    First half of 2018

    Hello, the J&H community!
    I am more than happy to announce that the J&H awards are back!
    If you have been a member of this community in 2016-2017, you more than likely remember this ceremony that was hosted firstly by myself and then by TreeKillerMan. In total, there were 3 of these events and after a year of break, I announce that the J&H awards will take place again. If you are new or do not remember, please be introduced.

    What are the J&H awards?
    ~
    The J&H awards is a ceremony in which the most influential & loved members and staff members will be rewarded. You can see this as the "J&H Oscars". During this ceremony, we won't only celebrate our favorite members. Will have fun on the Discord server and by organizing games, challenges, karaoke events and much more! It will basically be an awesome community event like that will instantly bring you back in 2015 when these events were plentiful!

    Where will the J&H awards take place?
    ~
    To communicate, we will use the ItsJerryAndHarry Discord server and we will probably use either a custom voice channel or one of the public voice channels.

    In-game, this event will take place in my Creative2 spawn plot. It's an amazing plot that was mostly built by myself, @Darkstorm77, @andy, @OfficerDeadly, @matrizzle and @KokichiOma (there were other people who helped, but I can't recall who they were, if you do remember, please tell me).
    That plot is an amazing place to mess around in. It has parkour, easter eggs, houses, a very attractive landscape and lots of stuff to do!

    If you wish to go visit the plot, feel free to do so. You can find it on creative2 and its ID is (2,2).

    However, this event will not limit itself to just this plot in creative2. We will play a bunch of minigames together (especially legacy ones as they require multiple players to play on). This will really bring back the essence of any TeamSpeak event from 2015!

    When will the J&H awards take place?
    ~
    The ceremony will take place on Saturday, September 1st 2018 at 1:30 PM EST.
    Here is a countdown timer.


    How this is important for the community
    ~
    It will be a really fun event that people will look forward to. I think that community-related events were one of the things that kept this server well and alive and the lack of these events is one of the things that make this server feel "dead" as everyone says. If people actually participate in this event, it might inspire people to host events with the community that will make this server feel fun and alive again. So, I would like all of you reading this to do an effort in participating in some way or another.

    So, how do I participate?
    ~
    Firstly, if you're interested, replying to this thread is a very good way of telling me that people are interested and that I should go on with this project, so please do so.

    Secondly, I would like you all to help me with nominating the members! To do so, please send me a PM.

    In that PM, send me player nominations for any of the following categories.
    Most influential non-staff member

    Most loved non-staff member

    Most influential staff member

    Most loved staff member

    Funniest member

    Best member at playing minigames

    Most kind

    Owner of best survival faction

    Owner of best hardcore faction

    Most Inspirational

    Nominate as many people as you want, for as many categories as you want. Only nominations I will not take into account are votes for yourself. And please try voting for people who were relevant in 2018, and not earlier.

    Nomination is open until July 1st. Then, voting will start.

    What will be the rewards?
    ~
    The prizes are still to be chosen. You will get a little statue of yourself built on the plot in creative2 for your honor to last forever.

    Back in 2016, I gave out over 5.5 million$ in survival money, however, I do not have that kind of money on this server anymore due to the reset. So, if you have any ideas or if you wish to donate to make prizes, please tell me! I am open to all suggestions and you will get a shoutout and a free statue of yourself on the plot if you donate a significant amount (in either survival of factions)!

    it's not these kinds of comments that will bring "players and active staff". i am doing an effort to create an event that people will look forward to, and that will bring our community together. our community is still big enough for these kinds of events to work, even though they never happen. instead of complaining about the server dying, why don't we do something about it?

    I like the idea of this, it's just a shame that nobody remembers me from 2014-2017 too well. :(

    (I can smash most people at HC if that means anything)

    lol im not against the event, I was just making a joke. "instead of complaining about the server dying, why don't we do something about it?" you think we haven't tried that? even j&h tried themselves and couldn't do it so don't get your hopes up.

    g'luck to whoever gets nominated though.

    UPDATE: I am currently working out prizes with @androo who is my very generous and rich friend, it will probably look like money on survival and full diamond p4 kits in factions, but that's still to confirm.

    I am still always open for any donations from people who wish to help the event, and you will get the appropriate recognition.

    Also, NOMINATE MEMBERS IN MY PM PLS! I have only gotten two people nominating so far, and we need a decent amount of nominations for the event to work!

    @hmj is it possible to add a notice somewhere about making sure nominations/voting takes into account that these are awards for winter-spring 2018 and not in general? I think that was overlooked a bit last year, hopefully might prevent some of the backlash as well.

    There is currently not enough nominations for the event to work.

    I will expend the deadline for the nominations until July 14th, and if I don't get enough, I will sadly have to cancel the event.

    I have a lot of money in Survival and Since I don't play much, I might think about giving some to you guys. I can tell that you really want to bring sparks back into this server and I respect that. Msg me if you want me to donate a prize.

    I don't feel the desire to PM you, I hope you don't mind some public nominations and categories you may not have listed.

    I nominate hmj as the most continuously positive member of the community
    I nominate zmanmz for his passion poured into factions
    I nominate SMG as the most underrated staff member
    I nominate Scout as the most influential staff member
    I nominate Leanna as the most non-influenced by toxicity among peers
    I nominate Lucy for the most improved positive change in behavior

    There are more nominations I'd like to make, but I can't think of them right now.

    Thanks for hosting (or trying to host) this. You are welcome to adjust my nominations to fit them into your categories if it is helpful.

    would you mind copy pasting this message into my PM? it will be a lot easier for me to compile all the nominees if they're all in the same place.

    Done, also, you should try this instead of telling people how to DM you:
