The J&H Awards - Sunday 29th

The J&H Awards ~Summer & Autumn 2016~

Hello everyone, thank you for opening this thread! This is an announcement thread for the second edition of the J&H awards, which I will be hosting for you guys. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, @jerome_xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD will not be able to host the awards so I have volunteered in replacement for the second edition.

Here is all the information you need to know, regarding how/where to vote, what the awards are and when they will take place:

What are the J&H awards?

The J&H awards is a ceremony in which the most influential & loved members/staff members will be rewarded for their efforts to the community. You could see this thread as a 'thank you' for making J&H such a great Minecraft community. Don't worry, it's not just about popularity! The awards will include categories such as funniest member, most creative member, most inspirational.. etc. More information on those later.

Where will the J&H awards take place?

The J&H awards for Summer & Autumn 2016 will be taking place on a specific custom Teamspeak channel on the J&H TS server (ts.itsjerryandharry.com). It will look like this:


To access it, once you are logged onto the TS server scroll down past the 'custom user channels' section and you will see it there. There will be no password and a microphone is not required to join, you are able to just listen to the awards if you wish.

In game, however, the awards will be revealed on the Creative2 server at a specific plot. Co-ordinates and locations of this plot will be given soon.

When will the J&H awards take place?

The J&H awards will take place on the 28th January 2017. The exact time will be decided soon.

Spoiler: Countdown

What do I need help with?

Here's the part where you can vote for someone to win the J&H awards! Firstly, I need you to nominate people for voting, this voting will start as soon as this thread is up and this is what you have to do:

There will be 11 categories, these are:

Most influential non-staff member

Most loved non-staff member

Most influential staff member

Most loved staff member

Funniest member

Most creative/artistic member

Best member at playing minigames

Most kind

Owner of best survival faction

Owner of best hardcore faction

Most inspirational

Firstly, you need to vote for people who you want to nominate for the final polls. The way this will work is you have to send me a PM/conversation or on a reply to this thread telling me who you want to nominate for each category. Try and set it out in a form by writing the category then the name after it, that will help me out much more but I don't mind.

Secondly, on the 10th January the votes will all be collected in and straw polls will be created. These straw polls will highlight the users with the most votes in each section, so you can choose one of them to win the award. They are the nominees for the final award. These straw polls will then end on the 26th January until the 28th January when the ceremony will take place and the final winners will be announced.

VOTING WILL START ON THE DAY THIS THREAD IS POSTED:
10th December 2016


What will be the rewards?

Rewards will be decided soon, please be patient.​

If it still doesn't make sense (I tried making it as clear as I could, I know it's complicated), here's a timeline for the awards:
-10th December 2016: Votes for the nominees are accepted
-10th January 2017: Votes for the nominees are closed, and straw polls will be created for the 3 people with the most votes
-26th January 2017: Votes for the final winner are closed
-28th January 2017: Final winners announced and the ceremony will occur

Thank you for reading and I hope you will all be present on the 28th of January!

Damn. Excited!

 

Can you nominate yourself :)

 

Sorry, no.

 

So can people win an award/be nominated two years in a row?

 

I don't see why not.

 

even though I won't host the awards, I will still answer you people's questions

no you can't, the point of nominating people is to reduce favoritism, so any self-nominations will be ignored.

yes, they can.

 

Somehow the award

is on my birthday

 

Don't think I got my award from the last round. Rip.

 

Going to change the voting system a bit due to some confused inbox messages. You can vote on this thread, and please be aware that if you're voting make sure to add a name for more than 5 categories.

An idea of how to vote:

Most influential non-staff member: User134
Most loved non-staff member: User77
Most influential staff member: User181
etc

 

funnn

 

v fun

 

Just a reminder, there are under 2 weeks left of voting until nominations close and the straw pools are created for the winner.

 

Can you nominate a player for more than 1 award?

 

yes

 

Two more days until the straw polls! Make sure to get your vote in now if you want a chance at having someone in the final nominations.

 

Is it okay to leave some blank? For example, I never play hardcore survival so I have no idea who to vote for and that could result in an unfair pick.

 

That's fine.

 

Still no "Most Retarded posts made" or "Most 'Trying to be Funny' Posts made?"
How am I supposed to get nominated? is this an attack to me? I thought we were friends.
(I was joking about the part where "How am I supposed to get nominated" and the whole "attack thing")

I could see a lot of people voting the same person over and over again every year.. (not that its a bad thing)
Its just that.. HOW AM I- ARE WE SUPPOSE TO GET OUR TIME TO SHINE.
(this was also a joke)
Ik I'm funny.. no? nice joke.
