gowfanatic Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 perhaps do it similar to the yearly awards thread, in which people are nominated. After a certain amount of time for nominations, then make a poll based on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso Quixano Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sure this may be a little pre-mature, and a little attention seeking. Though I must say, it's refreshing to see someone actually take initiative, and post. If you don't like it, it's your fault for not contributing more, not the person who is contributing. In a world where I can pick up a controller, say 'xbox on', and be playing a match in starwars battlefront in under two minutes, it's nice to nice to see an online political game, actually have people posting (even if it's drivel, or unimportant), it shows new players that there is still room to play this game.

It makes a difference in who I would nominate. I agree. The net is far too wide and subjective for the OWF. It will always depend on your AA's values and your sphere. That's why I always liked Ying Yang Mafia's semi-serious awards at NG. Diplo of the Year didn't always go to the most liked or most influential, but the diplo that put up with the most hostility. Of course, I did win spamposter twice in a row, which makes me biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now everything which has happened from January through April is still fresh in people's minds at least. People already have 1/3rd of the year to base their nominations. If we let people adjust or add their nominations for another 1/3rd of the year & have a vote in August or September; then someone would be Player of the Year for a third of the Year. I don't think anyone cares who the player of the year was for 2015, so waiting to begin nominating people until this should already be decided upon isn't the way to go. Maybe more people will take bold actions to make themselves stand out if they are aware people are giving thought into who the player of the year is. 5 hours ago, Duderonomy said: I agree.

As for the definition, I agree it is broad and subjective. Although I don't think it is to broad for the OWF. An individual you think has had the biggest impact or generated the most interest among the community are good ways of thinking of it. Influence, accomplishments & other factors can all play into it; however lets look at Time Magazine's Person of the Year criteria for an example, Quote Person of the Year (called Man of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, group, idea or object that "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year" I would expect people to choose someone who's done the most to influence events & caused a lot of waves, rather than someone who could make bigger waves if they really wanted to; but instead choose not to use their influence. So I think actions which generate interest matter more than being liked or being the most influential.
