2014 Blocklander of the Year

Your 2014 Blocklander of the Year

Wrapperup

I hope you've been a good kid.

The old thread from 2013.

That’s right, it’s happening again. After the unprecedented participation and involvement last year (132 pages long if anyone counted), I’ve decided to give this another run. There will be a few changes this year, but none will be drastic from the rules last year.

Let’s give a final round of applause to the 2013 winners and finalists:

2013 Champion:

Teneksi (Eksi)

Finalists:

2nd: Filipe (Filipe1020)
3rd: Nal
4th: Anti-Block (Camel)

Synopsis:

In the Blocklander of the Year competition, everyone who cares to participate starts off by nominating their top five favorite Blockland users (forums and/or in-game). Preferably, the nominations are confidential so no one knows who voted for whom. I store all of the nominees until the nomination deadline, where I then use a completely random source to choose names over a series of polls. All nominees will appear in a poll at some time. The 1st and 2nd place winners of each poll (usually consisting of a divisible number <10 compared the total nominations) will then move to the semi-finals. Four users will move from the semi-finals to the final poll, which ends on January 01. The winner of that poll will be our 2014 Blocklander of the Year.

Rules:

All the rules from last year apply for this session as well, with a few amendments being made.

1.   You may not nominate yourself.
2.   You may only nominate a maximum of five people.
3.   You may not nominate someone multiple times.
4.   If possible, it is preferred that you nominate users over PM to me.
5.   You may not question the way I do things.

Amendments:

1.   After the Charles v. KelBlock incident last year, bribery is allowed in all forms at any time.
2.   You may use alts to vote [in polls] for yourself.
-   Disclaimer: You may not use an alt to nominate more users.
3.   NEW THIS YEAR: You may only nominate people who have been active during this year. It is 2014 for a reason.
4.   NEW THIS YEAR: After several nominations for Ad Bot last year, you may not nominate a bot.
5.   NEW THIS YEAR: You may not nominate a banished (aka ban-on-sight) user. We all know that they don’t deserve it.
6.   NEW THIS YEAR: After several nominations for Ad ßot (parody of Ad Bot, which was banned prior to last year’s competition), you may not nominate joke accounts.

Advertising:

I've changed my mind about advertising. Starting as of today (Nov 17), you may PM me your posters or quotes which I will put into the OP under this heading. You can promote yourself or someone else in any way so long as it abides by forum rules. They will appear in chronological order so you better get cracking.

Schedule:

This is still fairly uncertain due to an unknown expectation on nominations and changing out polls in comparison to my real life schedule. I can usually get online only at random times throughout the day so last year’s “8PM Switchout” is probably not going to work.

November 15: Preparations begin. Advertising is available as well as discussion.
November 29: Nominations are opened.
December 10-20 (depends on traffic): Nominations are closed and the polls begin.
December 21-28 (depends): Semi-finals
December 28 – December 31: Final poll

Alright, here's how the future is going to go.

There will be a total of 8 polls, with this current one being 1 of 8. Polls #1-4 will have 10 options. Polls #5-8 will have 11 options.

Altogether, 85 individuals were nominated for the contest. Of those, 16 will move to the semi-finals (two winners in each poll). Another round of semi-finals will follow suit, with 8 users.

After that poll is done, the top 4 will be in the finals, and the winner of that will get the title.

Prizes:

Although I was seriously considering something based on Steam cash or game rewards, I simply cannot afford to do that; maybe next year. I don’t know anything about what ended up happening, but Nal offered VIP of the New Year’s Server to last year’s champion…hint hint??

FAQs (feel free to add more):

Do I have to nominate five people?: No, it can be fewer, but no more than five.

Do you have a system for resolving tiebreakers?: Yes. If I close a poll and there is a tie for first place, there will be a tiebreaker round for each tiebreaking incident after all the polls are done. This may result in some scheduling changes.

The person I want to nominate has been banned, and is no longer part of the forums as far as I know, but is not a ban-on-sight user. Can I still nominate them, assuming they were active sometime during this year?: Yes. It is no different than someone taking a leave of absence.

Does my nominee have to be a member of the forums?: No, it can be someone in-game.

My nominee is a ban-on-sight user on the forums, but is still very active in-game. Can I nominate them?: No. If someone was bad enough to be forcefully removed to the point of permanent exile, they cannot be nominated.

My PM privileges have been revoked. Can I still nominate users?: Yes. Either do it here or by some random lucky coincidence, catch me on Steam.

I’m too lazy to PM you. Can I still nominate users?: Yes…I just prefer PMs so I can always find them later without digging through the thread.

Can I change my nomination(s)?: Yes, once again by preferred PM.

Can I nominate someone who won last year?: Yes.

Is Tenshi eligible for nomination?: Yes.

What happens if someone in the contest is permanently banished over the course of operations?: If it happened while nominations are still opened, those who nominated that user will be able to put in a new user. If it happens during the polls, they will simply be removed, except in the case of finals. If it happens during finals, the fifth place contender will move up to take their place and the poll will be restarted.

Let's see how this goes.
