Golden Scribe Nomination Introduction

It's a brisk day in Indianapolis and two guys are standing on the back porch of a house, leaning over a snow covered grill that one appears to pretend to be using as a podium. There are a couple of bored and slightly annoyed looking folks standing in the yard facing them.

"Hello, is this thing on? I want to thank you all for joining us here this fine day in my backyard. I'm sterlingice and this is my fellow judge, MacroGuru" *gestures*

"FOFC couldn't spring for any better accommodations for us today to announce the nominees and, really, whose bright idea was this, anyway, to do this opposite the NFL playoffs on a football board" *MacroGuru whispers something*

"Oh, mine, right. Ahem. Well, uh, um. Um. Uh. Yeah, so we're here today to announce the nominees for the 2011 Golden Scribes awards! But first, we have to make a few notes about the process. Please refer to the pamphlets we handed out at the start of the proceedings entitled Judging Decisions for more details."

Judging Decisions:
  • First, we made a decision that each dynasty could only be only nominated for one category. On one hand, we would have preferred that the excellent cross-category could get multiple nominations and wins. On the other hand, we also wanted to recognize as many deserving dynasties as possible. The only exception to this is the "Dynasty of the Year" categories- a dynasty could have been nominated for a particular category and DOY.
  • Secondly, for Dynasty of the Year, there will only be 3 entries per year. These should be the cream of the crop. Just like for any award, for some years, the crop was a bit weaker: 2008 was dominated by one dynasty that I would be very surprised if it did not win. For others, like 2009, there were quite a few popular dynasties and it was a lot tougher to get into that field.
  • There were a ton of disparate entries for "Real Life" and "Other" with quite a few nominations with quite a few votes. We separated out a "Media" category and an "Other Sports" category. Unfortunately, there was only one Hockey dynasty and it got folded into this category.
  • There are a couple of headscratchers where you might ask "why did dynasty X go into category Y instead of category Z". This was a bit like making the NCAA tournament bracket. Why did Villanova get sent out to the West region yet again? Because, we didn't get exactly 5 dynasties with the perfect number of votes for every category so to make sure the most popular dynasties made it in, a couple of square peg in round hole instances happened. Below are the couple of really obvious ones we made:
    • I'm really not sure Geocaching is a sport. Same with running a 5K. But they were close enough for the "Other Sport" categories.
    • Where's George kindof got shuffled off to Media as it didn't fit with the rest of the "Real Life" ones (dating, business, job, etc) while "Media" was one short and I'm sure I can somehow invent a way that money is considered media in some strange fashion
    • Also, I had to choose between "Interactive" and "Other Sports" for Derby Bound and while I'd rather have put it in "Other Sports", we had 6 in "Other" and 4 in "Interactive" so I put it in Interactive so I could slide The State of Jefferson from "Other" to "Other Sports". It kindof annoys me as we would have had a great cross section in "Other Sports" with hockey, horse racing, auto racing, running, and geocaching. Instead, we replaced horse racing with multi-sport. Still works, but it feels like I just shipped Kansas to the south region because it's kindof in the middle so they could go anywhere.
"Lastly, for the venue, we determined the location the only fair way possible: a Google Fight. By a count of 201K to 168K, we will be hosting the 2011 Golden Scribes in... Radio City Music Hall, winning a tough battle over Carnegie Hall.

Voting will begin once the nominees and voting procedure is posted below, so, let's just say, 7pm this evening. It will conclude on Monday, January 17th at 11:59PM ET! The Awards show will start shortly thereafter and run until complete.

And now, without further adieu, your 2011 Golden Scribes Nominees!"

(NOTE: The nominees for a category are in no particular order and the categories are also in no particular order
EDIT: The categories are now in order they will be presented at the show. The nominees are not in any particular order except that the top one received the most nominations- other order is random)

As you can see, Macro and myself are going 4 times each (including the intro). Anyone still wanting to volunteer for presenting is more than welcome. Just let me know. Macro and I will be doing the intro and the last 2 of the night but beyond that, we're flexible if you want to take a little of the load off.

We're just finishing up DOY noms. 2008 was easily the toughest year to make noms- there's one juggernaut and then the least noms of any other year. 2009 is difficult in another way as there were 6 dynasties that would have been DOY candidates in any other year but we could only take 3.

Oh hell. Macro and I made a judging decision. All 6 from 2009 will be nominated as there were 6 with 4 nominations. Any other year any one of them would have been the top dynasty or tied for the top. After a rough 2008, it was a banner year in this cycle.

2009 also had the top nominated dynasty of the entire proceedings with 8 noms (5 noms, 3 DOY noms) in You'll Never Walk Alone (FM2010)

Had to make a minor change- 2006, 2007, and 2008 DOYs had a little switch of presenters

Tomorrow night, I'll explain the voting procedures to everyone and we should have final nominees for the werewolf and FOF categories.

Presenters, let me know if there are some issues with your assignments. Hopefully, everyone is ok with what they have. If necessary, keep in mind, you can't change into a category where you are nominated. I'll approach you guys in the next day or two with some particulars about the awards show so you can get to work on your presentations.

Ok- instructions have gone out to the presenters. Your nominees are all posted here so you can pretty much write your segments except for the winner part at the end.

I put the over/under on instances of using Natalie Portman as a host at 2. You know you want to and it's practically become a running gag here.

There's still a place for anyone wanting to be a presenter- just let me know via PM.

Next up, voting...

Voting rules are also posted on page 1:

Golden Scribes Voting Rules

1. Just send me (sterlingice) a PM.

Have something like "Golden Scribes Votes" as the title.

2. You're allowed to vote for 1 dynasty per category.

More than 1 vote for a category will disqualify all of your votes in that category

3. You don't have to vote for every category for your ballot to be counted.

Hey, I don't know anything about Werewolf either but I can vote on the others

4. Submit your votes between the morning of Tuesday January 11th and Monday January 17th at 6pm ET

I will post in the thread for when voting has started on Tuesday morning

5. The judges' (sterlingice and MacroGuru) decisions in voting is the final verdict

Please, no hanging chads and do not vote for Pat Buchanan

Thanks! And happy voting!

I like this idea a lot, and it's inspired me to start writing a dynasty (or four) of my own. I haven't had a chance to read through most of the dynasties, but how common is it to post pictures? If I'm running a FOF dynasty, just screen shot it and paste it in MSPaint?

Also, I have read some of the dynasties, but not all. So when I get a chance, I'll read those up for nominations and cast some votes.

Again, great idea! I love anything that spurs and encourages creativity!

They run the gamut from pure text to very graphic intensive. I'd point out a couple of examples but I don't want to bias the voting too much.

Heck, there are quite a few games that output easy to generate images or HTML for dynasties to display.
