The Boarders Awards for 2003

Trout · 19 November, 2003, 03:39:17 PM

A 20-category limit?

Bloody hell. We'll be here to next year.

Well, as long as it's in poll format, and I don't need to work through all those threads.

Sorry to brutally resurrect a thread - was just wondering if this is still happening?

Slippery PD · 03 December, 2003, 03:51:12 PM

Aha yes it is. Ill post the Awards, but voting is not starting until we have prog 2004. The awrds will be in a better format and we have a list of choices for the year (to make voting easier), big respect to Bolt 01, who did most of the legwork and whose blubrs are rather funny....

Best villain?

Slippery PD · 03 December, 2003, 05:13:12 PM

Im trying to keep the awards at a minimum, but if the public wants it theyll get it. So give me your opinions....

I don't see why, most comics fans are obsessive types anyway so give us a long list and we'll work our way through it all the same.

Best Individual Fan Strip?

Slippery PD · 03 December, 2003, 05:31:38 PM

Im trying to keep them to minimum as they may be message board threads and I dont want to clog the board..... but we could do it as polls..... something we need to discuss..... Im deciding after Dreddcon :D

Polls! Polls! Polls!

(C'mon Wake's even said he'll set up a page for it)

I can't be bothered to wade through separate message threads. I haven't for Logan's voting, I can't be bothered with it all. A poll though, one click on one page, is much simpler (plus in this instance I get an instant average result, which I know we won't with the Boarders Award, but still)

As a note about the voting for covers on the message board. As this is only a small cross section of users who vote, it can't really be representative of the best covers, but the individual cover votes on the prog profile pages, provides a much better idea of the best covers.

Not yet. We should do this after Prog 2004 is out.

Patience, expatriate one.

Bolt-01 · 04 December, 2003, 03:25:48 PM

As far as this year is concerned, prog 2003 is indeed valid, as it is the start point for many of the stories.

I, personally, feel that 2004 shuld not be included unless it contains more than one final episode.

Slips, this is the first time I've been abe to read this thread for a while, I'm off work today (YAY!), so will you mail me later with any details for the polls (if that is going to happen) as I am getting my web-fu into shape for the threads, and I have no idea what may have to change.

Bolt-01.

Trout · 04 December, 2003, 03:28:45 PM

But didn't we include Prog 2003 in last year's voting? That's all I'm basing my opinion on.

If I'm misremembering, I'll back down.

Slippery PD · 04 December, 2003, 03:41:02 PM

To be honest Im not sure if we did or didnt. But Bolt and I are trying to put together a Template that will work in the future with less work, hence the threads or polls discussion and what awards to have. What I personally want is to have the document that Bolt has done some tremendous work on and use it years to come (I suppose this is my wifes project management coming out) it will hopefully take out all the legwork for the most part.

So the timeline Id like is from prog 2003 up to next weeks prog (if this is the last prog before 2004), Im still open for more Votes and any discussions on Polls or Threads is also welcome.

PS - Bolt Im off to today up until wednesday but Ill be at home and I can get anything you send to my work mail account anyway. Just let me know...

Trout · 04 December, 2003, 04:24:26 PM

Okay, let's do that. Sounds like sterling work is under way.

As you say, we can discuss it this weekend.
