User blog:Detective SkullWolf/SFW Autumn Awards 2014 - Nominations!

Hello everyone. It's that time of year again. Welcome to the SFW Autumn Awards (which I have conveniently decided to start four days earlier than expected because I can).

Now, I should warn you all that I will be doing something different for the nomination process. By that, I mean the introduction of a new set of rules that may or may not become permanent. For now, just consider this a test. The purpose of these rules is to help balance the number of self-nominations, which has become a notable issue with the awards. So here are the new rules. Please read them carefully to avoid confusion:

As for the general rules: And now, the categories! I've removed a few from last times and introduced a few newcomers, so let's see how it works out!
 * Users are allowed to make three self-nominations by default. A single article that is submitted into more than one category counts as multiple nominations.
 * In order to submit more of their articles, users must nominate other people's pages. Every three other-user nominations grants a user one additional self-nomination. Picture nominations count as half an article.
 * Self-removal of other-user nominations will result in a deduction from the nomination total. If this results in a user not having enough other-user nominations for each self-nomination, then the most recent self-nomination will be removed.
 * If a user requests that their article be removed from the nomination pool and it was another user that had requested it to be there, no deduction will be made from their nomination total. Exploitation of this rule will result in removal of the offender's self-nominations.
 * Users are responsible for keeping track of the number of self-nominations and other-user nominations. It would be a good idea for them to leave an update at the end of every nomination they make so it is easier to keep tabs.
 * Nominations that won the last awards in a category that had at least five contestants are barred from this season.
 * Pages that mainly have to do with content that is considered canon to the Sonic franchise are barred from the Awards. For example: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (User117's Universe), Chaos Emerald, or Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

Best Chaotic
A newcomer! A character in this category can be good, evil, or neutral. However, one thing for certain is that they don't follow the law. Who is the outlawest of outlaws?

Best Lawful
A newcomer! A character in this category can be good, evil, or neutral. However, one thing for certain is that the law governs their everyday actions. Who is the best when it comes to following the book o' rules?

Best Motivational Speaker
This category will be replacing Best Quote. Along with a character nomination, users must submit an example of one of the character's best quotes (a maximum of three quotes are allowed to be submitted with a nomination).

Best Looks
Most Handsome Male and Most Beautiful Female have now become subcategories!

Best Joke Character
This category is an exception to the first general rule. Previous winners are allowed to be consecutively nominated.

Best Group
A newcomer! What team/organization will rise above the rest?

Best Picture
And now some holiday-themed categories!

Scariest Character
For obvious reasons, Tails Doll and Sonic.exe are barred. We're looking for original characters.

Best Turkey
There you have it. Get to nominating as you only have until the 15th of November!
