Tell me about POTW

[Daradon]

Hey, had some questions about the POTW threads.

Of course, POTW stands for Player of the Week, I get that much, but I don't understand how or why we are to be involved. I'll just list my questions.

1. Do we nominate only from our own team, like in real life? Or do we nominate other players from other teams we notice have had a great week?

2. Do all categories need to have a nomination? IE, I have a forward who has a good shot to make POTW, but my other players have been rather average, and I don't feel like taking the time to fill out all slots especially if I know they won't win.

3. What's up with the 'poster' category? Is this for a GM who made an (or more than one) amazing and amusing post over the course of the previous week? Are we to nominate ourselves?

4. Is this just for fun and bragging rights, or is there something to be gained from winning these honors?

5. How do the winners get selected?

Thanks!

1. Yes you nominate in the threads posted for nominations.
2. You can nominate for whatever categories you feel like
3. nominate a poster not named yourself for their board musings
4. cap!
5. Turd and Dsav choose in a communist fashion

The only thing I really have to what has been said is that the cap for each weekly award is 0.15M. Sounds small, but believe me, that adds up quick.

In the past we have had pretty good participation in the weekly and monthly awards but for what ever reason that seems to be down this year. Low turnout actually makes it a lot easier to win if you spend the 5 minutes it takes to look at your stats or use the stats calculator that David created.

Let either David or I know if you have any other questions about how this works.
