How to nominate for a 2009 Watchy - READ FIRST

YouTube · Post by **Menolly** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 2:51 am

The categories for the 2009 edition of the Kevin's Watch Awards (the "Watchies") have now been generated. Each Watcher may nominate once and second once in each category by posting their nominee or seconding an already posted nomination in the appropriate thread. Private nominations and seconds will not be accepted.

However, a Watcher may not nominate or second a nomination for themselves, nor can they second a nomination they post.

Nominations are now open and will run through midnight EST, Sunday, January 31st. Should nominations go slowly, this period may be extended. Let's try and get the nominations in though.

Please keep all discussion in the nomination threads to nominations and seconds. For discussion of nominees, please come to the 2009 Rules, suggestions and discussion thread.

For suggested nominees throughout the year, please check the above discussion thread and the 2009 Spotlight Awards thread.

Have at it.

It's the 19th, I went to nominate someone, and the thread is locked. How could you have failed me like this?

Patience, O Leonine One.
I purposely didn't set an hour, just said "January 19th, EST."

Couldn't we have the noms up a bit longer? Like maybe to the end of the month? Or am I just too damn slow?

I second the motion for more time.

More than nearly a week?
We're behind schedule as it is...

People will show up in March and say they had no idea we were doing it already.

Perhaps a board-wide email message?

Sheesh, it's not like it's a race.

Or that there are lives riding on the timeous completion.

We've started, that's the important thing. I think a slightly longer nomination period is a good idea.

(The email too...I'll ask Jay or Danlo to do it.)

Agreed.

Y'all suggest to the end of the month then?

Post by **Avatar** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 5:16 pm

At least, I'd say.

Edited to extend deadline another week to the end of the month.

Man, at least a month. I'm overwhelmed by all these threads.

When seconding, please be sure to state who or what you are seconding, especially if there are more than one non-seconded nominations in the category before your second is posted.
