Welcome to the fourth annual RPM Awards! I'm your hostess, Becky~
This event has now become twice as big as last year, and alongside it comes some new rules.
There are 2 different types of Awards. First one is for members on this website.
You can vote for anyone, including staff. The same goes for you, staff members.
The second one is about everyone and everything!!
The special awards will ask you which Rockman/Mega Man Fan Community Member you like the most. This counts any person that focus on Rockman/Mega Man, no matter if they have blogs, forums, upload media, draw artworks, hosting an information website and so on, including members on RPM. The same thing goes for which web-related Rockman/Mega Man community you like the most. It doesn't matter if it's a regular information website, a blog or forum. There are some more awards available, like your favorite fan game, ROM Hacks, Video/Flash, Artwork, Music and more. Someone suggested a Character award last year, so now it's here.
Awards that has come back are Best Games and Animes, in 2009 and Ever. And to make the votes and debates more fun, we added the Worst for each category too. You can also rate which forum topic you feel were the most Funniest, Informative, Debatable, Boring, Saddest and Annoying. Lastly, you can vote for which game-related announcements you found was coolest, funniest or saddest. This counts interviews, game releases, accessories/peripherals, game systems, pretty much anything that has to do with games.
Something you should do when you vote on the Special Awards: Please link to the thing that you want to vote for. This includes videos, artworks, fan games/artworks, music, whatever. I can access any service the internet has to offer, including
Pixiv,
Nico Video,
DeviantArt,
Youtube, -booru, and so on.
This would also count for game announcements and personal blog sites. If an artist or community member has their own website, don't forget to link to them if you have the need for it. This award is different than the last ones, because it puts more focus on the Special Awards, trying our best to promote other people and fan-media outside and inside RPM.
Next to each category, there's a number next to them. If it says (3), it means you can only vote on 3 members or 3 things on that specific category. (2) means you can only choose 2 members/things, and the numbers go on like this. You can only vote for one Couple/Duo.
How does the awards submission work then?
You have to send a Private Message to me with every single one of your entries, packed into one single message. You SHOULD be a member of the forum for your entries to be accepted, but that might change soon. Although we would like to accept e-mails from people outside the forum, it would be too hectic to try and organize the votes from them, so for the moment, we don't accept e-mails.
On some occasions, if you missed out on a few categories, a reply will be sent, reminding you of what categories you forgot to vote on. The more votes you manage to fill out, then it will be more organized, and everyone will get the votes they deserve without any votes being missed out. Every member that has sent in their entries will get their own "Voted 2009" icon printed in their profile when the awards has ended, so that icon is a free award for participating. The entries doesn't have to be accepted on DAY ONE. Take ALL the time you want, before the last day.
Voting on yourself is NOT allowed, and the entries where you vote on yourself will be ignored.
If I missed something, please let me know.
Oh, and the awards list will change during the course of the month IF we have to change something. If it does, we'll let you know.
Copy this complete list, open a private message and Paste it there, send it to me, and I will be able to organize everything properly.
