Community Awards- 2011

Posted by: Willmark - 01-06-2012 09:48 PM - Replies (8)

2011 has come and gone and thus closing out another exciting year at Chaos Dwarfs Online. For the newer folks around this time every year we take stock and look over who has contributed the most in one way or another to the greater glory of the site and Chaos Dwarfs as a whole.

At stake is the recognition of your fellows and the 2011 Site medals.  These medals are perhaps one of the most coveted medals that one can win as it is voted entirely by your peers based on your conduct on the site. No other medal on the site is dependent on your actions and standing amongst your peers.

So with all this now is the time to get your nominations in.  REMEMBER: this is only for achievements in the year 2011.  Anything that has been achieved in years past other than 2011 is not counted for nominations.

The categories for 2011 are unchanged from previous years and are as follows:

Best Attitude - A member should be nominated on their forum presence and behavior toward other members, displaying exemplary attitudes of kindness and encouragement.

Best General - This member is always ready to give advice on army lists, has very good lists of his own, and perhaps has won a tournament or two using his Chaos Dwarf army.

Best Hobbyist -A nominee for this award has contributed an amazing model, or models that exemplifies what a Chaos Dwarf army should look like: flawless execution of conversion and painting while adhering to the Chaos Dwarf mythos.

Best Contributor - This award will go the member that has contributed most to the cause of the Chaos Dwarfs.  He or she has done or made something that has profoundly benefited the presence of Chaos Dwarfs as a whole!

Best Overall Member - This member may not be the best hobbyist, might not ever win a tournament, but he or she has a great presence on the site, the forum, the wiki, the chat and whatever else!  They are dedicated to the cause of the Chaos Dwarfs!

What to nominate for?
I encourage you to supply the reason for your nominations.  If you can't think of who to nominate for a category, do some research.  If you don't know who the best general should be for example, take a look at the Gaming section of the forum. Who's been posting battle reports, tactic and helping others with army lists? These should help you come up with a nominee.

How to Nominate
PM your nominations to Staff (a special user that all Staff have access to).

NOTE: You can only nominate one person per category. If you can't decide which one, flip a coin!

Nominations should include this:

Award Name
Member Name
The contribution that should be recognized and why they should be recognized.

As in the past the nominations will be tallied and ranked.  The top 3 members for each category will then be sent a pm asking them to accept or reject their nomination by a certain deadline yet to be determined. If they accept they will then become an official nominee.

If a member rejects the nomination it will be offered to the person with the 4th highest votes, and so on.  This may mean that if a lot of people reject nominations, or there are not enough people nominated in a category there may only be 1 or 2 people to vote for (or potentially none).

If a person does not reply to the pm we will work on the assumption that they want it and it will automatically be accepted.

We will not tell people how many other nominees there are. Nor will we reveal who the nominees are prior to the next post that announces the official voting.

The final nominees' names will then be prepared in separate polls for all to vote on beginning 1st February.  After this there will be a 2 week public poll to decide the winners.

Deadlines:
The deadline for sending in nominations is 11:59 PM EST (eastern standard time) January 23rd, 2012. This gives a solid 2 weeks to get nominations in and prepare the polls.

Exempt Members
Note that any members with warnings outstanding will not be given the opportunity to accept a nomination. We will not discuss any of this with the community at large as this is only pertinent to the Staff and the member(s) in question.

The Staff CAN be nominated, HOWEVER, they must not be nominated for their staff-related duties.  For example, Willmark could be nominated for his work on "X", but not for being excellent at moderating the forums.  This way we are all on fair ground.  We are dealing with what we offer the forum as members, not as staffers.

If you have any questions, just ask any of the Staffers!  Send your nominations in as soon as you can!

Golden Hat #16 1-3 K'daai Fireborn

Please submit 3 numbers as votes by sending a PM to Golden Hat. We had 15 entries this time, which means each entrant will receive 15 slaves once the winners have been announced. Also, because there was more than 10 entries there will be Gold, Silver and Bronze Golden Hat medals up for grabs!

Timing for many of us (*ahem*) was difficult, but everyone was in fine forum (pun intended) with some amazing and creative entries.

How to vote
PM Golden Hat with the three numbers of the entries you like best!

And remember!

Rules Wrote:

Additionally, when you cast votes you must vote for your 3 favorite entries. Each (more or less) anonymous entry below is numbered ranging from 1 to 14. After one week, we will post the results. All staff will have access to the votes if you have a problem with the voting or have questions as to how to vote, likewise, contact one of us.

There is no need to specify which one you think is 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Simply list the three that you like we will do the rest.

Voting will close January 11th, 2012, at 11:59pm EST

Golden Hat #16

Posted by: Nicodemus - 11-19-2011 02:28 AM - Replies (113)

Welcome to the 16th Golden Hat competition of Chaos Dwarfs Online!

Subject Matter
The subject for this Golden Hat is to create 1-3 K'daai Fireborn models, based on the unit from the new Legion of Azgorh Chaos Dwarf list from Forge World. Basing is on a square base with a choice of either 40x40mm or 50x50mm (your choice, but if you create more than one K'daai model their base sizes must all be the same).

The K'daai model can represent any of the following from the Legion of Azgorh:
K'daai Fireborn
K'daai Manburner (effectively the unit champion)

K'daai are daemons which have been enslaved by Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers and contained within an armoured framework of metal. The entry cannot be a a duel or diorama and must, at a minimum, reasonably represent a K'daai Fireborn/Manburner.

Basing
Either 40x40mm or 50x50mm square bases only, but is the entrant's choice.
Display bases are not allowed.
Diorama style bases are not allowed.
The full rules for basing can be found here.

Specifics
Subject: 1-3 K'daai Fireborn (minimum if 1 K'daai and a maximum of 3)
The due Date: 11:59 PM December 31st 2011 EST (Eastern Standard Timezone)

Please read the full rules that apply to the Golden Hat competition before submitting your entry.

What is the deadline?
Once again same basic premise as previous Golden Hats; send all entries to the Golden Hat account no later 11:59 PM December 31st 2011 EST (Eastern Standard Timezone). Entries will not be accepted after that date and time regardless of how cool your submission is. (Entrants have ~6 weeks to complete entries).

If for some reason you are having trouble with your submission, contact one of the Staff. In order to avoid problems, entrants should not wait until the last minute to submit their entries...

How to Enter
Upload up to 4 photos of your entries to the Internet. Next, send a PM to Golden Hat (a special user that all Staff have access to) containing the links where the pictures can be found. (Note: This is the same as previous Golden Hats).

If you win:
- Rightly take your place in the Golden Hat Hall of Fame, where your glory will be remembered for years to come.
- Receive the Golden Hat medal for your online persona *
- Everyone who enters gets a number of slaves equal to the number of entries. If 50 people enter we award 50 slaves to each person who entered.

*= As with previous Golden Hats; if there are more then 10 entrants the silver and bronze Golden Hat Medals will be awarded as well.

Entries will count towards a veteran medal.

Once all entries are received a thread will be created for voting within the first week of 2012. If there are any questions please send a PM to myself, another Staff member or post them here. Ideally post them here so that everyone can benefit from any details or clarifications that may arise.
