Modification to Article of the Year

[garbageman]

In the original proposition, 1st place got 10 points and 3 runners up got 5 points.

Due to lack of nomination activity, think this needs to be rolled back so only 1st place gets points. Propose we vote on:

A) Keep current system
B) Only 1st place gets points (10 points)
C) Only 1st place gets points (5 points, like all other awards)

I like the current system - I think that nominations across the board were down this year, and it may very well be an outlier that doesn't require a policy-change. I think that getting the nomination due dates up earlier will be a big help. (As this group, myself included, is very due-date driven I think knowing what those are well in advance as opposed to a long period of 'TBD' will yield more nominations).

Anyway, just my thoughts.

Agree here, also a 10 point reward for something you've already been rewarded 5 points, for being given the privilege to contribute to this wonderful league is a bit much, imo.

That is the current system

When did we vote on awarding 10 points for article of the year? That's insane.

Maybe this isn't an issue of points, but an issue of how the voting happens. As the newly appointed awards voting coordinator, would it be within my purview to do away with nominations for article of the year and instead just list the qualifying articles for people to rank? Thoughts on that process?

That could be interesting. I kind of like nominating articles though. For Article of the year it seemed that people were eager to nominate other GM's work, which is really nice to see.

I agree...I love seeing people nominate other people's stuff. But there were only 4 articles nominated by 2 people, and points go to the top 4 articles, so I think eager might be a bit of an oversell.

not sure why we don't just run this like all other awards and just do 2 points for the winner.

Yeah why on earth isn't it the same as the others. I'm so confused as to how this came to be.

Mostly because writing articles is time consuming extra work, and having a player on your roster is part of the game itself. It's a way to incentivize trying to write better articles instead of putting up a rush job knowing you'll get the same amount of points either way. Unless we give the media points distributor dictatorial power over determining article quality, which would be a shit-fit disaster, or just be cool with treating all articles the same regardless of quality.

This suggestion has reached the point where I feel we can put it to a vote.
