Once again, the Favorite Member Contest comes to DiabloFans to let each and every member have input on the favorite member across the entire community! The contest starts with the last month of the year so that we can nominate members based on our interactions with them for the entirety of this previous year. The final poll winner and two runner-ups will be added to the DiabloFans' Hall of Champions and the first place winner of the final poll will receive a custom title on the board.
The festivities will start with the nomination thread (this thread), where members nominate other members to be chosen as the contestants for the final poll, which will be posted this coming January. There are some minor and not-so-minor changes from the proceedings of late, and there are a few new or altered rules from last time around. Hopefully every stipulation in place will act as a refiner for maximum competition and fair play.
Please be sure to read the rules in their entirety. I will not be re-explaining them every single page- I will simply delete posts. If you know your post has been deleted, read over the rules again here, as you probably broke one.
The OP will be updated every day with the most recent nomination standings.
You may not nominate yourself (to encourage consideration of other users).
You may not nominate Managers (Daemaro, Seth, Phrozendragon), Perma-Banned members, or Administrators.
You have two nominations to hand out. You may give them all to one person or spread them out however you choose.
Please do not comment on others' nominations in this thread (to simplify it for me when I'm checking these posts to update this post with the latest nominations and to avoid possible trolling/flaming).
You must include a somewhat well thought out reason why you nominated your individual- we don't want nominations simply because someone "iz teh L0lz".
Only the top ten nominees will be chosen (see [thread link="COS"]here[/thread link] for more on the Cut-Off System).
You may "campaign" about the forums, but do so in appropriate places- your signature, avatar, blog, or the Ultimate Random Thread.
Nominations will end at 11:59 PM EST December 31, 2009.
You may not change any of your nominations unless a/the member(s) you nominated was/were disqualified for any reason.
Green: Member had sufficient nominations (requirement is at least 2) and/ or recieved them chronologically before the member under them. Listed from highest to lowest.
Blue: Member had sufficient nominations (requirement is at least 2), but did not make the cut off, since they received their nominations chronologically after the last person on the cut off list.
Red: Member did not meet the nomination requirement.
The final top ten nominated members will be posted in a poll, and that will be what's voted on. Giving certain members already nominated more nominations could 1) boost the member in to qualifying nomination territory, 2) push the member above another and reduce the chance of the member being cut off, and 3) give the member a higher spot visually on the final poll, which could affect if they're voted for or not.
Azriel, he's pretty cool for whatever his age is, and he's a satanist, that's a good thing in my book.
Entropy, for being a productive new member. OK maybe not so new now but newer than others...
And they both post in my favorite thread. :thumbsup:
Mephisto's Lament- Probably one of the realest guys around. He somehow speaks his mind without getting flamed. It is utterly over my head.
Equinox- Something about her posts...Sometimes they R dA LulZ, sometimes they put people in their place, and sometimes they are crazy(those are my fav).
Good idea, I want to make an honorable mention too!
Honorable mentions from me go to:
Turmobil, Kenzai, and Party_foul-You guys rock the spam section hard!
Murderface, Magistrate, and Donsro- I always read what you guys have to say.
I hate picking

Yeah I was under the impression any staff member couldn't be nominated. While I appreciate Murder's nomination, I'd much rather be off the list and just be a spectator to the election.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Wow, thanks Murder, but I will have to remove my name as well.
I would rather not be included in the poll.

Seriously though, I just like they way they post and all that.
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
Stormcat, for being the best damn barkeep around.

Siaynoq's Playthroughs
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Which would lead us to assume moderators can in fact be nominated, just as sysops and news reporters.
I think the change is due to the massive staff increase we've had lately.
But it brings up another question. Can a user exit the competition if he wishes to (Siaynoq)? I'm fairly sure Seth can clarify this for us.
I will also hold my nominations for a while.
I would rather not be included in the poll.
Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
