Räbinä Awards 2015 nominees thread - voting over

Post by Herbal »

Another year has been past, this means that we have again our annual event where we can get our best suits and bowties. Why? Because this is madness Sparta the eighth occasion of Räbinä Awards!

So what is this award thing about at all? This is an election, in which the community decides, who has done in the previous year something extraordinary. To make your job easier, there are several categories, in which you might nominate, and then elect your favourite fellow GR players. These apply for track and car creators, competition managers, commentators, rookies and general community members. Honorary awards are handed by the Räbinä Awards Commitee to two members of the community. One of these goes to someone, who have done an outstanding performance in the previous year. The other honorary award is given to a person, whose memory should be kept alive, and his creations are showing us example in the community.

At the first glance, let us take a look back in time, whom did we think, he is eligible to win the Golden Räbinä this year!

But before you would hurry towards the local dress rental or your tailor, we should also decide, who should be nominated for the Räbinä Awards this year. For this, do not forget to read the rules down there!
Rules of Räbinä Awards 2015:

1. Introduction: Räbinä Awards is annual election of Trackmaker, Carmaker, Competition organizer, Commentator, Rookie and Community member of the year from members of GeneRally community. Räbinä Awards are organized by Räbinäs Awards Committee.

E. One member may nominate up to 7 members for each category.

D. The Committee may decide about awarding a member by Committee Honorary Award. The nomination and election rules aren't applied to this category.
E. Racer of the Year Award is given according to the GeneRally World Ranking results in collaboration of the GWR and the Committee. The nomination and election rules aren't applied to this category.
F. The winner of each category will be awarded by Golden Räbinäs.


If you have have suggestions or you disagree with some part of rules, please say about it in Räbinä Awards discussion thread.

And now a bit seriously: I am kind of worried about the decreasing number of active members, which makes me question, if the Gala should be held for the following years. No worries, this year's awards are not in doubt and I would be still glad to keep this ceremony alive, but if the critical mass would be missing the event, or the nomination list would be too short (taking also the number of active members in considerability), this might be the last gala of the community.

Since I was not that active last year (shame on me), I might ask you, on what is your nomination based. This might happen via PMs, so do not be surprised if I am curious about the idea of your decision.

You're right, Lorenzo, it was a mistake of mine, I've jumped a row while checking the time of topic (and track) releases.

BTW there is still 56 hours until end of nomination phase!

Alright guys, the first part of Räbinä Awards is over. Now comes the election phase, which means that you have approximately 2 weeks to send your votes to Buka via PM. Deadline is for that the 15th February 2016.

EDIT: Of course I have forgotten to mention an important thing to you. You are advised (if you wish) to make a short comment about your decision, why you have decided to elect your favourite in each category, which is going to be public in the envelopes.

Me and Herbal decided to extend the deadline. You still can vote until 23.59 GMT 21/02/2016. The reason is the fact that even me - the so-called organizer - wasn't aware of the election (my bad, I need to visit the forum more often :frying pan: ).

Maybe an extra week will get us more votes. At the moment we have 9 of them - from Trigger Happy, RobertRacer, Marcinho, K5054, marinator, Herbal, Gzehoo, TuomoH, XYY.
