MISAOS - GETTING THE WORD OUT

[center][url=http://www.rpgmaker.net/misaos/][img][url]http://kentona.rpgmaker.net/av/misao.png[/url][/img][/url][/center]

As of 12:01am on February 17th, 2009, the 2008 Misaos Awards are active. Most of you probably think you know the drill, but we're doing things a little differently this time around. Some key things to take note of:

- Category nominations this year are fixed. That is, they were pre-determined by rpgmaker.net with feedback from our users. Hopefully this will allow for a more consistent process from  year to year. However, our web application hasn't changed.

- As a reminder, [b]only games that were actually released during the 2008 calendar year are eligible[/b]. Games that were released in the years previous are ineligible, unless they had a re-release with a substantial amount of content changes and/or bugfixes. Games released in the 2009 calendar year are also ineligible unless they had a prior release in the 2008 calendar year. For a fairly comprehensive listing of 2008 games, visit here: [url=http://www.rpgmaker.net/forums/index.php?topic=3067.0][url]http://www.rpgmaker.net/forums/index.php?topic=3067.0[/url][/url] or here: [url=http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=77910.0][url]http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=77910.0[/url][/url]

- rpgmaker.net will be actively monitoring the nomination and voting processes. Any attempts to game the system, whether by outright cheating or "poll flooding" will result in disciplinary action up to and including permanent bans for the users involved and their game being rendered ineligible for the Misaos. One person, one vote, no groupthink. We will not be terribly lenient with this.

- You cannot nominate or vote for your own project.


The timeline for the remaining processes should each last one week and are as follows:

- Game nominations will run from 12:01am on [b]February 18th, 2009 through February 24th, 2009.[/b]

- Game voting will run from 12:01am on [b]February 25th, 2009 through March 3rd, 2009[/b].

- The official results will be tallied and announced the following week.

Get nominatin' and spread the word!
