Ok. I guess that helps my chance at being nominated.

Essentially yes. We have an initial nominations phase where we collect who yall nominated to have a chance of being in the final vote. In the final vote, participants vote for the best of whatever category.

Do you go to someone and say: I wanna run for best Fanartist or so you do something different?

Definitely not a Discord exclusive event. You just need to be a member of the Gimkit Community to participate. As of now this means the Wix, Forums, and Discord. If you’re in one of those groups you won’t be missing out! We’ll make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to get nominated and win in the awards. We’ll also strive to make this years Gimkit Awards are as accessible and inclusive as possible.

Great! For a second I thought I was doo.med.

As long as your campaign doesn’t violate any rules in the group you’re in, feel free to campaign all you want.

Do I make posters? And what campaign are you talking about?

Isn’t advertising not allowed, or is that just for GKC-related maps?

As I’ve said, as long as your campaign doesn’t violate the rules, you can campaign all you want. Since you’re not allowed to advertise here on the forums, your campaign here may not be as effective compared to the more lenient nature of the Discord.

How do you plan to prevent cheating? (e.g. temp emails to have more votes)
@Unstable since the flags aren’t cleared, then it’ll keep closing, you’ll need a moderator (twofoursixeight) to review the flags for it to open again.

mmm, Blackjack for president-

wait no wrong campaign

This is a thing we’re currently attempting to address. A potential solution is that it’s required to provide your username to vote or something. We don’t really have a solution though because it’s just almost impossible to figure out an anonymous and secure voting system lol.

I was thinking that one way would be to use the site Josh used for Mode Madness that makes it so only one person per IP can vote.

This is also one of the potential solutions we’re considering but just like the other solutions we’ve discussed, there are downsides. We will be finished weighing the positives and cons by the time February arrives though.

Oh and for the creative maps, do they have to be community picks?

We will have to wait until what categories we decide. As of now, as long as the map can fit the category, it can be nominated.

Uh definitely not phone numbers. That’s way too far.
The email thing might be fine.

Nope, still closed.
