Hello, YCM! After a bit of a delay, the now-seasonal YCM Awards are back, and we're looking for council members! (Third time's the charm for posting this thing.) Before we start, for anyone who's unfamiliar...

 

[spoiler=Here's a recap, provided by Opal from the last awards.]The first edition of the "YCM Awards" dates back to the 7 May 2007. At that time BS created and hosted the very first version which included a points system and 5 categories to vote in. Best Overall Member, Card Maker, New Member (Only been here for about a month), Nicest and Worst Member (which created some controversy and got removed later on).

 

5 months later, Johanderson posted a slightly different version of the Awards which was set to be run every 3 months. The September 2007 Awards included a revamp of the categories as well as a removal of the points system and each section had a different host who members could send their votes too. However this system didn't prevail for a very long time as it proved to become confusing, so a simpler method was suggested by Deity Mitsu.

In another thread made soon after, which served as a discussion topic and recap of all the winners so far, Frunk became the first to suggest the creation of a Council to manage the Awards, which were rapidly gaining popularity.[/quote made by Frunk himself]

 

This marked the "birth" of the Council.

 

From September 2007 to March 2008 the Awards were held among that line, with the exception of November 2007.

 

In April 2008 the forum saw the emergence of a new system which consisted of dividing the different categories into different sections on the site (for example, there was a separate Custom Cards voting thread in the CC section).

 

After that, the initial Council basically broke up, seeing that some of the old members left and at that point the Awards seemed to be set on ice.

One month later however, Omegawave (now known as Obsidian or -The Dark Master-) revived the Awards by himself, but with many of the old members having left and a new "generation" settling on YCM, it became clear that a new, slightly adjusted system was needed in order to go with the new era. The May 2008 Awards became quite a success, however they were also the last attempt by Omegawave to host them.

 

3 months passed and in August 2008, a person named ~Raven~, who remembered the Awards and wanted to see them back, decided to contact the former Council members and, seeing that some of them replied, the Awards saw their rebirth with a new Council and a nomination system, which was also used in some of the older editions.

 

From then on, the forum saw many new editions of the Awards, the last one known up to this date being the Midsummer Awards hosted by Umbra.

 

At that point a consensus was made about running bi-annual Awards since the whole thing taking place every month had become too close and predictable. However, as of lately, people have been asking to set a new frequency scheme since bringing them back every 6 months only would cause the Awards to become a past event people would forget about.

 

In that sense a new poll was made about how frequently the awards should take place.

So please vote, thanks.

 

.

So, what exactly does everyone do? Well...

 

Host - They post the threads and the results, and make sure that everything runs well. It'll probably end up being me. xD

 

Co-Host - They'll fill in, in case the host can't make it. Will probably be another moderator.

 

Council - This consists of 6-8 members, split between newbies and veterans, who count the votes, give out +reps for awards, and discuss rule changes if needed.

 

Graphic-Maker - Basically a council member, but they also make small graphic pieces for the winners of each awards and possibly ads to go in sigs.

Finally, here's a list of everyone who's served as a council member before. Note that if you're on here, we might pass you over for someone who hasn't done it before. (But don't let that stop you from applying.)
