Boolprop

I would love to have this again!

That being said, if the event does run this year I'll most likely just stay away from it.

Pah! What sort of awards would it be without some attempts at rigging, blatant ballot stuffing and tactical voting and all the arguments that go with it?

It's all just a laugh anyway, but people may well vote for friends over and above more deserving candidates because that's human nature. Years ago I used to be involved in the now moribund postal gaming circuit, which had all sorts of awards and arguments over the nominations and even what methodology was used to calculate the results, but that was part of the fun of it, same as with seeing who wins the Oscars or whatever and shouting "what? that load of old cobblers?" at the telly. Part of the fun of ballots is the uncertainly as to how many will go for head over heart in who to vote for.

If you win again and anyone starts moaning about the results, treat it as water off Palmer's back!

I haven't been here this long can someone please explain what it is?

It's like the Oscars or the Golden Globes: there are nominees in many many categories (Best Current Sims 2 Legacy, Best Current Sims 3 Legacy, Most Helpful Member, Best Username, and so on) and you vote for who you think is best. Winner gets bragging rights.

On the old forum, winners also got a medal, but there aren't any medals on this forum. There's been talk of winners being featured in the planned Boolprop online magazine, but nothing's finalized yet.

What I liked about this was seeing what was out there that I might not have heard of before, because there are links to all the stories. And it's nice to see members get recognition for being helpful and friendly, too.

I liked this last time, but I'd like it even more now that I'm not obsessed over medals xD It was life or death last time, now it is just fun

Okay. I'm new here. I've heard of this, but not much... can someone explain and let me know when/if we're doing this?

Edit: Oh! I'm an idiot, didn't see the above posts...So now I know what it is at least

I believe nominations are still open -- check out this post.

I'm not sure how much longer nominations will be open, so you should probably get your submissions in soon if you want to nominate anyone.
