This year will be the first time I get to experiance the wonderous Christmas of VanA'Diel. In memory of the many people that have come and gone (Many great players whom I am still fond of), in honor of all the people who have helped me out in the past, and in thanks to everyone who has helped me get to where I am today in this game I want to give something back to the server.
But then I started thinking why should I restrict this to just the people that have helped me when there are countless people out there who have done one selfless thing or another to benefit another player. It was not easy but it boils down to this.
To honor the most Helpful, Generous and Selfless player on the server. This year on December 24th one player will be receiving 100,000gil in their delivery box. They will also retain the title of The Most Selfless Player on Bismarck.
(I choose to give away this amount due to the fact that I think everyone on the server Japanese or English has bought something from one of my many bazaars at one time or another I know it's not much but hey I'm not a millionaire =.=)
The way this works:
- You cannot nominate yourself to receive this award
- You can only nominate one other player (make yours a good one)
- You cannot retract a prior nomination
- You must provide a description of their selfless act or a
link to a post where their selfless act is posted
- You cannot coerce another player into nominating you (This defeats the purpose)
- The selfless act that you nominate the player for must have been done within this year (there is no way of proving this for a fact so I am asking for honesty and fairness in respect to this)
- Anyone can be nominated and there will be no discrimination based on race, creed, sex, or nationality
- Anyone is eligible regardless of participating in past Promotional Events run by me
- One other person MUST second your nomination
* Due to further clarification needed on the subject of Nominating and Seconding Nominations the following information has been available.
- You as an individual may only nominate one person, however once a person has been nominated you may second that nomination.
- You can second as many nominations as you like.
Please keep in mind it does not elevate the nominees chances of winning all a second nomination does is confirm that said nominated person should indeed be nominated for the reason that they were nominated which is why one 1 nomination and a 2nd is needed for someone to be considered. *12/13/04
Eligibility is open to all players on Bismarck Server.
To ensure fairness the winner will be chosen by a non-biased person who has never played this game (My HAWT neighbor, lol) Therefore it is important that you provide an accurate description of what the selfless act the person performed was.
Think about it this way in the spirit of giving help each other out you never know when you might be recognized for it. Besides we were all newbies once ^^. This promotion ends 12/22/04 to give the Judgette time to reveiw the entries and make a decision. Good Luck to all.
P.S. The OP cannot participate in this so do not nominate.
Please take note that while we are all partial to one player or another the prerequisite for this offer is for someone to nominate someone and for one other person to second that nomination. Not trying to be rude but I don't want this to turn into a popularity contest because it is not. Also please remember that someone who has never played this game will be reading over this thread and deciding who the winner will be. So while it is all well and nice to nominate someone on the premise that they drop whatever they are doing to help someone else, you need to provide an example of what exactly their selfless act was that benifitted others without benefitting themselves. Please remember someone who has never played this game and does not know much about it will be reading the entries here. So please make sure you do describe their act of kindness so that they may be judged on that act. Lets face it anyone can nominate somone and say they are a great person, but it takes a truly great person to do something great. (not trying to single anyone out but Notagalka's post is a prime example of how to accomplish what we are asking) ^^
