A couple of updates from our survey into the Episode Awards:

[INDENT][b]1. Do you like the current Awards format?[/b]
[INDENT]-The majority voted 'Yes'.[/INDENT]
[b]2. Would you like to see categories repeated, or new ones each episode?[/b]
[INDENT]-It was almost unanimous that you wanted 'A Mix of Both' new and old awards.
-Based on the submission of one player, we're going to start trialling 'Core Awards' and 'Rotating' Awards.
-The 'Core Awards' will be 'Best Post (Solo)', 'Best Post (Collab)' and 'Best Dynamic'
-Rotating Rewards will vary from episode to episode.[/INDENT]
[b]3. Would you like to see more specific voting Options (ie nominated posts to vote between for Best Post versus voting from the whole episode, or specific characters nominated)?[/b]
[INDENT]-The results were nearly split down the middle.
-We will be looking at how we could potentially introduce a nomination system before voting but we're not promising that this will be implemented for the Episode 3 Awards. As it currently stands, it takes a minimum of a week to get votes from players and put together the Awards. We're not looking to lengthen that process but we do hear your opinion and are exploring options for nominated characters, particularly for Awards that extend to all posts.[/INDENT]
[b]4. Should there be an award for everyone in each Episode?[/b]
[INDENT]-The majority ultimately voted 'No, the Awards need to be fully subjective.'
-That said, many people made comments indicating their enjoyment of the Webby's format and the desire to see [@webboysurf] continue to create his awards. The GMs would like to once again thank Web for the hard work he puts into producing his own awards and once again encourage those who like that format to replicate it in their own way.[/INDENT]
[b]5. Do you think the Awards are actually encouraging to the game overall?[/b]
[INDENT]-The majority voted 'Yes, I love seeing people get recognition for their work'[/INDENT]
[b]6. Do you think the GMs should run the Awards?[/b]
[INDENT]-You unanimously voted 'Yes'[/indent]
[b]7. Do you think we should continue Awards?[/b]
[INDENT]-You again unanimously voted 'Yes'[/indent][/indent]

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to fill out the survey and we look forward to unveiling the Episode 3 Award categories for everyone and celebrating the end of another episode with the next round of Awards.
