Hey guys, it's almost that time again. OTcars are upon us. For those who don't know, the OTcars is an award ceremony celebrating the users who make Off-Topic good, bad, and everything in between. Last year, enormousaxie hosted them and the year before that was whos_next000.

Let's start with what we need.
-A Gracious Host (Master of Ceremonies)
- A couple of Tallyers
-A date (last year they happened around February-March I think)

If you're interested in being a host or tallyer, please PM me or reply below. But please, make sure you don't get suspended when it starts. Once your the host, I'm leaving all responsibility to you. You're in charge of organizing and communicating and leading the tallyers. This is a lot of work, so before you sign up for the job make sure that you're willing to put the time and effort into making the OTcars happen this year. Tallyers, you have a lot of hard work also and you need to be honest.

Here's the usual time it takes. This may change depending on how long the tallying takes.

* Two weeks of nominations
* Two weeks for the voting process

I'll update this as needed.

Hmm yeah. As LJS said, 'user who should post more'. I don't know if I'll win anything, there's a bunch of pretty formidable opponents.

I have yet to be wrong when I figure out a ban dodger I'll have you know. Anyway, he insulted my character so he is not one of my favorite users. Plus, he tries for attention.

They should make it so everyone wins also. We wouldn't want anyone feeling excluded.

Impossible though. To not exclude anyone would mean no awards TBH. They do exclude people. I've always tried to vote for those that deserve it...not the current flavor of the month but someone who contributed to OT positively over the last year. Not someone who posted OT threads in November and December to get noticed.
