Yes it's that time of year once again, where system wars comes together and shares a group hug for a week or so. Please make sure you read over the rules before posting and voting, which are very straight forward, and as always have fun and be nice to each other.
Most important of all, please do not use this thread for any discussion relating to the awards. Posts should be voting and voting only to ensure they can be quickly and easily counted up. If you'd like to discuss the awards, which you are more than welcome to, please feel free to use the System Wars Social Lounge conveniently stickied at the top of the page.
Feel free to just read the parts in BLUEfor the rules. The rest is just some explanation for anyone who might wonder why these specific rules are in place.
*1* You must be at least level 7 and have at least 200 posts to vote.This is not intended to exclude anybody, but only to prevent the creation of new accounts to alter the vote. This way we know all the votes are from real members of Gamespot, not alts.
*2* Do not vote for yourself in any category. It's all about recognition and having some fun, so let's try our best to think of other people who deserve a nod.
*3* Don't post on the forums begging for votes. This applies to any board, including the Lounge. If you'd like to campaign to some extent, please do so via your blog and your signature space, but refrain from posting to ask for votes. It's not really in the spirit of what the System Wars Awards are for.
*4* Do not make blank posts or blank lists of categories with the intention of editing in your votes later. Only post when you are ready to cast your votes, as any blank posts may be dealt with as spam.
*5* Do not post any discussion about SWA in this post. Please post all disucssion of the SWA in the Lounge. Posts not containing votes will be deleted.

DISCLAIMER
Just a heads up guys; we reserve the right to discard votes which are clearly silly/stupid/not in the spirit of the game.
We don't want this to be serious business, but a little bit of fun. So for that reason we aren't imposing harsh format rules on people or demanding votes be presented in a certain manner. So feel free to just vote for one or two categories if you're not interested in the full list, or if you only want to give a nod to one user for something specific.
Use common sense though. Stuff like 'meh i cant be bothered voting so i say Ninja-Hippo for everything' isn't going to get counted. We'll put a list of any votes not counted in the results thread and the reason why so everything is above board, and there's really no reason why anybody's votes shouldn't be counted if you post in a reasonable and common sense friendly manner.
Thank you.
