-Most Informative Union (That would be the best union that is often updating the frontpage with news, has a good presentation and is always up to the date.) Should we include this or not? For the most part I kinda want to say no and here's why: say a gaming union wins its category for best gaming union, well obviously that union is also probably very informative. This is my view, and want to know what others think, I want to start going through each of these categories and get opinions.

And on another note, the Nerd Hub and the Playback Union are the same place, the Playback Union is the union and the Nerd Hub is what the leader named the message board. :Pmariostar0001
So basically, you might want to change the fourth post to remove the Nerd Hub.

i think we should include it, but change it to "most informative OT union"

since its quite challenging to have one of those, being most OT unions focus on the board. So it would be worth some recognition

Thing is we already have an award for OT/discussion unions. Having two possible OT awards isn't really needed.

In the past they had a best union archive. Do you think if we kept it then that would work the same? I'm trying to argue all points here to see which is the best option.

What do you mean? During the nomination one person could nominate a certain union for one thing and different person nominate it for something else, although a union can only win one award to keep things fair. If not then it would be possible for some unions to win several awards.

Would you say the two are about the same? If they are then we could just leave it, since that would work. Also there's the matter on political/religious/philosophy unions, where could we include them?

yeah, the 2 are about the same. so just leave it.

i think the political and religious type unions and stuff should be excluded, cuz it would lead to trouble with like "they only won cuz the ppl who voted were that religion/political party!"

Or that too.:P But I see only one category kind of weird. Maybe like sub categories too as well so unions are given a second chance. A nintendo union might be a good union but a sub category for "best nintendo editorials" would be great for a second chance for other nintendo unions, because some unions exceed better than the same type of unions in specific skills. Such as organization, appeal, activity.

Then we could have the most active union, and things like that.

I kinda want to do that although like optiow said the other day, those unions want to also be included. We could include them in a category however, like in the past the sports category was sports/special interest. I know they can't compete in best OT/Discussion since there are several big OT unions and the competition is really high usually.

Problem is remember, when it comes time for the people working on this to count votes and do the presentation it's a lot of work. You have to take into account that those involved have a ton of work, and even adding one extra category is a lot of work when counting hundreds of votes and separating everything.

well, thats another matter entirely. I think the awards and stuff will be here, so julian and the officer can get rid of any spam in a wink. The oppinions and thoughts will still be there. It will make a silent and non eraseble black mark for us if that happens

New idea/issue: Just now thought, will best gaming union be good or should we do Console and Game Specific categories? There are a lot of Nintendo unions out there, but at the same time there exists unions that are dedicated to a single game series.

The SCU can handle anything, we we'll be fine. ;) No need to worry about issues like that, the main worry is spreading word and setting this up right now.

Consoles would be easier. But imo I'd go with with the big 3, nintendo, microsoft, and sony.

Game Categories would be fun. But its harder.

game categories would be too much, and most ppl wouldnt read it. we'll stick 2 consoles, and maybe do one on best game dedicated union.

No I mean having one set for general games and another category that's game specific. For example AONU would be general games, while a union like Ratchet and Clank Union is game specific.

Most Dedicated Union (this would include all the work put inside of it to make it successful, the base of the officers, how the union is handled, etc. Union size doesn't matter!). What is everyone's opinion on this category? Of all the categories this is the one I'm most unsure of, but at the same time like.

I like it, I'm in a lot of small unions that really put a lot of work into what they have despite a lower population then some. And then there are a few that are huge and just rely on having a few hundred people to make conversation with no goal or anything. Not many, but a few.

I like it but I don't like it. :P The main problem I see is that this category out of all of them would be the only one to really require an explanation to what it is. I love the fact however that it is talking about smaller unions and how everything works together.

Do it has Best Community help union since there are unions based solely on helping the folk of GS in some way.

We've already got Best Community Assistance union. ;) We decided on keeping most informative, although it'll be more based I think towards gaming information and news.
