Woohoo! I got some of my votes in. I'll wait until some others vote in biology so it's not as obvious when I vote for myself. :rofl: I can't really vote on some since I don't inhabit those forums enough to know who does what there. And some are really tough choices! Don't feel bad anyone if I didn't vote for you, there are a LOT of close seconds in this race!

LOL! That's the advantage of being a biologist on a physics board. :biggrin: That, and trading votes with the people I'm running against in other categories. :wink: Last I checked, nobody thinks I'm funny. :cry: Then again, look who I'm running against there. I never had a chance. :rolleyes:

ah, i didn't get nominated for anything... i suck... oh well I guess I will have to be better. hahaha that's always a good goal, be better.

Also how come mentors aren't up there... for example selfAdjoint deserves much praise for his help.

I am guessing these polls are just for fun then. :cool:

Because we know they'd win out all the categories :smile:

Send selfAdjoint a PM, he'll appreciate it.

Last year, we gave the winners special avatars (e.g., "physics expert 2003")

Tie?

Hasn't really been an issue so far.

Are write-in candidates allowed? Any elgibility requirements?

The mentors/admins make the nominations. No other special requirements. No write-ins, but you might be able to convince one of the admins to add another name.

Any voting requirements?

Vote once per category. You don't have to vote in each category if you don't want to. Have fun.

Did I just ask too many questions?

Well, now you did. :wink:

I sort of like my avatar though. (assuming I win anything) Perhaps a little award thing like the 'homework helper' or 'science expert' award such as a '2004 guru award' might be better... and we can collect those and have like '2004,2005,2007 guru' ?
and then we'll have to explain why we did such a crappy job in 2006... :confused:
woosh!

Well, as long as you get a NOMINATION in 2006, all is fine, or what?

Absolutely. For the small fee of US$25, you can even put it in your signature line. :biggrin:

It's a pity there's no Homework Helper Award, considering that is one of the important functions of PF. And while that doesn't win you popularity among regular members, it is surely worthy of recognition.

Aren't you nominated for enough awards already? Do you need yet another one to compete in? :biggrin:
