Hey guys, welcome to this new thread. As the name suggests, we will have 2 main types of activities happening here, and those will be the announcement of Ghosting Awards, that I'll explain in a bit, and this will also be a place for Community Polls related to ghosting, where we will hear your opinion about subjects related to the Races forums.
So, first things come first. Let's start explaining the Ghosting Awards idea:
Ghosting Awards:
I was discussing things with people from the FRHD Top 100 Ghosters List team, and I had this cool idea that they all supported. The idea is to create a place where we could give some more recognition (and maybe some prizes) for some ghosts and ghosters, and for racing achievements in the community in general. We don't have the full extent of which kind of awards will be held here, but we had 2 ideas to start things in the right way.
Ghoster of the Month:
The first one was to do the Ghoster of the Month award. Every month, the team (
Sidewalk,
Xenom &
Totoca12 at the moment, with some occasional help from
Calculus) will make a top 3 list of ghosters from the previous month, that will be announced in this thread and then added to the archive in the main post and to the Current Award Winners post (the 2nd post). The idea is that if this becomes a sucess, maybe we can have coin prizes for the first place each month. A variation of this (Ghoster of the Year) could totally be a good thing as well. We will try to have a popular vote version of this every month as well, but we will see how things unfold for this award.
Ghost of the Month:
Similar to the one above, this one would be an award for the best ghost of the month voted by our team. Yeah, we are considering a popular vote version and prizes for this in the future as well. Maybe a top 3 could also be nice. A variation of this (Ghost of the Year) could totally be a thing as well. Let's see how things will work.
So far those are the awards we are planning to do so far. Those awards will probably happen earlier in the month starting next month, but we are still figuring out the exact dates. Also, we are totally open for suggestions for awards related to this forum sections (and maybe others in the future).
Community Polls:
Another idea that we have was to make Community Polls to have a better feedback on what the community might have to suggest about the Races forums. We might extend this to other forums in the future, depending on how well things work here. Some polls might be related to the awards or the top 100 list, the Official Featured Ghosts thread or whatever is considered a good thing to debate here.
So, this post will be more to explain the content of the thread and add new awards, while the 2nd post will contain the current winners from the awards and the name of the current active poll. This main post will also contain an archive with the previous awards winners.
Also, this thread intends to be one that will hear the community's thoughts on subjects related to racing in the game, so feel free to discuss the poll/awards results, or give ideas and suggestions for the those, or even discuss things in general that you would like to see here. For example, you could suggest a "Ghost of the Month" or say who is your pick for Ghoster of the Month, for example in the posts below.
