Boyah Forums

Here are the 12 I wish to add to our current 32:

QuoteEmote of the Year   - 4 (2.4%)

The Roller Coaster of Quota Award for Most Inconsistent Activity   - 4 (2.4%)

Most Diligent Noposter   - 4 (2.4%)

Split "Best New Meme" into "Best New Boyah Meme" and "Best New Non-Boyah Meme"   - 4 (2.4%)

Cutest Boyah Couple   - 3 (1.8%)

Best Current Username   - 3 (1.8%)

Most Argumentative   - 3 (1.8%)

Most Stressed Out   - 2 (1.2%)

Deadliest Boyager   - 3 (1.8%)

Manliest Boyager   - 4 (2.4%)

Most Feminine Boyager   - 2 (1.2%)

Worst Attempt at Being Funny   - 4 (2.4%)

My reasoning is as follows:

1. Most of these are, in my opinion, good categories, with non-obvious winners. They are the most popular of the reasonable category nominations behind the 10 that have already been added to the pre-selected 22.

2. The staff alone decided on a full 22 pre-selected awards (~69%), leaving the rest of Boyah to nominate just 10 awards (~31%). I argue that all of non-staff Boyah deserves a more even say than that. I believe 22:22 would be more fair, and that would bring us up to 44.

3. There are valid reasons for culling the number of categories this year, but I personally think that as few as 30 is simply too extreme. We have never nearly had so few categories in the history of the Boyah awards. Even 44 would be on the low end.

4. I alone will assume all addition work associated with the extra 12 awards if need be.

Videographers, consider whether you can handle an additional ~3 awards per video (about 8.8 categories/video vs. about 6).

I expressly forbid the deletion or modification of this topic by any other staff members. Anyone who disagrees with the existence of this poll or any conclusions that may be reached within it may voice their concerns here.

As we are pressed for time, it is of critical importance that we get as many votes as possible as quickly as possible on this matter. This poll will remain open for no more than 32 hours.

I don't know why 30 seems so small to you goonish

And I don't quite understand why 30 is your hard limit. Like I said, it seems like an arbitrary cap.

I've wanted to keep the awards slimmed down this year, and feel that 44 especially is needlessly large. I find that the 32 awards we have would make for a better video. You're forgetting in your math that 10 nominated categories made the cut due to a tie. Also, you are only picking awards you want here, which is unfair. The 12 categories that would be added if any would be the following:

Most Likely to Have Their Pants Pulled Down and Their Bare Bottom Spanked
Shaq-Fu Award for Least Necessary Boyah Revival
Least Anime
Most Lost Boyager
Most Likely to Fart Into Their Own Hand and then Smell Their Hand
Emote of the Year
The Roller Coaster of Quota Award for Most Inconsistent Activity
Most Diligent Noposter
Split "Best New Meme" into two awards: "Best Boyah Meme" and "Best New Non-Boyah Meme"
Manliest Boyager
Worst Attempt at Being Funny
Best Boyah Meetup

These all have at least 4 votes, which is a really low threshold. Picking categories that only two or people voted for because you want them would be the same as the pre-selecting I did, which negates your whole point about letting the rest of Boyah choose. If the poll ends up in your favor, I don't see why it wouldn't be the 12 I mentioned.
Also if we're talking an arbitrary cap, how is 44 any different? Why not choose ones that received at least 5 votes, leaving us to add:

Most Likely to Have Their Pants Pulled Down and Their Bare Bottom Spanked
Shaq-Fu Award for Least Necessary Boyah Revival
Least Anime
Most Lost Boyager
Most Likely to Fart Into Their Own Hand and then Smell Their Hand

for a total of 37 awards.


Again, you're the only person to complain about this, though if anyone else has an issue with a limit of 32, or having 22 of those pre-selected, this would be the time and place to do so.

In fact, with those you've selected it would still be ~64% staff-selected, while at least with the 12 I posted it would be 50/50

the users at least had some input in choosing the ones i'm making an effort to save

5/12 of these are in my curated list

and my curated list excludes the other 7 because they are, for the most part, either redundant or imo unreasonable

honestly, i would add even more

i have restrained myself to 44 because you insist on minimizing the awards

but 32, with 22 decided by one person, is simply too few

i did not create most of those 12 awards myself

ten of them were nominated by the users

only two of them were nominated by me

i merely elected to save the ones that seem, in my opinion, most reasonable

Quote from: Majorana's Mask on June 24, 2017, 11:48:38 PM

is that supposed to be a good number? I guarantee the vast majority of those I pre-selected would end up in the awards anyway, which is why I pre-selected them. I did it so we're not wasting time on nominating things like Best Boyager. In fact, the list was created based entirely on awards that were nominated or made the cut in previous years. You're making it out as if I just picked a bunch I wanted because I wanted them, when that largely is not the case.

the only one I have any problem with is "Most Lost" because it is redundant. The rest are fine.

which is why I gave more time, per your suggestion. However, I can't keep postponing things as we have deadlines for a reason. I am not going to let the Boyah Awards take 5 months under my watch.

Quote from: Majorana's Mask on June 24, 2017, 11:48:38 PM

no, because you had plenty of opportunities to vote, and chose not to. I included two of your votes anyway, when I shouldn't have to.

let me reword my previous post: i was not the sole decision maker on any but 2 of those 12

those 22, however, did have one sole decision maker

i take no issue with that, you are our only volunteer mod

but i do think your 22 vs. everyone else's 10 is 1. too few and 2. overwhelmingly one-sided

Idk I would kind of like more categories to vote on yeah

A lot of those categories kind of suck tho ig. Idk is be fine with adding 10 or even just 5. Or zero. Whatever. I wanted to nominate thyme for something cuz he's cool af but I can't find a category atm

and i'm not at all suggesting that you do this, we do indeed have finite time

i am only suggesting that the total number of categories be expanded

i now finally understand your point here

if i had to guess, it's because nobody felt they had any right to question your authority as the sole volunteer mod

i would argue that everyone has a right to voice their say, within reason, on the boyah awards

precisely because they are the boyah awards

they should not have to be overwhelmingly under the control of a single person

but nobody wanted to do them so Hiro does have the final say as far as I'm concerned. If his decisions aren't optimal that's okay because he's actually done a really good job imo as far as moving things along and trying to create the awards in his own vision. If we believe there to be any shortcomings we can always amend them in 2018

Idk I don't want to subvert democracy. I may think a number of the most suggested categories are dumb but if that's what boyah wants who am I to suggest otherwise.

actually, i advocated for this idea

and if you recall, it was agreed upon that we'd need three volunteer mods in order to proceed with it, because we wanted an even distribution of responsibility so that no one person would have to take on all the work

i waived that requirement at hiro's insistence, but the fact that he ended up being the sole volunteer mod doesn't make him the ultimate authority on the awards

overall, i agree that hiro has done a great job

but i disagree on this particular matter

as the server issues are already having a direct effect on the accuracy of the poll, i may be forced to extend it beyond 32 hours if it continues for long

and for those of you reading the thread through the "most recent posts" function: if you can't vote, simply post "yes" or "no"

well since you're not participating in the awards staff I'd say you have as much of a voice as anyone else, by which I mean feel free to express your feelings/concerns

that's not really a strawman lol

it's a guess

a strawman would be me taking a known argument, simplifying it in an obvious way, and then attempting to defeat that simplified argument

you can accuse my speculation of being wild or exaggerated, but i don't see why it would be strawmanning lol

well originally Hiro just wanted to do it by himself and then you threw in those rules and such idk that anyone really agreed to it

But yeah it's working now so I'll vote I suppose

you make it sound as if i'm spontaneously imposing arbitrary limitations on hiro's power lol befuddlement

because there was so much resistance/so little enthusiasm regarding hiro's original proposal (and the awards in general), on may 19 (a full 20 days before the 2017 awards had been formally launched) i stipulated that there must be at least two other volunteers so that no one member would bear the bulk of the burden

and because a trio of mods would serve as insurance should one of them fail to perform

and because three users would be better representative of the userbase as a whole than one user

i wanted a nice, even distribution of power/responsibility

see:

Quote from: Majorana's Mask on May 19, 2017, 01:01:25 PM
well some input from david would be nice but he seems to have become quite busy lately lol :'(

what's the alternative if not to allow hiro and other volunteers to handle it, though

like i said, i'll take an advisory but mostly hands-off approach and assist with planning (other mods can help but aren't obligated to), but it will be hiro and whoever else actually initiating the awards and doing the surveying/polling

my primary criteria for launching this (aside from admin approval) is that there must be at least two or three non-mod volunteers other than hiro; if no other standard members express any serious interest in contributing then we'll almost certainly get nowhere

Quote from: Khadafi on May 19, 2017, 11:23:35 AM
We changed that last time and look wot happen

[spoiler]

i myself wasn't here last time so i missed out on this lol >.<[/spoiler]

but i can imagine, like always, either it was delayed for months or the videos took forever or were never even finished

none of the forum staff objected to this

i eventually waived that stipulation after hiro's insistence

here is the pm i sent to jmv on june 7 after agreeing with hiro that we could proceed with just one volunteer:

Quote from: Majorana's Mask on June 07, 2017, 08:31:04 PM
awards board w/ hiro as local mod y/n

literally who cares what happens, he's the only one who's expressed any interest in doing the awards so we have absolutely nothing to lose lol

jmv created the awards board two days later

finally, there is one other boundary i imposed:

Quote from: Majorana's Mask on May 31, 2017, 05:12:49 PM
well i'm waiting for you to formally volunteer lol

and no, my role will be minimal for the most part

i'm just getting the process started, but after that it'll be the volunteers doing the bulk of the work (provided we actually manage to get enough)

as in, if we did not get enough volunteers, then i would step in and fill the gap

note that this condition was implemented on may 4th, over a month before the awards were launched

and this condition has not been and will not be waived

tl;dr: none of these rules is either arbitrary or new, and hiro was never intended to become the sole/ultimate authority on the 2017 awards

and thank you for doing your civic duty girl;

poll's over

i wish we had a larger sample size than just 6 but it seems the yes vote won

now let's quickly discuss which 12 awards we'd like to add, it doesn't necessarily have to be the ones i selected

which, as a reminder, are these:

QuoteEmote of the Year   - 4 (2.4%)

The Roller Coaster of Quota Award for Most Inconsistent Activity   - 4 (2.4%)

Most Diligent Noposter   - 4 (2.4%)

Split "Best New Meme" into "Best New Boyah Meme" and "Best New Non-Boyah Meme"   - 4 (2.4%)

Cutest Boyah Couple   - 3 (1.8%)

Best Current Username   - 3 (1.8%)

Most Argumentative   - 3 (1.8%)

Most Stressed Out   - 2 (1.2%)

Deadliest Boyager   - 3 (1.8%)

Manliest Boyager   - 4 (2.4%)

Most Feminine Boyager   - 2 (1.2%)

Worst Attempt at Being Funny   - 4 (2.4%)

although there are some on this list that i will insist we keep

are there any you'd like to see added that aren't already on the list of 12 y/n

These 3:

Least Anime
Best Current Username
Most Argumentative

Are the only ones that I'd vote for. Whatever the other 7 or 9 are I don't care rly

Least Anime is good too but only if Most Anime (or just Biggest Weeb or something) is a thing

I didn't suggest that because we've done it and it's played out.

I suppose now we have more contenders between feyd kaz Joice and Blu though so maybe it would be more fun now yeah I could see that weebdood; I suppose even if a non-anime fan seemed like an anime type character they could fit

joice is hardly anime at all

but i agree with ypr: i prefer least anime to most anime because least anime is novel

but yeah as soon as i made an account on boyah 6 years ago i forgot my login info and forgot that this place existed until it was brought up on outsid last year. then i found out boyah had lots more activity than outsid so i started posting here more often.

pls stay forever i need more people here who are into weeb shit like i am

ye of course giggle; i am not a very gud weeb tho

but maybe that was intended to be ironic and i took it too literally

but the other three obvious contenders for "most anime" are huge weebs lol

Oh i guess but I feel like Joice tries the hardest to look kawaii and such and to me that is anime even if she's not a very good weeb

I wouldn't vote for her for weeb y/n

i feel like that's just japanese girl culture though lol

anime may be an element of japanese culture but japanese culture isn't anime

Oh i guess but I feel like Joice tries the hardest to look kawaii and such and to me that is anime even if she's not a very good weeb

I wouldn't vote for her for weeb y/n

i feel like that's just japanese girl culture though lol

anime may be an element of japanese culture but japanese culture isn't anime

come to think of it, girls generally try to look kawaii in some sense, in whatever their own local language is, everywhere sillydood;

Idk you can't get much more anime than some of joices pictures in the picture thread.

Well duh but modern Japanese culture marketed towards girls is very anime. You don't need to explain to me how culture works  hocuspocus;

i guess when i think of "anime" i think of literally anime and not the cultural side-effects of anime

and admittedly, i haven't seen much of what she might post in the picture thread lol

add like...

"boyager most likely to smell like milk"
lol inspired by lawlz ffrom a past post

umm what else

umm boyager unlikely to drop an argument and b a heug bitch heh
boyager that most likely barks at dogs when they walk past a dog
boyager who can prob use their own advice more than the advice it's towards
boyager who is still single but only because they're gay or smoke weed
gayest boyager

best felt post

is it mere coincidence that pretty much all of these apply to [glow=black,2,300]me[/glow] akudood;

well aside form the barking one, i hope

anyway, if anyone else likes any of mib's suggestions, i'll add a few of them

Most Argumentative is too similar to Whiniest Boyager imo

does anyone else agree with this y/n

this is the final day to make any suggestions/adjustments to the additional 12 categories so plz speak now or forever hold your peace

Idk I feel like they're different like whiny is  saddood; where argumentative is  >_<'

Id vote feyd for argumentative but not for whiny for example

i agree, whiny and argumentative are different enough to be separate categories imo

are there any among the 12 that we should swap out for something else

because we are pressed for time, and because few real changes have been proposed, the 12 will be going up at some point today

nominations for those particular 12 will be open for 9 days, probably with a delay or two as needed to compensate for the servers

please note that there are now two 'best new meme' awards: best new boyah meme, and best new non-boyah meme

No least anime? Lame

why even ask for opinions if you're just going to ignore them

You picked several categories with 2-3 votes, who's going to care? Should have at least picked next 12 with the most received votes from the original poll

we can correct that if indeed there were popular suggestions that i might have missed

and do you really want awards like

Quote

Most Likely to Have Their Pants Pulled Down and Their Bare Bottom Spanked

Shaq-Fu Award for Least Necessary Boyah Revival

Most Likely to Fart Into Their Own Hand and then Smell Their Hand

because after the original 8 winners, those were the most popular ones that i decided against including

we can certainly do this one, but hiro will probably scream about it increasing the category count +1, bringing the total to 45

i remain open to further suggestions, let me know if i missed anything else

ummm i need some time before i can nominate ppl in threads how long will this be until i cant nom

I guess the category suggestions in general kind of sucked. But hey that's how democracy works sometimes shit wins!

Tbh I'm happy with least anime being added that's really all I cared about :O

but our awards system is always based upon a democratic system with the exception of rn lol

because hiro insisted on greatly culling the awards back this year, i couldn't make it too democratic without stepping on his toes even more than i already have lol

so i compromised

but honestly i would have liked more than what we have, even at 45 this is still out smallest boyah awards ever

Ignoring the votes of other users when adding categories Hiro didn't want added in the first place isn't really a compromise girl;

I mean i don't care but I'm not going to pretend to swallow that fib n_u

so what would you have preferred i do befuddlement

what would you have done

and what part of my post is a fib huhdoodame;

That it's a compromise when it compromises nothing?

I would have done nothing because it's hiros awards but you can do what you want I'm just pointing out inaccuracies ig

let's start from the beginning

Quote from: ƕɾο on June 24, 2017, 11:34:10 PM
I've wanted to keep the awards slimmed down this year, and feel that 44 especially is needlessly large.

i disagreed, but i recognized that it would be unfair to act alone as hiro is a mod, so i asked boyah in a poll whether they wanted to expand the boyah awards

the sample size was small, but the option in favor expansion was the clear victor

Quote from: YPargh on June 25, 2017, 12:17:46 AM
Idk I would kind of like more categories to vote on yeah

you yourself agreed in wanting more

then i decided against including certain unreasonable awards, and again, you explicitly agreed with this decision

because after the original 8 winners, those were the most popular ones that i decided against including

No I don't

so it's a clear compromise between giving hiro complete control, and giving boyah complete control

unfortunately compromising can create the illusion of mutual loss, which i think is what has happened here, but yeah, i most certainly did what i could to take all opinions into consideration, including hiro's, my own, yours, and boyah's

and once again, it's not "hiro's awards", it was never meant to be exclusively "hiro's awards", i addressed this extensively in a previous post: http://boyah.net/forums/index.php/topic,69184.msg1550386.html#msg1550386

i'm not seeing how any part of my posts here could be interpreted as a fib

Tec decides it's not just hiros awards
Tec decides there should be more categories
Tec decides it should be 12 categories
Tec decides which 12 it should be going against previous votes for categories

That's all I see. Just because I'm okay with more categories and ultimately not picking some of the dumber possible awards doesn't mean the people who voted for them are or that Hiro wanted extra "help"

as a proud citoyen of the boyah i am ok w/ all of this.

it's literally not "hiro's awards" lol

i did not spontaneously or arbitrarily decide to limit hiro

i established a boundary here well before the awards had even started

http://boyah.net/forums/index.php/topic,68949.msg1545266.html#msg1545266

yes, i did

and i explained my reasoning every step of the way, put it up to a vote that passed, and i requested user input all the while (source: this entire thread)

i suppose if you really wanted to, you could make another poll with a question like 'do you specifically agree with tec's decision to expand the awards by the following 12 categories to 44 from 32', but i'm certainly not going to be the one making that poll lol girl;

Well yeah exactly you established a boundary after Hiro already volunteered to do the whole thing and he says wtf is this because we had basically agreed to let him do the whole thing but then you throw up a volunteer sheet but don't even put his name on it lol


Well Yeah I'm not running a poll because that would take forever because no one cares and also this is hiros thing

Quote from: YPargh on July 04, 2017, 02:42:48 PM

Nobody would have approved of it otherwise. In fact nobody even took Hiro's proposal seriously until I'd made 3 separate threads about it and then begged JMV to make this board. akudood;
