[RACCies] Nomination ballot for stories of 2006 [final posting]

    Here is what is nominally the final posting of the RACCies
nomination ballot for this year's awards before the nomination period
closes at the end of January.
    As previously stated, the eligible period runs from 24 December 2005
to 31 December 2006.
    I have now got ballots from four people.  I also have received two
self-nominations for administrator of next years awards, so it looks
like we'll get to vote on that as well.  [Texas stell cage death match!
Two go in, only one comes out!  BlodhsedBloodshedBloodshed!]  Whoops,
sorry, I think I was channelling my inner Conflicto for a second there...


==========


   The RACCIES are a two-step process:

    1.  Nominations.  Open.  The only restriction is that you may
   not nominate yourself or any stories you worked on.  (I will
   except crossovers under the assumption it is the others'
   contributions you wish to recognize ;] ).  The objective is
   to overlook _no_ quality stories, yet still keep the ballot
   a reasonable length, so nominate as many as you wish but
   make sure _someone'd_ vote for them.

        In addition to the below listed categories,
   participants are encouraged to create 'special' (read --
   comedic) awards to include in the balloting.  Include a
   winner with your award.  I will exert editorial fiat over
   these nominations, choosing the funniest among duplicates
   and dismissing ones in bad taste or ones with vicious intent.
        Nominations are RACC-wide: all posted imprints, stories
   and authors are eligible as long as the story(ies) in
   question were posted from 24 DEC 2005 through to 31 Dec 2006.


        Nomination Period ends: JAN 31 2007

    2.  Elections.  Crunch time.  Pick three and rank them 1,2,3
   (no self-voting).  Track and field scoring in effect -- ie 1st is
   5pts, 2nd is 3pts and 3rd is 1pt.  Most points wins. Democracy
   in action!


        Election Period ends: FEB 28 2007


    NOTE:  Please return all nominations and ballots to the preferred
    email address of:
