Now is the chance for people to apply as nominators and for old nominators to check in and retain their spot. If you do not remember your login information but still wish to participate you may message me here to have your info reset.

For new nominators:

No applications will be accepted until I see what the current alliance representation is like.

In about 48 hours we'll move on to nominations and shortly after that, voting.

So there are 8 new apps in. With me and the three existing members who responded that is 12 total. I am not really interested in going through all the work for such a small voting base. Historically only about 1/3 of the people actually end up voting and there is no way I am doing this for four votes. =P

LT, your app will surely be accepted if this gets enough interest since none of the previous LaF voters have responded. (same goes for Pang)

Hard to say. Would depend on numbers and so forth. At smaller numbers I am more inclined to lump people with previous alliances than at larger numbers where "fractional allegiance" is less of a concern.

Certainly not everyone has applied and very few people who have voted in the past have checked in (aka they are completely inactive)

Pretty much

The weekend was my prime chance to do it. There seems to have been enough interest drummed back up but now I have to find an opportunity =P

doesn't this system seem too complicated for a simple questionnaire? Is it this way to promote anonymous voting? If not, couldn't you more easily just set up the questions and have people PM it to you all within these forums?

I do want voter anonymity and while I do have the ability to figure out who voted which way, all other aspects are anonymous. I am not sure how to coordinate nominations and voting in this fashion in any other website.

I assume there are ways to limit it to only the people who should be voting? For the sake of voting anonymity I would be happy to move to that, but nominations are the most time consuming part. =P Its not like this is terribly time consuming - it is just finding a consecutive half hour to put into it =P

Detmer: You can send the surveys via email, dead easy - we use surveymonkey at work and send to thousands of people. Just copy/paste a list of email addresses.

I cannot see your signature - so if it's witty, put it in a post instead! :p
