Ok ! The list of nominees has been drafted and formatted. I just have to copy-paste it into a post tomorrow morning, after making changes in case any further last-minute nominations come in.

It's not too late to nominate !

And here we have it ! The list of illustrious nominees for the VG Facts Awards 2017 !

Something new for this year. Each nominee can give a wee statement about why you should vote for them. Nominees, please send them to me via PM so I can add them, and keep them short and sweet !

Voting will open on the 25th of February to give nominees a chance to make their statements.

In brackets, some of the comments made by nominators.
If you feel that you would be better represented by another link or picture or whatnot, don't hesitate to send me your preferred link so I can add it !
All nominees in alphabetical order.

From the top blurb - "Something new for this year. Each nominee can give a wee statement about why you should vote for them. Nominees, please send them to me via PM so I can add them, and keep them short and sweet !"

So you can tell everyone why they should vote for you.

And here we have it ! The final list of illustrious nominees for the VG Facts Awards 2017 (now with nominee statements !)
 
VOTING IS OFFICIALLY OPEN FROM NOW UNTIL FRIDAY MARCH 10TH !
 
If you haven’t submitted your statements yet, feel free to do so ! Even if you want to tweak what you already have, just send me a PM and I’ll make the changes.

Let's also start thinking of a date to have the actual ceremony ! First tentative proposal - Saturday 18th of March in the afternoon. That way our friends in Europe can tune in, and we also have a good number of weeks before the ceremony to plan our lives around the VGFA ! I'm also away on business on the 11th.
 

 
Like last year, voting will follow the preferential ballot system, which I will explain below in the spoiler-tags.

Send in your votes by PM to me, and I'll tally them up with the corroboration of two other members. Just like real elections !

I'm happy that I've been nominated for a lot of stuff, including King of the Forum next to Petie and Dazz.

Incidentally, "Rookie of the Forum" would be the appropriate translation of "Best name under Retrolinkx" and it should go to Space Jockey.

Also, here's the link to the Get Rekt award.
