Award Thread 2014!!!

[CosmykTheDolfyn]

How is the voting being counted ? Straight highest number of votes with judges as tie-breakers or as per the ranking system from your first post on this thread ?

Awarding The Awards for the Awardees.
After nominations, voting process begins. A voting thread will be opened on[...]public vote (where any user can vote) will open, along with a[...]member panel of judges. [...] Here's the system: You don't just judge who wins, you rank everyone, 1-however many nominees. (Another thread with all nominees listed will be created). Ex:
Best GIFFer
1: Arjhan
2:CosmykTheDolfyn
3: Hexadecimal
4: SERIOUSLY THOUGH
You get whoever many points you get, based on rank. Lower=better. Average is taken of public, which counts for 50% of vote. Average is taken of judges, which is 50% of vote. Those two values combined, to create ultra mega super duper average. Lowest value wins award. Also, those judges are responsible for counting and tallying it all, btw.

Also, needless to say, you can't vote for yourselves no matter how sexy you feel ;)

I think we'll go with highest number of votes straight, with the judges as tie breakers. However, judges (you know who you are) feel free to vote also. In case of a tie, the three judges will just vote between the two contestants in a tie (if it's a 3 way tie, lord help me).
Also, I feel that it is all right to vote for yourself, since you have to rank everyone in order anyway. You can't not rank yourself, or you wouldn't vote at all.

So please, don't just say, "Hey, they should win this award", tell me who you think is second, third, fourth, etc., so that we can get a more broad and more accurate vote.
If anyone has a better system, please feel free to throw it out there.
(And Mass Distraction, I have no idea which one of your vents was the magical one, I just know you were nominated)
