<p>Steady on now guys, there's plenty of me to go around! I thought you had all gone off me for a minute there...</p><p> </p><p>

Seriously though, thanks for all the support, its amazing to be nominated so soon after winning the rookie category. Brings a tear to my glass eye it does.</p>

<p>Boom King is very deserving, I always enjoy seeing something new about the Kid. </p><p> </p><p>

And thanks to the guys who nominated me, I really appreciate it. Its easy to pump out shows using the simple format I'm using and having plenty of free time without a job. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> On the positive for me (negative for my free time), I think I'll be starting a new job around the start of February, I'm definitely enjoying doing the diary, but just will decrease the pace most likely. But again, thank you, very much.</p>

Either a nomination or a second to infinity's Tradition Dictates...

 

And put a nomination on ice for MrOnu's 4C: More than the Canandian 3rd Option for rookie diary. He hasn't reached the show count yet, but has a week to get there. It's the show count that seems to be slowing down the amout of people eligible for this category - perhaps the rules on this should be eased a little?

rule 6. Rookie DOTM: may have up to 5 shows and have started since since the 15th of the previous month (none diary threads are no longer eligible)

 

MrOnu qualifies, he has 5 or less shows, a dairy with more than 5 would go to the main groups.

 

I am how ever open to the idea that a rookie diary is simply one that is in it's first 45 days with at least 1 show posted. Show of hands who thinks we should change what constitues a rookie diary?

 

I am up for anything that highlights good new diaries, and keeps the authors churning out the goods. Just let me know!

Personally I think that 'rookie' diaries should stretch further than just one month. So many diaries and that includes quite a few 'past' rookie of the month winners die a death after only the first few months.

 

For me a rookie diary should be any diary that has been going for up to 2 months and has at least one show written up. I did actually think maybe up to 3 months, but that may be going a little too far the other way.

 

These diaries should also not be eligible for the senior categories be it for Cornellverse or Real World until they have lasted into their third month. I just feel that the senior categories should only be opened up to those who have shown commitment/had time to keep their diary going.

I agree with this completely. I'm sure some people might not like it, but it makes sense.

updated.

 

Here is what I am proposing for the Rookie cat starting next month.

 

A Rookie Dairy one that is not ~60 days old at the start of DOTM nominations, with at 1 show posted in the current month.

 

a Diary like FINisher's that is done in chapters will be excluded from rookie, should he start another chapter

Well actually the chapter thing wasn't planned :p I just kept the same savegame going but switched the promotion.. And yes, that makes sense since they (The chapters) are separate diaries, they're just being continued from the same savegame.

I still have one vote left....

 

So I will be throwing my rookie vote towards Trekkiemonsta's PGHW 2012: The Pride in Conquest.

 

Trekkie's one of the best match writers on the board, and as PGHW is all about the matches, his diary all ready has me hooked.

 

I'll second this. ;)

Front page should be up to date, I think the Rookies that have been nominated represent a great influx of diverse Ideas. Glad to see Japan getting some much deserved attention.

 

Tradiation Dictates That You Be... Welcomed to the Coastal Zone was nominated by Candyman and seconded by me, so should be in.

 

I threw up the second. I did not take Candy's question as an acutal nomination. but fair enough to be be seen that way. :o
