Golden Apple Awards 2016 - FINAL SHOW ON SUNDAY 19TH

Post by roope »

It's that time of the year again: let's get the Golden Apple Awards going. Last year was an year of changes but those changes proved to be very successful, and we got a huge rise in the amount of voters. This year there are only small tweaks to the overall structure; the main thing that has changed majorly is the jury. Only me and Markku from last year will continue, and as newcomers we have adi, Ruben and Sla. We'll also have experts of certain fields helping us. Thanks to everyone who is leaving and a big welcome to everyone that is joining!

The official site is: http://gaa.elmaonline.net/

The GAA period for any given year goes from January 1st to December 31st. Accordingly, for GAA16 the period from when to choose your nominees is: January 1st 2016 - December 31st 2016.

Notes:
===

Team category has been removed. There simply hasn't been enough signs of significant team activity (that could be evaluated properly) this year. We're expecting/hoping this classic category to make a comeback next year with World Cup 7 though!

===

Saveload: the Saveload category was introduced last year. After Smibu and milagros' saveload tools were released, saveloading has become a prominent thing in the Elma scene. This category is "all things SL"; you can suggest replays, styles and WRs for example.

===

Breakthrough: The Breakthrough is an award introduced in GAA2014; it replaced the old "Rookie" category. The Breakthrough GAA is awarded to a person who has made a big improvement, impact or comeback on any aspect of the game during the year. Candidates can be eligible for a breakthrough in any of 3 categories

1. Internals.
2. Externals and/or Battles.
3. Level Design.

The breakthrough award cannot be awarded to the same person multiple times for the same area of play. When suggesting a candidate you should note which category you are suggesting them for.

===

Contribution: In 2014, the "Site", "Contest" and "Contribution" awards were amalgamated into a single "Contribution" award.
However, the jury decided that since there were so many contests in 2015, so they brought the Contest category back as a separate category.
Contests have been prominent in 2016 too, so we're keeping it as a separate category.

The Contribution award is for those who have made a significant contribution to the scene through various forms such as programs, a useful and popular website or any other type of significant contribution.


===

Juror's Choice: An award introduced in 2014, the Juror's choice is an entirely jury-decided award that can be given to any person(s) within the scene for any reason deemed appropriate. The community can freely nominate candidates for this category, however the category will not be voted for by the community in the third step of voting and nominees will be kept hidden until the final show.

In the WR category, both single and multi WRs in the internals are eligible. Note that WRs must be published in an official WR table to be eligible. I'll try everything I can to make px update WR's before the end of this year!

In the Replay categories, only replays that have been publicly shared as actual .rec files will be eligible for this award. So even if your run is included in an Elma movie, it won't be eligible for the Replay award unless you have released the actual replay file.

In the Art category, any type of Elma-related art is eligible. This can include replay movies (such as EDQ, advertisement movies for cups, etc), real-life movies such as Elma Crime, images/artwork, music, and other types of art. Note that one kuski can only have one nomination spot for each type of art, but you do not need to consider this when making suggestions.

Re: Golden Apple Awards 2016 - FIRST STEP VOTING UNLOCKED

Post by roope »

Instructions of the voting process


First step:
The community can make suggestions for the categories. Making suggestions in the first step is no longer necessary for voting in the later steps, but (especially a wide range of suggestions) is still highly appreciated and needed. Make these suggestions in this topic.
Deadline: Saturday 31st December, 23:59 EET (GMT+2)

Second step:
The jury will choose candidates for each category. The jury members will choose the candidates according to their experience and knowledge (they will also be reading, and strongly taking into consideration, the community's suggestions).

Deadline: Sunday 8th January, 23:59 EET (GMT+2)

Third step
Now we have the top candidates for each category available and the Elma community can vote. If you want to send your votes via Mopolauta, your Mopolauta account has to be registered before the start of the first step. You can also send your votes via IRC with a private message to roopemies @ IRCnet. You can also send your votes with a private message to roope's profile in elmaonline.net, or to @roope#7292 in Discord. You don't have to vote in every category but if you do vote in some category you must pick a full top 5. The point is: choose top 5 or nothing.
The voting happens in the GAA voting website. After voting the website will give you a key, which you should send to roope with some of the aforementioned ways before the deadline. The votes have to be given in ranked order, from 1st to 5th. Each 1st position will give 5 points, each 2nd position will give 4 points, etc. The jury will assemble these points when the voting process has ended. You can only vote and send a PM once. Do not make your votes public.

Deadline: Sunday 12th February, 23:59 EET (GMT+2)

Fourth step
The jury will collect the top 5 for each category according absolutely to the community votes. The point system will be as follows: 5 points to every first position, 4 points to every second position etc.
This will be the top 5 to be used in the final show.

Fifth step
Details regarding jury voting: The different jury members will vote over the different categories, and the community will also give 2 votes to the candidate who got most points in the second step, and 1 vote to the candidate who got the second-most points. The different jury members' votes will not be public. In the event of a tie, the candidate who got most points from the community in the second step will win. If there still is a tie, the one who got most 5 points will win, then 4 points etc. If the winner cannot be resolved by this, the jury will come together and discuss the matter to declare a winner.
(However, IF the voter turnout in a category is 30 or more: The results are then calculated directly from the third step points. The jury members will participate in the third step as members of the community. Last year we got way over this limit, and we're hoping we'll get to that again!)

The final show is held on IRCnet, channel #gaa.

Date and time: Sunday 19th of February, 20:00 EET (GMT+2)

Post by kuchitsu »

will try to think of more in the future

Designer

Andry - Elma 3 levelpack that's pretty close to the internal feeling without really copying anything, varied battles, many artistic/memorable levs and unique ideas.
Chris - Apple battle god.
Ramone - Always high quality battles, innovative experiments with SLE tools.
Jappe2 - Kinda same as above, lots of levs made with care and masterful use of tools.
jblaze - Quality hoylable levs, like in his league for example. Some neat experimentation with textured polygons.
umiz - Always superb balles, an unorthodox style that can't be matched. Also Lost Olliz levelpack.
insguy - Lots of feel good levels with cool tricks and enjoyable speedy gameplay.
Zero - balles, Repeat pack and stuff.
Sla - Stolen internals were recognized by elastomania.com even, BBLP, good battles.

WR

Nekit wr'd 45 after 9000 years of persisting.

Replay

http://www.recsource.tv/r/svkhgmntdj

Level

ayFTTL62 by AndrY001 - I consider most 60 minute ffs unnecessarily long and full of filler parts that the author made without thinking much just because he wanted to make the lev as long as possible. Not the case here: Andry managed to keep me constantly entertained, none of the parts felt pointless.
Jeppe2's wbc2 pipe

Contest

World Battle Cup2
EGP
Procheck by Bartek? It seemed 100% accurate, no noobs passed the test.
jblaze's league thing.

Art

The "Save Me" puzzle challenge by AKB.
insguy's film preview.
Dementia battles by insguy.

Contribution

Reefer became a fresh and very welcome source of quick and fun nighttime battles.
Ppl who organized FEM.
Ppl who are responsible for promoting and developing Discord stuff.
villej for YALE and updates to recsource.
Sla organized elimination contest, maintains a list of elma programs, makes lots of levs, is being friendly, helpful and very enthusiastic about the game and its community.
niN organized wbc2 and handled all the pressure, maintains his site with levelpacks, does entertaining interviews.
New moporators? Are they doing much?


Juror's choice

insguy for having the strength to go through all the hardships related to his movie, including losing pretty much all footage.
zworqy for maintaining one of the most popular elma sites for many years before finally closing it.

This puzzle lev by sunl is really clever. Don't just watch winrec, take some time and try to solve it by yourself in order to understand its beauty. It also features amusing bugline abuse that I personally have never seen before.

I asked this question too when saw the lev. :) Not counting the apples at start, you can take 3 apples. After that you have to avoid flowers until you collect everything.

Post by insane guy »

I`ve failed to write down stuff throughout the year and my HDD crash also kinda erased many memories of what happened in the scene. I will update this list once more comes to my mind.

Externalist
Hosp for BBLP and Repeat hoyling

Battler
Zero - (still has no serious competition unless he has a bad day)
jblaze- won pretty much everything at FEM16
Sick_Mambo - besides having one of the best nicks in the scene I find it very pleasing to spy him.
Thunder - one of the late night crew, comes up with some insane styles every now and then.
Bjenn - sometimes plays only a fraction of the balle time, still winning. Serious afterballe höyler.
AKB - down under style, always nice spy.
pawq - made decent comeback (?), very active nowadays, routinely does sick tricks.
Ramone - can find joy in the shittiest levs. Very creative style inventions and tests everything!
iltsu - he would never play the easy style just to win a battle. as a designer its always good to have him playing your lev.


Designer
Hosp - his battle levs require a lot of skill in stylefinding and execution, perfect for battling.
TL - still kicking his ugly masterpieces, recently even putting more realistic balle times!
Sla - BBLP and other projects I forgot, nice visuals and a bit oldschoolish style.
kuchitsu - almost every of his recent levs was Wcup material. Also takes the time to make simple but proper pics/grass.
Ramone - his levs are mostly high quality, but whats more important is that he gives you a good feeling while playing his levs. Commenting in private msgs or general announcements, Ramones battles usually feel special.

Breakthrough
Fejm - recently beating pros, mostly using simple styles that are very efffective.
Vitesse - also suddenly ranking in the top places.

Contest
WBCII

Art
Markku, VilleJ & Lousku (& skint0r?) for FEMHunt

Only a couple of weeks left till the end of the year, which is the deadline for the first step! Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far, we've collected a pretty good nominee core for this year's show already. We'd still like to hear some more good suggestions especially in categories like Style, Replay, Saveload and Level, so keep 'em coming!

Level

Contest Levels
32Cup13 by umiz - Originally made for WCup6. Excellent playability and playful visuals!
WBCII10 by Rapptor - My favorite event in WBCII! Old level from a Trek Track co-designer. I am grateful that niN pick it :)
WBCII03 by insguy - One of the more interesting WBCII events stylewise. The level also looks mindblowingly good. Big plus for the logo!
EGP406 by Ruben - Not the most epic level of 2016, not the most visually stunning either. But it work perfectly for Rubens concept. Had so much fun in this lev!
ECL1P08E by jblaze - The best league I've seen this far. All the style possiblities and the unusual visuals surprised me.
Repeat30 by Zeor - This seemed to be among the most liked Repeat levels. I'm also happy how the visuals turned out!

Battle Levels
Lek05 by Ramone - The best battle level from Ramones experimental era. The large amount of clever visuals is a big fat icing to the already nice cake ;)
Fejm0017 by Fejm - Some of the battles Fejm made really blew me away. This was the most original level I've seen in ages.
ayFTTL62 by Andry001 - Didn't get to play this one but I was positively surprised to see so many unseen ideas for a FF battle!
KUBA0868 by kuchitsu - Kuchi can always make the playability enjoyable but this level shows the playful side of his designing as well. Me gusta.
Pob1000 by Pab - This one was strangely enjoyable :D I was playing this level eyes wide open thinking how long it took to make all this stuff work.
BDay29 by Redline - New GAA, new BDay lev to suggest. These are always good.
Z0ro0333 by Zero - This was an interesting balle.
SkypeC05 by Ramone and Zero - This was one big fucking project. We realized we have never made a basic FF level together and the designing session turned out to be quite a marathon. We had so much fun making it :) If you guys behave I might just release my platinIum rec this Xmas... We'll have to see ;)

lol thanks for recognizion but i dont think i would be able to claim style for vurnepmbtc, considering vurnepmbtc has been thought by mans for 10+ years, and i blatantly copied the hang from romy and just did it a bit better. Also vurnepmbtc was made like 5 years ago. Also vurnepmbtc was uploaded before 2016

Guess what?

GAA 2016 PUBLIC VOTING IS ON!

Go vote at http://gaa.elmaonline.net/vote/

To vote, drag your top 5 favorites in order into the voting slots in the voting page. You don't have to vote in every category but if you do vote in some category you must pick a full top 5. The point is: choose top 5 or nothing. Remember, only vote for what happened in the GAA period (the year 2016)! After voting the website will give you a key, which you should send to roope with one of the following ways:

1. Via Mopolauta with a private message. Note: if you want to use this your Mopolauta account has to be registered before the start of the first step!
2. Via IRC with a private message to roopemies @ IRCnet
3. Via Elma Online site, with a private comment on roope's profile

The nominees are updated in the first post of this topic, and are of course shown in the voting site. One fix has been made since last time: links now automatically open in a new tab!

The deadline for sending your votes is Sunday 12th February, 23:59 EET (GMT+2), and the final show will be held a week later on Sunday 19th, 20:00.


EDIT: it appears there is no Send votes button on the site yet. Until that gets fixed, you can just plan on who you're going to vote in advance ¨=)

Bene's 44 wr rec was made in like 2014, only published in 2016. Does that really count as a 2016 rec? Not trying to downplay his achievement, I was just a little surprised to see it.

Technically it counts as a 2016 rec since it was published in 2016, even though everyone can have their own views on the matter. If we started sliding about these things, everything would become extremely tedious, i.e. would 32Cup recs be available for nomination in GAA2017, even though they were released in 2017 and the times were made in 2016?

Btw great work with nominees. I didn't see some of the recs/levs/w/e there and some are fucking amazing. :beer: :beer: :beer:

That data isn't accurate enough. Technically it's possible that 2017 is in fact 2017 BC. Oke?!
