Character of the Month June 2019: Nominations

RicePigeon · July 5, 2019

Welcome to the June edition of CotM, this time around, we're changing up the rules a bit. The rules are more or less the same, with the following change: You will now be able to nominate characters that you have created yourself, but only if someone else has already nominated that character.

Nominations & Voting Rules

You may nominate up to 4 characters per month.
You may only nominate a character that was released and/or updated during the given month.
You can nominate a character that you created yourself, but only if someone else has already nominated that character.
You cannot nominate characters that have previously won Gold or Silver in any previous Character of the Month.
Be specific as to which character you are nominating; include both the name and the author name and, if applicable, the release thread of the character.
To make things easier, we suggest that you append the number of nominations that the character has, including your own, when you make your nominations.
Characters that have been nominated by at least 3 different people will become candidates for voting. Candidates for voting cannot be nominated any more (as there is no real purpose to this)
Voting begins 15 days after the nomination period began, or once 20 characters have been nominated as candidates.
The Nomination period will end on the 16th of every month, while the Voting period will end on the 1st of the following month, with a 1 week extension given in the event of a tie. The winner will be announced at the end of this period.
At the end of each month, the top 2 voted characters will be declared the Gold and Silver winners, respectively. In the event of a tie, voting will be extended by 1 week. If the tie is not broken by then, there will be no Silver winners for that month.
During this time, you will be permitted to vote for one character for CotM. So please choose wisely
You may choose to do a Counter-Nomination. Counter-Nominations can only be done on characters that have obtained at least 3 nominations for CotM. When doing a Counter-Nomination, you MUST list the reason(s) why you believe that the character should not be in the list of candidates. Note that if we, the staff of MFFA, feel that your reason for candidacy rejection is not adequate enough, we have the right to reject your Counter-Nomination. At least three (3) valid Counter-Nominations are required for a character to be removed from the list of candidates. You can only make one Counter-Nomination per month, which does not count towards your 4 nomination limit.
No collusion of any kind. If we find out that anyone has conspired with other users to nominate characters for the sole purpose of preventing another character from being nominated as a candidate by flooding the list of candidates until it reaches maximum capacity, those nominations will be null and void and all parties involved will be banned from participating in future CotM.
