Just to make sure I understand, are the nominations also serving as votes? Or will there be a poll after the nominees are decided in order to figure out who wins?

If I remember correctly, you make a nomination for each category, people either agree or disagree and suggest another, and then the person who guesses the most nominations correctly in the end wins.

Re: The Frankies 2010: Discussion.
That was the origional idea... but it worked much easier last year in that the person who got nominated most for a catagory won that catagory, and the person who got nominated most overall won overall. Depending on how it goes I may fiddle with it again... but the no voting system worked well for this last year.
Yes its weird and complex, but no-one pays me enough to make sense.

Re: The Frankies 2010: Discussion.
No, totally wrong, JVD.
This was what what the contest was supposed to be last year. Kind of modelled, it seems, on betting contests before the Oscars.
It ended up in a big affirmative lovefest, and we dropped the whole "getting the most right" thing.
So the principle is:
Anyone who enters the contest makes the F R A N K I E nominations. Your entry is actually kind of irrelevant, it's about who you nominate. You aren't going to win anything for writing your entry.
When the entry period is over, it's counted in each category who got the most nominations. Those people already receive a kind of "minor win" (see the cupcake in my signature, I won the "Kilo-post category"). The person who globally receives the most nominations wins the "contest".
Last year, Alisonchan won the total contest, and I think two of the subcategories, and she also drew the cupcakes for the other category winners, that was kind of "inofficial".
I really wonder how it will turn out this year. A year ago, we were a really happy little community, but... things have happened.
Damn, bear-sniped!

Re: The Frankies 2010: Discussion.
This also implies that you kind of... need to know the community quite well to actually make nominations. And I think we have a lot less people who really do than we had last year. Unless certain gents and dames delurk for a bit.

Not to mention epic de-lurkage, too.

Sense? What is this sense thing you speak of?
It's bear we are talking about here!
I mean, bear and sense don't even have the same number of letters!
