Here below some extra details about delivery of the awards and other details.
First and foremost, I want to congratulate with all the winners of this 2016 edition, well deserved indeed! Straight after this I will answer the question that almost everyone is asking himself at the moment, when will the medals be delivered? Asap, of course! What else?
Jokes apart, it will take us a while to deliver all the medals, but expect them to land on your profile page within this week.
Following up with the matter of the medals, I'd like to remember you all that ONLY modders will receive the medals, as voted upon the Most Popular Modders Category for each single title.
For all the other categories (either mods or resources) the mod team/resource maker has the right to state in his/their signature (and in the OP of their mod/resource if they wish) that the mod/resource in question has been awarded with the 1st, 2nd or 3rd position in the 2016 Modding Awards.
Below you can find all the award images in bigger format, feel free to use the appropriate one to promote the victory of your mod/resource.
A final note: you might be noticing that there are quite a lot of ties and that some medals will not be delivered; this is due to the fact that with so many ties the Commitee dediced to apply the stardard international sport procedure (the same used in the Olimpic Games, for the records) to deal with them; basically the positions are defined by the sheer number of votes and nothing else.
I'll make a couple of examples
- 1st position ties, you have two gold medals and one silver medal, no bronze medal; you have three winners actually; the one who ended up on third position because of the precedent ties is, in fact, ended fourth in terms of votes. - 3rd position ties, you have one gold medal, one silver medal and two bronze medals; this the only case in which we can have more than 3 winners; as a matter of fact, in terms of votes, both those who ended up in the third position received the third absolute number of votes, and so they are both deserving the bronze medal.
If you are familiar with sports it shouldn't be difficult to understand the mechanism. For any comment/question or simply to congrat with the 2016 Awards winners, please use the General Discussion Thread.
