Try reading in some other forums to make a few more votes.

That's a damn good point actually. I'm having a little poke around the EU and HoI forums (areas I don't normally look at) and have found some a few damn good reads!

If anyone has any recommendations feel free to PM me and big up your AAR!

Yeh. It's great. I bet you wish you could write so well :D I've just remembered you retired it too, oh well too late to change the vote now.

I'm counting the results atm. Should be done by tomorrow. Watch this space.
 
The results are in. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to the voters. I was especially intrigued by the battle between Imperio Nova and Democracy's Last Stand this time around. At one stage it looked like {LD} Firestorm was going to walk away with two awards but ended up with none.

Could I just take this moment to get some feedback in regards to these awards. These awards used to be a well participated, popular institution of AARland but in the last year or so all the indicators show that it is no longer receiving the kind of attention it used to. Take a look at these graphs which I've produced for the archive:

archivegraphs2009q3.jpg


So what is the reason behind this drop-off?

Is it because of the removal of the 'favourite overall' category? The other new rules about only being able to win twice a year? Is it due to the general AARland forum being a lot quieter than it used to and people being less likely to see this thread? Is it due to an all over drop in readership across AARland? Or are people just too busy to vote nowadays?

I'd just like to hear what you think the reasons are for this drop-off in participation and some ideas as to how we could address these issues. The first thing I think I'll do next period is create a promotional thread in each subforum but I have doubts over their pulling power too.

All criticism is encouraged. Let's hear it.
