Here is some elaboration on the rules for passing this on:
a) primary responsibility for keeping these awards moving rests with the awarder. If you haven't heard from your nominee by the following sunday, then its your responsibility (& pleasure) to pick again;
b) if the award goes missing for two weeks, one of the mods will post in the thread. This might indicate that it will be passed on asap. Lets face it we all take breaks from the forum and its unfair to deny someone a chance to pick their nominee just because they are exceptionally busy or taking a holiday;
c) on the other hand, this might indicate that the award is stuck. At that stage making a nomination for a new nominee is first come, first served. The proposals around voting are too difficult to manage in reality and the delight of all these awards is they are idiosyncratic, its what an individual llkes, not, as with the ACAs, what we as an AAR community like.

-------------------------------------------------------
Guidelines:
The Weekly Showcase was and is designed for all of AARland, from EU1 to HOI2. The idea is to select a single AAR (as opposed to a writer, that's covered under 'WritAAR of the Week') that deserves everyone's attention and focus on it. The only way this will work is with your participation.
1. Your AAR is selected! Congratulations! Please take a moment to say 'Hi' to your admirers!
2. After one week, please choose your successor. It can be any AAR for a Paradox published or created game on these forums, within the following guidelines:
A. Try not to select an AAR whose writer recently received another award. If the awards start parroting each other we've defeated the purpose.
B. Try to select an AAR in a different game/category than yours. This award is for all AARland and if people don't like game x, then they'll lose interest in participating.
3. Please add a comment or two about the AAR *and a link* when you reply nominating your successor.
4. Please post in the winning AAR's thread and/or PM the author letting him know he's won.
Thanks!
------------------------------------
First Nomination:
Now then....as I mentioned in my last article, singling out one of many great AARs out there now is difficult. However, for our first Showcase I'd like to point out 54 - 40' or... by Machiavellian. This Victoria AAR relates the story of Columbia, a former British dominion located in what's now Washington and British Columbia from 1836.
