For those already doing some planning, the examples I will be using for the formatting will be the settings for Crest/Banner of the Stars and Black Lagoon. I have several others in mind that I'll do if no one beats me to it.
And one specific request: I really want someone who's more knowledgeable about the scope of it than me to do The World from the .hack// titles. I suspect that could be a particularly complicated one to do. Template will not be up until at least late tomorrow night, as I am, unfortunately, very busy tonight (and really for the rest of this week). |

I am rough draft complete for a guide entry for the Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I would appreciate if someone knowledgeable about the series and great at editing to collaborate with me. I am currently sitting at just over 500 words, which I assume is probably to long. My approach has been focused on describing the major powers, people of influence, important events, and how they all interact within their setting. I did not spend time developing the technology, physical environments, or how the world operates different from reality since they do strive for realism, alternate history and not high fantasy. PM me if you are interested with working with me, but remember, we won't be able to solidify it until we get Key's template.

Yeah, I think the initial nominations are supposed to just give a brief idea. You can get more indepth when the actual rounds start.

Have I shown you my spreadsheet recently? I know what I'm doing. Adding the extra rounds might take a few more hours at the very start, but once I've got them all copied in, any given week only takes maybe half an hour. I'm basing my assertion on the several years I have been doing this. What are you basing your skepticism on? |

You often mention how long your spreadsheet takes to do, and your comment that you could handle one extra round gave the impression that you might not be able to handle three extra rounds. If you can do 1,024 characters then great. |

I don't really participate in these tournaments, but I would love to see and read a tournament on Most Influential Mangaka/Creator.
I have a tendency to follow up on a mangaka after reading and liking one of his/her works. Would love to see which mangakas/creators you guys are willing to defend.

The winner would automatically be Osamu Tezuka, A.K.A. the father of Manga and the godfather of Anime. Every Manga and Anime since him has either used his designs and methods, or deliberately eschewed them. You can't find a more influential person in the entire industry. 
Well that was an extremely short tournament. |

dtm42: LOL, you got me there. I guess that's true that Osamu Tezuka would be the most influential. What I really want to know is which mangaka/creator people would recommend without becoming a recommendation thread.

Something like best creator/director/etc might work. It would certainly give us something different to talk about. Director would probably be the easiest to execute, IMO.
But yeah, most influential is pretty much a given. And Miyazaki would no doubt be the runner up. And there's a good change Miyazaki do well in a best director tournament as well, though I can't say I would be voting for him in that (most influential, certainly, since it's hard to argue against that, but from a personal standpoint, Miyazaki doesn't do a whole lot for me). Did Tezuka direct as well? I am sadly not as familiar with him as I probably should be

Apologies about the delays on this; last week turned out to be an even more enormous time crunch than I originally expected. Following is the template that I will want used for the World-Building entries. Refer to the OP of this thread for details on probable qualification and evaluation standards.
Please follow this template as closely as possible, including formatting:
NOTES: *Normal prohibitions on resorting to non-animated material will be loosened for purpose of determining world name, if such information is included in source material that hasn’t been animated. If a setting name is not available, call it “World of xxxxxxx” **If the setting is applicable to multiple titles within a franchise then use the “franchise” option. If the setting is applicable to only one arc within a series, please indicate which arc (e.g., Sword Art Online Fairy Dance arc). Here is an example, which will be one of the first two proper nominations when I start the official nomination thread:
Given that series from the Spring season will be eligible, I may wait until Sunday to officially start the nomination thread, which will allow a couple of series to finish and others to be close enough that a proper write-up could be done if they get nominated. We definitely won't start before Friday in any case, so that will give people time to get their initial nominations prepped. Oh, and just to clarify, content from omake will be allowed for supporting world-building. (This is particularly relevant for series like Chrono Crusade, Shakugan no Shana, and Lodoss War which have world-elaborating omake.) Feel free to ask if you have any questions about formatting or what should or shouldn't be included in an entry, though, and feel free to run something by me via PMs if you want a proofread before it gets officially posted. |

Question: Can we nominate more than one? Because there are two in my mind that really stick out very heavily.

You can nominate as many as you want and support as many as you want as well. I have a decent list though I'm not quite ready to nominate anything just yet.

So if someone submits a nomination using the template required, there is no need for someone else who had the same idea to submit a similar nomination?

Yeah, some of our most prolific nominators commonly achieve nominations in the dozens. It's just a matter of how much effort you're willing to put into doing write-ups. (And I'm convinced that, for some people, that's half the fun.)
EDIT: And to answer your question, getchman, it's perfectly fine for more than one person to submit a write-up for the same world. They'll still count as supporting votes, and I'll just choose the better-written one as the official write-up. (In fact, every time we do this there's always a handful of prominent cases where I dearly wish that someone would do a second and better write-up.) |
