tl;dr: scroll to bottom for list of nomination types we need more of
I have returned from my hibernation
The Frosties is an annual Poal award show where users circlejerk each other highlight Poal's most interesting content from the past year. As The Frosties committee rounds up and begins to review the nominations for 2024, here is what I'd like to highlight:
Live show date/time: TBD
It depends on several people's availability, the streaming setup, etc. We'll keep you posted.
None of the categories are set in stone
There was an initial suggestion of categories we'd use this year, but these are subject to change based on the nominating behavior. For example, I just don't see "best (OC) photo" being a category after seeing the nominations that have(/haven't) come in. However, there could be a "best story" category because many of the photo-related nominations that have come in are tied to a story that's more entertaining than the photo itself. "best food pic" might also be a thing based on the availability of the content.
The Frosties committee is going to prioritize having a relatively short list of well-populated categories so the thing doesn't go on forever this year. Certain great content that didn't make the cut will probably get an honorable mention.
Many of the nominations will be pruned
Since it's open to anybody, we're inevitably going to get some things that don't fit. Also, and I'm guilty of this, there have been some joke/diss nominations and Frosties nominations have been used in banter. You love to see it. We will try to get an honorable mention list going for single-category nominations and one-offs that were high quality.
There are pareto distributions of nominees and nominators
You complainers had all year to nominate stuff. You still have time. It's easy to go back and find things you could nominate. Information on categories that need more nominations follows:
Categories that need nominations
- Best poem: You guys sit around moping and writing poems to each other every week. Try to nominate a couple of your favorites.
- Best bacon pic: poal.co/s/ochodepoal choose your favorite from this year
- Best OC photo: I mentioned this was on the chopping block, but maybe you can save her?
- Best Music: Is there more than just morbo?
- Best food post: a lot of content for this, nominate your favorites
- Best food pic
- Best troll: post, comments, or strings of comments that troll the userbase or a user
- User awards: best user, most prolific, best commenter, biggest troll, biggest faggot
- I may suggest more suggestions in the coming days
PM me a link or ping me to the post or comment in question to nominate. Including a category or suggested category is helpful, but not necessary. I'm open to any other kind of suggestions for the show.
