Gnoblog of the Month

original thread ↗

Gather around Ogres and Ogresses!

The Stronghold Guard, led by our all mighty Overtyrant Hragged, would like to introduce a new and permanent feature in the Gnoblog section of the Stronghold; the Gnoblog of the Month!

Basically, during the last week of each month, voting will be open to all members of the Stronghold, giving them the opportunity to vote for their favourite Gnoblog that month, based upon the merit of content and updates. On the last day of the month, voting will close and the the votes will be tallied up. The winner will be announced on the first day of the following month, along with a Pet Gnoblar for their efforts.

Like where this is going so far? Great! Well, at the end of the year, there will be a Gnoblog of the Year award, where the Gnoblog with the most monthly wins throughout the year, will earn the owner a physical prize (at this stage, most likely to be a gift card!). There's no hidden catch, no hitch, nothing. We just wanna see you guys really throw everything into your Gnoblogs, and maybe tempt those of you who have always considered making a blog but never have, finally decide to make that jump... So, what are you waiting for? Get painting, converting, gaming and most importantly updating those Gnoblogs!

We will be starting straight away, so the as of August, you guys will be able to start making your considerations for voting come the week beginning 26th August :)

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.
Cool!

Can't wait to see what folks come up with to make their Gnoblogs sing!!

How does this work? Where do you sign up to enter or is everyone with a gnoblog automatically entered into the competition?
Actions speak louder than words, unless your eating a mime of course.
How does this work? Where do you sign up to enter or is everyone with a gnoblog automatically entered into the competition?
Everyone with a gnoblog is automatically eligible for entry for the competition. Basically, it isn't upon the part of the author to be submitted to the competition, but when they are voted for by one or more users of the forum.

Example;

You have a Gnoblog that you've been updating throughout August. I have found the updates great, and by far the most impressive blog of that given month. When voting opens for August, I will submit your name. The names are tallied, and the person with the most names is deemded that month's Gnoblog of the Month! :)

Sorry if that's not too clear, but it's the basic gist of it :)
