User blog:Sonofapollo/The next step

Previously on SoA's blog...
Hehehe....So now you all saw my last blog, if you haven't read it here, before you carry on. Now the last blog introduced the Wizard of the Year and Most influential contests. You all had the opportunity to nominate some people who you think deserved it, which was initially successful, so much so that we were able to move on early! And I thank you guys for that, it makes the event all the more fun! So now, what's the next step? Well, read on, mes amis.....

Voting
So from today (Sunday 10th March) to Friday, 15th March, you guys will have the opportunity to vote for who you think should get these awards. Now the nominations can be seen on the previous blog, but I'll post it here anyway:
 * 1) Einar Faris
 * 2) Regina Fontaine
 * 3) John Richards
 * 4) Brandon Smith
 * 5) Lisa Green
 * 6) Shane Frozon
 * 7) Arcturus Rookou
 * 8) Abel Antwine
 * 9) Estella Tyrrell
 * 10) Amadorus Kinsel
 * 11) Elmira Griffin
 * 12) Genevieve Bellefleur
 * 13) Steven Holt
 * 14) Garrick Ollivander
 * 15) Drew Cage

Okay, so what I'm going to do is set up a page with a small bio for each nominee, and on that page you will have the opportunity to vote for your nominees. Each user will have three and only three votes each, which you can use to vote for whoever you want. Let's be mature about this, you can't vote for one person twice, and the vote will be '''out of character (OOC). '''That means you're going to have to use four tildes (~) to sign whomsoever you wish to vote for. All voting will be done here.

The Banquet!
Once everyone has voted, the ten nominees with the most votes will be the top ten. They will be publicly announced in the Banquet next Saturday. The witch or wizard with most votes out of the ten, will be made Wich/Wizard of the Year. Exciting stuff!

The banquet is going to be the most fun of all! It will be held at Le Cordon Magique, courtesy of Bry. Most likely I'll create a subpage or something. Now this is extremely important so we get it right the first time.

Firstly: I've sent out invitations to all those invited. If a certain character hasn't got one, they're not invited, simple as that. I don't want to sound horrible about it but that's just the way it is. I've been generous, and I know for a fact I've sent out over eighty characters invitations. So don't be annoyed if one of your characters hasn't got an invite. If your char's invite says "and family" that means wife, husband, siblings, children etc.

Secondly: I have created a seating plan of the banquet hall here. Please respect this and stick to your table. As far as I know, I've placed family together and friends together (to the best of my ability), so yeah. I've done this so that was we have less edit conflicts during the rp, and so that people can rp in smaller groups. Basically, at the banquet, we're going to have "Table One" etc in Heading three, so you'll be able to rp in smaller groups. I spent ages on this, so please don't ignore it. Thanks!

Lastly: It's formal dress! This banquet is supposed to be a very High Class, A-List kind of thing, like the Ministry Ball ages ago. Now I know some of you may find it a bore, but go on, go all out! Make word bubbles for your chars' best dress, and make the most of it. This is going to be a night of, as Professor McGonagall would say "Well mannered frivolity"! So I want to see gowns and dress robes, and hopefully a great night!

That is all, and thank you so much for making this event awesome, guys!
