I nominate myself for best TF leader as I lead folks to their doooom better than anyone.
I think this is a good idea. Please find the upcoming parody in the dUmb thread as an homage.

Immaterial. THIS thread is about the Infinity Awards.
I like the idea, need more details on rules though.
Like how many times can a person be chosen? Is it one toon for cc/theme per account? Villains/Heroes, etc, etc.
Judges from a wide group of people would be encouraged too, would like to help if my schedule allows. Would helping eliminate me from entering completely?
@Slax
LOL how often do you talk on speed teams, we kinda all know what to do 
But yea Slax is a good leader
First thing we have to do is establish a governing body, which will then establish the categories and criteria for winning them. the committee should be large and diverse enough so as not to preclude any member of it from being disqualified from competition, though i would imagine voting for yourself in any particular category would have to be forbidden.
Well I'd like to enter under best concept, as the rest of the titles holds little interest. Which is why I asked, its a given I would not be able to judge in that category. Still wanted to help in someway is all.
Slax's words of wisdom as a team leader: "boof meh".
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
While I'm sure a thread about Slax's leadership (much respect to Slax) would be very entertaining, I'd like to keep this thread "on topic" please...
This is the Infinity boards, no thread has ever been on topic here.
But this is a good idea - by what metrics do we expect to be measured? Is a good TF leader someone who coaches newer players, or who leads epic teams to insanely epic victories? Best PvPer - are we looking at dueler/Team player/FiteClub Annoucer/etc?
I do so apologize for going "off topic". Really I do.
So back on topic, I have a category - "Infinity's Most Overbearing Blowhard". I know I'll have support from some in-game friends that have kicked this guy from a private channel more than once.

Metrics for measurement are one of the items that would have to be considered by committee, once it has been formed. I'm sure that someone who has led a 20-minute ITf or a +4 x8 MoSTF would certainly merit consideration in a "Best Leader" category, but someone who is endlessly helpful in mentoring noobs is also displaying good leadership, and good citizenship.

So in order to establish the governing body, shouldn't we first schedule a meeting that will decide when the selection committee will get together and plan out the direction of the organization of the selection process, including such things as who will be in on the organization of the next meeting and the availability of the people so chosen to nominate a team to select the members of the governing body?

The governing body will be determined by who decides to give their time to the effort. A separate, private thread will be created for the purpose of establishing categories and criteria for the awards, isolated from the depredations of a public thread. Each member thus self-selected will have access to the deliberations at a time of thier own choosing, and consensus shall be achieved by general acclamation. Once Categories and Criteria for Awards has been thus established, these will be published on this thread for the review of the Community during a comment period. If it is so determined by the Committee, revisions shall be made, and these published likewise. Thereafter, nominations shall be accepted from the Community for the various categories, discussed and voted upon by the Committee, and the results announced at the Event presently sceduled for March 7 (In concordance with the Academy Awards), with Prizes awarded thereafter.
And If Slax throws his hat in the ring, he's got my vote too! Go Slax!

I claim no credit for the idea. It was HeadCutter who originally came up with it, not me. I just agreed that it was a great idea, and agreed to help with the organization.

I have established the Infinity Events Guild at guildportal.com for the purpose of organizing the Infinity Awards Event, and other Infinity Events. Come by and apply if you'd like to serve on the planning committee!
Welp, I was just roped into this contest, so lemme know when everything is going on and the world shall know of it haha.
The idea was presented to me today that we should have an Infinity Awards Event, a black tie Event in Pocket D to celebrate all the things that make the Infinity Server the BEST Server in CoX. The plan was floated for a New Year's Eve launch, but upon discussion, we realized that to make it a worthwhile Event, it would require a great deal of planning and preparation.
First, we need to establish a committee to consider what categories we would award prizes for. I'm soliciting to volunteers to help me with this, so that a wide range of views will be represented. Then we need to get nominations for the categories, and choose winners. Finally, we need to determine prizes to award. The most original idea for this was to award pre-paid subscription cards and Gold Temp Titles. Much cooler than the influence prizes normally awarded.
Ideas for awards included Best Character Concept, Best SG/VG, Best Base (though we already have a Base Tour Contest in planning), Best Costume Design (though we already have frequent CCs on in Infin), Best Recurring Event, Best Role Model, Best Role Player, Best TF Leadr, and Best PvPer. I welcome any and all ideas for Award Categories, but the final Award Tally will probably only be 10, as the subscription cards cost real world $.
Please get back to me if you are interested in serving on the Infinity Awards Planning Committee. We're going to need a lot of help to make this an Event worthy of the concept. Done right, it could be a great Annual Event!
