The first round of Nominations are complete, and the Polls based on those nominations have been posted. Be sure to vote.

Now for the second round. Our nominating categories this month are:

Best Historic Mod/Scenario:
Best Historic Unit: Ancient/Renaissance:
Best Historic Unit: Industrial/Modern:

Best Fantasy Mod/Scenario:
Best Fantasy Unit:

Best Sci-Fi Mod/Scenario:
Best Sci-Fi Unit:

Members may make one nomination in each category. Please, one post per member.

This time I'm going to require that your nominations include a link, or an accompanying web address. On the first round I spent too much time chasing nominations without links.

Like last time, you have all month to perfect your nominations. Nominations for this round will officially close at 12:01 a.m. PST on Aug. 31. In the last round, a few nomination posts were started, but not completed, so please do the creator you'd have nominated a favor by finishing your nomination post.

See the 1st post in the Categories thread in this forum for a complete list of all of the Decade Awards categories.

As always, the contest organizer (me) reserves the right to make arbitrary dictatorial decisions to resolve any sticky issue. Easier that way.

Please don't post questions or comments in this thread. Please post them in the Decade Awards Main Forum Discussion Thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=430858) . Thank you, and please, enjoy yourselves!

Choices subject to change.


* explanation of category choice (not lobbying for votes) Most would consider it strictly historical. OTOH it includes an ahistorical civ & ahistorical units. The Ark of the Covenant is prominently displayed rather than a whispered legend. All of which add to the playabilty & enjoyment. IMHO the alternate history elements of it's unique design justify it's being considered science fiction.
