Forum:Robot Wars Wiki's Favourite Robot

To celebrate the upcoming fifth anniversary of Robot Wars Wiki on February 18, 2013, I am running a competition to determine which is the wiki's favourite robot. The contest will take the form of a 16 robot knockout tournament decided by a series of polls, hosted on the main page in place of the regular polls. The competition will start on January 1, 2013 and end on the day of the anniversary, with each poll lasting for three days.

Before the tournament can begin, the 16 robots must be decided. Each user who wishes to participate should nominate up to 10 robots in order of preference. Each user's top choice will receive 10 points, down to 1 point for each user's 10th choice. The 16 robots with the most points will contest the tournament, with seedings determined by number of points for each. If there is a tie for the final place(s), then a preliminary round will be held to determine which robot(s) will take part.

Users who wish to nominate their favourite 10 robots should create a new header with their name, and their nominations in order of preference. Robots may be from any version of Robot Wars, but must have at least one televised appearance. Different versions of the same robot will not be counted separately. For example, if someone nominates Plunderbird 2 and someone else nominates Plunderstorm, they will both be counted as Plunderbird. In order to take part, users must have at least 100 edits in mainspace and filespace combined and must have joined the wiki before December 1, 2012. This is to ensure that only true contributors to the wiki take part, and that users don't create new accounts to vote multiple times. Users who are known to have multiple accounts may only vote with one. To check how many mainspace and filespace edits you currently have, enter your username at Special:Editcount. Users are asked to sign their nominations with four ~ signs to make it easier to check their credentials. Nominations will be open for three weeks, and will close on December 22, 2012.

Hopefully that covers everything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on my talk page. Christophee (talk) 13:40, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
