<h2 style="color:black">What? Why?</h2>
The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005, 13:47 EDT. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still there was only a small amount of active users. On Saturday August 11th, 2007 with a userbase finally forming, we celebrated our wiki's existence with an [[/2007|awards show]] on 30 of our favorite Mario topics, including favorite games, music, items, series, moments, enemies, and more.

Now with {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} users and counting, that time is approaching again. An amazing <u>62</u> voted on our first awards last year, but before actual voting gets underway, we need all the help we can get  &ndash; and that possibility comes with the Awards Committee.

During the Awards Show next month, the ceremony will reveal 40 award results based on these 90+ voters' opinions in a forum thread. However, to spice up the show, instead of making it plain, '''you''' get to customize 2 award results to your liking [you must be both a forum user (to actually do it in the ceremony thread) & a wiki user (to sign up here), sorry guests]. What can you do? Remember that the idea is to have an Oscar-like presentation with all the big stars (us!) who made this wiki what it is today coming. Suggestions:

*You come on the stage to announce the results, using your writing style and even having other members commenting/insulting you while giving out the nominees, even interrupting you. Here you can respond back and make a big funny script out of it.

*Have a Mario character come out to present the award (i.e. let Marioverse characters interact with us). There's some nice possibilities here &ndash; having users interrupt the character to ask it questions, for example.

There will be short 3-5 minute breaks in-between each presentation. The idea is that users can comment on the previous presentation as well as continue script ideas spurred from past presentations or even have separate scripts off-stage, perhaps in chat as well. It's all supposed to be one big party AND show both in chat and on the forum.

It's all supposed to be one big party AND show both in chat and on the forum.


As soon as all the slots are filled (but before July 19), I will not only release the order of presentations scheduled, but also privately communicate the results of the awards to the signed-up presenters. The order of presentations will be Userpedia first, then Mario, will start with U/A1 and end with U10/A30, but will be somewhat randomized, somewhat ordered so that more important awards come towards the end. Unlike last year, I will post the order also before July 19th. This way, multiple users can coordinate scripts for in-between presentations &ndash; such as a presenter being kidnapped and being missing until there is a delay, and then s/he is saved and finally presents. This also gives time to accomodate users who cannot stay the whole show (which is likely to last past 10p EDT) and make sure they present early on.
All slots have been filled. I have privately communicated the results of the awards to the signed-up presenters.

This also gives time to accommodate users who cannot stay the whole show (which is likely to last past 10p EDT) and make sure they present early on.
 
Now, finally, the sign-up. Each award can only have one presenter. Please be 100% sure you will be here for the '''entirety of the event''' before signing up. Failing to tell me in advance that you will only be here part of the time may mean a loss of the presentation, including your script, as I will do all backups and simply use a default script to present the award. Try to limit the chances that something will come up unexpected; clear your schedule, etc.
 
If a presenter realizes before results are given out that s/he cannot make it for any reason, the first on the "waiting list" (backups) will be substituted for the presenter. The backups thus have no choice in what awards they will get if they are called upon.


You may sign up for up to the number of awards in parentheses and underlined below, in the link, between the two award sets. This is first-come, first-serve. ''You may not sign anyone else up but yourself.'' A user should only not be both a presenter and a backup.
Presenters should be nearly-100% sure they will be here for the '''entirety of the event''' before signing up. Failing to tell me in advance that you will only be here part of the time may mean a loss of the presentation, including your script, and it will create a major problem for me when I have to create a script in five minutes. Try to limit the chances that something will come up unexpected; clear your schedule, etc. If a presenter finds out that being present is not a possibility, they should PM their presentations to me so I can post it for them.

VIOLATION OF THIS MUTUAL TRUST WILL LEAD TO THE STRIPPING OF YOUR PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS AND  <u>ALL</u> FUTURE AWARD SHOWS, AS WELL AS A BAN FROM BOTH FORUM AND CHAT FOR THE ENTIRE DAY OF AUGUST 8, THEREBY ELIMINATING YOU FROM THE FESTIVITIES.'''

<h2 style="color:black">Tournaments</h2>
Starting around August 8th, two tournaments for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and one ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' will be available for entry. Thus contestants can enter a total of three tournaments, however, it is not necessary for contestants to join all of them.
<showhide>__HIDER__<show>
<h3 style="color:black">Super Smash Bros. Brawl</h3>
A Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament will be taking place during the anniversary. Sign-up is welcome to anyone, although it is recommended that contestants are at least good enough to beat a level 9 computer.
The banned stages list:
*'''Rumble Falls''' [match will constantly be disrupted by moving stage; aerial attacks are given a lot more priority here]
*'''Spear Pillar''' [too many hazards]
*'''WarioWare''' (SUPERBANNED) [the mini-games have different awards like giving invincibility to some and restoring a little health to others]
*'''New Pork City''' (Team tournament only)[one on one matches will take too long because of of the stage's large size; team battle is okay since the match will be at a speedier pace]
*'''75m''' [ladders obstructs attacks, falling bumpers, and DK can do a ot of damage]
*'''Mario Bros.''' [chearacters with reflecting capabilities have the obvious advantage on this stage, since the easiest way to KO on this stage is to throw a shell/crab]
*'''Flat Zone 2''' [stage is too small]
*'''Temple (Melee)''' (Team tournament only) [one on one matches will take too long because of of the stage's large size; team battle is okay since the match will be at a speedier pace]
*'''Mushroomy Kingdom (ground)''' [KOs are much to easy to land here]
*'''Mushroomy Kingdom (underground)''' [one on one matches will take too long because of numerous blocks preventing KOs; easy KOs if on top of the bricks]
*'''Big Blue''' [moving vehicles make easy suicides]
*'''Yoshi's Island (Melee)''' [middle section is easy to fall in]
*'''Hanenbow''' [leaves absorb projectiles and attacks]
*'''Jungle Japes''' [easy to suicide in river]
*'''Port Town Aerodive''' [no ledge + car hazards are too strong]
If you want to discuss any stages that should be banned/unbanned, please say so on the talk page.
The banned items list (for Team Tournament):
*'''Containers''' [includes exploding containers, which can mess the match up]
*'''Blast Box''' [characters with fire attacks have the advantage to set this off]
*'''Maxim Tomato''' [recovery is too great and easy to get]
*'''Heart Container''' [recovery is too great and easy]
*'''Home-Run Bat''' [too strong when swung and thrown]
*'''Fan''' [Fan spamming can rack up over 50 damage]
*'''Hammer''' [too strong and disadvantageous for the user on moving stages]
*'''Golden Hammer''' [too strong and disadvantageous for the user on moving stages]
*'''Ray Gun''' [certain characters with bad recovery (e.g. Ike) can't survive against a barrage of Ray Gun shooting]
*'''Bob-omb''' [sometimes found in clusters, which can give a free KO]
The rules for the singles tournament are:
*4 stock.
*No items (including NO Smash Balls).
*Stages on the banned list cannot be chosen, if they are, the match will have to be reset. If a contestant wishes to pick a random stage without risking picking a banned stage, they must turn off the banned stages in the stage switch option.
*Win 2 out of 3 to advance to the next round.
*Contestants are not limited to one character and may change characters after each match.
*Up to two contestants can be entered from one Wii. To prevent people from creating a "back-up" contestant, the two contestants from one Wii may be tested in a standard battle to see if the other person in the tournament is real.
*If a contestant stalls the match on purpose so that he can win by having more lives than the opponent by the time the timer ends, the contestant will be disqualified.
*If lag is an issue, the match will still be continued as normal and will not be an excuse to forfeit the match. If the lag is due to a moving stage, the match can be moved to a non-moving stage for less lag.
*No illegal techniques like infinite chain grabbing or suicide win.
Although optional, matches can be viewed. This means that up to two other people will be able to watch the actual match without interfering with it. However, if the match starts to lag, we can kick the spectators out.
There is a secondary tournament, one for doubles. However, this will take place after the singles tournament and most of the rules are the same. The rules for the doubles tournament are:
*5 stock.
*All items allowed, but only on low-medium. Some items are banned and items CANNOT be turned off unless they are on the banned item list, or be put on high. Item choice has to include non-banned item in the game, no item in particular can be turned off.
*Stages on the banned list cannot be chosen, if they are, the match will have to be reset. If a contestant wishes to pick a random stage without risking picking a banned stage, they must turn off the banned stages in the stage switch option. Some of banned stages are allowed only on the team tournament.
*Contestants are not limited to one character and may change characters after each match.
*Friendly Fire is ON.
*Win 2 out of 3 to advance to the next round.
*Up to two contestants can be entered from one Wii. To prevent people from creating a "back-up" contestant, the two contestants from one Wii may be tested in a standard battle to see if the other person in the tournament is real.
*Contestants are allowed to pair up with any other contestant, as long as it is okay with both contestants. If a contestant joins the team tournament without a partner, he will paired off with another contestant based off of results in the singles tournament. However, if a contestant did not enter in the singles tournament, he or she will be pair up with another random contestant. If two contestants share the same Wii, they can also automatically join to be on the same team, although it is not required to do so.
*If lag is an issue, the match will still be continued as normal and will not be an excuse to forfeit the match. If the lag is due to a moving stage, the match can be moved to a non-moving stage for less lag.
*No illegal techniques like infinite chain grabbing or suicide win.
<h3 style="color:black">Mario Kart Wii</h3>
MarioWiki will also be hosting a Mario Kart Wii tournament. Sign-up is welcome to anyone, although it is recommended that contestants are at least good enough to race on 150cc. The rules for the racing tournament are:
*To determine who wins, there will be three races. The racers who rank lower than 8th place in the first GP will be disqualified and the racers who ranked lower than 4th place in the second GP will be disqualified. The third GP will be between four racers.  If a tie comes up in any of these matches, the racers will have to race one on one to determine the rank. If there are more than 12 contestants, another game will be made with similar rules. The winner of that game will go one on one against the winner of the first game.
*All courses are open for selection.
*If anyone is caught using cheap tactics, they will be disqualified. This specifically applies to those driving backwards to get good items and purposely mess up the race.
*Two people may enter from one Wii. However, they must be in the same race.
The MKWii tournament will be done on August 8th and the Brawl tournaments will span over a month, two weeks each. The first round of the singles tournaments starts on August 9th-August 11th, meaning the contestant's first match will have to be completed in that timeframe. The second round will be on August 11th-13th. The third round will be on August 13th-15th. The final will take place on August 16th. The team Brawl
tournaments start the day after the finals, which is August 17th. Likewise, the first round will be from August 17th-19th. Second round is 19th-21st. Team Finals will be on August 22nd.

[http://userpedia.scribblewiki.com Userpedia] is a sub-wiki of ours where many of our active users enjoy creating comics involving sprite versions of themselves or others.

What? Why?

The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005, 13:47 EDT. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still there was only a small amount of active users. On Saturday August 11th, 2007 with a userbase finally forming, we celebrated our wiki's existence with an awards show on 30 of our favorite Mario topics, including favorite games, music, items, series, moments, enemies, and more.

Now with 37,509 users and counting, that time is approaching again. An amazing 62 voted on our first awards last year, but before actual voting gets underway, we need all the help we can get – and that possibility comes with the Awards Committee.

Sign-Ups

Award Presentations

Thanks to all 93 people who voted for the Mario Awards, a 50% increase from last year, as well as 56 for the all-new Userpedia Awards!

During the Awards Show in August, the ceremony will reveal 40 award results based on these 90+ voters' opinions in a forum thread. However, to spice up the show, instead of making it plain, you get to customize 2 award results to your liking [you must be both a forum user (to actually do it in the ceremony thread) & a wiki user (to sign up here), sorry guests]. What can you do? Remember that the idea is to have an Oscar-like presentation with all the big stars (us!) who made this wiki what it is today coming. Suggestions:

  • You come on the stage to announce the results, using your writing style and even having other members commenting/insulting you while giving out the nominees, even interrupting you. Here you can respond back and make a big funny script out of it.
  • Have a Mario character come out to present the award (i.e. let Marioverse characters interact with us). There's some nice possibilities here – having users interrupt the character to ask it questions, for example.
  • Create a comic to present the results, using whatever sprites you want, user or real, possibly incorporating the ideas above. This is particularly desirable for Userpedia Awards.

You may do anything you want, not limited at all to the above, but please try to do something, and not be just plain. You should at least give out the nominees and have something like "The WINNER is..." and a few line breaks down for suspense (not too much).

There will be short 3-5 minute breaks in-between each presentation. The idea is that users can comment on the previous presentation as well as continue script ideas spurred from past presentations or even have separate scripts off-stage, perhaps in chat as well. It's all supposed to be one big party AND show both in chat and on the forum.

All slots have been filled. I have privately communicated the results of the awards to the signed-up presenters. The order of presentations will be Userpedia first, then Mario, will start with U/A1 and end with U10/A30, but will be somewhat randomized, somewhat ordered so that more important awards come towards the end. This also gives time to accommodate users who cannot stay the whole show (which is likely to last past 10p EDT) and make sure they present early on.

Presenters should be nearly-100% sure they will be here for the entirety of the event before signing up. Failing to tell me in advance that you will only be here part of the time may mean a loss of the presentation, including your script, and it will create a major problem for me when I have to create a script in five minutes. Try to limit the chances that something will come up unexpected; clear your schedule, etc. If a presenter finds out that being present is not a possibility, they should PM their presentations to me so I can post it for them.

TERM OF AGREEMENT: YOU ARE BY SIGNING UP FOR ANY AWARD OR BACKUP ROLE ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY AGREE TO NOT RELEASE ANY RESULTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNTIL IT IS TIME TO PRESENT. VIOLATION OF THIS MUTUAL TRUST WILL LEAD TO THE STRIPPING OF YOUR PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS AND ALL FUTURE AWARD SHOWS, AS WELL AS A BAN FROM BOTH FORUM AND CHAT FOR THE ENTIRE DAY OF AUGUST 8, THEREBY ELIMINATING YOU FROM THE FESTIVITIES.

Userpedia Awards

Userpedia is a sub-wiki of ours where many of our active users enjoy creating comics involving sprite versions of themselves or others. Encyclopedia speaking, it is a wiki covering this wiki, but articles about users, important pages and the like have additional details added to them to give Userpedia itself a whole different feel than MarioWiki. It is closing in on 2000 articles.

Userpedia is included as a separate, smaller sub-set for this year's awards, as long as it is all in good fun, without any competition between the creators of the nominated works whatsoever.

ChaosNinji (talk) led the AC to form the awards for this subsection.
