Dynasty/Association of the Year 2010!

[Martti.]

DYNASTY/ASSOCIATION OF THE YEAR 2010

Yes, it's finally here! Last year's contest wasn't very popular, but with so many new stories/associations running, I hope there will be more votes this year. I think it's a good time to kick it off, because 2K11 is coming out, as is Elite 11, though it's delayed.

This year will be the same as last year in two categories - Live dynasties and 2K associations.

Rules :

* You can't vote for your own dynasty/association
* Votes will be sent to me via PM.
* Voting ends on Oct. 20
* You can vote for any active dynasty/association, last update within the last 6 months. (By the story maker, don't just bump someone's old topic to make it eligible.)
* Winner will be selected in both sections separately, after which a new poll will start to choose the overall 'Story of the Year'.
* If you only follow stories in one section, just vote for the stories in that section.

Voting will be like this in both sections :

Live Dynasties :

1st : A's Hawks (10 points.)
2nd : B's Hawks (8 points.)
3rd : C's Hawks (6 points.)
4th : D's Hawks (4 points.)
5th : E's Hawks (2 points.)
6th : F's Hawks (1 points.)

2K Associations :

1st : A's Hawks (10 points.)
2nd : B's Hawks (8 points.)
3rd : C's Hawks (6 points.)
4th : D's Hawks (4 points.)
5th : E's Hawks (2 points.)
6th : F's Hawks (1 points.)

Get voting.

The winner will get this prestigious trophy :

badreligionau - Denver Nuggets - The Next Level
Clutch - GSW 2011-12
Axel13 - Houston Rockets
Andrew - Andrew's 06 Bulls: Part 2
Phil89 - OKC dynasty
dare - Brooklyn Ballers
Azzdogs - Toronto Raptors
George7 - Chicago Bulls:Back To The Top
KidJustin - SmartDudes: Clips

Sorry to all that I overlooked. Feel free to add your own nominee suggestions.

[Axel The Great]

Wait, so we vote for 5 dynasties/associations from each section

[Lamrock]

You can vote for up to 6 for each.

[Axel The Great]

OK, thanks. I'll cast my votes now.

[Fresh8]

I hope we get more than 7 voters this year

[Andrew]

Stickied for convenience and sent in my votes. I'll put a notice up on the main page as well.

[Martti.]

Andrew, thanks a lot. Hopefully it will bring it more votes.

[dare]

Pm my votes

[The X]

My one solitary vote has been cast

[Martti.]

Thanks for voting, things have picked up compared to last year.

So far I have 13 votes for Live dynasties and 10 for Associations. (+1 for both with my votes)

Keep voting.

[Lamrock]

So who won?

[Martti.]

Sorry for the delay, I should have the results up in a few hours.

[Martti.]

Okay, so the first votes have been counted and the leader board looks like this :



So the 3 dynasties/associations with the most votes will now square off for the title 'Story of the Year', like we did last year.

So still in the running :

Martti. - Milwaukee Bucks | (Topic.)
Badreligionau - Denver Nuggets | (Topic.)
Clutch - Golden State Warriors | (Topic.)

Sit - Seattle Stealth | (Topic.)
Valor - Chicago Bulls | (Topic.)
Lamrock - Toronto Raptors | (Topic.)

I liked that there were many votes. There were a few solitary votes and many voted for on just section, so here please vote for all the stories. Just give them a glance or if you don't want to, vote however you like or not at all.

The voting is like this :

Story of the Year :

1st : A's Hawks (10 points.)
2nd : B's Hawks (8 points.)
3rd : C's Hawks (6 points.)
4th : D's Hawks (4 points.)
5th : E's Hawks (2 points.)
6th : F's Hawks (1 points.)

* You have to vote for all.
* You can vote 'til the end of October.
* Votes to me via PM.

[Martti.]

Oh yeah, I forgot. If you are one of the 6 finalists, you can vote for 1-5, leaving yours at #6. I think it's fair, just leave the #6 spot and 1 point in the air. That way there can be more voters.

[Axel The Great]

Damn, I beat Andrew's Bulls to fourth place by 1 point. Wow.

About the voting, are we ranking the 6 finalists now?

[Fresh8]

About the voting, are we ranking the 6 finalists now?

Yes.

[Martti.]

Thank you all for voting. I have about 10 voting entries and I honostly can't say who will win. Things are very competetive and that's always good. So keep voting.

[Andrew]

Sent in my votes and posted another notice on the main page.

[Martti.]

RESULTS!

Here's the voting results :



So huge congratulations to the winner - Sit!

Thank you all for voting and keep making great stories.

[Lamrock]

Congrats Sit. ALIB is truly the SITizen Kane of association stories.

[Andrew]

Congrats Sit!

[kibaxx7]

Props Sit!

[Fresh8]

THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who voted for my story. It's awesome to win it back-to-back. This year's win is better than last because I came up against some very very good competition. I didn't think I was going to repeat because truth is that I believed that Badreligionau or Martti were going to beat me. You guys have really sweet stories going and I hope they continue - you're keeping the Dynasty section alive over there.

This is a win for us 2K Association story makers. I've mentioned that Andrew should join us but I think there is some resistance. I think he will come over eventually and start a Bulls story. Props to him for keeping his Bulls going for a little while as it was one of my favorites this year. Anyway, back on topic, I think we have a thriving part of the forum and I am happy to see so many new threads pop up recently. I haven't seen this place so active in a long time. Also shoutouts to Lamrock and Valor who produced enjoyable Association stories. Lamrock, in particular, motivated me to continue A Legend Is Born III with his Craptors and Nellieball. Thanks man.

Thank you to my readers who keep following even though it has taken ages to even get through one season; even though I take month-long breaks from it; and even though the story gets boring in certain parts. I guess the only thing left to do is to finish the story off with a championship for the Seattle Stealth!

[Andrew]

Bulls 06 isn't dead just yet. I might start an Association at some point though, however I'll probably wait until the official patch comes out in late November/early December.
