Once again, another TA birthday rolls around(who would have thought 5 years ago that we'd even survive to be able to say another?), and once again its time for our biggest festivity of the year, the annual Most Valuable Cracker contest.
As our first half-decade in buisness comes to an end comes to an end, it's now our chance to recognize those who have given their all to Team AnandTech in this past year to make the team so sucessful, and to celebrate that sucess.
As history goes, the MVC contest was estabilished at the end of the first year year in order to honor those that put forth all the energy they could for TA; by doing such things as cracking an amazing amount of WU's for TA, organizing new members, or even someone who provides moral support; the conditions are endless. So, these people are honored by bestowing the titles of Most Valuable Cracker, and 9 other Highly Valuable Crackers.
This award(won by Smokeball last year) is handed out as early as possible on Dec. 26(upon which time voting ends); TA's birthday, to which the HVCs get a day's worth of WUs in whatever project from myself from myself(and a week's worth for the MVC), along with any other blocks that come from other member's admiration.
The rules for voting go like this: Each member of Team Anandtech is entitled to 5 votes, where none can be for themself. Each vote is fully equal, and order doesn't matter. You may vote for anyone that's a TA member, and listing a reason for that vote is reccomended, in order to get more people to vote that way.
Also, you retain the right to change your vote any time between now, and when the contest results are annouced. The person with the most votes wins the title of MVC of Year 5; whereas the 9 closest runner-ups each get the title of HVC.
Being chosen as a MVC or HVC is considered a great honor by most, so pick carefully.:Q Good luck to everyone, and here's to a happy birthday for Team Anandtech!
PS Anyone wanting to do a secret ballot can email/PM their votes to me, and I'll add them to a tally and delete the email accordingly
PPS So if Ray was already an old man 5 years ago, what does that make him now?
