Board Thread:Townie of the Month/@comment-24675428-20161229192644/@comment-30105631-20161230053104

I oppose this change.

There's a reason it's called "Townie of the month", and not "Townies of the month". The award goes to the one, single person that was good enough to win, and good enough to earn that title.

If we added this, it cheapens the victory for the actual winner and embitters the runner-up, because Co-townie of the month is essentially a glorified participation award.

And the influx of voters and people means that more people are thinking more people deserve ToTM, which is good, not bad.

Here's how I would nerf the whole scenario: You may vote for yourself, but you may not nominate yourself. Someone else must do that for you.

Anyway, if Addfire wins (which he probably will) I don't want the Co-Townie Of the Month award. Addfire will have earned it in that case, and it's not fair that I would get a medal too, the same way it's not fair if the situation is reversed. ToTM is for the one person who was good enough to earn it, not the multiple people.

Anyway, that's just my two cents.
