Best Bankstanding

Some people are strange to the outside world of RuneScape, and even get lost when walking from Lumbridge to Draynor. But put them in any bank within RuneScape, and they can tell you all about its history, how many windows it has, what the names of the bankers are and who often visits them. That's simply because these people are almost living in banks.

This is the only nominee for this category:
@Lady Spyra (RSN: Lady Spyra)

Since there only is 1 nominee, no voting is needed to see who wins this award

Best AFK’er

Some people are great at multitasking and do other stuff while playing RuneScape. Others... not so much. It's time to nominate those of us who are great at being bad at multitasking and who AFK a lot.

FAQ

1. how can I vote?

You can vote for each category in the "Annual Surreal Awards" forum located in the "Information and News" section. Alternatively, you can follow this link http://board.clansurreal.com/forum-200.html or click on the links mentioned at each category.

2. How many awards can one person win?

A single clan member can be nominated for as many award categories as there are available, however, they may only win a maximum of three awards. If at the end of voting, they have won more than three awards, then they will win the categories that they received the most votes for. In the other categories, the member with the next highest number of votes will then take the award.

3. What happens if there is a tie in the voting between a number of members?

If a tie occurs, then the members involved in the tie will all receive an award. There will be no tie breaks.

4. Do I have to vote?

Voting is completely optional, just like nominating was. We will not force you to vote. These awards are simply so you can place your support behind your fellow clan-mates in the hope that they'll perhaps get the recognition they deserve.

5. May I vote for myself?

Yes, you may vote for yourself (because let's be honest, everyone votes for themselves right?).

6. Until what date can we vote?

You'll be able to vote until 15 Januari 2017 12am GMT.
The results of the voting will be posted about 2 hours later on 15 January 2017 around 2am GMT.
