The Rules

You may not vote for your own guides if they are nominated.
Due to an increase in nomination votes from accounts that have no forum history, it has been decided for the sake of fair competition that any user who would like to vote must have a forum account age older than 3 months and have at least 4 posts older than November 1st, 2021 in the forum to be valid.
Only guides published between January 1st and December 31st, 2021 were handpicked and selected by staff in the chosen list.
Only guides in the nominations of this thread qualify. Please do not vote for anything not in the nominees list.
The voting thread will be closed after two weeks. The top three guides of each category, and the top three guides overall, will determine the winners of each of the categories and the overall GOTY winner.
Staff member guides are not eligible to win the GOTY. However, Co-op guides with staff members will be eligible. In case a co-op guide ends up in the top 3, the non-staff writer will get the whole prize.
In case a guide has more than 1 writer, the prize will be split between all guide contributors, so long as they contributed a meaningful amount to the guide. We track all edits, so this will be checked.
All participants must give only 1 GOTY recommendation and 2 selections for every category above. If you do not cover these two requirements, your votes will not be counted.
- Three random users with a valid vote will earn a $25 reward this year!
