Yesterday, I had this idea:

This got me thinking of something: we could start some sort of annual Atlas awards for timelines with judges, nominations, and winners. Like, best timeline, best election timeline, best unfinished timeline, most realistic and unrealistic timelines, etc. The winner can, idk, feel good about themselves or something. And get their username and timeline in a special thread on Election What Ifs.

And I think it's a pretty good idea, and the one person who responded agreed:


I decided to start a poll to gauge support for the idea. So, should this happen? Or should it not? I will start planning these awards if there is strong support (more than 2/3 yes) according to this poll.

I would support going forward with this even if a majority of voters in the poll voted No.

If I don't win "most irrelevant poster" then this idea is a failure

It's a sad state of affairs when this forum is so full of newbies that they don't realize we've been doing this at the end of each year for nearly a decade.  Sad

I knew about them, I just didn't realize they were still a thing. I stand corrected.

Actually the idea is bit different from the Atlas Awards we know and love. It is for timelines only.

I wasn't aware there were already awards. (When are they?) But yeah, I was thinking of one for just timelines.
