Welcome once again, ladies and gentlemen, to the annual Malton Murder Awards ! The awards this year are brought to you by the city's elected mayor, Misanthropy, and will feature an all-new, star-studded panel of judges. As always, the Malties are set to be a star-studded event, celebrating the very best in sheer carnage, murder, and slaughter in the fine city of Malton. Without further ado, let's get down to business, and explain this year's changes.

First up, in order to increase the tension involved, the ballot will no longer be a simple public vote - now, a two-stage system will put in place. The first stage will follow the same format as last year, with anyone and everyone entitled to cast their votes in a public ballot on the talk page, starting from 00:00 GMT, Monday August 16th. After two weeks of balloting comes the new stage - the top three choices polled from the public vote will be our final nominations, and a panel of judges, introduced below, will cast the final decision amongst these nominees in private. The final results will be announced over Malton's emergency broadcast system on September 6th, before being posted here. This way will ensure an interesting race all the way to the finish, with no more results being telegraphed weeks in advance.

Of course, all this talk of a panel of judges would mean nothing without actually selecting a panel, so with no further ado, allow me to introduce our esteemed panel:

  • Amber Waves of Pain: Winner of last year's "Best Bounty Hunter" award, and long considered one of the finest zerg hunters in business, Amber is our representative from Red Rum and from the bounty-hunting and zerg-hunting communities.
  • Globule13: Papa of The Ridleybank Resistance Front, Malton's biggest zombie horde, Globule13 is well versed in the killing of those poor, defenceless, delicious harmanz, and is our representative from the undead walk of life.
  • Lois Millard: Chief overseer of the Rogues Gallery, and committed bounty-hunter, Lois provides an objective look at the industry from the outside, her stance offering a perfect bird's-eye-view of Malton's murdering madmen.
  • Misanthropy: Organiser of the event, and winner of last year's "Best Newcomer" award, Misanthropy is a committed killer and death cult leader, here representing the death cultist side of play, and resigned to mostly sorting out possible tie breaks.
  • The Reverend Cyanide: One of the elder Philosophes of the highly-esteemed Philosophe Knights, the Reverend Cyanide, or OV, is our most high-brow representative, and it is hoped that his Knightly temperament affords the panel a thorough, scholastic approach.

And with that out of the way, it's on to business! Remember, polling for these awards takes place on the talk page. Any further instructions can be found there. In addition, there are these nifty templates that can be used by the winners and the short-list of nominees:

Player-Killer Awards

The following awards are intended to honour the bloodthirsty, the murderous, and the downright insane - the PKer community. The awards are the bread and butter of the Malties, harking back many moons ago to their slapdash inception.
