I don't know if it has been said here or anywhere, but I beleive that the awards management have learned from the issues raised by "the Shackled City incident" and that the new goal is to avoid further events like that because of the negative press it produces.At the same time, providing a hard and fast rule on how this will work would only provide a tool to rules lawyers to figure out how to get around it.. . .That said, the issue where Dextra and Razyr seem to be having problems isn't the rules and intent of the awards, but the seeming need to distance the awards from ENWorld. As the marketing guy working with the awards now, I am privy to a lot of inside information that I am not yet at liberty to discuss (mainly because the business manager of the ENnies is not available for me to talk to at this time as she is with our eldest daughter at dance class).But allow me to state flat-out: The intent as far as I can see it this year is to try to avoid a similar situation as "the Shackled City incident" last year. However, there is no intent to distance the awards any further from ENWorld than they already are. By breaking the branding between the awards and ENWorld, then the owner of the brand is destroying all the work that has gone into strengthening the brand name through the site and awards.</blockquote>
