Award Voting

That's a wrap on the final season of the 2024 Year. Thank you all for participating in the Spring '24 season and all our other competitions over the past 12 months. Rounding out the year we'll be conducting our seasonal voting for both Highlander and Sixes. Voting is open from now until the 31st of December 2024 at 11:59pm AEDT. Votes need to be submitted by Team Captain's who team's competed in the Spring '24 Highlander & Sixes seasons.

For those who are new or unfamiliar to voting any and all information regarding the process can be found in the links below but to summaries it for all who may be curious;

Team captains vote for players who competed in their teams division for certain categories in which players are nominated in. From left to right players voted will receive 3, 2 and 1 points with the player with the most points receiving the award. All categories require 3 votes with teams and team captains being prohibited from voting for players who were rostered on their team. Votes only need to be done for the division you and your team competed in.

Votes are to be submitted to myself via my discord linked in the threads below.

Award Nominations for Spring '24 are Live!

As Summer begins our Spring '24 season draws to a close and both Sixes and Highlander Award Nominations are now open. Threads for team captains to submit their roster's Award Nominations are linked below. If you need any assistance in this process please reach out to your Division Administrators for help. Award Nominations will close on Sunday the 8th of December at 11:59pm AEDT 2024.

If this is your first time submitting Award Nominations there are some guidelines and information below to keep in mind:

• Only one of the captains on your roster needs to submit your team's nominations. We expect most teams usually discuss who they want to nominate for what award. Please note, you can only nominate your teammates for an award, voting will come after all nominations are submitted.
• Failure to submit both nominations and votes for your team this season will result in players not being eligible for in-game medals.

Account Transfers

Over the last couple of years, ozfortress has sparingly transferred or changed the Steam account connected to an ozfortress account in various instances. This process is entirely manual and is also not an established procedure within our ruleset. This was originally our intention, to keep the process undocumented, and apply it rarely as it is an entirely manual and tedious process. However, this has caused understandable confusion - confusion we could have avoided easily by documenting the process.

Full unban: submarine/hands

If you aren't entirely sure what we're on about, raving like boomers, well we have egg on our faces. We recently issued an Alternate Account ban to submarine/hands, of which we had solid evidence, but later found during their appeal that they had contacted a past administrator who simply forgot to bring their request for an account transfer forward to the rest of our team. At the end of the day, it happens, this time it just happened to happen when everyone would have least wanted it to happen. As such, this player has been unbanned.

The original ban post has also now been edited to reflect this.

3.3.1. Account Transfers

What was made clear is the purposeful obfuscation of the process is detrimental, so we've added a public account transfer process (and even a rule to the Global Ruleset: 3.3.1. Account Transfers) to prevent any future confusion. For now, there are no listed conditions that need to be met or any other stipulations - but this will change post-season. Traditionally, account transfers have been reserved for cases of players losing access to their main Steam account (the one connected to their ozfortress.com account), and we don't expect this to change, but we're open to feedback like always. To be clear, the use of Alternate Accounts, or sharing of another user account (Account Sharing) is strictly prohibited and always will be.
