*Changing How Awards Voting Works - A Proposal

[Memento Mori]

I like this idea overall but agree with 37th that setting a limit of 3 choices while using an IRV system isn't ideal. In extremely tight races it also opens up the possibility that in the final two rounds there can be ballots that aren't counted at all which may not go down with voters or the users they voted for.

A more complicated and less transparent voting system (particularly if the results aren't shown on stream as you suggested) also requires people to have more trust in the awards committee, which (of course mistakes happen and this isn't a criticism) is probably not in a great place right now with votes being displayed incorrectly on stream and I've heard from DSFL GMs that some of them received incorrect lists of nominees and their statlines.

I still prefer it to the current system even with these concerns, though.
