The nomination process for the 2021 Combies was held from December 19, 2021 to January 12, 2022, where server members could nominate people, posts and server bits for the available categories. The voting process for the 2021 Combies was held from January 12 to January 20, 2022, using a Google Form to gauge the public opinion and determine the final winners. The First Annual Combies Ceremony was held on January 30, 2022, live on [twitch.tv/honiemun Twitch] (and optionally, on a Discord voice call) - wherein the host, using a custom-made Vtuber avatar for the ocassion, would present each category with a specially edited nominees video and present the final winners on a virtual stage.

An unedited version of the VOD was made public the following day, and a cut version went live on February 1, 2022, with technical errors patched out.

Trivia

 * The High Effort Twitter/F-List Account that Flew Under the Radar category appeared on the Nominate and Vote section of The Combies, but was left in the cutting room floor for the final ceremony - both due to time constraints, and because the host wasn't in touch with Twitter roleplaying at the time.


 * The Best Feminist award was an inside-joke created by Gary, and a good part of the reason why The Combies were created in the first place.


 * The bulk of the visual assets for the event were created in the last four days. The Honie V-tuber avatar took a day and a half to create, without counting previous prototypes.
