Alright everyone, it's that time of year again! Though this year, we're gonna start a little bit fresh. While I could just use the same old list of awards that I've done for the last few years, I'm going to give a week or so here for any and all revisions you want to see. Any categories you want to add? Any you want to remove? Now is the time to voice Last years awards are listed HERE, so feel free to look them over and make your decisions!
I say ditch the following awards: Best Returning Poster Most Missed Poster Best Taste in Games Worst Taste in Games Best Title Worst Title Best Signature Worst Signature Best Veteran
We could add Best/Worst GR Staff. Dan is doing so good at being the community manager, but would it be able to standoff with Nick Tan's Haiku reading?
Maybe just best. No one's doing anything bad enough to be dubbed "worst" - that would be harsh! I cant think of any awards. Include chat awards this year? Best Chatter? Since it's been more involved.
I just copied the list from the other page and added some suggestions while removing others I thought were unnecessary. Most Missed Poster Funniest Poster Most Helpful Poster Most Credited Poster Least Credited Poster Biggest Forum Contributor On Topic Award Peacekeeper Award Multiplayer Award (who you most enjoy playing together with) Topic King Postwhore Most Intelligent Posts Non Award (least intelligent posts, rarely makes sense, etc) Best Host Best Chatter (in GR Chat, as MattAY said) Best Commenter (referring to GR outside the forums) Most Improved Best Title Best Signature Text Best Signature Image Best Avatar Best Veteran I believe it's actually quite good.
These should go: Best Returning Poster Most Annoying Poster Most Missed Poster Least Helpful Poster Most Respected Poster Least Respected Poster Peacekeeper Award Topic King Postwhore Non Award (least intelligent posts, rarely makes sense, etc) Most Likely to be a Serial Killer Best Taste in Games Worst Taste in Games Best Veteran
GR has a bunch of guys with cool extracurriculars: Most Creative/Best Art or something to that effect could work
^that Best Host Best Forum Game Best Showdown Best Effort (well..at least we know this guy is trying his best)
Toss Out: Most Annoying Poster Best Returning Poster Best Taste in Games Worst Taste in Games Best Veteran Toss In: Best Topic Worst Topic Multiplayer Creativity I would like to add a set of Chatter awards some day, but I don't think enough people would vote to make it worthwhile. We could just have a Worst Chatter award to shame people, though. Always in for shaming.
I think you need to add: Best FrozenBacon The winner of that reward should get a $10,000 cash prize as well.
How awkward would it be if you didn't win it I like the suggestions so far, they capture the full essence of what awards should be: completely meaningless and just for the show. Keep em coming 8)
The best comeback kid Lots of old GR member came back this year. It would be nice if we could give them a award or something.
I think what De-Ting posted is pretty much all we need. I would, however, keep best returning poster, since we had an influx of old fogies hitting the forums again for a week or two.
