I think my main problem is Parvini, your making out like this is a replacment OG...again.
I'm not doing that at all, I was just basing the structure of the awards on the OG awards from last year
as a starting point. Just for the record, I don't think this is a replacement for OG at all, but I do acknowledge that many of the members here were once of OG - we can all agree on that right? The idea of a "best newbie" were people who came to this site without really being part of the old OG community - I think that is what Chroelle was trying to get at.
Anyway - I agree with the general sentiment that the awards should be a fun thing and less people centric - I know the site IS young but I am thinking of establishing a tradition here at the end of our first year - I thought "Lifetime Achievement" sounded a little odd when I was typing it - so, without further ado let me unveil my
new list based on feedback. I think about 10-12 awards is enough:
Most Drunken Bar Award [for poster most seen freuqenting the bar]
Best "Newbie" [details above]
Best Thread (games-related)[thread starter collects award]
Best Thread (non-games related) [thread starter collects award]
Worst Thread (any) [thread starter collects award]
Best Game (on Site) [user who submitted collects award]
Best Linked Game (on forum) [user who submitted collects award]
Smilie of the Year [I suspect we'll be seeing a certain green ballon

]
Most Entertaining Single Post
Outstanding Contribution Award [for the member who has done most for the site]
Is this starting to look a bit more fun and something we could all have a little excitement about?
You can start discussing your nominations right away:

I have left space for 2 more awards which can be added later, if people have any further awards they'd like to see.
