Necro had a very quick Halloween Walrus too.

Slowest Walrus category will have a lot of strong contenders. :P

Necro definitely did his Halloween Walrus quicker.

I 100% had the quickest Movie Walrus though... which was 2 weeks from Sign-Ups open to Winner Revealed. Closest to that so far is about 9 months... :pac:

Ok, I'm going to take ownership of this and run it early in the New Year.

Gonna nab some of the categories from the OP, and also add my own.

Not gonna bother with stat based awards, I'll do up a little factsheet for the award ceremony though.

Only counting games which began on or after 1st January, 2020 also. Just makes it easier to define almost an entire year for the awards.

You do not have to vote for everything, if there's something you don't take part in or don't know enough about, simply leave it blank.

Electric Nitwit

This is going to take some serious thought...!

Necro

I'll pre-empt one question before it gets asked.

Yes, you can vote for yourself.

tusk

Fair play boss!

Electric Nitwit

There have been so many great games over the last year, fair play to everyone involved, and whoever created the forum games part of Boards.ie deserves a Nobel peace prize, an Oscar, a slammy award and to be named Time Person of the year.

Necro

Three sets of votes in (four including my own)

Some great choices and games selected

MS Painters need to get involved though, who was your favourite?

They've all been great, but I think there was one that stood out. I just need to go and double check it's who I think it was

What's your opinion on sharing reasons for votes on thread? Good to remind people of certain things? Or better if it's a secret ballot?

No issues with sharing reasons whatsoever, totally agree it's a good way to give people a reminder

SineadSpears

I'll vote too but I haven't read through most of them so I'll only vote for those I've been involved in.

I see a few from the list that I would have loved to be part of :

Greatest Cover song - I'll have to have a nosey of that at some stage
Eurovision song contest
Meme wars battle
Best song of the 80's
GOT Greatest Character - Joffrey!

SineadSpears

Actually I'll vote for LeVar's Stocking Filler Quickfire Walrus even though I wasnt around for it. I've read that one, & it was a great read & I like his explanations so i'll vote for it

Trigger

Tusks MSPain was the best imo, we had to paint fellow players with weird things thrown in

I'll have a look when I get a chance, no time at the mo
