Any chance you could reveal who voted for whom so we know who the egomaniacs are who voted for themselves?

I voted for Necro's Triple Threat and not my Advent Calendar. I regret everything

Congratulations to the victors.

Danke Necro and thanks to those who voted for me.

That would betray the confidence of the confessional I'm afraid. People are free to say who they voted for though if they want

tusk

GG to all.

#notbitteratall

And fair play to our resident Fairy-Godfather for actually running this

I think I probably even voted myself best MS Paint Host and I have never even played one of them...


















That's not true btw

I didn't think I'd be nominated for anything, never mind get two named placings

Many thanks to all who did, that was a very welcome surprise

Well done to all the winners, and thanks for the thread, Necro

Necro

I'm actually delighted so many different people were name checked at the very least.

There were also other really good ones that probably deserved a mention.

rainbowtrout and SM in the tourney category were brilliant earlier in the year. Then we had yozico's A Question of Sport and Video Game Alphabet Sheep from Shane U.

tusk and SnowyMay also ran brilliant MSPaint games and lettuce not forget....

Rikand.

He brought us many of these games for the first time back in 2019 and was instrumental in helping the forum to grow.


Sheep, MSPaint and Walrus were all started by himself here on Boards and I think he definitely deserves a huge amount of credit for bringing the three games (and many other derivatives) into our lives.

What I actually said in my PM to Necro about the MS Paint categories was...

MS/Paint questions can get f**ked...

No offense meant to anyone who hosts/play them by the way, was only a joke, they seem like great fun and theres a serious amount of talent involved based on the pictures I have seen from it, I just don't have the artistic abilities needed to play and haven't followed any of them to know enough who or what to vote for in the awards.

Jump into the current one as a describer. No artistic skill required, just need to be good with words... but you'll be fine

JP Liz V1

Well done Necro, bravo

I really should have voted for myself

Well done to all the winners and nominees, fcek that only the winners won the rest of us are losers

I should probably leave it until I've finished watching the 120 or so TV Shows I currently have to get through for the auld Walrus...

It would take you 30 seconds to describe it..


Though a few days of scratching your head saying what the feck first obviously

Remind me how long it took you to listen to 100 or so songs again?

I think I have 320+ episodes of TV to watch in the next month or two... There's no time Trig! There's no time!

Fair enough...

SineadSpears

Ah so many games I wasn't around for.

Still confused with all the different games & what they mean. Sheeps/peeh's. I haven't looked through them all yet to figure out what they are about.


I'm really liking the MS Paint games that I only recently discovered. Wouldn't be able to do them myself, but they look like so much fun. Fair play to everyone that took part in those ones

SHEEP is easy - most popular answer is best. Like Family Fortunes. You score a point for everyone who give the same answer as you.

PEEHS scores the same but lowest wins, so you want obscure answers. Like Pointless. More second guessing, as sometimes obvious answers score low as everyone avoids them

Both good fun, come join in
New games are flagged here

Congrats to all the winners and cheers to Necro for being a great host. Hope 2021 brings even more wonderful games from everyone here

Ah thanks for the explanation. I had seen them being mentioned but hadn't got round to checking out the games to see what exactly they meant.

I know what a spoon is though, only because I got one in a Halloween game

& thanks for the link to the new games aswel. I thought I was already following that thread but seems I'm not when I clicked into it now.
Must be my fat fingers again hitting the unfollow button at some stage :rolleyes:. No wonder I'm missing games.

Really would like to see the return of an alphabet sheep, they were great fun

Agreed, they're the truest version I think. Hard to think of categories though

Thought of (a fairly obvious) one
I'll wait until Greenie's Last Person Standing finishes then stick it up, probably a bit busy with work for the next couple of weeks anyway
