2020 Forum Games Awards Ceremony

Necro

Welcome one, welcome all - roll up roll up for the first ever Annual Forum Games Awards!!

We have had the Wolfies in previous years, but other games on the Forum have now gained significant traction that an awards ceremony is overdue.

What better way to kick off 2021 than with a celebration of the best, the most amazing... and of course, the slowest games of the previous 12 months.

So grab yourself a beer or warm beverage. Add some junk food or maybe some healthy snack.

Kick back and relax as from 8pm this evening the results will be revealed in the below categories:

Best New Game Type
Award for 'They Really Need to Spend more time Offline'
Best MS Paint Host
Slowest Reveal
Best Picture/Description in a MSPAINT Game
Best Walrus/Surlaw (of those completed as of 19/12/20)
Best Sheep/Peehs/other derivative Game
Best Forum Game Tournament:
Best Sheep/Peehs/other derivative Host
Best Tournament Host
Best Overall Game

See you all then!!

I must get my designer gown on and all glamed up for my sitting room red carpet

You mean I won't get a trophy in the post?

Necro

Ok I'm freed up a bit earlier than expected.


Gonna set up my trusty Word Document and spreadsheet and be back in two shakes of a Forum Games Sheep's tail.


In other words....

Necro

Necro

Ok. First Award incoming

Best New Game Type

Necro

In FIFTH Place with 17 points

SURLAW

I don't quite know what a SURLAW is, so here's a picture of an upside down Walrus

Necro

Moving to the podium next and

In JOINT THIRD Place with 18 points EACH

Reberetta’s Countdown: Greatest 50 Albums

https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058115789


Very well deserved for Reberetta here. Excellently ran and created discussion on the topic for a couple of weeks post reveal. Kudos Reb!!

AND



Movie Walrus

Also impressive considering there was only two games of this completed this year. Well done to LeVar, and also MicksJaguar and Kolido who created the concept - and eventually finished their reveal a year later

Necro

In SECOND Place with 24 Points

Picture Peehs/Sheep

A concept that continues to this day, very tight in the voting in the end between this and the winner. Electric Nitwit, Homer J. Fong and Reberetta among others I believe have run very enjoyable games through this format.

Well done folks!

Necro

And the winner of the Best New Game Type for 2020...





In FIRST Place with 28 Points

Quickfire Walrus

Started in Halloween by yours truly, LeVar brought it to another level with a Christmas Quickfire Walrus.

Who's running the Valentine's Day one

Necro

Coming up next... one of the first personal awards of the year. And one whether I'm not sure if it's a compliment or insult to be voted for in :pac:


It can only be

Award for ‘They Really Need to Spend More Time Offline’

Kolido

Well done lads, a great idea indeed.

Also Starring LeVar Burton
