    With the massive increase in game types and volumes, I thought it would be a good idea to follow in the footsteps of the Wolfies and set up an annual awards doohickey for non-werewolf games!

    Would love to get some input from the community as to what awards categories we could have!

    Some ideas so far...


    vote based

    Best New Game Type

    Best Host/s

    Best Overall Game

    Best New Mechanic in a Game

    Best Wrong Answer in a Game

    Best Play in a Codenames Game

    Best Picture/Description in a MSPAINT Game



    Stat based

    Most Players in a Game

    Largest Post Count in a Game

    Biggest Win Margin

    Biggest Loss Margin

    Most Wins

    Most Wooden Spoons


    When we've a good base of categories and had a bit of input I'll set up the submission form :D

    Also, suggestions for names are most welcome... Best I've come up with is the Gamesies :pac:

    I'd like a Tusk award.

    Criteria: taking ages to get round/game to start/progress

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    We'll close this out on Friday Night. So get your suggestions in by then if you have any.

    Following that, we'll be looking for nominations and once they're finalised, we'll open the voting :)

    What sort of categories would people want for the other games in the Forum?

    Best Sheep, Best Walrus, Best Tournament, Best Other Game?

    Best Overall Game?

    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:
