    Only ran one tournament this year but it was a classic, and introduced us to the Second Chance Showdown.

    Maybe 2021 will be the year for a UK/Irish Comedy stars battle royale eh ;)

    Jaysis, wasn't expecting to be in the running fot this at all, as I only had the one and it was way back at the start of lockdown (the OG lockdown that is, in March).

    Cheers again for anyone who gave me votes.

    Again, deserving winner here. My 1-2-3 were Omack, Kol and Strawbs here but definitely and completely deserving the title with some classics is our Omack.

    Here's to more in 2021!!

    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.

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

    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.

    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 :D

    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 :D

    & 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.
