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!!

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

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!
