Welcome to the nominations stage for the first annual FoGademy awards!
I'm a little behind on this, so I'll be taking nominations for approx 2 weeks, followed by a week of voting, aiming for last week of August to reveal!
Here's the plan...
I'll post a list of categories each evening and then you can nominate up to 3 users/posts/games via PM for each category.
You can nominate in any and all categories for the next fortnight (it doesn't have to be the same day as I post the list).
Just figured it'll be less overwhelming for both me and you guys to do it a little at a time.
Tonight, I'm looking for nominations in the General/Overall section
PM me up to 3 choices for each category, you can nominate yourself if you wish, no one will see your nominations except me. You don't have to nominate for every category. The shortlist for voting will be curated from these nominations.
1. Best Reveal
2. Best New Game Format
3. Best Wooden Spoon Collection
4. The Mid Table Mediocrity Award for The Most Average Player
5. Most Exciting Rivalry
6. The "I Haven't The FoGgiest" Award for Unintentional Mistake
7. Best Pun Comment During A Reveal
8. Most Popular Game
9. Best Host
10. The Award for Game we Thought Would Never Be Revealed [formerly Slowest Reveal]
11. In Memorium - the players we lost in The Great Boards Migration
Edit - just realised I don't need nominations for 2 categories, they'll be based on forum stats

Don't worry, it'll be pulled from game stats!
I copied and pasted the categories into my reply so answered the 2 omitted ones! 😂

I did the same thing, be interested to see if my nominees correlate with the stats for that one though or if it's only my own bias 😂

I'm really enjoying all the nominations that have come in so far, some fantastic momemts and games.
And now, an actual deadline, I'll be taking nominations until Saturday 6th August, and voting will kick off on Monday 8th August for about a week, and aiming for reveal the following week!
Oh! There are other awards that don't require nomination and I'll be keeping those quiet until reveal night
I've missed loads of games here and some I just don't play so I will get in whatever votes I can in the next few days.

In regard to werewolf I'll happy accept the oddest weirdest dumbest idiotic style player on behalf of myself and @

No wrong answers at all, and just pick and choose from the ones you're familiar with. If you don't play certain games, just ignore it
2 more days to get nominations in - pick as many or few questions, up to 3 nominations for each, via PM please
Last day for nominating, don't let yoir favourite game/host/player miss out!
Officially closed.... Unofficially, I won't get to putting it together for voting until Wednesday, so feel free to pop more nominations my way in the mean time!
Apologies, depression is being a right jerk and holding things up
