[Closed] First Annual FoGademy Awards - Nominations

[nothing]

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.

[nothing]

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

That's ok, it was my mistake!

[Necro]

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 😂
