[Open] First Annual FoGademy Awards - Categories!

[nothing]

Welcome welcome welcome! I'm here to announce a future event, coming to you at the end of July/start of August (dates to be decided)

The Inaugral FoGademy Awards! 

This event will have all the glitz and glam of the Oscars, without any of the inevitable cancellation of winners. 

As this event is entering its planning stage (ie has been on my mind for a few weeks), I welcome all category suggestions! I have a few in mind and will update the list below as we go, some categories will be via private vote, others will be based on game statistics. I'm keeping it to lighthearted categories. 

Nominations in each category will happen at a later date, probably late June, with PM voting open for a month or so. 

It would also be awesome to run some special exciting games around that time, but it's aaaages away yet.

I shall start my exercise regime and pick my dress. 😁😁😁

[Butty Brennan]

How about the winner of the most wooden spoons.
Or an award for mid table mediocrity: the person who has finished nearest the middle of the leaderboard most often wins.

[Leg End Reject]

What about FoG nemeses that love to hate each other? 😁

[Wichita Lineman]

There has to be a best quizzer award.

[lorcand1990]

The 'I haven't the FoGgiest' award for the biggest blunder/error?

Do we not need categories where there's some competition

Half the fun of these games is the interaction during reveals. I'm not sure how entirely, but it would good to catch that too. For example...

Playstation - Zaph

Sony-r and yet so far

That's probably covered by best reveal. The alphabet one was hilarious. 😂😂

Looking forward to these



Maybe a biggest ranter category

No Will Smith Chris Rock smackdown at these awards, all peace and love    I would wear a meat dress like Lady Gaga but I ate it so maybe a Sinitta leaf number

[jp liz v1]

I will accept my award for " stupid irritating annoying complicated werewolf villager " player

That'd be awesome, if it's not any hassle

Could be some sort of "Best Newcomer" Awards, i.e. the ones that did not come from Boards! There are a few.

What about Awards relating to the Chain Games - this is a new area that not exist in the Boards Forum Games?

Thinking about Chain Games, and a couple of people there who don't really engage with the other areas of this site, made me think that links to this thread should be placed in the various sub-forums, so that more people are aware of it. It might also encourage our quieter members to engage more with some of the other games.

Great ideas, I'll throw it up in a few places over the weekend, thanks
