Smallish reminder that it's for the noobs from the 2019 noob game up to the last game on the list. Last year I had two on there and it really watered down the voting directions.

Oh my bad, I thought the 2019 game was on last year and this year it would be for the 2020 noobs. Getting old and forgetting stuff.
 
When we get to voting it's gonna be really hard to choose between pip's translations of AM's french and this masterpiece for best quote

Oh no no no, it's much more complex than that.

(Sega) Genesis 1
In the beginning, STL created WW. And WW was without flavor, and mechanics; and abandonment was upon the face of the forum. And the Spirit of STL moved upon the face of the pre-vet forum.

And STL said, "Let there be heavy mechanics", and there was heavy mechanics. And STL saw the heavy mechanics, that it was good: and STL divided the heavy mechanics from the simple strategy. And STL called the heavy mechanics "roles", and the simple strategy he called "vanilla." And the abilities and the vanillas were made the first day.

And STL said, "Let there be a separation in the midst of the forum, and let it divide the mod from the players."And it was so. And STL called the separation "modchat." And modchat and dubz were added the second day.

And STL said, "Let the forum under the modchat be gathered together unto one place, and let the thread appear." And it was so. And STL called the thread "signups" and the gathering together of the numbers called he "groups." And STL saw that it was good.

And STL said, "Let WW bring forth players, the meat of the game, yielding many shocking and humorous interaction yet to come, who vote is in itself, upon the thread." And it was so. And STL saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And STL said, "Let there be game thread in WW to divide the casual chat from the gameplay; and let them be for tagged, for vote cycles, kill cycles, and twilights: And let them be for modposts in WW to give guidance upon the thread." And it was so. And STL made two great cycles; the vote cycle to rule the Day, and the kills cycle to rule the Night: he made [insert] closed; results pending also. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the life from the death: and STL saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And STL said, "Let there be dds, and every dry pun and quick jip that he may utter, will have the thread reacting with likes and support: and STL saw that it was good. And STL blessed him, saying, "Be active, and fill pre-vet with Lounge strategy." And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And STL said, "Let WW bring forth Paws after his kind, with wolf sweeping, and every powervillaging strategy." And it was so. And STL saw that it was good.

And STL said, "Let us make Mel in my image, after my likeness: and let him have dominion over the noobs of the winter, and over the veterans of the past, and over the cows, and over all WW, and over every cow that launches in the thread." So STL created Mel in his own image, in the image of STL created he him; cheezit and axolotl created he him.

And STL saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were Night 0 and Sega Day 1.

Choose your own might get a game design nom from me but I really need to refresh my memory on these and the 2018 ones. You know. In all my free time.

My quick summary of Choose Your OWWn at least from my POV - Factions game, SAR signals to you that I’m her Mason partner, people start thinking something nefarious is going on between SAR and you, we become Lovers, and are stuck in end game with Sporty and Sunbodi. Paranoia ensues...

Maybe that jogs some memory but maybe not about game design.

Hahahha I had completely forgotten about the mason/lover situation! Man that was a good game. I was thinking about nominating for game design because of the picking your own role bit. Creative and a headache to make sure it ended up balanced (as we saw with the re-rolls lol)
 
Any ideas for the Oddly specific award(s) for rare events category? (it needs at least two nominations to get on the final vote list)

I was thinking possibly wolves (Alissa and Doggo) in Milkshakes getting village reads for most of the game because of the early wolf bus D1.

I’m quite fond of this game. Particularly that time I spent a few hours combing the thread page by page for analysis and I think I used it to frame sporty lol
 
Can we nominate folks for awards that they won last year? Or is it a "once in a lifetime" kind of thing?
