Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, it’s that time of the year. The time we reflect back on the year in gaming and fight over which games have been the best games to come out. And this year we’ll be doing it properly. There are rules and prizes and streamers and emojis and everything!!!
Last year we had two threads and polls to determine what was the best game of the year. This year we will have many threads, and many categories to choose from. And there is a competition! So let’s get into the rules and mechanics of this year’s voting:
The Structure
From next week, threads will be made for every category, and I would like everyone to nominate their favourite per each category. If a category doesn’t get 4 or more nominations, I will add nominations from the list of 2018 games based on Metacritic scores. This will ensure that each category will have at least 4 games to choose from.
Nominations will be open for a week, after which the results will be tallied and the voting threads will be created. These threads will again be open for a week, and everyone must vote on their favourite in each category.
The Categories
The categories chosen are:
- Best Game Released on Xbox One for 2018
- Best Game Released on PlayStation 4 for 2018
- Best Game Released on Switch for 2018
- Best Game Released on PC
- Best Game Released on Mobile
- Best Multiplayer Game of the Year
- Best Story in a game
- Best Indie Game of the Year
- Most Disappointing event/game of the year
- Best Game you played this year
- Most Epic Game of the Year
Categories are open for discussion and change, but this weekend the final version will be set for the threads next week.
The Competition
One lucky member of the forum will win a copy of one of the Most Epic Games of the Year nominees. The winner will be able to choose from any one of the final nominees in this category and receive a copy of that game on the platform of their choice.
To stand a chance at winning this prize, you have to:
- Have at least one post in each of the nomination and voting threads that will be created.
- Vote in each of the polls that will be created.
The members that successfully quality will go into a random draw that will be adjudicated by an independent source.
So post your comments and amendments to the rules or categories in this thread. All active members of the forum are welcome to participate, with only one exception, me. As the organiser, I shall not be in line for the prize.
