simply democratic vote.
There is no need for ''experts'' to decide whats ''good''.
Community knows for themselves what is good.
As for the award itself, i think there should be different category awarded on the whole year.
For example:
-Best Total Conversion of the year
-Best gameplay mod of the year
-Best speedmapping mapset of the year
-Best music pack of the year
-Best music/map conbination of the year
-Best map of the year.
-Best megawad of the year (15 or more maps)
-Best Episode of the year (8 to 14 maps)
-Best miniwad of the year (2 to 7 maps)
-Best joke map/mapset of the year
-Best serious joke map/mapset of the year. (
examples of serious joke mapsets)
-best slaugther map/mapset of the year
And then other categories like:
-''It could be great but...'' award.
Most promising project that for some reason doesn't delivered as intended.
-Mapper of the year
-Artwork of the year (made for a project)
-best program/code of the year
-most promising newcomer
-most entertaining demo of the year (demo recording for Doom)
-Justin Fisher award for the project that changed Doom soo much that is almost unrecognizable
And all the runners up voted for every category.
Now, The votes should be simple:
Everyone can vote for what they want, but no duplicated votes will be counted.For example, i can vote for GOTTAGOFAST and Auger;Zenith for best speedrunning mapsets.
I can vote Auger;Zenith for best megawad.
So yeah, you can vote for the same project on different categories.
And instead of having multiple post per voter (and to solve the possibility of someone accidentally duplicating their vote for the same project on the same category), we should totally edit our post whenever we want to add new vote for a project or category.
Nominations should be simply noted with
+1 to X project for best X categoryThat way, when we do the recount of votes at the end of the submitting period, everything will be visible for everyone.
If someone edits the post after the submitting period, it is visible for everyone. So there is almost no way to get fooled here.
If everyone is right with that, or wants to add or say something about what i posted, please do, as its better to reach a consensus than have arbitrary decisions.
