Game of the Year

[Raw!]

2007 is coming at an end, and I heard? that LiNuX is making me a trial moderator and I'll be moderating the General Gaming, and Fighting & Action, I'd like to setup a little Gamers Forum "game of the year" contest. Tell me if you like, and then we will go with the plan. So my plan is, at the end of the year, or even couple of months, we will hold a "Gamers Forum: Game of the Year." Now before we get to the voting part, we need to nominee some games. So let's say I nominee game #1 and that is.. Halo 3. (I picked randomly) I put in Halo 3 as one of the nominee's. Now, you may only enter 20 games. That means, if you have entered one, you can't enter another. Okay, so person 1 entered Halo 3, Halo 3 is now on my list. NOW, when that list reach's 20, I will begin the "Elimination Round," that means you have to vote. And the 4 lowest scoring games are out of here. So we come down to 16. Then we have Division 1, which has 8, and Division 2 which has 8, in those divions only 8 games from both come out. Now we begin the pre-semi-finals, where 4 games out of those 8 will lose and be eliminated. NOW, we begin the semi finals, and once two of those games lose. So let's say Halo 3, Crysis, DiRT, God Of War 2, are in, and DiRT and Halo 3 lose, Crysis and GoW2 face off in the finals. AND THIS THEN DETERMINES THE GAME OF THE YEAR FOR LET'S SAY 2007. If you like my idea, vote yes, if you don't, vote no. Thank you.

NOTE: IF A POLL DOESN'T COME OUT, JUST SAY YES OR NO. THANK'S FOR READING.

[Blackbird]

That's is a great idea but we have to wait for Linux and let him answers on this treads. But I'm vote for a yes. :D

[Raw!]

Great. I agree, if only LiNuX can make like a little section for this. That would be great.

[Scott]

Why are we nominating games and all that can't you just start a poll with this years 10 best games in it?

[Raw!]

See, that way it won't be official. I mean sure, I can start a poll with my opinions on the 10 best games but that would be mine. I want to do something different, I want your opinion on the best game for 2007. It is much funner and better to have something like this take place, then something like start a poll throw in 10 games by your view that are the best and have people vote.

[Scott]

I usually make a poll with 12 options: 3 games from each of the consoles, 3 multi format and other lol

[Toxic]

I usually make a poll with 12 options: 3 games from each of the consoles, 3 multi format and other lol

You can only have 12 options in a poll.

[Scott]

You can only have 12 options in a poll.

When you're a mod you can make a poll as big as you want lol

[Raw!]

If that is the case I will have to split the topics up.. Yeah, I'll split em' up with 2 topics, one having 10 and same with the other. Scott, you aren't seeing the point here, I hosting a more "official" Game Of The Year. I am having opinions from different people.

Yeah I get it.... Last site I was on I tried something like that but nobody was voting in the polls so we made 1 HUGE poll with something like 30 options.

[Toxic]

Yes I like the idea.

[Raw!]

Great, all I need is LiNuX's approval.

[Scott]

Great, all I need is LiNuX's approval.

I don't think Linux will have a problem with it

[Raw!]

Alright, so, I am still waiting for LiNuX, uuh, I guess we will start with the nomination's. BEGIN?

[Toxic]

Alright, so, I am still waiting for LiNuX, uuh, I guess we will start with the nomination's. BEGIN?

Well Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy gotta be in it

[Raw!]

But I can only put on the list one. So which one are you choosing Toxic?

[Blackbird]

What about Naruto Rise of Ninja (X-box 360)?

[Raw!]

I don't know who is voting no on this and isn't saying it.
Guys, listen, what you are basically doing is going

" I nominee the game game goes here" you aren't allowed to nominate more than 1.

[KittyCat72]

I like the idea; if we get to do it I nominate Metroid Prime 3: Corruptions. (so I guess Toxic has Super Mario Galaxy)

[Raw!]

Alright. Here is my list thus far.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption -KittyCat72

[Strickin]

You should split them up by console, then have them vote the best out of that, kind of like a chain thingy? Anywho, I vote for Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360 if we can nominate yet...

[Raw!]

Nah. Nice idea though Strickin.
------------------------------------
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption -KittyCat72
Assassin's Creed -Strickin
------------------------------------
Personally, I don't know yet what I am going to nominate.
(by the way, the game has to be one that HAS been released already, not one that is coming)

[Strickin]

I'm just wondering, because I'm sure this might come up some time...but are people allowed to change what they nominated?

[Raw!]

Oh, nice question. Um.. YES, as long as you change it within 2 hours. In this case, you are allowed.

Edit: can you please keep updating the list? Like if I'm in school, can someone update it for me? thanks.

[Strickin]

Ill try if I can...I can get on the forums during school now that I have a new trimester woot!

[Raw!]

thanks. i'm hoping to capture another 18 during this week.

--------------------------------------
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption -KittyCat72
Assassin's Creed -Strickin
--------------------------------------

[Toxic]

Ok then I vote for Metroid Prime.

Lol who all is voting no?... don't just post tell us why too people!!

[Raw!]

Lol, Toxic, we aren't voting yet. I need 18 more games to start that. So yeah.

[Scott]

Ok then I vote for Metroid Prime.

Lol who all is voting no?... don't just post tell us why too people!!

Lol clearly you never read through the thread. MP was nominated and you've still to nominate a game

[conman1000]

Ok then, I nominate the game Madden '08

[Raw!]

----------------------
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption -KittyCat72
Assassin's Creed -Strickin
Madden 2008 -conman1000
----------------------

By the way, the nomination has to be a game you have played.

[Toxic]

Lol clearly you never read through the thread. MP was nominated and you've still to nominate a game

Oh **** yea i only read the post about how i couldnt nominate both. well i nominate super mario galaxy

[OneArmProdigee]

I think this is indeed a very good idea and I'll definatly vote YES!

[Toxic]

I think this is indeed a very good idea and I'll definatly vote YES!

Well why not nominate a game :D

[Raw!]

Alright, thank you guys for supporting me, here are the nominee's. DRUM ROLL PLEASE.
---------------------------------------
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption -KittyCat72
Assassin's Creed -Strickin
Madden 2008-conman1000
Super Mario Galaxy -Toxic
------------------------------------

Good, now we have 4, 16 more to start the elimination's.

[Scott]

I'm waiting for other people to nominate. I'm not going to nominate Bioshock so that someone else can say they were going to then they go and nominate a really awful game.

Hey btw shouldn't you have a limit to the amount of games from each console in the tourney?...

[Raw!]

Yeah, but Iunno how to make that limit fairly, Madden 08 is Multiplatform. So. I guess 5 for Wii, 5 For PS3, 5 for 360, and 5 for multip platform.

[Scott]

Yeah, but Iunno how to make that limit fairly, Madden 08 is Multiplatform. So. I guess 5 for Wii, 5 For PS3, 5 for 360, and 5 for multip platform.

Yeah you could do that. But the problem with that is you've missed the PC DS and the PSP lol

[Raw!]

Yeah. See. Could you maybe help me out?

[Scott]

Yeah. See. Could you maybe help me out?

Ummmm...... PC, PSP and DS aren't as popular as the consoles, you could allways have something like 4 of each: 4 PC Games, 4 Handheald games, 4 PS3, 4 360 and 4 multi format.... or 5 multi format games and 3 PC Games since PC aren't that popular.

[Raw!]

Uh, please don't spam here. As a moderator I can't allow this. I'm sorry, so please stop, thanks. Please get on topic or I will have to PM LiNuX.

[Blackbird]

This is not the spammers corner as a moderator you have break one of our rules, stop talking off topics. But Toxic you should now better then this. If you keep posting off then we have to locked this treads

[Raw!]

Thank you Blackbird, I appreciate your help because as a "trial" moderator I want to help this forum in the best way I can. Now, I am going to steer this topic back on topic.

The list thus far, keep on adding people. Remember, once the the number of games, say for the Wii, passes 4 I will delete the recent entries, so, you are posting 4 Multiplatform, 4 360, 4 Wii, 4 PS3, 4 DS, 4 PSP games. The list thus far.

Lol you're posts are so uh strange sometimes?. But yeah don't do that... remember I'm higher than you so I can ban you :D

[Toxic]

Now I don't get this, why are those posts still there but my threads have gone?

[Scott]

Now I don't get this, why are those posts still there but my threads have gone?

Why can't you make them again.

Btw why isn't anyone suggesting any games?. Well I had another idea, we could have the game of the year and 'best racing game' and 'best shooter' and such....

[Raw!]

Sure Scott. I actually think that LiNuX should add a forum if we have "Game of the Year," "Best Shooter" etc. But, for the time being, post it in general gaming. I'd like to ask, why isn't anyone nominating? I thought it was fun deciding what game should win the game of the year.

[conman1000]

Now I don't get this, why are those posts still there but my threads have gone?

Maybe somebody deleated them,

But since no one else is nominating, am I allowed to nominate future games?

I nominate the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

[Scott]

I nominate the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

No you can't lol

Can't you just nominate something that has been released.

[Raw!]

conman, you have already nominated. Sorry.

[Toxic]

Since this is so unpopular cant we nominate more than 1 game maybe 1 on each system you own

[Raw!]

No, I'm sorry, I'm keeping this fair. It isn't my fault only so much people are active.

[Scott]

We could just make it the GF Raing Game of the Year and GF FPS of the year. On the orther site were I stole the other idea from they only had something like 3 or maybe 5 games in their polls we could do something like that. Then we wouldn't have to wait and wait for people lol

This site isnt busy enough for that lol

[Scott]

Well we just need to decide on say 4 games and then all everyone else has to do is vote.

[Toxic]

Maybe but do you think anyone would actually care?

[Scott]

Maybe but do you think anyone would actually care?

Well all they need to do is go into the thread and vote in the poll and maybe even give their opinion.

[Blackbird]

Isn't that better to make a vote treads instead of this one?

[Scott]

Isn't that better to make a vote treads instead of this one?

Yes well were nominating games. Then once people have nominated 20games we will make a poll.

Lol I knew this idea would never work, you can never get 20 nominations but you will get 40 or more votes in a poll lol

[Raw!]

Yeah. I'm still giving this a chance. I can give a whole bunch of people that visit the forum and haven't even nominated a game.

[Scott]

Ok I'm going to nominate Bioshock...

No, as a mod I can edit the poll and put in the additional options. Never tried to see how high it could go though.

so is that really as far as this is going?

[Scott]

I think we should be allowed to vote for 1 game from each console.

[Raw!]

No.. Scott. Because what if you don't have a PS3? What are you going to base your vote on?

[Scott]

No.. Scott. Because what if you don't have a PS3? What are you going to base your vote on?

You don't need to vote for games on the consoles you don't have!... And not many people actually have everything so then you wouldn't get many people nominating loads of games.

[Raw!]

That is the problem. People can vote for a game on ANY system. GameCube, etc.

[Scott]

That is the problem. People can vote for a game on ANY system. GameCube, etc.

Well are you including the last gen systems, can't you just make it the current gen ones?....

[Raw!]

Why? Why can't I include last gen? There are many games that are this year and are on last gen's.

[Scott]

Why? Why can't I include last gen? There are many games that are this year and are on last gen's.

Well besides the PS2 does anyone here use their last gen console?

[coltsplayer1]

what r we talking about

[Raw!]

Alright. The game of the year hasn't been going so well, and I consider the above posts spam. So I am officially locking this thread. And same with the poll. Thanks for participating some of you.
