GBK16 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Since we are nearing the mid way point of the year, I think it is a good time to bring up a discussion regarding the Of The Year awards. Now, this past year we had over 50 different awards, and it covers many areas of the game. Just as a flashback, these were the awards from 2014: Fighter Of The Year All Weight Class Fighters Of The Year (135 - 265+) - This totals 8 awards KT Fighter Of The Year Under 25 Fighter of the Year 25 Year Old Creation of the Year Under 25's Island Fighter of the Year 25 Year Old Island Fighter of the Year Robbery of the Year Upset of the Year Most Improved Manager of the Year Nutrition Company of the Year Public Gym of the Year Event Poster of the Year Event of the Year KO of the Year Sub of the Year CEO of the Year Video of the Year Org of the Year KT Org of the Year Bookmaker of the Year Best New Company of the Year Best New Org of the Year Poster Designer of the Year Philanthropist of the Year Smacktalker of the Year Fight Character of the Year Mentor of the Year Best New Org Owner of the Year Writer of the Year Manager of the Year Fight of the Year Avatar Designer of the Year Skin Designer of the Year New Business Logo of the Year Manager Comeback of the Year Clothing Company of the Year Championship Belt of the Year Avatar of the Year Most Helpful Manager of the Year Best New Manager of the Year Tournament of the Year Forumer of the Year Alliance of the Year This totals 51 different awards. This is basically a discussion thread where we look at what awards we can take out of this year, and suggestions for any new awards that can be put in. Could we merge some of the awards into one? Maybe one of the awards needs to be split into two to show the diversity? Post your ideas and suggestions below with how to improve the Of The Year awards list.

UniConor Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hmmmm, after looking through the awards. It seems like one manager could win a lot and while, they probably deserve it. I'd like to see awards shared out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think an under 25 yo fighter of the year leaves too big a gap. Maybe a prospect of the year? Maybe restricted by the amount of fights they have had. Under 22 fighter of the year? Need's some fine tuning but i think a prospect of the year could be a nice award. One who hasnt had a load of fights but looks really promising, adds pressure and generates some hype for the fighter, for good or bad lol. It would be cool to look back in a year and say 'Whatshisface deserved the prospect of the year' or 'Uselesscunt failed to live upto it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbob Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 How about a special award for like MMAT Life Award . Dino wins that one too this year. Managers who are long with the game and i mean long and still do something for/with the community. Are a good read and still active as hell. This might be one that isnt given out each year, more like an award for every other or every 3rd, 4th, 5th Year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebankblitz Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Video of the Year Not sure how many videos are created on here, but if I remember correctly, last year it was a competition between only two.... Then I call bullshit since I made 2! I don't think under and over 25 year old Island is needed. I think just having Island fighter of the year is enough.

This might be one that isnt given out each year, more like an award for every other or every 3rd, 4th, 5th Year An MMA Tycoon Lifetime Achievement award sounds pretty awesome. I think we need some catching up to do with some people on that haha Then I call bullshit since I made 2! I don't think under and over 25 year old Island is needed. I think just having Island fighter of the year is enough. Only 2 got nominated overall, but I enjoy seeing videos used to hype events or fighters. Beck's use of one to hype his fighter Chris Lancier signing to Havoc 260k is the one I think of most I think an under 25 yo fighter of the year leaves too big a gap. Maybe a prospect of the year? Maybe restricted by the amount of fights they have had. Under 22 fighter of the year? Need's some fine tuning but i think a prospect of the year could be a nice award.

It would be cool to look back in a year and say 'Whatshisface deserved the prospect of the year' or 'Uselesscunt failed to live upto it' Prospect of the Year is another good shout. Just like in different sports they have like a "Young Player of the Year" and then you look back to see who succeeds and who fails after being billed as the next big thing. Few more maybe, Post of the year. The post that made people laugh the most or what not. Comeback fighter of the year. I like these two ideas also, but I couldn't personally think of a "Comeback Fighter" so far. The best example ever though would be Jeremy Tonal though. On from the Post of the Year, could also have a Forum Thread of the Year award, just as a way to remember the best threads of each year, and it will be easier for people to look back in years to come and remember them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebankblitz Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Here was my two. I might do a big event or something and throw another one together for it. https://youtu.be/RsX-xRX7NaY https://youtu.be/rOd8V39Qd4o But yeah I like all the awards really. I think there's enough that you don't have to add more, and the ones that could be changed are very minimal. All looking solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 25's Island Fighter of the Year - Delete, isn't most of the guys created on the Island 25?

Warpig Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 There really is a ridiculous amount of awards, almost like it is geared toward making sure lots of people get a gold star on their sticker chart. Kind of takes away from their prestige when there is so many. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
