BlakePhoenix Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I vote that for next year, we simplify/speed up the process and just have GBK give each award to whoever he feels deserves it. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie1903 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 It comes up every year, but a committee would cause less hassle and speed up this process. We could have nominations as usual from everyone and then it goes to a selected committee to go through it and find the rightful winner. Committee should be made out of top managers in ranking and status and some lower managers, who can give an insight that the top guys maybe pass over. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 The decisions of a commitee would always get questioned as well,so would not make a difference. Those who like to complain will always find a reason. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeF Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, I agree with bjorn. No matter what way you guys chose, it will always be "unfair" to some people. People need to chill, those are just fictional awards in a fictional game, nothing special. Thinking of it, a committee could make it even worse. People would mimimi first about the chosen members of that committee, then they would mimimi about their decisions, then Mentor(just kidding) would bring some statistics and claim his alliance is biggest and should get 60% of the members of the committee. If you ask me, just delete those awards cause they obviously don't serve their purpose to bring acknowledgement to who deserves a recognition for his success, it just all comes to throwing dirt at each other. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK16 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Congrats to the winners! Might be worth discussing here if people want the award voting process changed or not. The plan is to throw up a thread this weekend where people can discuss any changes to both the voting process, and discuss adding in new awards or removing some of the existing awards. It comes up every year, but a committee would cause less hassle and speed up this process. We could have nominations as usual from everyone and then it goes to a selected committee to go through it and find the rightful winner. Committee should be made out of top managers in ranking and status and some lower managers, who can give an insight that the top guys maybe pass over. If a suggestion is made on the thread mentioned above that everyone can agree with would be fair in regards to a committee then it would definitely be considered, but as Bjorn said above, there will always be doubts as to whether the committee would be able to remain impartial and have it be fair. Also, links have been added in to include which manager wins the awards for Fighters, Event etc. From a count of them, the following are a list of all of the winners starting from most awards to least (Those who only win as part of Alliance not included - Would take forever): Chris Karter x5 (Alliance, Smacktalker, Forumer, KO and Submission) Sean McDonnel x3 (Org, Event, CEO) Marky Mark x3 (Fighter, Breakthrough Fighter, Lightweight) Whymer Van Mastodon x2 (Manager and Middleweight) Bob Vendarra x2 (KT Fighter and Heavyweight) Pablo Spezziale x2 (Featherweight and Welterweight) Bjorn O'Donnel x2 (Super Heavyweight and Upset) "Clever" Hans Schmidt x2 (Alliance and Fight) Jay Tycoon x2 (Designer and Poster) Grant Brophy x2 (Tournament and Game Contributor) Klatz Matz x2 (Alliance and Light Heavyweight) Grand Magus x1 (Island Fighter - Joint winner) Red Finger x1 (Island Fighter - Joint winner) Mega Jug x1 (Bantamweight) David Brent x1 (Breakthrough Manager - Joint winner) The Philosopher x1 (Breakthrough Manager - Joint winner) Jeremiah Lukker x1 (Fight) James Listerman x1 (Best New Org) Alika Webb x1 (Writer) John Hetfield x1 (Logo) Joe Lang x1 (Sully's Bar and Grill) Krum Koev x1 (Best New Manager) Max Octane x1 (Avatar) Eddie Bravo x1 (Fight Character) 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I like the committee idea; but maybe it should be more like 3 judges per category. I'd you had the same people every category there's no guarantee of an unbiased judging. If we can find a way to get three people to judge each category who we know and trust to be unbiased, I think it should be done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I say all alliances that have 5 or more people can choose one and only one of their members to go forward in the committee. This way there is less likely to be bias. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamAnIdiot Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I don't think award committee should be chosen by community. Mike just should put around 5 managers who he trusts and who has proven not to be biased in the game. I would recommend Lance and Duphus for it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He trusted wolf and aaron, we all know how that worked out. There should be more criteria than trust. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
