TJMitchell Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'll get this out the way now so everyone knows. Any nominations by humors, for humors, or on behalf of humors will not be taken and will be deleted. This isn't from me, but it is what will happen. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yearly awards used to be fun, but there are hardly enough big names around in my opinion to keep it interesting. These awards have decreased more in more in value over the last years and that does not seem to change anytime soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur.Camara Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 100% agree This is why we’ve been chatting and we want to do less awards (quality over quantity) this year . Whatchu guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakePhoenix Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 What about "Best 135lb fighter from Mongolia with a custom avatar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popart Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Most custom avatars to least amount of wins ratio? I think I might have that one All seriousness: Alliance Company Org ID org Fighter, per division Avatar Manager Writer Upset Fight character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdaugh Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Since I'm doing a grappling org, maybe grappler of the year? You can use the rankings on the Tycoon page as well with their record/tycoon world grappling championship. Maybe add best belt to list? I agree with the rest mentioned. Take out Forumer of the year combine avatar/graphics/logo into one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJMitchell Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 i think fight, ko and sub of the year should still be a thing. Have designer of the year encompass poster, avatar, logo, belt etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 designer - could combine avatar, poster, logo to all fall under this one? there goes my quadruple In all seriousness though I do believe it should remain as three separate categories - avatar, poster and designer. The thinking behind this is that there is ridiculous competition in the avatar market this year with hundreds of top quality pieces coming through and they deserve to fight for a unique reward. Posters are in a similar boat and although the market isn't as deep, there has still been some great creations from a handful of skilled designers. Finally, the Designer OTY award is about the person and what they have done and can be to do with consistency, quality, activity or anything - not necessarily about a single piece of standout work which is what the other awards are for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionjackson Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I think new and breakthrough manager of the year should remain as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we meet halfway? Avatar and Poster I totally understand but the rest are a bit repetitive and well after all we are trying hard to shorten the list no? I`d be good with keeping New and Breakthrough Manager of the year considering I am running the events this year and won`t mess it up like Jungle did and accepting a very tenured manager (very deserving just should not have qualified) as Breakthrough candidate. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? The rest? I only suggested the three - avatar, poster and overall designer.

BobbMogg Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Do many organisations have their own individual award ceremonies? Eg: Fight of the year, Fighter of the year. Best Ko, Best submission, Etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I think we should keep the awards as they are. Why remove any of them? It is just a bunch of polls anyway, each award has it's merit, obviously some awards are more valuable than others, but so what? I do not think we should add anything new, but the current ones are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think we should add anything new, but the current ones are fine. I think those awards that wont have any real data behind and are 100% popularity based, are totally pointless. Like submission of the year, KO of the year etc. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
