potter09 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 From last years award I felt there were way to many awards and by that a lot of the awards that actually matter did not really get voting on by everyone. I have nt read through all comments so I'm sorry if Im repeating anybody. But here's my thoughts. 1 - Fighter of the year 2 - Manager of the year 3 - Org of the year 4 - Best new org of the year. ( created in the calendar year. ) 5 - Most Impoved org. ( for example CEC has broke top 4 orgs this year but could be another org mid tier etc. ) 6 - Most Improved Manager 7 - Most I'm Improved fighter 8 - best event of the year 9 - Best writer of the year 10 - poster of the year 11 - KO of the year 12 - KT org of the year 13 Mentor of the year 14 fight of the year 15 alliance of the year 16 avatar of the year 17 clothing company of the. Year 18 nutrition company of the year 19 most helpful manager of the year 20 Tournament of the year 21 smack talk of the year I've probably left a few out and I appoligise if I have so please add or delete either of what I've wrote. But to me these are the main things I see in the game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebankblitz Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 What are the rules on new org (totally not trying to scout if we qualify ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebankblitz Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Have to agree with the bottom three, for the top one I'd just remove that one. I've got a couple of suggestions, thought I'd bold the awards because I've mentioned so many and I thought it'd be easier to track In addition to dinooo's last suggestion, New Business Logo of the Year and Championship Belt of the Year should be merged with Designer of the Year. There's also an award for 25 year old Island fighter of the year, so this could be merged with 25 year old Creation of the Year and U25 Island Fighter of the Year, so you then have one award Island Fighter of the Year. Since there's only a couple of KT orgs, I'd recommend removing the KT Org of the Year award since there's only 5 (from what I can see) which are dedicated to KT. If the award is removed, then KT orgs should be allowed to be nominated for Org of the Year. Bookmaker of the Year, I don't feel bookmakers are a big enough business in MMA Tycoon for them to justify an award. Remove both Best New Org of the Year and Best New Org Owner of the Year. The guys who win these awards should be striving to be the CEO of the Year or the Org of the Year. I agree with all of this except KT. We should be trying to encourage KT and doing whatever to try and make it fit in a bit better. But yeah everything else seems right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK16 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 What are the rules on new org (totally not trying to scout if we qualify ). New Orgs have to have been made after the Nomination Period began last year, which was December time. Since Highland Games started in September, you don't qualify.

GBK16 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Alright, so just going through the suggestions, this seems to be a summary of the suggestions. ADDITIONS MMA Tycoon Liftime Achievement Awards Every 3 years Hot Prospect of the Year Forum Thread/Forum Post of the Year Under rated Manager of the Year REMOVALS Best New Org Owner and Best New Org of the Year > Merge into one award: "Best New Org of the Year" 25 year old creation > Remove Under 25 and 25 Creation Island Fighter > Merge into one award: "Island Fighter of the Year" Avatar/Skin/Poster/Bus Logo/Belt Designer > Merge into one award: "Designer of the Year" Philanthropist/Most Helpful/Mentor > Merge into one award: "Most Helpful Manager" Bookmaker of the Year > Remove What does everyone think of the suggestions so far? Implementing these changes will bring the award numbers to 45 in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBK16 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Still too many imo. I agree that there are still too many. I'm struggling to see what awards should get preference over others for though in terms of what should stay and what should go, so I am all ears for suggestions and what awards should be either removed or changed.

minark Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Personally if I had any say we'd get rid of all these specialty awards. The under 25's, over 25's, newcomer, old timer, drop all that BS. It'd look more like this: Manager OTY Fighter OTY KT Fighter OTY Fight OTY KO OTY Sub OTY Org OTY Event OTY KT Org OTY Clothing company OTY Nutrition company OTY Designer OTY (Stole that one from Dinooo) That's 12, which still seems like a lot to me, but this is just my opinion. Edit - also Alliance OTY and Tournament OTY would be decent ones to keep as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycooner Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I like the Poster of the year it should be in the awards for sure there are some who put a lot of work in there posters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potter09 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Another suggestion. Instead of having people putting things foward would there be able to be like a comittee who decide and once thet decide then it goes up for vote or somewhere along those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 It would be nice to see more people involved in the voting as well. I think Mike sent out a mass mail last year, but still, not that many people voted. There should indeed be less awards, so they would be esteemed higher as well by the community, since now, people still see it as a popularity contest. It would be interesting if their would be a fully objective way of determing who wins what award, but I guess that's pretty much impossible.

Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Public gym of the year can go... if you don't have fighters in a city you'll never know how good a certain public gym is. Not to mention many of the public gyms quietly go about their business without pumping themselves up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest something like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Instead of a commitee, why not do a forum poll with every proposed award? (All thirty or so) Then have the top 15 "winners" as the awards to be held next time. If people vote we can weed out the uneccessary awards fairly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like designer of the year is good enough to cover graphics in general. like that but i still think there should be new org of the year or new org owner of the year. so the smaller orgs get recognition. I disagree with this. I think the first part of thinning down the awards and giving them some importance is to stop giving out awards for every new thing. I think we need to just award the best, and not start adding sub categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEpicity Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 How bout we introduce the "Meltdown of the year" award. Had a couple good candidates so far this year LOL This x 100. Awards should be serious and I don't like the idea of their being too many topics either but there should always be at least one that people can have some laughs over, in one of the other message boards I have been on for years we have crybaby of the year which was fun.

HarryB Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Awards I would get rid of for this year cause they are just less compelling than the rest: 25 Year Old Creation of the Year Under 25's Island Fighter of the Year Robbery of the Year Video of the Year Philanthropist of the Year Best New Org Owner of the Year Manager Comeback of the Year Championship Belt of the Year Most Helpful Manager of the Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
