Poll Should we have the System Wars Awards? (69 votes)

Yay 57%
Nay 43%

So 2014 has come and gone, but would people want to have the System Wars Awards voting during the month of January?

Unfortunately the last year or two the Awards pretty much went nowhere, so this would take actual participation from users. We would need vote counters, and more importantly voters.

I would suggest we also cut down the number of Awards to something more manageable, while keeping favorites like Best/Worst Troll, Biggest PC/XBOX/PS/Nintendo fan, System Wars King, Best sig etc

So should we give it the ol' System Wars try...?

Short number of categories and it'll be good. But i think we should call it something like "User Awards" or soemthing to make it abit more clear and stand out.

I also vote Tc for best Troll and King

Damn. Post didn't go through.

We did 2 years ago. Some users took it a bit too seriously, and decided to call upon an admin to lock it down, because of a simple error. They could've contacted the people in charge, but they didn't. Probably because they didn't want to let people know who they were. It happened before, just not as anonymous. People get upset over the System Wars Awards, and they still do to this day.

SW exists out of trolls, bandodgers, and alts. We could try, but don't expect people to line up to vote.

Oh, I was going to just suggest making a bait and switch thread about boobs...or one that praises the WiiU above everything else...then when they enter expecting boobs/WiiU they have to vote.

It's the perfect plan

Half of these guys would probably feel the pressure if you threaten them with sunlight and female interaction.

I remember when my life changed in a blink of an eye. It was dawn when it happened, the people, the savages they came into our homes slaughtering my people one by one. I tried to stop them but I was hit and couldn't get back up. The screams for me, oh the screams, how I couldn't do anything but lay in horror. The dawn disappeared and so did the savages. Left all alone in the NIGHT.

These awards are symptomatic of the talent show mentality modern socaity has developed. No longer happy and self-assured, they constantly seek validation - however shallow.

I kinda think we should figure out some stuff first. Categories? If its about System Wars and not the posters outside of 2 or 3 awards then it shouldn't be too bad.

You know, stuff like Thread Backfire of the year, Flop of the Year, Hype Thread of the Year stuff like that.

Don't make it about the users, or limit that part. People take that stuff too seriously.

I voted no. The drama is always hilarious, but there's a reason why this board doesn't allow the discussion to drift into fanboy wars, and the SWA are basically one big fanboy war.

Definitely cut back on the awards, and probably many of the negative user categories

No. No GUFU/Hype drama anymore so what's the point

SWA isn't the same without bolded essays for everyone to laugh at.

Sure! I think the community we have right now in System Wars, albeit small, is full of decent regulars, those who are here too much, and lurkers to make it work. :P If it's all in fun, why not?

Maybe this year we keep it the same in terms of rules but limit the categories, but why not try some year having a preliminary round where you nominate users/threads/games into categories, and then you have the final round where users can see the users who are nominated and vote for them?

Again, all in fun and I think having it be positive could bring the SWA's back to what they should be: an event that is meant to bring together the System Wars community.
