It would be pretty cool. We would have a group of dedicated users be judges, and then nominate and select games for awards like best graphics, best sound, best gameplay, etc. Wouldn't that be cool?

But if its going to work then I need a good group of experienced users.
If you're in, then tell me so I can get this going.

Also the creator of the game that receives the Oscar should get a merit.

Except that most of the game creators wouldn't know that they're receiving this prize due to inactivity...

True. But we could have the admins notify them or something, they would probably have the best chance of getting a hold of them.

Most people who submit games on AG don't do it for the AP, so I doubt they would care that much about merits. I think the satisfaction of having your game that you spent day/weeks/months on receive a reward would be enough for them.

Game makers make games because they enjoy doing it, and submit them on various sites for money. Giving them a merit would be pointless, and people would only judge for a sense of power. The game makers would not know why they received a merit, or even care for that matter. They submit games on multiple sites for advertising,and to gain traffic on their own site. AP is nothing to them. This idea is more for the members who judge to feel special.

How about an Awards thing for the active users? I can see some cons for it, but it might be interesting.

Not a bad idea, however I don't see how it would work. Well, I guess it wasn't such a good idea after all.

^ Would just cause a LOT of controversy. And flaming.

Overall, this idea isn't a good one, for as Cholo stated, the game makers don't really care. Especially since it isn't really a prestigious award like that thing that we voted in a while back...

I guess that is a pretty good idea but kingryan is sort of right

Yeah, yeah we moved on from why its bad and have moved forward to how to change it and make it better. Stick with the program buddy, stick with the program.

Would there be awards for users too or just creators?
Also I really don't see this happening.
