Man I totally forgot Ni no Kuni was a 2013 game since I got the Japanese version way before. Even though I also bought the Wizard's Edition.

It's sad how in between all the GTAs and Last of Us, it feels like people just plain forgot about Ni no Kuni when considering top video games of this year.

The curse of being released in January.
But I played it for the first time about a month or so ago, and no question I was going to nominate it (not that I played too many games that were released this year).
-
I just forgot it qualified. It's getting my vote without question.
-
Wait, so can we nominate ports and remakes this year or something?
Damn. I need to change my console nomination to Earthbound immediately.
-
What makes you think ports are accepted? Are there any on the current list? I don't think nominating an SNES virtual re-release is the idea here.
-
I assumed with Donkey Kong and Muramasa being on (both were Wii titles) that ports were allowed. (Wouldn't this allow the likes of Wind Waker HD, Persona 4 and Kingdom Hearts too?)
My mistake. =3

I can see ports working fine, especially when it's from console to handheld, as that may produce a different experience. But Earthbound, as amazing as it is, was released decades ago and hasn't been updated graphically or gameplaywise in any way except some save state stuff in the VC. It would also encourage nominations of other older games like the GBC releases on the 3DS, when really I think the award is going for more modern releases that do require at least some bit of updating, graphics-wise or some DLC or something else.
-
Yes they are, actually. Pure ports not so much, but HD remakes that add some new content, given that they are so good as to deserve a best game nomination, are definitely allowed. Wind Waker HD, for example, is absolutely a game that could be on there.
-
Console-to-handheld "ports" are usually either entirely different games or have new content and graphical improvements. Muramasa Rebirth has new characters and scenarios. HD re-releases at worst count as enhanced ports. A virtual console release is pretty much just emulation though. Not even a port.

We're done here, the nominations are officially over!
But there's still something over in the nominations thread that warrants your attention. Do check it out.

So does this mean we can start to vote?
-
Not before the voting opens, no. You'll know when it does, we'll post another thread.

Thanks, just wanted to be sure.

I actually find voting a lot less fun than nominating. I think it's the exclusive nature of having a sole victor versus having a good range of semi-victors. Just having Luffy instead of all the Straw Hats, to put it another way. But then again, I am horrendously indecisive so this is probably less of a thing for other people
-
It's something that has to be done or we never get to take the much-needed break before we start planning for the next tournament. ;D
-
It will be a difficult time for choice making.
In any case, I want to thank whoever it was that nominated me for something that escapes my mind right now. I didn't get to even notice it when it happened but now that I do, I'd like to express my gratitude to whoever it was. Thanks~!

Remember a vote for me is a vote for not being hassled by a despot drunk on his own power.

That's all I needed to hear.

Ah I just noticed noob's Moria campaign got nominated.
And I have nothing against it, but I do have to point out I am not thrilled by someone getting nominated for a campaign which builds on something I've done, which in itself I have no problem with. The problem is the mean spirited tone of the very ending of said GIF which kinda rubbed me the wrong way and I said so at the time when it was posted.
I just thought I should adress that. Nothing againts you noob, just that ending feels kinda awkward to me is all.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also come categories either have an extra zero in front of them, or, as with what I believe to be catgeory 17, are listed with lik "107"
Just pointing that out.
-
Yeah, that's Ubiq's formatting failure. The blank ballot is what you need to use.
-
Also in the Best Fanart section, CCC's sculpts and zxcv's animated Pirate Alliance links are dead.

And that's why it's so awesome!

what is a time limit for votes?
-
A week, as it says on the ballot post. The deadline is next Friday.

arlong park has awards?

This post is deleted!

@Holy:
arlong park has awards?
No, they/we don't.
-

I think we got 'Best Supporting Actor' or something.
-
Will I actually vote this year?
Maybe.

This post is deleted!

I would like to point out that my username in the ballot for best new member has received an additional zero. I feel that this will negatively impact my chances of winning and demand an immediate restart of the voting process.
Actually, on second thought don't do that. This way I have a totally valid and not at all lame excuse for not winning. Much better than my previously prepared excuse of only being a member for five days of 2013. (On a more serious note, pretty staggered I got nominated at all. Thanks to King Cannon for the nomination.)
Also, I figured I'd ask. Given the aforementioned handicap and the fact that I'm confining myself pretty much exclusively to the manga forum for reasons of time and sanity, I'm not sure I can vote on most of the member category ones since I haven't really gotten to know people much. Nobody's going to mind if my ballot only includes a handful of categories, are they?
-
Nah, everyone leaves a whole bunch of blanks in their final ballots anyway. No one's required to vote for every category. There's very few people on the boards who even could fill the full ballot with knowledge in every topic that the awards cover.
And as stated previously, the weird additional numbers are just an editing error. Nothing to worry about. I just thought I'd leave them there because I like how 'category 007' looks. The empty ballot that I edited in for participants' convenience's sake is all as it should be. I'll fix your name, though. That's just fair.
-
Leave them blank? I thought we were supposed to delete them. That's what I did :S
-
Yeah, deleting is what you would preferably do because that makes the ballot easier to process. Some people leave blanks, though, and it serves the same purpose. Makes things harder for the people counting the votes, so we'd advise against it, but it's not that dangerous if it happens.
Bottom line is, if you don't want to vote for a certain category, you're free to do so.

It's just a print error.

Seriously though, your nomination was thoroughly deserved from what I've seen. I should have nominated your sig too…
-
Well voted… Took some time.
-
Will I be active and vote.
Or will I be Moriah.
Mhm…
...
...BEKA. LET'S PARTY. -
Soooooo when are we allowed to talk of our votes? :ninja:
-
I'm sure the tournament by-laws state that it's perfectly allright to talk about how great i am.
But that the information concerning the actual votes confirming that should be kept to oneself.
-
My god you try too hard.

I'm sure the tournament by-laws state that it's perfectly allright to talk about how great i am.
They do? Excellent :D

I have now voted. You may resume your lives.
Out of interest, were music categories considered to go with the TV, film and game ones? Or were they tried in the past before I joined and dropped or something?
-
Well, let's just say that the best new member thing just became really interesting.
-
I see a new batch of senior upgrades were given. Excellent choices imo.
-
^Agreed, congrats to all those with new stars~
How many were upgraded, though? I've seen three.

Six total. Couple newer members, couple older members.

Neat little bonus if they got nominated for something too, eh?
