This has also been posted in the Throne Room here (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST&f=25&t=11097&st=&&#entry158606). It would be good if we could keep the comments all in one thread so mods, could you please close this topic when you read this so we're all posting in the same thread. Thankyou http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
I know the HOF awards are a while off, but I've been thinking that we should have some new categories for rewarding all the creative effort that goes on in the Mead Hall & Throne Room. Over on the EU2 forums, their AAR (after action report) forum is chockablock full of outstanding writing. The best get rewarded with an oscAAR, a most suitable prize methinks. BTW, if you haven't already, I suggest you head on over there and check some of them out here (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=61) . An excellent one to start with is History Park: Who Wants To Be Napoleon (http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52885)
So I was thinking that we should do something similar here, with the following categories
Best account of a PBEM reign. Ones that spring to mind are SeljukSinans Yusuf I and Maniacs Umarian mushrooms (both in the Almohad VI thread).
Best PBEM thread Pretty self explanatory really, I would only include completed dynsties
Best short story
Best Story The difference between the two being length, obviously http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I would have the relevant mods - KukriKahn, Shadeswolf, Demon of Light and frogbeastegg nominate 3 or 5 of what they regarded as the best from 2003 for us to choose from.
Whaddya think? Mods, I guess you need to be involved in this too, cos if you don't agree it won't happen
