MFGG Awards 2017

It's that time again! It's time to nominate awesome games and awesome members for this year's MFGG Awards.

In case you haven't done this before, MFGG Awards consists of two phases - the Nomination Phase and the Voting Phase. In the Nomination Phase, you nominate a member name (for the individual categories) or a game title (for the games categories). The five people/games with the most nominations per category will move on to the final voting, which begins in about two weeks. After the final voting ends, the staff will tally the winners and announce them in another topic. The winners receive an MFGG Awards 2017 badge!

Here's how the nomination phase works:
1. Copy this list of categories:

Spoiler

Individual:
BEST SPRITER
Who consistently makes outstanding sprites?

BEST ARTIST
Who makes the most impressive artwork?

BEST COMPOSER
Who makes you feel all kinds of emotion through music?

BEST PROGRAMMER
Who writes amazing code and helps other people out of programming tight spots?

BEST REVIEWER
So thorough, helpful, and well-written!

Games:
BEST GAME OVERALL
There can be only one. (This should probably be a game that has been finished.)

BEST NON-MARIO GAME
We might be Mario Fan Games Galaxy, but we have cool indie projects and non-Mario fangames too!

BEST DEMO
I can't wait until I get to play the final version of this game!

BEST MINIGAME
Maybe it's not a full game, but it's still awesome.

BEST GRAPHICS
I love those Mario is Missing-styled Kremlings you used in this game!

BEST ENGINE
Wow, this feels just like an official game!

BEST LEVEL DESIGN
Because nothing is worse than an impassable chasm.

MOST POLISHED
Everything about this game is great.

For that diamond in the rough that people haven't seemed to find yet.

MOST REPLAY VALUE
Let's play again!

Not your standard "Mario rescues the princess" game.

They just kept you searching, and it paid off with awesomeness incarnate.

Because your standard grassland gets boring now and again.

Special thanks to MFGG.

BEST BOSSES
This game's bosses really stand out!

What game had the wittiest dialogue and the goofiest gameplay?

And a few more things just for fun!

This topic or event was so much fun!

BEST PROFILE
Their avatar and signature made the Best-Dressed List this year.

I won't be upset if you don't vote for the MFGG Awards account.

MOST OVEREXPOSED INTERNET MEME
It can't be escaped.

2. Enter ONE name per category. Please enter the name instead of the description, and remember that you're not allowed to nominate yourself.

3. Send your nominations per PM to MFGG Awards.



Nominations end on Monday, January 15 at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time. Then we'll tally up the results and begin the Voting Phase.

A few other things to keep in mind:

• If you're not sure about a category, it's OK to leave it blank, but please try to fill out as many categories as possible.
  
• We reserve the right to omit a category in the final voting if only a few people vote in the nominations phase.
  
• MFGG Awards 2017 covers anything posted on the MFGG forums (both the current boards and the old phpBB boards), mainsite, and Wiki during the calendar year of 2017. If someone worked on it in 2017, it's eligible.
  
• If you need ideas for the game categories, take a look at games that won Game of the Month awards or Minigame Competitions in 2017, as well as submissions that consistently earned positive reviews on the mainsite. For the individual categories, I recommend exploring the MFGG forums to find examples of high-quality work that you might've missed.

If you're unsure about anything, don't be afraid to ask!

Course clear! You got a card.

Woops, I accidently sent two different versions, but it's easy to tell which one is the real one

Another note: due to me not playing many fangames this year, I had to omit a ton of categories

I'm a forum guy living in a Discord world

There's only one more week to submit your nominations, so you better get rolling! So far the nominations submissions phase has been a little slow, so if you're not sure how to vote or if you have questions about the process, don't be afraid to ask!

Also, if you're a creator who's been making cool games or art, it's totally OK to post a refresher about what you did in 2017 (either here or in this topic). Some people aren't sure about whom to vote for, so a little campaigning won't hurt anything (as long as you're not bashing other people's games, but fortunately, that shouldn't be a problem).

Course clear! You got a card.

Well, I know for a fact that Charisma 3.1 came out in September of 2017! So if anyone wants to keep that in mind when nominating anything for "Best Story" or perhaps even "Funniest Game", I couldn't complain! I mean, it's only the most critically acclaimed Charisma game to date (which is saying... not much actually...) and it also boasts an incredible amount of wacky changes to all of Charisma's formulas. Now, I'll leave it up to the voters on if it's quality or not, but I definitely think Charisma 3.1 has triumphed the past Charismas in all but icon status. Okay, calling Charisma "iconic" is a huge stretch but apparently a bunch of you yahoos seem to fondly remember them in some way or another, so I presume it qualifies.

Other than that, I highly encourage you all to consider nominating Made in MFGG, which is one of my personal favourites from 2017 (even if it's presently just a demo).
