Crazysah Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I had an idea to do a Neowin Awards for various categories. Categories; music, moves, sports and some more stuff... Here is how it would work; Take music for example; We would have sub-categories like best single, best album, best band etc... Now take best single... Everyone would send in 5 nominations and each nominated song that got atleast 2 votes would go into the main draw. Then they would be split into groups of 4 or 8 (depending on the number of nominations) and there would be a vote where the top 2 would go through and then quater-finals, semi-finals and then the final. It would work something like this. I could organize it but I need your peoples views on it. Whether you like the idea or want to change it a little or have a even better idea... I can organize it and even start tomorrow and get it all going and all.. I would only need your views on what categories and sub-categories you people would like,,, Thanks Crazysah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted July 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think that it would quickly descend into complaints, bitching and whining about why xxx was picked over yyy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psybapunk Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Wait, we would present these people with the awards, or is this just an awards ceremony to make us feel good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p858snake Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 We have a games award thing that happens like once year or something from memory, i'm sure you could ask and get that expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted July 10, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think that it would quickly descend into complaints, bitching and whining about why xxx was picked over yyy. Exactly. Take the computer Neowin just gave away in May. Think of all the problems that caused and multiply it several times and that would mean total forum meltdown.

Crazysah Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Maybe you people did not get me right. What I am trying to say is awards for best song and best movie and best game and best rap song and best action movie... hottest girl... best single... best album... best tennis player... best footballer... and so on. Not member vs member guys! No prizes to be given here and no member awards? So how will this create chaos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted July 12, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 12, 2008 People will argue + Neowin = chaos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 People will argue + Neowin = chaos! I have to agree. Take the Gamer's Hangout for example, try to give a Game of the Year without the topic descending into name calling and skewered votes from PS3/PC/Xbox 360/Wii fans.

Crazysah Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Maybe we can do it without opinions? We can have the nominations sent to my email, then I can post up a poll and only poll. A poll with no thread and it can go on and on... Or maybe even let discussions happen! Maybe we could just give this a try and see if it works?

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted July 12, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2008 this is what will ultimately happen: But I like the idea... If we already do it for games, why not movies at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted July 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think it would cause alot of arguments to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+shift. MVC Posted July 13, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 13, 2008 Music + Tastes in people of the opposite gender are too subjective things to really determine "the best" in. Something like this just won't have a clear cut winner, unlike "The Best Anti Virus Program" for example; where there are a few programs that are regarded as "the best".

MackTK Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 i like the idea, don't see problems can arise if the results were posted in a closed thread where no one can give more opinions. it can't be worse than RWI anyway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
