I Have An Idea Guys


Recommended Posts

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

I think that it would quickly descend into complaints, bitching and whining about why xxx was picked over yyy.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

this is what will ultimately happen:

But I like the idea... If we already do it for games, why not movies at least?

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".

Atleast we could give it a try and see how it goes?

You already have a sample of it in this very thread!

An idea was put forth, and arguments ensued. :p

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

I totally agree mate. No problems will arise.

What's the benefit to all of this extra management?

I am willing to do all the extra management...?
