The Gameplay Awards have been run the same way since 2015. It’s a light-hearted superlative contest, that you, Souls, Tim, and whoever else have turned into just another bitter Gameplay drama. So raiders flooded the TG votes last year to get their team to win, who cares?? Y’all act like Souls proved everything was a sham, when in reality all but a couple awards matched the public vote and the discrepecies were with raider categories. You yourself pointed out in the 2016 awards that it was likely just raider groups getting their members to TG votes.

Can you please go away with your whining? You're the only one having a problem with this. Thanks.

If the OP of the other awards had listened to anyone's suggestions, including simply disclosing their identity or making voting public, this wouldn't be a problem. For all we know the OP is Ivo, and that's why The Invaders won last year, though I think you're making a good case that you're the OP.

So raiders flooded the region to get the delegacy, who cares?? :lol2:

I like this new logic you're using, GR! Maybe you'll see the light yet.

I suggest checking out the Play of the Game awards thread for those who were interested in this.
1 John 2:1-2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father - Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

Matthew 5:43-44 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Don't try making your own awards (on your own personal tabloid) (and then cancelling them) if you don't want to hear criticism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's funny because you started all of this due to the whining about the Gameplay Awards

Or you know the Gameplay Awards is garbage.What's your investment in this other than possibly just to be petty towards Cormac? They looked quite fair and better than the Gameplay Awards.

I don't really need an "investment" to point out how ridiculous the complaints about the Gameplay Awards are, especially when one of the least trusted players tries to be the answer to those weak complaints

These are frivolous things that don't matter. People comment on things that don't matter all of the time.

Except that player trustworthiness is an entirely moot point if the votes are public. Feel free to grasp at a different straw, though :roll:

Not seeing a huge need to keep this open. If the OP intends to restart this or something they can ask for it to be unlocked. As it is, iLock.
