Nice idea. I might have to run some "for your consideration" ads for the issues I wrote and edited.

For clarification, what do you mean by "best description"? If you are referring to the effect lines that you get after answering an issue, I agree that this would make a good category.

I think it means the opening part of an issue.

Yeah, I'll quick change that.

Hm... do I get to nominate myself?

Shh, don’t do it, hit me with a tg and I nominate you.

Jutsa, weren’t we going to have some people-based awards?

Yeah but I wanted to get this out and I had no idea what to do when Ransium pinged me about it mid-January.

Important notice: Four more player-based categories have been added shortly after this post unless something goes wrong.

Can we make it a rule that you can't nominate yourself?

Sure.

I'll vote a little bit. Just a little.
Most likely to become a hit author: Singapore no 2.
Best advice giver: Candlewhisper Archive.
Most important issue: Me.

can we nominate the worst ones too?

In my opinion, that sounds like a bad idea that may divide the community.

But let's see what the others think about this.

I also think this would be a bad idea. IMO, being nominated as "the worst" of anything - even if meant as a joke - may demoralise some, upset others, and will almost definitely cause division.

Meh. I doubt that anyone other than me would win worst anything, and I can take it

Naeh, we aren't going to be doing that.

So far I count two nominations (well, three, but one's a self-nomination so it doesn't count >:3)

If I have to, I can always extend the nomination period.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you can nominate more than one candidate.
(Though, to prevent this from going out of hand, you may only nominate 0-3)

Funniest issue: #813: A Little Birdie Told Me; #824: Period Drama; #756: The Issue With Issues (#862: Friends Close, Enemies Close was good but I've gotta stick with these)
Most important issue: #836: Don't Drink The Grape Punch; #740: The Enemy Within: A Day In The Life; #841: Burn Noticed
Weirdest issue: #842: @@LEADER@@ And The Chocolate Factory; #781: The White Man's Burden; #756: The Issue With Issues (If 626 came out a bit later, I'd nominate only that. )
Best issue opening: #727: Market Crash (I didn't take a good look at most issues, may ammend)
Best option: #727.3 (I didn't take a good look at most issues, may ammend)
Best character: Catherine Gratwick, James Bont, your brother
Best parody/reference: Elon Musk, James Bond, #842: @@LEADER@@ And The Chocolate Factory
Funniest joke: I'm drawing a blank here
Most likely to become a hit author: Me Candlewhisper Archive, Chan Island, Marsupial Illuminati
Best data informer: Trotterdam, Arceus Domains, Minoa

... What? Sometimes the simplistic questions he asks have a surprisingly significant meaning that can undermine your whole issue, 'specially with as many as he gives.
Best writer of jokes: Me Candlewhisper Archive, Ransium

Willing to amend this. Feel free to nominate stuff already nominated, if you want.
(ftr it was rather hard picking only three for some of these)

I will get to this

You should extend the period. I don't think you can find many who go through that many issues that quickly

I'll put a couple on here for now, maybe some more later:

Favorite issue: An Expensive Watch (by Candle). Don't know if this issue has been added to the game yet, or not. If not, then hurry up!!!!
Funniest issue: Same issue as above. It's my favourite cos it's the funniest!
Most important issue: A Putrid Predicament (by No. 2). There's nothing more important than banning durian!
Weirdest issue
Best description
Best option
Best character
Best parody/reference (issue or otherwise)
Funniest joke (issue or otherwise): The regiments that support different football teams being responsible for friendly-fire incidents (from An Expensive Watch).
Most likely to become a hit author: No. 2.
Best data informer (NSIndex, spoiler thread reporter, reporting false issue effects/problems, etc)
Best advice giver (pre-editing stage feedback): Candle, Shwe Tu (your orange suggestions are usually spot on) & Aussie (I agree with Jutsa here, if you read between the lines from Aussie, there are often some excellent points to ponder!).
Best writer of jokes

Thanks, Baggieland.

Yeah, I agree that the deadline should probably be extended. How's about until mid-February, or is that too long/still probably too short?

Oh yeah, I also have no idea who does most of the work on NS Index, so uh... I'd nominate that person / those people, as well.

That's a good topic, but I don't think it's eligible because this is only for 2017.

That would be Minoa.
