So here we are again! Round 2, let's roll:
The 2016 Gameplay Awards
FAQ:
Q: Is the Gameplay Awards an annual event?
A: Yes!
Q: You don't look exactly the same as the host from last year. How do we know this is legitimate?
A: You don't. I made both nations "2015 Gameplay Awards" and "2016 Gameplay Awards" to anticipate someone stealing the name nearly a year ago. Turns out this action was a double-edged sword, because I've forgotten the password to both nations. Just go with it.
Q: Will you be including more categories for this year?
A: Funny how you asked. Now that the last month of 2016 is rolling around, I've made this thread so that we may discuss this very prospect for a period of time before nominations begin. Last year, some people wanted a couple awards for those not involved in raider/defender gameplay, but still involved in other aspects under the Gameplay umbrella. Now's your chance to pipe up!
For reference, see here for The Gameplay Awards 2015.
