Those who weren't at the meeting can now comment on the red/blue above. Nothing is final yet, but will be finalized next week if there is no major change in opinion on this thread, so please speak out if you object to anything. Those at the meeting can also make their case, especially if they are in a minority that got voted out at something.

 

[Luigifreak]

okay here are my opinions on undecided ones and such

2. we must keep, it is a vital part to series
4. i feel we could add a new catergory on 3d game
17. at least delete mega mushroom and maybe boo.
19. yes, take 2 or 3 top partners from each pm and combine to 1 poll
20. i say delete, but replacing w/ newcomers is okay for variety
22. I say delete. just doesnt look that good.
26. see 19.
27. yeah, revise.

i will bring up these on the next meeting.

 

[King Boo]

2. Since the majority said keep, keep it.
4. Uniju has the right idea. 2D and 3D are too different to keep in one category. Separate.
17. Either trim down, or delete.
19. Round up the results from last year, and put the favorites from the other Paper Mario games, then add the Pixls.
20. Replace with Newcomers.
22. Delete. Remakes aren't different enough from the original to deserve their own category.
26. Same as 19.
27. Revise.

EDIT: I'm Master Lucario, btw.

 

[Hobbes]

some ideas:

*Favorite non-videogame media
*Favorite Partner
*Favorite Ending
*LESS Favorite Character

 

[Stooben Rooben]

2. Keep it. It's a vital part of the Mario series.
4. Separate them into 2D and 3D platformers.
17. Trim it to the basics. Mushroom, Green Shell, Red Shell, Star, Thunderbolt, Spiny Shell.
19. Narrow it down to nine partners: the first from each three, (Goombario, Goombella, and Tippi), the partner with the highest stats. (Like Bobbery), then the best unlockable partner. (Piccolo, Ms. Mowz, etc.)
20. How about have favorite veteran, and then favorite newcomer?
22. Keep it. Some remakes had extra features, or broke the ground for gaming in a certain country. (SMAS was the first release of TLL in NA.)
26. Refer to #19.
27. Revise and add a spoiler tag.

 

[Jesus Freak]

IMO:

delete keep modify

1. Delete. Geeky question.
2. Hey, that's a pretty good idea!
3. Eh, na.
4. Uni's right. Split.
5. You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. Too obscure. Goodbye, Mr.Bond.
6. Well, this one.................... stinks.......................
7. x)
8. See #1 and #5.

9. Yoshi! Yoshi? Yoshi. (<- Inside joke.)
10. Stinkeroo.
11. Susan likey
12.
13.
14. Uh, NO.
15. Get Shadoo outa there.
16. Removeth the shoeth.
17. BLAH.
18.
19.
20. Replace with newcomers.
21. Eh, na.
22.
23.
24. Maybe most (long word that I don't think I can spell) concept instead of game?
25 and 26.
27.
28.
29.
30. You forgot the word "Mainstream"

Also, I motion that we put in a favorite female villian.

Also, I motion that we put in a favorite female villian.

Female villains are up there. Cackletta and Shadow Queen. And Nastasia is never fought.

Donkey Kong Wii needs to be taken out. It never came out, and probably got cancelled.

 

[Jesus Freak]

1.) Female villains are up there. Cackletta and Shadow Queen.

2.) And Nastasia is never fought.

1.) I meant a separate award.

2.) I meant in general.

Till we next cross paths,
Susan

[ralphfan]

I was thinking we should have a whole set of "worst" awards. You know, things like worst system; game; character; boss; plot, stuff like that. I could present the awards and make a script (but that's a long way away, right?). Hope you get my point and see eye-to-eye with me.

ralphfan (el t0rtug0)

 

[ralphfan]

1) Add SMRPG; keep SPM; add the original PM.

14) Add them all; delete Lakitus; Lakitus and Koopas are two separate things; Lakitus aren't very prominent enemies.

[Wayoshi]

Boy, these "Anti-Awards" as Tucayo calls them seem to have some support...but there's only so much time we have...I'll have an answer on Friday on this matter.

 

[Stooben Rooben]

Boy, these "Anti-Awards" as Tucayo calls them seem to have some support...but there's only so much time we have...I'll have an answer on Friday on this matter.

I think they're a good idea as well. I fully back up the concept.

 

[Hobbes]

Thanks to all of the people who support them, maybe we should take them in consideration the next meeting!

 

[Wayoshi]

There was a lot of opposition in chat tonight to it, but not enough people to really make a vote on it...

 

[Stooben Rooben]

Aw, I had just made it into chat when I found out the meeting was cancelled.

 

[Hobbes]

Werent you going to put a poll for anti awards, Wayo?

 

[Wayoshi]

We deleted SPM and added PM & SMRPG in A1, and added all 3 species in A14 and removed Lakitus (or merged).

A16-25 was done tonight:

16. Favorite Power-Up (Mushroom, Fire Flower, Ice Flower, P-Wing, Starman, Kuribo’s Shoe, Feather, Hammer Suit, Mega Mushroom, Wing Cap, Metal Cap)
17. Favorite MK Item (Red Shell, Blue Shell, Star, Lightning, Boo, Fake Item Box, Golden Mushroom, Mega Mushroom)

Ideas for A19 now welcome. Pixls simply aren't the same as the partners in the rest of the series, so...yeah.

 

[Stooben Rooben]
