How about we split up Best RPG Maker Graphical into
Best RPG Maker User (Mapping)
Best RPG Maker User (Spriting)
I would also suggest a Project of the Year award, using all the Projects of the Month as candidates.I second that
Graphical really shouldn't be divided, because to me it's not about how good of a mapper they are or how good of a spriter they are or whatnot, but rather how well they mixed it all together to create a game that is overall visually appealing. The same goes for Technical and Creativity. I can see why you'd split them up, but if you divided it into specifics, there'd be so few canidates in each category that you're pretty much bound to know who's going to win before you even vote.
I'd like to add Best RPG Maker User (Musical). I know we already have Best Musician on the list, but just because someone like Halo or Arlen wins doesn't mean that they've made a game that is musically appealing. This would be for the RPG Maker who makes/uses music most effectively in their projects.
I also object to Least Favorite Staff Member and Most Disliked/Most Irritating Member, because people would be needlessly butthurt over just getting nominated for that category, let alone winning the award. But, if it's a category for only people like CJOnlyYou and Mattsaysfooey (IE, people we really don't care if they get butthurt or not), then I'd be all for it. Make it the Biggest Twat award. ;8
I don't think Most Used Smiley would work, because I think it's something that Roph can just check rather than us vote for.

There are a lot of good mappers on the forum, as well as a lot of good project storylines and enough pixel art spriters that the categories wouldn't have predefined winners.
There are at least three scripters on the forum excluding myself, but it would pretty much go to Zeriab - so maybe that isn't a great category. There are also a few eventers, but the thing is that having technical as a supercategory means it will always go to a scripter, since anyone who can script well knows their way around events or could pretty easily if they tried, simply by looking at the Interpreter class. I would like a way to reward eventers for their hard work, especially since having it as a super category ensures a bias against 2k3 and 2k, and I have seen a number of excellent event systems in those games, particularly that Zelda one.
The only one I think might be short of candidates would be the Art categories. Spriting: Caro, dollmage as well (she pops around now and agaian and was active enough in the year that she is worth considering), Atemu
Art Art: only one I can think of off the top of my head is NAM, but we could probably include whoever did the art for Gold Team (I forget who it was). Nessiah would be a good candidate as well.
I think there is enough talent in all of the areas to at least justify, if not warrant, the extra categories.

I third.
I disagree with you Zylos. While you're right, it's the combination of the two which makes the game look pretty; you cannot just group them together. They both use VERY different skills. It should just be divided into Mapping and Spriting, since those are the two major aspects which make up the game screen. I could see Battlers being thrown in there too, but that would be more of a Best Artist category.
We already know who would win that.
Oh and I suggest Worst Running Gag. (IT'S OVER 9000)

I would argue that the Worst and the Lamest are the same.

I agree with a Bean Bags Award. Maybe Best Beanie Baby or something cutesy like that.
It does a little bit, but it refers to bean bags made to look like animals, so I think it is positive. Most Supportive is a lame title.

could someone win Best RM User: Sprites -AND- Best RM User: Art?
or is that the one for face sets/battlers that doesn't seem to exist?
how about Best Use of Resources?
someone might not be great at spriting or drawing themselves, but they might have used their audio/sprites/tilesets that they found in a very unique way to present something differently or more interesting than their standard use.
I'm still against Least Favourite Moderator for feelings being hurt and possible :baww:.
Best NAMKCOR? Only if the real NAMKCOR is not allowed to be nominated for it.
hi =o
Most Debbie: Irockman1Debbie ???
Also i'm not sure how, but in some way i managed to completely miss zylos's comment :tpg:
Most loved refers to the person who is loved the most.
Holkeye could be the most loved, for his comments involving both sensemaking and hilariousness inspire most members to want to hug him, or at least be all LOL or that made alot of sense, thank you.
Zylos, you yourself could be most loved because you are furry and you run a shop that sells pancakes and porn ;o;.
And Arlen could win most loved because he is arlen.
lol but really, Nouman would win because he edits other people's posts.
Hopefully, i have gotten my point across. it has nothing to do with how attractive you are, just how epicly cool ;8
