How about not saying a game is eligible for GOTY in the list and then changing your mind about it after the votes come in. Thanks.

lmfao look at all this serious writeup about the way this site does its dumb goty awards this year:https://www.resetera.com/threads/goty-2018-wrap-up-future-planning.106093/----Hello community,Thank you to everyone for another thrilling Games of the Year event here at ResetEra! Now that the votes have been counted and the results published, we on the GOTY team would like to take the opportunity to talk about what went well and what could go better next time. With this now being the second year that the team has handled this event, we've identified several recurring issues that I am going to highlight and address in this thread.The IssuesVote Formatting & SpellingAlthough we've added tools to alleviate this issue, such as VoteBot and volunteers who alert voters to incorrect ballots, many posters are still formatting their votes incorrectly. Format mistakes make things harder for everyone involved! On a similar note, we've seen a lot of typos and spelling issues such as forgetting a colon in a game's name, leaving a letter off the end, forgetting a "the" at the start of a game name, and so on. This can result in votes not counting, and it creates additional work for vote tabulation to ensure that we've consolidated the votes for every misspelling and permutation of a game's name. This is something we want to try and reduce as much as possible going forward.Remasters/RemakesRemakes and remasters have been a common point of confusion. We received a lot of questions why a game such as Hollow Knight and Shadow of the Colossus was not eligible for Game of the Year voting while Let's Go, for example, was. While we've tried to be clear about what criteria is used to define the remake/remaster category, the results are still generating a lot of confusion.CategoriesThere have been some issues with how categories are handled for GOTY voting. Because GOTY voting is a single ballot for Game of the Year, there is no individual voting for specific categories such as best RPG and such. Instead, we use meta tags to handle category placement and results. For example, God of War had the following meta tags: Playstation 4 and Action-Adventure. This means that the game was only eligible for those categories, and the votes for the game in those categories are the same as the votes for the overall GOTY list.This can create strange scenarios where a game, for example, has a bad port on one system but still receives a high result for that platform's results because the game was fine on another system. Another strange scenario: In 2018 voting, Assassin's Creed Odyssey placed on the Best Switch Game list because of the release of the game in Japan which resulted in the meta tag for Switch being added to the game. It is clear team that meta tags for category placement are not producing satisfactory results.Proposed ChangesWith the issues outlined above in mind, we're looking at making the following changes to the GOTY voting process for 2019:Category Nomination RoundThe first major change would be changing the way the voting process works by adding an additional round of voting. Currently, voting is done in a single round with GOTY + categories done at the same time using the same list. For 2019, we'd like to add a round of voting before the GOTY voting which would likely be called "Category Nominations."Category Nominations would be a round of voting where voters nominate games for consideration for certain categories (excluding GOTY). Ideally, voters would be able to nominate 3 games for each category. Once Category Nomination is over, the top 5 results from each category would be the nominees for that category and eligible for voting in the final round.The final round of voting would look much like the current system with a general Top Ten GOTY list for the GOTY category. In addition, voters would be able to vote for one game for each category. The end result would be the standard top twenty list and category results that are not based on meta tags.Here's a simplified breakdown of it:Category Nomination roundNominate up to three games for each categoryNominations are un-ordered (order does not matter, each nomination is one point)Normal roundTop 5 from each category are eligible for voting for that category in the final round (choose one)Standard GOTY vote like previous yearsWe believe this will allow for more accurate categories as category winners will not simply be determined off of the GOTY vote list. It will hopefully give opportunity for other games to shine and help drive discussion about aspects of games that haven't been covered in previous years. As part of this round voting, we would look at expanding the categories currently offered. Because meta tags wouldn't be used for determining category eligibility, there could be categories introduced that we weren't previously able to offer such as Best Story or Best Music.Below are some of the categories that the team would like to see added. Do note that this list is no where near finalized. This is simply a rough draft of categories that we could include if we changed to a two round voting system.All Existing Platform CategoriesAll Existing Genre CategoriesBest Narrative/StoryBest Voice ActingBest GraphicsBest Ongoing GameBest Artistic DirectionBest MusicBest Indie GameBest Sound DesignBest Level DesignGame We Can't Stop PlayingMost Fun with FriendsMost "Badass" GameCutest GameCraziest GameBest Competitive MultiplayerBest Guilty Pleasure GameBest Character Designs/Best CharactersBest Niche Game/Best UnderratedBest Experimental GameVote FormattingIn order to address formatting issues, we're looking at tech solutions to streamline the voting process. Rest assured, we know that people like to the format and create their own lists to look back on later, so even if there is a tech solution found, we would not remove the GOTY voting thread. Instead, the GOTY voting thread might simply become a thread for you to show others how you voted, formatting your list however you want.Remake/Remasters EligibilityGoing forward, we'd like to either clarify the rules regarding what is considered a remake/remaster and what isn't. Resident Evil 2, for instance, is a substantial overhaul from the original and thus should be eligible for GOTY. This was the case with Pokemon Let’s Go. Shadow of the Colossus, however, was simply a graphical upgrade, and in theory should not be eligible. That said, we could always have a “Best Remake” category. Simply put, if a game remake/remaster is MORE than just a graphics overhaul, then it would be eligible for GOTY.The alternate approach could be that, if voters feel that the category system ensures remakes/remasters will not overwhelm the system, that such games are eligible for GOTY and categories. Another alternative could be that the games are eligible for GOTY and not categories or even categories and not GOTY. There's a variety of different options and approaches we could take, and it largely depends on what you all want.ConclusionWe are seeking your feedback regarding the proposed changes to the 2019 GOTY process. While we cannot respond to every post in this thread, we'll try to respond where and when we can. Our intention is to foster this discussion in the community and collect feedback. Either late this month or early next month, we will provide a breakdown of the received feedback and finalize what changes, if any, we'll be making to 2019 GOTY voting. Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to your thoughts!
Should adopt an official database of game names. Maybe not actually spend money on the API, but at least prompt voters to refer to https://www.igdb.com when choosing the names, that way you guarantee accuracy in the case of odd edge cases (like let's say somebody votes for Punch-Out Wii versus Punch Out).

This thread's gonna make my blood pressure spikeTake deep breathsRemember KorraRemember the vindicationDeep breathsIt's always the same. Every discussion about queer characters in media is always the same bullshit from the same people.
Things that are not underrepresented in blockbuster movies:Women who are friends with other womenWomen who don't have love interestsThings that are fucking nonexistent in blockbuster movies:Women who are queerGet the fuck out with this "Uh well I just think it's swell that you got women who are platonic friends cause you never see that! It's so great she's got no love interest!" God damn. Everyone deserves love. This idea that Carol Danvers or Elsa or whoever must remain chaste and sterile for the rest of their lives because it's apparently more important to show women who never experience love in their lives than it is to portray queer women onscreen, like, get the fuck out. Stop pretending you're an ally. You don't give a shit, you're just uncomfortable with queer people in movies. You don't have to admit it, to us or to yourself, because we already see through you with your Olympic gymnastic routines you have to pull off every time you explain why nobody in movies is ever queer or should ever be queer.Let queer people claim characters once in a while. Even if it's never confirmed, just let them have a character to claim from time to time. Lord knows we'll never get anything else. The idea that you look at queer people who are celebrating and embracing a character and your first reaction is to straightsplain to them why they're delusional shipper idiots who don't understand filmmaking is offensive, rude, and cruel. Get the fuck out.This is all I'll say on it before I lose my cool and somebody bans me or something for speaking out against the stupid bullshit I always see on this forum and elsewhere.
Given the nature of this website, we feel it is best to not signal boost them. Thread locked.

cancel culture is so bizarre. This attachment to celebrities is something I don't understand. It is a symptom our collective loneliness that we look toward people we don't even know as emulators of virtue? I don't why these guys waste their time and energy on this stuff.
