The GPRO Oscars have become a recurring topic in GPRO for many years now and my suggestion is to make it more official to include:
- notifications for when the new nomination & voting threads are created
- official voting to be commenced on the Polls /gb/ViewPolls.asp section of the game in its own subsection
- GPRO Crew status for those willing to keep the thread running
- in categories such as the 'post of the season' awards, allow managers to 'flag' posts throughout a season and refer back to them once the nomination/voting commences
- prize pool for winning managers & teams (maybe few or just 1 - the hall of fame award, for example)
Do you think this would add some extra interest in the game & add activity to the forums?

Great idea Luke - love it :)
Winning Silly Games/hosts maybe get a special logo or something to show the community it's an "approved" game?

Endless possibilities in that direction :)

Kevin Parkinson having a 'baldest manager' badge and Mark Webster having a 'Album that sounds most like ringtone music' badge on their profiles. That needs to happen

I like this idea. There used to be a notification whenever anything was posted on the News and Interviews thread, but I'm assuming that anyone can start a thread on there now so that was disabled?

Incorrect. Only the ones that have the "rights".

Fair, then why isn't the notifications working?

I like it with Kyle as host. Why change what is already working?

See I would love this but I heard apparently the admins dont want to notification it but this was before i started hosting them
Would certainly increase activity tenfold and make more people realise
Quote ( Luke Frost @ July 29th 2020,13:03:20 ) official voting to be commenced on the Polls /gb/ViewPolls.asp section of the game in its own subsection
This would make my job half easier but then I wonder if it requires either more work or would people even see it?
Quote ( Luke Frost @ July 29th 2020,13:03:20 ) GPRO Crew status for those willing to keep the thread running
That might be asking for too much :p we would have to name the team recerewnamated

The amount of times you see a post and think that's Oscar's worthy then they come back around and nothing is said about it because you forgot is annoying for most!
Quote ( Luke Frost @ July 29th 2020,13:03:20 ) prize pool for winning managers & teams (maybe few or just 1 - the hall of fame award, for example)
Could work. Bit sceptical about this only because of the way some voting works with some nominations

I dont even have rights to post in there :p

Honestly i dont think 95% to maybe even 99% of people could host the Oscar's. Hosting a game is one thing, Oscar's actually take dedication and an awful lot of time. Literally ask anyone else who has hosted it in the past
Quote ( Jon Beagles @ July 29th 2020,14:09:10 ) Winning Silly Games/hosts maybe get a special logo or something to show the community it's an "approved" game
Why limit to just that. Have a badge for all of the 15 main ones and somewhere on the profile they appear

With all respect, I don't think Oscars are the thing one should test/prove their hosting abilities with.
I hosted the Oscars only 1 time but as Kyle said, it took me an awful lot of time to come up with the BBCodes & charts, etc.
I only had F1FG in my brief hosting history and I was hesitant to step up for the Oscars because it's a show rather than a silly game. Silly games come and go but this is a tradition I'd like to see it going forward.

Who has given you that 'rights to host'?
I oppose you also hosting.....
I will be a better host than you....

Official or not but this topic is going to win an Oscar for sure :XD

Lets face it if Sagar hosts, first thing which goes against him wrong and he will disapear like he does in nearly every silly game :)
And just to stay on topic , I think making it offical is a good idea :)

Given that the oscars are community awards, I imagine they should be hosted by someone the community wants.
And it seems to me that the majority of the community likes what Kyle is doing and appreciates the effort he puts in to hosting them every season.

True true, can't see why W&C would like to see their 20 underachieving oscars on their profile :D Or maybe people should see that other people think they are under achieving
What suggestions have i got, hmm. Maybe make it easier for people to suggest miscellaneous category's. Like its fun trying to think of some, but then my small brain runs out of power and can't think of anymore. At the moment they only way i can get suggestions is posting in the old thread
Going back to the polls things however maybe it would be better. At the moment there is 2 ways to vote which has made things easier for me by mean of preparing stuff but also harder because i still have to go through every PM and check to see if the vote is valid, having one place to do the votes that isn't a PM or a poll on sheets but have it tied to the manager would be ideal, like a website like for example Max's or even say the World Cup (i dont have the brain power for that)
I think certainly though Notification is the big point. Especially with now the short turnaround between end of season and start of season, there isn't a huge amount of time for people to actually put the votes in. You literally have Sunday to Friday, and while this could be enough time as surely everyone would log in, it still feels too short. Having that notification would lift it a lot!
I can't think of any more suggestions, some are like self ones, some are more what if ones which won't change either way if something happens or not!!

Okay, we'll do it my way. One of you is doing Oscars, the other is doing Grammys. Then someone else hosts GPRO Nobel ceremony to nominate me for GPRO peace prize after sorting out this brutal confrontation of arguments.
