[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3333524, member: 10177"] [B]Why did I decide to throw my hat in for a judge slot?[/B] Let me quote myself from another messageboard: "...I like the desired goal the ENNIEs board has, and I hope it is succesful in its move in that direction, without losing credibility with the fans of the RPG industry. Plus gaining credibility with the fans who have yet to learn about the awards and how it works. I don't pay attention to the Oscars, Emmy, Grammy's, etc... but I pay attention to this award because it is the closest I have seen to being truly a "fan" award that has wide industry recognition. Anyways, I think it is a worthwhile award, otherwise I wouldn't even put my hat in the ring to be a judge, and I think it is a great pat on the back of publishers able to win any of them because they know it was fans, their customers, saying "You did a great job with this particular product in this particular way." I only got to talk to maybe a dozen or so publishers last year at GenCon, but they all said they like the awards because of who it is telling them their product is great, the fans. So I support that ideal. This year I would like to be directly involved in the process above and beyond voting and winning auctions to help fund them." [B]Will I be at GenCon?[/B] I sure plan on being there! [B]Have I ever been a ENNIES judge before?[/B] No. [B]Past ENNIEs Awards I have disagreed with?[/B] Plenty. The products I liked and voted for didn't win. Which is another reason why I would like to be a judge this year, so I can know every product that is nominated, and see how much I agree with the voting of the fans when it is all done. I want to see if intimately knowing every product will give me a different perspective on the final votes, and see if I can determine how much differently I would vote this year compared to past years because I would be familiar with every single nominated product. I don't like seeing a product listed as a nominee and have no idea what it is when I cast my votes. There has usually been one or two in several categories that I had never even heard of, let alone read or played. Even so, when my fav products didn't win I could see why the other product was chosen as being better by more voters. [/QUOTE]
