Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brad Hindman" data-source="post: 1720722" data-attributes="member: 13961">If the long term goal of the ENnies is to achieve relevance to a broader section of gamers, the association with GenCon is obviously a large step towards this goal.  The next logical step is obtaining the involvement of other communities (online or otherwise); however, acquiring whole-hearted involvement may be problematic as long as the awards are called the ENnies.  Has there any thought been given to changing the name? (I apologize if this has already been brought up and discusses ad nauseum).I realize that the name 'ENnies' has already started to gather a mantle of respectability about itself and that changing the name of the award could be a set back on that account.  But, with the name as is, the promoters will probably find it hard sailing to get the awards accepted by some of the larger online communities that are already well entrenched .... Besides, I kind of like the word play invoked by the name 'Genies'.Post Edit: I forgot to mention something in my original post.  I personally think there are better ways to get other communities involved without relinguishing control of the judges.  Just getting other sites to post prominant links to the voting booth would help dramatically.  Perhaps even more important is to continue the trend of nominating good non-d20 products. If the judges continue to select top notch products irregardless of game system, the reputation of the ENnies will continue to grow and members of other communities will come here to vote and make their opinions known.</blockquote>
