Today we will discuss which games should win our award for GAME OF THE YEAR.
Please consider what you would like to argue should be the winning item for each of the passing categories.
Consider who you would like to nominate as your electors. You may choose 3 electors to cast votes for you on your behalf. Persuade them as necessary. You may choose yourself once. The top 12 most nominated electors will assemble as our electoral tribunal, and will vote on the final categories. Feel free to message me directly with your nomination, or comment your nominations publicly. The electors are allowed to vote their own conscience.
This will be your last chance to nominate electors. Look over the previous discussions to see who you agree with and think would vote the way you want.

If you are an elector, let me know on what platforms we can discuss our nominations. I have Discord, .win, Saidit, Poal, and Reddit. Alternatively we could use u/acp_k2win 's Ruqqus I think.
The Elector nominations so far are:
That gives us 14 out of 12. I'm prepared to drop in or out depending on if people can make it. We can also go to just 4 (everyone who has >1 nomination), which would still maintain the same ratio if we can't agree upon 12 people. If you are an elector, let me know on what platforms we can discuss our nominations. I have Discord, .win, Saidit, Poal, and Reddit. Alternatively we could use u/acp_k2win 's Ruqqus I think.
I can do whatever platform.
.Win would be the best platform for me.
I have Saidit as well.
I also do have Reddit and Discord but in the spirit of working together to create new institutions, I think it might be best to not use them whenever possible.
I appreciate the nod, but I'd like to bow out. I haven't played anything released this year I care to nominate.
Okay.
What's the point of electors with such a small userbase? Representation isn't really necessary until it becomes impractical for individual voters to have their say, and it just encourages cliquism.
We should have a supreme decider, who all are free to petition with their points. This person should not be an idiot, so the masses should have little say in their appointment. I suggest electors.
My logic is it creates a core of people who are invested specifically in the community, and who have built enough social capital among the community to be trusted.
These individuals can adequately speak for the community, and also represent different sects and factions of the communities at different times. These electors also prevent brigading or vote manipulation, and it identifies someone who has accountability for the decision.
I feel that it doesn't encourage cliquism, it contains it. What I have seen from moderating KiA is that different posts attract different people, and effectively different factions in every post. This is to be expected as order emerges form chaos. Many individuals come together with shared interests and develop a sub-group anyway. The electors can reflect these sub-groups, and multiple choices for electors around individuals to diversify their interests and preferences into multiple electors, rather than hoping one and only one makes the one right choice as their sole avatar.
Just a check it seems you missed u/Chem self nomination.
I must have. I don't have it recorded anywhere.
That's two for ".win only" which kinda narrows it down.
Okay.
