Here you can make suggestions for this year's special category. Please give a reason why the category is fitting for this year.
You can make suggestions until Tuesday, 11:30am GMT, after that there will be a poll.
Edit: There is a poll now. You can vote until Friday, 11am GMT. (Not Thursday like I said, because I also made the poll later)

While I'm aware that it won the poll, what exactly makes a particular award "special"? If we fiddle with the categories every year, I don't know that I see how one award that specifically rotates is any different to the others that change.

It is a special award because it should fit to the year (the current calendar year or the past year since the last Darkies).
And the point is that normally there should be no discussions in the future about which category to drop, because there will always be a free space for a new one.

I see. That's fair enough.

Yeah I think I'm behind on the whole organization thing, but didn't we start this discussion in the "Categories" thread already? Like, "Most Missing" and so on? Or was it decided that those categories will be part of the Bandies?

We started that there, but that was more generally, and now we are looking for concrete suggestions with reasons in this thread. In the other thread it will be more difficult to keep track because maybe other things will be discussed in between.

Most Missing is my suggestion for the special award then.

i want one for threesomes foursomes and moresomes. i dont care if theres lots of options, its just as valid as best pairing and highlights friendships among 667ers which is important because no one comes here for anything anymore besides the people they like.

Best speech is something different, it can't be voted for like the other categories, because we can't vote for that before the speeches are made. I'm thinking of a Best Award Presentation award which will be given additionally to 13 categories. Charles Vane is it okay if we call it best group? I still don't like it because of the flood of nominations which will probably all be very similar, and there might have to be some rules about how often each person or combination of people can be nominated there (same for best pairing), but if you suggest that here and people vote for it there's nothing I can do.

I do like that.
Also I like this best grouping idea. A disclaimer will be very useful in that category stating that the more groups a certain person or people are in, the more likely that votes will be split up between those by your fans(bad word but it will do for now) and the less likely an over nominated person is to win. That might help cut down on too many very similar groupings.
? I'm drunk yes but it makes sense to me.

actually, instead of this best grouping i think more like we should be loose with our definition of "pairing" .two categories so similar except for the amount of people in them doesn't sound as fun.

Best pairing was the biggest category last year, and if we have even more possibilites there would maybe be more nominations than options for a poll are possible. If we can keep the number of nominations for best pairing a bit lower this year, we can talk about extending it to groups of more than two people next year.
So you can think about what you want to do now, either keep the suggestion here and the category will maybe be added as special award for only this year, or look how best pairing goes and make the suggestion to change that category again next year and then it will stay for more than one year. That would probably make more sense, because yes, it is similar in some way, I just want to see first if it would even work to have even more possibilities for best pairing.
I think there is more difference though than the number of people. I think in a "best group" category it would be just about groups of friends and probably most people would vote for a group that includes themselves, because that's their group of friends which they like. Best pairing is different there, there are sometimes people nominated that have been shipped by someone else and don't even like the idea themselves sometimes, and most of all people don't necessarily only vote for their own best friends. That's another reason why I don't like the idea of best group, because I don't like if anyone has more chances for anything just because they have more friends. If you have lots of friends you already have lots of fun and happiness and shouldn't need an award to make others feel even more excluded.

Actually the time I said people can suggest things has been over for 5 hours, I just remembered that. Now I'm waiting for Charles Vane to say if she still wants to suggest Best Group or see how many best pairing nominations there are to maybe change that next year. As soon as she does that I will make a poll or not, depending if we have that suggestion or not. If we don't have it we will have only one suggestion (Most Missing) and just take that.
