This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Originally posted at the Forge, I thought this might spark some lively discussion over here:

New this year, I've opened up the judge selection to non-EN Worlders.  This means that you don't have to be a member of EN World to be a judge, nor to vote.  Even if Forge peeps don't/can't run for judge, I'd like to encourage 'em all to cast their votes for the judges for whom they feel represent best their interests.

Don't really care.  Some truly deserving folks get some ENnies, but like any other awards ceremony, there's a lot of politics involved that I don't care for.  It's nice when someone who really deserved it wins (such as XRP), not so nice when an award such turns into a self-congratulating circle jerk.

I would say Zach or Mike to be honest. I would nominate them just because they seem very knowledgeable about a wide range of games and more importantly, have little bias to d20 (as well as not being against d20).

That said, I am sure there are plenty of folks on the site who have similar experience in games, I just wonder if there are as many with as unbiased a view of games (meaning, I am sure there are but I do not know them as well ;) )

I would support Mike.  I've got ties to HinterWelt and Palladium, and think it would be best if I didn't put myself forward.  Alternately, jrients would be a good pick, as well.

I think MCrow or Jrients would be great choices.  I'm too controversial, and others I could think of here might be tied up by allegiances to eligible companies.

Jrients in particular might be a good choice because he's known/respected both here and on RPG.net.

Yes, Jeff would be a good choice.:win:

If he is not interested, I would be happy to represent The RPG Site. Not that that is the ultimate purpose, giving the best games the awards is the purpose, but you know what I mean.:D

Y'know, I was an ENnies judge for two years. Caesar Slaad was one for even more. Just sayin,' is all...
