As much as I hate UOTY and am glad it was retired, I really like its format because it's epic. I am curious as to whether or not you guys would like to have a Character of the Year. As I see it, most of the drama in UOTY was due to users' desires to be popular. Since we haven't gotten a proper site contest since 2015, I thought why not have something fun here and do such a contest without it being about e-pop?

I'm leaning toward making it any fictional character who's ever appeared in a video game. So while this would include the likes of Darth Vader, Spider-Man, James Bond, Frodo, God, etc. it would not include real people or characters that don't usually interest nerds.

Also, I'm not going to host such an undertaking solo, so if there's enough interest I'd really like a co-host or two.

What do you guys think of all this?

It's socially odd to reject the existence of a monotheistic deity? I didn't realize that belief in "God" was mandated for social acceptance in this country. I thought we were supposed to be accepting of diversity.

tbh that was the other idea, but it means more fodder might get in like if somebody nominated a Grey's Anatomy character just to get dead last which is why I didn't want that >_>

I know we did Pokmon of the Year, too. Not going to do that again because it was just last year, I think, and Inviso just wrapped up the Pokmon Gauntlet contest.

I'd much rather do something broader, where people nominate 5 of their favorite characters (I'd think 240 total) - ones they'd think would do well. I would probably exclude religious figures of any kind, including mythology, to avoid offending anyone and being "divisive" like I intended to here. That is, if I was hosting it. If you guys want me to, I'll try, but I'll need help.

Hey Steiner, you want to co-host this with me? I'm game for that. I'm not playing around this time, promise!
