A year ago during Game of the Decade, I ran Game of the Decade of the Year (GotDotY). This contest adopted the historical User of the Year format from Board 8 lore to determine Board 8's Game of the Decade. If I remember correctly, Celeste won that contest. It's all a blur at this point a year later. However, I still want to run a UotY-formatted contest again and this time I feel more prepared and not just excited about GotD and restless from quarantine life.

Games are great, but this fomat might work better with more individualized participants. That's why this time around we are going to use video game characters! I present to you: Video Game Character of the Year (VGCotY). It doesn't have the same ring as gotdoty, but it's still derivative of User of the Year, which is the entire point of this contest. For the uninitiated, please check out the Board 8 wiki for what User of the Year was (and may this always be past tense) and how it operated: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/User_of_the_Year

This contest will feature 200 (and maybe more if nomination totals support it) characters being thrown in a blender while we watch them spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion. There will eight rounds (plus a prelim round if nominations totals support it) we use to narrow the field until we are left with one winner. There will eventually be a Results and Discussion topic where I will post at the top all of the rounds and their voting formats. Most of them will be recognizable to those familiar with UotY, with the exception of Round 7 which has always been nebulous. Given my decision to use 200 characters as opposed to 220, the numbers will be different at the start as compared to normal, but it is mostly the same.

This topic will be used for nominations. Nominations are a trickier beast this time around since 1) there are more characters out there in the history of gaming than games in the 00s decade and 2) I don't have the GotD bracket to go off of to give me practically half the field from the start. As such, this will be a large process and I ask you all to be patient with me. I am very prone to human error as I will be tallying nominations largely by hand. In the next post, I will list the rules for nominating.

NOMINATIONS

Rules for nominating:
--Nominate up to 30 characters.
--Please nominate by listing the character's name and the game/series in parenthesis.
--For characters that did not originate in a video game, there must be a convincing argument that their popularity stems from video games (example: Geralt is eligible, Batman and Darth Vader are not). I will be the final judge in all instances, but will listen to these arguments. If the character offers a unique portrayal of an existing character, I'll generally allow it. For example, the Gods from Hades are eligible. This part could get sticky, so I ask that if there is any doubt at all you inquire about it in the topic before officially nominating it. Please work with me and respect any decisions that are made.
--For every five characters nominated, you get one double nomination you may use (example: nominate characters A, B, C, D, E and then you may double nom character A). Using a double nomination does not count as one of your 30 nominations. This means you get up to 6 double nominations in total.
--Mark double nominations in bold.
--You do not have to submit all 30 nominations at once. Feel free to do it in waves.
--Characters with multiple variants count as one character (examples: Link, despite his many iterations, is one character. Player-customized characters such as Paragon/Renegade Commander Shepard are one character).
--There is no limit on the number of nominations from a game or series, but using all your nominations on one game or series is discouraged and will make me sad.
--I cant stop you from trading nominations, but please dont do it. Make your nomination list personal to you.
--Nominating multiple times with alts is lame so don't do it.
--If nomination totals call for it, up to 300 characters will advance to a potential prelim round. Otherwise 200 characters will advance to Round One.
--Nominations will last roughly two weeks, though can be cut off if participation stagnates depending on my schedule.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Just to clarify, a double nomination can be used every 5th nomination. You don't need to nominate 5 characters before double nominating a 6th.

Character A
Character B
Character C
Character D
Character E

This is acceptable.

Not right now. In the event that we use a prelim round, I'll consider giving the most highly nominated characters a bye. For the characters with the most nominations, I may use the nomination tally to decide which characters are on top of each Round 1 grouping and allow them to skip the prelim round if it's needed. It's pretty fluid at the moment because I don't know what the potential quantity of nominations is. Sorry for the vagueness.

Thank you for catching that. I've also corrected the error of Nathan Drake only having one nomination. I now have him listed on my sheet as two nominations. Actually, it appears I missed most of Jesse's first nomination. My apologies. I've recorded it now.

I was wondering the same. Its a great idea and it should be easy enough for everyone to post a few video game characters.

It's not always easy to pick your favorite characters. Plus, the double nomination system lends itself to a bit of strategy - do you use it early, or wait until later to see if your preferred character gets enough nominations from other users?

I'm not too worried yet. There's a two week length for nominations and as more characters get on the board, people are reminded of who they want to nominate. I'm still sitting on 15 nominations for this purpose.

Some people might be put-off by the scope. It's one thing to have a popularity contest for a franchise like SMFFFC where most participants know most contenders, or for a less specific contest like GotD where you've both restricted the field somehow and the entries are larger-scale, but it's another when everything is fair game and the contest lacks the natural gravitas that site-wide contests do.
