Close2015 currently has 324 total nominations!
“Mother of god…”
“Mother of god…”
So I just finished nominating all of my Misao picks thus far for this year and have just discovered that not a lot of you people have been voting as regularly as you should be (shame).
With only 324 nominations casted thus far, and getting pretty close to the start of November, it’s somewhat alarming that we have so very few nominations this year compared to other years.
I know that these numbers will pick up quite a bit as we get closer to the end of the year and all, but at this continued pace this year could be one of the lowest turnouts for the Misaos since two-thousand-freakin’-nine. (And I remember that year quite well, mind you. *sob, sob*)
- So why is this currently a thing? Is it because there aren’t as many good or notable games out there to vote for this year compared to other years? Is it because this year has a different category setup with a lot more choices than before? Is it because a lot of you haven’t had much of an opportunity to play a lot of games this year – or do we blame it all on a possible scapegoat this time around, like the recent release of RPG Maker MV or that blasted Gender and Race topic? (Damn that topic!!!)
Or maybe the whole Misao thing isn’t as much of a draw any more as it used to be…and I can firmly understand why, as a lot of the past winners in the past have been subjected to more question more than a “oh yeah, that game is awesome and stuff and I’m glad that it won” sort of reaction.
Hopefully things will start to pick up soon... I just thought that I would bring some attention to it, that's all.

Do we have any Tumblr-backed nominations that'll sweep the awards this year making any votes we have effectively useless?
Also, the game that'll get most of my nominations for this year hasn't been completed yet, but it will be soon.

Blank Dream? Aria’s Story? Those are the only two popular ones that come to mind for me.
Which game is that, Red_Nova? :P

While I like the idea...
1) I don't play too many games from here, meaning I have much less options to choose from. Hell, I'm not even sure I played anything that was released this year!
2) I wonder if a lot of people are in the same boat, meaning that there may be plenty of people who only play and vote for the stuff that gets front-page-coverage or mass-internet-appeal.
Like, if Blank Dream is eligible for votes, I'm pretty damn sure it'll see it sweep at least two categories.

Yeah kentona how dare you be around when Tumblr was created. Jeez, the nerve of some people.

Aria's Story couldn't sweep since it's not marked as a completed game. Blank Dream though... hm. Well, I haven't played either one, so I can't comment on them. If they deserve them, then great.
Which game is that, Red_Nova? :P
It's a seeeeeeecret. At least until a prediction thread is made. Then I'll gush harder than a friggin geyser.
EDIT: Or maybe not most of them. I just noticed that the categories have been changed, so there's a lot more slots to pick games. Cool!

That IS basically how I'm using it these days... :V
Feels like a lot of projects got held off or delayed in order to move them over to MV. It may be my bad sense of perception, but it doesn't seem like we've had very many games come out this year.
