The people category was more of an idea to promote people the help more, maybe a few categories he listed were a bit much. It was just an idea.
I figured for most commented and things of that sort it would take someone to look at them, because obviously if someone signs up a bunch of fake accounts or constantly double posts "on accident" or things like that, they shouldn't count, unless automation were utilized to calculate all the successive posts made by the same person/ip, maybe even make it so the author comments do not count.

Could come down to nomination. If you want your game in the running, sign it up? Doesn't sound like such a bad idea, does it? We'd have to give plenty of notice though.
The people awards aren't a bad idea in principle, but it seems like a lot less trouble to just award the games directly. We could maybe have awards like most GOTWs won or most articles written--things that are more objective. And maybe even things like best avatar. That's more neutral than most helpful and unhelpful members.
I think putting your own game in to be evaluated as a nominee would be great, but there would have to be a few rules set in place like, only one category per game, only one game per person, only one "putting-in" per person, mainly to give everyone a shot at winning, but also to protect against everyone spamming their entry.
Still looking for anyone with a camera to host, but also maybe some speciall guests? Speeches if you win? A huge problem with a live stream is different time zones, though...

Honestly, a pre-recorded show could be better. I wouldn't mind participating in the show, although my camera isn't that great, and most of my other money is tied up in my work, a camera isn't exactly in the budget. We'll see how getting into school goes and I might be able to get something from that.

Well, first order of business would be deciding which categories would actually be used. Then I would have to find someone with a camera to host the show. People would need a way to submit their games to the awards, and the community would need a way to vote, so I could start up a website, unless all that could be done here. After that, I would have to wait until the end of the year so people could get in all of their projects and people would have time to vote.
When all the winners are decided, the winners would have to be messaged asking them to record or write an acceptance speech (if they want to), which would give people an opportunity to say something memorable and thank their fans I'm no professional, but also no slouch when it comes to video editing, so I could put all the announcements and speeches together, with maybe some exclusive game footage or other special events (TDC songs and art? TDC poems? stories?). And of course a flashy intro. Of course, anyone could do editing if they think they have mad skillz.
I could then post the video on YouTube and post a link to it. None of this is for sure, but it seems like a reasonable plan to me. Any suggestions or improvements would be appreciated.

I agree with OMC... ditch the "Best People" category. "Angriest member" hardly boosts ones popularity in the community! Also, the "Most/Least in Projects and Downloads" should go.
I have to admit I was thinking of doing something like this a couple of years or so ago, but I was lazy back then and couldn't be bothered
I've been working on some websites for a while, but when I'm done with those I'll start working on this Also, I need to decide on whether the winner should be judged by judges or by users voting...

Just my opinion.
I'd totally be up for one.
