Good evening! My name is Mark Green and I'm a 2010 ENnies Judge candidate.

I won't bother to re-post all my answers to the questionnaire here; you can view that online at http://www.ennie-awards.com/nominations/j_green.asp

I will say that I'm strictly a hobby enthusiast and not an "industry guy." In other words, gaming isn't part of my profession. I don't write reviews for a living and I've never worked for a gaming company. I play strictly for fun and have been gaming for 25 years, the last 10 of which have been with my current group. Most of that time, I've been a GM, but I like to take a break as a player once in a while.

I've played alot of games along the way (including board games, miniatures, and card games). My mainstay will always be fantasy RPG, with my original "Red Box" Basic D&D set and 3.5 OGL competing for favorite. I also enjoy all things Star wars (WEG d6 and Saga). Mouseguard is a recent favorite as well.

Even though I have my favorites, I will be open and objective as a Judge. I love both the crunch and the flavor and like to see a nice balance between the two. Originality is always appreciated, whether it is original mechanics, concepts, or even just an interesting twist on a staple concept.

I hope you take the opportunity to vote in the coming week, and especially that you decide to vote for me as a Judge for the 2010 ENnies. For me, that would offer an awesome opportunity to give something back to the gaming community.

-Mark

Hello, I'm Megan. After over 30 years of role-playing it's time to put something back.

But why me? Best way for you to decide is for you to see how I look at games. I run a website - http://www.rpg-resource.org.uk/ - on which I post a lot of reviews, mostly on evenings and weekends as I'm a teacher in 'real life.' Come and have a glance around, and if you like the way I think, please vote for me.

Hello all, My name is Sean D. Parker and I am in the running to be your 2010 ENnies Judge. I've been a gamer for 26 years. Gaming has played a big part in my life and I want to give something back to the hobby I enjoy so much.

You can read all about me here: http://www.ennie-awards.com/nominations/j_parker.asp

The ENnies are very important to the gaming community. It is you the fans that make a difference. Please take the time to participate by voting for next years judges. You can vote here:

Thank you for your consideration.

Yup, the Judges are arguably the most important part of the process. It is their job to decide what products get nominated.

So, if you don't agree with the nominations that get made, the best way to change that is to make sure you vote for judges whose views on gaming mesh with yours.

Hello!

My "real" name is Scott St. John, and I would appreciate it if you would vote for me for ENnie judge. I have been an avid RPGer/Wargamer for approximately 30 years, and I am a veteran of many different game systems, from 1E D&D to PFRPG, Champions to Mutants and Masterminds, Traveller (both incarnations), Star Wars (d6 and SAGA), Chill, Call of Cthulhu, and many more.

I have been obsessed with gaming for as long as I can remember, and look at the possibility of becoming an ENnie judge as my opportunity to give back to the gaming community by promoting those gaming products that are the most original and highest quality get the recognition they deserve.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you vote for Scott St. John for ENnie Judge!

I agree with Hans - the real strength of the ENnies over many industry awards programmes is its openness and democracy. Everyone interested in a hobby has their own opinions on what's good and what's not - consider the annual debate over the Oscars - but you rarely get to say what is to be considered or who's going to do the considering. Or at best they tack on a 'Public Choice' award (like in the MOBOs).

With the ENnies, 'ordinary' fans can stand for Judge, vote for the Judges, submit games for consideration (you don't have to have published it, although you do have to stump up for the copies!) and then vote on the shortlist prepared by the Judges.

Hi everyone -

I wanted to take a few minutes to mention that the ENnies judge elections are in the the home stretch with only a couple days left (voting ends Sunday).

If you've voted, I want say thanks for participating. If you haven't voted yet, I'd like to encourage you to head on over to http://www.ennie-awards.com/voting/jvoting.asp and vote for me (Mark Green) and your other favorite candidates.

Win or lose, it's been fun. I've had the opportunity to get acquainted with a number of new forums and, answer questions, and discuss various aspects of gaming. Overall, it's been a really neat experience and I'm glad I've been able to be a part of it.

Thanks again.

-Mark

Just so... it's been fascinating and the best bit has been finding several forums with interesting people in them.

If you haven't voted yet, please consider doing so; and if you have (whether or not it was for me) thank you for participating in the ENnies process.

I think this is possible the most number of Judges that have ever posted on this message board. I guess I'll have to watch my smack-talk here.
