Hall of Legends
« on: December 19, 2011, 10:44:32 pm »

I noticed that we don't have one of these on this board. While the Hall of Legends thread in the Community Games and Stories board had a few items listed for forum games, they didn't cover too many of them. There are several other really great games here that I think deserve this sort of recognition, and, with that in mind, I present to you...

||| The Hall of Legends |||
Forum Game Edition

Qualifications:
In order to enter the Hall of Legends, a game must be nominated and receive ten votes from members of the forum. In order to be nominated, you just have to type a little blurb on the game that show's that it's interesting or well-loved enough to be worth reading through even if you didn't play in it. Plot typically is a must-have, since new readers have to be able to understand why the game is interesting; as a rule of thumb, if the game has a lot of inside jokes that only the players will get, it probably doesn't fit here. If the game is really hard to follow for people who didn't play it, it probably doesn't belong here. When nominating a game, post your nomination in bold, so I can tell you're serious.

Nominating Games:
When nominating a candidate, please type up a little summary of the game and post a link for other readers to peruse. Please do not nominate your own games, because, epic though they may be, it's evident that you may be a tad biased towards your own game.

Voting:
After a game has been nominated and the nomination has been accepted, a post will be made by me stating that the game in question is up for voting. If you think the game deserves to be put here, quote the entire post that I make and put your vote for it in bold, so I know you're being assertive. Be sure to only vote once for each game, or Big Brother will know you're cheating. Finally, please only vote for games that actually are good enough to be posted; while your friends might have games going, don't be compelled to vote for them if they aren't up to scratch (and by 'up to scratch', I actually mean 'totally awesome').

Removing Games from the List:
If you think a game does not deserve to be here, but was put up anyway, it takes ten votes against the game to remove it. Similar to nominating games, be sure to post your removal proposal in bold, so I know you dislike that game. Also be sure to write a couple sentences to a paragraph on why exactly the game doesn't deserve it's illustrious position here.

Categories:
The Hall of Legends is organized into a set of categories similar to the Forum Game List. When nominating a game, be sure to include which category it should go in.

Elves of Amanereli:
Status - Ongoing  ::  Link

The timeless epic of an elven caravan. Set upon reaching a distant dwarven fortress, the titular elves begin the long journey through dangerous lands.  Complete with beautiful illustrations by DarkerDark, the caravan fights through elephants, frogmen, titans, and encounters one brave turtle with their cargo of more elephants, hypocritical wooden products, and, of course, textiles of the rope reed variety. Will they make it to their destination alive? That remains up to the characters. Includes elephants stoned out of their minds, lots of dead elves, and a snazzy piece of reptilian headgear.

...didn't we used to have one of these? I thought we used to have one of these...

Anyway, I nominate You are minifig. It's the glorious tale of Bay12 being handed a bucket of LEGOS and told to save Christmas. It then progresses exactly like you'd think it would.

I nominate Adventure Guy. It develops from the archetypal illustrated forum game to a more complex story that addresses morality, free will, and what it means to be human. Plus it has some great theme music and is the only illustrated suggestion game to ever finish on these boards.

I nominate every single 2 page suggestion game I've made. No, just kidding.

But I agree for Adventure Guy.

We did indeed. If I remember correctly, it fell through because there weren't enough people interested in voting, and there just weren't enough games at the time everyone considered good enough to warrant having a hall in the first place.

Yea to Adventure Guy
Yea to You are Minifig
