Well, it is already mentioned in the Steam Autumn Sale thread but I thought it may be a good idea to separate the Sale discussion from the actual Steam Award discussion.

So, what do you think? Will it be interesting? Have you any games you will recommand and nominate? Does everyone understand the categories (I ask because there is one I have trouble with O.o)? Also, there can be obtain four badges by nominating games and some additional stuff. In total there are four tasks and every task will give you 25 XP on completion.

Feel free to write down what games you nominated in what category. It may serve as a good recommandation for other people too ^^

My vote for "Villain Most In Need Of A Hug" goes to most opponents I've met in CS:GO. No matter if they win or lose they sound so sad and/or angry, like the thing they need the most in this world is a hug, so sad

To be honest. The first person I considered for the “Villain Most In Need Of A Hug” Award was Jack as well ^^ And since I don't know to many games I will probably nominate him as well. It is good to see so many suggestions here because I only had ideas for one or two categories.

Although I am willing to agree with this custom category I am pretty sure that all categories with a "negative intention" (like this here or the biggest disappointment mentioned before) have no chance of being chosen.

Those mini games from Final Fantasy I totally forgot. Maybe I will chose the Chocobo Race from FFVII or Blitzball from FFX. A good suggestion ^^ Also I understand the frustration with Triple Triad. It was all good fun until this stupid combo (or whatever it is called) rule became mandatory -_- For one I didn't understand how it works and for second I couldn't get rid of it ....

No, I love the game. It's just how sometimes when you think you did everything to succeed and FM just beats you to the ground to prove how wrong you were in very humiliating way :) It was a tough one for me to jump from 08 to 16 especially as I'm no tactical genius. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about since you got some nice amount of hours in FM10 :) Always nice to see a fellow manager around. Have a nice weekend!

FM08 is probably the most daunting one in the series. I managed only a few hours before I returned to the comfort of 05, 06, 07.
