With TWR Awards of this season having rounded up, I would like to reflect on this event with you guys. Compared to previous years, this one was pretty lackluster. Honestly, kind of disappointing if I may say so.
However, instead of sobbing over it I want to find a way to improve this and to make sure next year is more successful than this year, and even the years before that.
So what went wrong here, well the big issue was a lack of votes, both in people voting and the average amount of votes placed.
Now, don't get me wrong, I do NOT blame anyone for this. I am as much responsible for this as anyone else.
So let's fix this. First, I've created a poll with all the possible options I think are the cause for someone to not vote.
We would really appreciate it if you could select any and all options that apply to you and, if you'd like, clarify your choice(s) in a comment below.
Next to that I have a few open question. Feel free to answer any and all of them as you wish.
- How would you change TWR Awards for next season?
- Were there enough public announcements for the awards? (In the Situation Room and our Discord server) Would you want more and in other places?
- Do you think public voting is a good thing or should it be private?
So to round this up, let me start the discussion by saying that my main problems were the timing where I was on a summer break and didn't have a lot of time + just forgetting about it.
I think a great improvement would be to make the next Awards "easier". I'm not exactly sure how yet, but improve it in some way that makes voting an easier and less consuming experience, while still being a fun highlight of TWR.
As for public voting, I think it does support a sense of discussion and a push for others to also vote.
