DarK_RaideR</p><p> <strong>Comments</strong>: DarK_RaideR has consistently improved in his presentation while also consistently producing and presenting a wide variety of diaries. In 2019, he has presented proper puro, whacky comedy, joshi, hardcore, Americana -- many at the same time and without sacrificing any quality.</p><p> </p><p> 2. sportsfanmas</p><p> <strong>Comments</strong>: I first saw sportsfanmas do a diary with an SMW diary (he may have done some before that, I don't know), but I do know that his MLW diary has consistently gotten better and he has shown significant improvement in presentation.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Best Diary Not To Win DOTM Of The Year Award (Must have been active in 2019 but never won DOTM)</span></strong></p><p> <a href="http://greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=543967&page=8" rel="external nofollow">Major League Wrestling - A New Man In Charge</a> by sportsfanmas</p><p> <strong>Comments</strong>: It didn't win.

It's been something that is outside of my comfort-zone in wrestling and isn't something I could ever reproduce (which isn't a bad thing). It's been incredibly enjoyable to see his presentation and the intentional carnival-side show presentation.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Outstanding Contribution Of The Year Award</span></strong>: </p><p> 1. Togg</p><p> <strong>Comments</strong>: Togg runs the DOTM awards pro-bono. He updates the DOTM history book, he creates graphics for people when they ask (including me), he also helps work on mods. He is a no brainer for a nomination.</p><p> </p><p> 2. King Bison</p><p> <strong>Comments</strong>: Bison created an entire mod in the CVerse that had community-offered workers (the TITAN Factory Mod).

Aurora Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Improved = Dark Raider, I am a fan of humour and Raiders stuff is funny Not won = NJPW longterm by joshbrady91, I love the diary and it just missed out winning New = alpha2117, two really entertaining diaries near the end of the year which was reflected in DOTM wins Outstanding = Historian, Togg already got nommed and the elder statesman of the board does a lot of work Most Shocking = EL CHUPACABRA! in CTUC BY Dark Raider because I don't think DR realized he was creating a cult hero Push = Exoticos getting a title and division in WS_X by alpha2117, I know this was meant to be just one person or team but he pushed a whole obscure sub group of wrestling and it's definitely the most obscure group to get pushed. Championship = Harley Race in the Hitchhiker's GuideHitchhiker's Guide to Wrestlemania by MainOffender, nobody saw that coming Turn = Hogan in Hitchhiker's Guide to Wrestlemania by MainOffender, Hogan turning much earlier sets up a great alternate history Worker = Okada in NJPW LONGTERM by joshbrady91, it's Okada and it's a great diary Face = The Miz in WS_X by alpha2117, he had to run with Miz as champ but he made it work. Shame WWE Never really tried it. Heel = The Fiend in Stephanie the Princess Diaries by alpha2117, it's hard to make a real world character feel right but also take it in a different direction that feels organic. Tag = evil Mega Powers in Hitchhiker's Guide to Wrestlemania by MainOffender, let's face it heel Hogan and Savage in the late 80s is just so compelling Faction = The Family in Stephanie the Princess Diaries by alpha2117, Rowan, Harper, Bo and Rosemary actually getting booked in a way that makes them seem important under the Fiends leadership. Champion = Okada in NJPW LONGTERM BY JOSHBRADY91, it's Okada and it feels right Angle = CM Punk returns in Stephanie the Princess Diaries by alpha2117, we may never see it in the real world but the way it was done here felt right. Match = King's of Wrestling and the Family vs The Shield, Braun and B Team at Survivor Series in Stephanie the Princess Diaries by alpha2117, Bo betrays his team Show = Survivor Series in Stephanie the Princess Diaries, I am getting kind of repetitive but it was that one match that really made this feel like something I would pop for in real life. Storyline = KENTA VS OKADA in NJPW LONGTERM by joshbrady91, I want to see it in the real world now based on this. Rocky Maivia Award = ??? Not sure eat the criteria for this is? Real world = Stephanie the Princess Diaries by alpha2117, when I was deciding on noms I kept nomming it and realized it and joshbrady91s NJPW are the two I would miss most if they stopped Cornellverse = Oddworld by Bigelow Cartwheel, Silas is a horrible man Writer = this is tough because Bigelow, joshbrady91, Dark Raider, Pipers Pit and Kimberly, Dark Raider,alpha2117, TheLloyd and a ton of other people give me heaps of entertainment. I was going to say alpha2117 but he's only done two diaries and Dark Raider has done a lot of different things over a longer period and I love CTUC so very much. DARK RAIDER Graphic WWE Three Brands Part II by TheLloyd, it's simple and elegant.

alpha2117 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Recognition Of The Year Section --- Most Improved Writer Of The Year Award: ElliotM Comments: WWE2k19 was great visually WWE2K20 shows real progression booking and writing wise and still looks a million bucks Best Diary Not To Win DOTM Of The Year Award (Must have been active in 2019 but never won DOTM): Chi-Town Urban Combat by Dark Raider Comments: Aurora nominated joshbrady91 and he deserved a nomination but CTUC is a delight. The Rockverse appeals to my subversive sense of humour. New Diary Writer Of The Year Award (Never written a diary before 2019) joshbrady91 Comments: NJPW Longterm is great fun. Outstanding Contribution Of The Year Award - King Bison Comments: That Titan Factory mini-mod add on with a bunch of huge monsters is a great addition to C-Verse games Most Shocking Section --- Most Shocking Signing Of The Year Award: Norse World Order in AWO who says Wrestling isn't high art by Deathzone2 Comments: I'm never shocked by signings - the game by it's nature allows for some weird and wonderful things. Loved seeing the NWO join the greek stuff in that mod. Most Shocking Push Of The Year Award: KENTA in NJPW Longterm by joshbrady91 Comments: No shock to see KENTA pushed - big shock to see him pushing Okada to the limit multiple times Most Shocking Championship Win Of The Year Award: Pride in CTUC by Dark Raider Comments: CTUC was supposed to be a Men's fed but Dark Raider realised that there were a bunch of talented Women and the fed stated to evolve which was one of the most realistic things I've seen where a small feds owners realise they need to adapt and evolve to survive. Most Shocking Heel/Face Turn Of The Year Award: SANADA in NJPW Longterm by joshbrady91 Comments: Not so much a turn as a change of allegiances (NJPW doesn't really do the face/heel thing). Having SANADA depart LIJ legit shocked me. Individual Focus Section --- Worker Of The Year Award: EL CHUPACABRA! in CTUC by Dark Raider Comments: He's a joke in a joke fed but it's a darn funny joke. Best Face Character Of The Year Award: Justice Jolson in TITAN Factory Wrestling: The Dread Army by King Bison Comments: It was that diary that got me interested in this part of the board. I miss it and it's ridiculous huge meatheads like Jolson. Best Heel Character Of The Year Award: Silas T Odswald in Oddworld by Bigelow Cartwheel Comments: He's a scumbag and he knows it. Best Tag Team Of The Year Award: The Australian Party People in YEPW: Australias Wacky World of Pro Wrestling by DAVEFAN95 Comments: I thought I'd gives some props to this diary and how he's used some of the more obscure but fun workers. Best Stable/Faction Of The Year Award: The Sins in CTUC by Dark Raider Comments: I'm biased but I love how they are being used. Best Champion/Reign Of The Year Award: Justice Jolson in TITAN Factory Wrestling: The Dread Army by King Bison Comments: I loved the mix of backstage interaction and shows and Jolson was a huge part of that. Best Angle Of The Year Award: NWO debuts in AWO Who Says Wrestling isn't high art by Deathzone2 Comments: Love the Rockverse and he put the NWO guys in for this exact purpose and it was great so see it actually happen. Best Match Of The Year Award: 10 Womens Battle Royale in CTUC by Dark Raider Comments: It's chaotic and strange and hilarious. Best Show/Event Of The Year Award: OWC Last House in Oddworld by Bigelow Cartwheel Comments: That final reveal was … well it's just great. Best Storyline/Feud Of The Year Award: CTUC adds women - with suitably shambolic results in Chi-Town Urban Combat by Dark Raider Comments: Suddenly CTUC is getting 3 star matches but it's now even more subversive and offensive thanks to people like Abominatrix Rocky Maivia Award: Rick Flair in Diamonds Are Forever by Pipers Pit and Kimberley Comments: I never got Flair - I just didn't buy his offence, his overselling or his promos but I read this and I get it. Diary Section --- Mod Diary Of The Year Award: Chi-Town Urban Combat by Dark Raider Comments: It and Oddworld are so perfectly pitched showing the ludicrousness of small indys struggling just to be half decent. Cornellverse Diary Of The Year Award: TITAN Factory Wrestling: The Dread Army by King Bison Comments:Auroa nominated Oddworld (It's awful and that's fantastic) which allows me to show love for TITAN here. Writer Of The Year Award: LeoHunter Comments: Does a lot of interesting things like King of Fighters Best Graphic Presentation Of The Year Award: ElliotM Comments: The visuals are just so good.

DarK_RaideR Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Disclaimer: I think I'll mirror my friend Historian here and put up a tentative list, to be filled and edited over time. Once this disclaimer is removed, consider my nominations finalized. Also, wow, crazy seing my name and diaries all around. Thank you all so much! Recognition Of The Year Section --- Most Improved Writer Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Diary Not To Win DOTM Of The Year Award (Must have been active in 2019 but never won DOTM): NYCW The Ultimate Throwback by Charismatic_Enigma Comments: I've been on and off keeping up with this, but I'm truly surprised it hasn't won DotM not even once. New Diary Writer Of The Year Award (Never written a diary before 2019) 1. Chisoku Comments: With Bigelow_Cartwheel already nominated, I'd like to shine a light on Chisoku. He debuted as a diary writer with an interesting SAISHO diary, disappeared and then re-appeared with his ongoing BCG diary, all the while producing some excellent stuff to see and read. 2. alpha2117 Comments: You'd never guess 2019 was their debut year as a writer. Between WS_X and The Princess Diaries, it feels like I'm reading a veteran diary writer already. Outstanding Contribution Of The Year Award Comments: With Togg, Historian and King_Bison already nominated, shipshirt gets my vote as another top tier re-renderer that has given a lot to the community. Most Shocking Section --- Most Shocking Signing Of The Year Award: The entire junior heavyweight division in southside_hitmen's BCG Dead Lions do not Roar Comments: BCG, in my mind, is all about heavyweight brawlers, technicians and strong style wrestlers, so seeing BCG add a junior division and bring in high flyers came as a shock (if not outright sacrilege) to me. Yeah, Chisoku did that too, but SSH was there first. Most Shocking Push Of The Year Award: The Queen of Queens division in alpha2117's WS_X Welcome to the Pleasuredome Comments: Trans/Exotico/Genderbending characters are usually either reserved for a single character or the entire company is built around them. Seeing them be part of a company as they were was an unusual and interesting suprise, especially since they were most often combined with good looking cis ladies doing eye candy (sorry, jigglefest) matches and fashion show angles. Most Shocking Championship Win Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Most Shocking Heel/Face Turn Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Individual Focus Section --- Worker Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Face Character Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Heel Character Of The Year Award: Silas Odswald, in The Oddworld by Bigelow Cartwheel Comments: Silas is the perfect example of a scumbag indy promoter. He is also the best heel owner character since Mr. McMahon became a thing. And yet he somehow manages to garner sympathy too, thanks to Bigelow_Cartwheel's writing of the diary through the character's perspective. Best Tag Team Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Stable/Faction Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Champion/Reign Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Angle Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Match Of The Year Award: Frankie Perez vs Extraordinario Jr at BCG Last Warrior: Masayuki Shiga Retirement Show in the BCG Junior Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarterfinals in southside_hitmen's BCG Dead Lions do not Roar. Comments: I usually struggle nominating specific matches or shows, but this is the only one that immediately comes to mind when I think of one match that stuck with me from 2019. Two workers I love but don't often get to use as they're signed by bigger promotions, a solid mix of strong style and high flying lucha, good psychology, momentum swings and several false finishes that almost got me Best Show/Event Of The Year Award: Pending Comments: Best Storyline/Feud Of The Year Award: Silas Odswald and Lucas Danger in The Oddworld by Bigelow Cartwheel Comments: They say the best stuff in wrestling is based on reality and this was a great example, a feud built around Odswald being a scumbag owner/dealer and Danger being a hopeless spot junkie. It became better when Odswald decided to stop selling and Danger became loyal, then the whole "who stomped on the apple pie" thing turned things to 11. Rocky Maivia Award: "The Butcher" Alexander Vasquez, in The Climb by Historian Comments: I don't legitimately hate any characters (besides maybe Byron, Jeff Nova and daddy Eisen) but Vasquez had a true Rocky Maivia journey. He debuted as a generic respawn or game-created rookie with zero character and got nowhere. Historian took him out of the spotlight, sent him off to developmental and re-debuted him as a heel with an interesting angle on his backstory that finally infused the much needed life and colour into him. Diary Section --- Mod Diary Of The Year Award: AWO Who says wrestling isn't high art? by DeathZone2 Comments: Rockverse, LondonVerse and Thunderverse are my mods of choice and I haven't seen many diaries using these. My CTUC is already nominated (thanks) so I'll put up this AWO one. All attempts so far portrayed AWO as a parody with a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor, but seeing it presented super serious really makes me feel the struggle of its workers trying to make it happen and feel like legit art. Cornellverse Diary Of The Year Award: NotBPW A Game of Stones...and DeColts, by The_Lloyd Comments: Historian's The Climb and Lloyd's NotBPW diary dominated 2018 and the former swept the DotY awards, then they both went on in 2019 and stopped. Since the Climb did so earlier and got last year's awards, I feel Game of Stones deserves the nomination here. Writer Of The Year Award: Historian Comments: I enjoy Bigelow_Carthwheel and alpha2117's writing, but a large part of that has to do with them running silly feds they're writing in a silly manner. Historian has been consistently putting out quality writings, whether it's The Climb, Redemption of Texas Pete, Jake Sawyer in FCW or our joint WWA and SCCW diaries. His backstage segments especially are so gritty, real and emotional, they get me right in the feels, everytime. Best Graphic Presentation Of The Year Award: WEXXV - With Fire and Blood, by FINisher Comments: With Lloyd's NotBPW and southside_hitmen's BCG diaries already nominated, I'm using my vote to draw some attention towards this diary that was a true shooting star, bright and short-lived. The frames gave a nice feel, the portraits over company background logos too, the videos were well-picked and not overused and the pacing/formatting of the writing was perfect for a hardcore, spot-based company like WEXXV.

Best Diary Not To Win DOTM Of The Year Award (Must have been active in 2019 but never won DOTM): NYCW: The Ultimate Throwback Comments: New Diary Writer Of The Year Award (Never written a diary before 2019) Comments: what the hell I'll nominate myself. Outstanding Contribution Of The Year Award Comments: Willr0ck for his amazing renders and the Rock-Verse mod. Most Shocking Section --- Most Shocking Signing Of The Year Award: Comments: Wolf Hawkins to CWL in The Climb Most Shocking Push Of The Year Award: Comments: Seth Whitehead in The Oddworld, he's blander than chalktoast and to see him become Champion was a shock. Most Shocking Championship Win Of The Year Award: Comments: Wolf Hawkins in The Climb, no one expected him to sign, let alone walk in and win the big one immediately. Most Shocking Heel/Face Turn Of The Year Award: Comments: Individual Focus Section --- Worker Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Face Character Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Heel Character Of The Year Award: "Macho King" Randy Savage in WWF 91: I don't have a catchy name Comments: Best Tag Team Of The Year Award: The Comments: Best Stable/Faction Of The Year Award: The Devil's Rejects in The Climb Comments: Best Champion/Reign Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Angle Of The Year Award: The Ubersoldaten debut in CTUC in Chi-Town Urban Combat Comments: Best Match Of The Year Award: Royal Rumble 1991 in WWF 91: I don't have a catchy name Comments: Best Show/Event Of The Year Award: WWF WrestleMania 7 in WWF 91: I don't have a catchy name Comments: Best Storyline/Feud Of The Year Award: 1. Silas Oswald vs quality wrestling in The Oddworld 2. Odysseus and Penelope's revenge (once again vanity on my part, but I took pride in writing it.) Comments: Rocky Maivia Award: Ash Crimson in King Of Fighters Comments: I had a blind hatred for Crimson before reading this diary, now it's just mild hatred.
