DarK_RaideR Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Putting this up here for now and will return to edit in more nominations Recognition Of The Year Section --- Most Improved Writer Of The Year Award: Blodyxe Comments: Was going to nominate Blodyxe for new writer of the year but I looked up threads started and apparently he's done diaries before. I read some of them and I can tell the difference, he's come a long way from back then to what he did in 2021 with Lucha Underground and continues to do with MLW alongside kanegan. Best Diary Not To Win DOTM Of The Year Award (Must have been active in 2020 but never won DOTM): Comments: New Diary Writer Of The Year Award (Never written a diary before 2020) Comments: Outstanding Contribution Of The Year Award Comments: Most Shocking Section --- Most Shocking Signing Of The Year Award: Comments: Most Shocking Push Of The Year Award: Comments: Most Shocking Championship Win Of The Year Award: Comments: 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: Comments: Best Tag Team Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Stable/Faction Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Champion/Reign Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Angle Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Match Of The Year Award: Aja Kong vs Manami Toyota vs Megumi Kudo in FMW The Deathmatch Heaven by kanegan Comments: RW diaries are full of dream matches, but this one hasn't been explored much, three absolute legends in a great setting, it really had that special feel above just getting your rocks off to some fantasy booking. Best Show/Event Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Storyline/Feud Of The Year Award: The TPIC vs The Squared Circle Circus and Deadtective in the case of the theft of the invisible clown car in Paragons of Wrestling 2: The Sequel by Pteroid Comments: I was entertained. This was wacky, it was hilarious, it went on long enough for me to invest but didn't outstay its welcome and it made great use of all the ginmicks of everyone involved. Rocky Maivia Award: Brian Lee in ECW97: Survival on Swanson and Ritner by tobin834 Comments: I never thought of the Killdozer as anything more as a slightly improved version of 911, there to look big and maybe deliver the occasional big move in a segment, but his run as TV Champion in this diary got me invested in him. Diary Section --- Mod Diary Of The Year Award: United Promotions Japan -Can You Hear The Thunder? by falling_star Comments: Several TVerse diaries sprung with the release of the mod, but this was one of the few that stuck around. It helps that I'm a puroresu fan, but the booking and character showcase are done exceptionally well. Cornellverse Diary Of The Year Award: no Ordinary Men by Historian Comments: Much as I like to tease the man for sticking to certain tropes, there's no question he can do blue collar american indy promotions right and this was a case of doing what he does best after the legendary The Climb. Writer Of The Year Award: Comments: Best Graphic Presentation Of The Year Award: ECW97: Survival on Swanson and Ritner by tobin834 Comments: It's eye-catching, it's easy to read and it absolutely captivates the gritty DIY feel of 90s ECW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kremmen Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They need to de-privatize the diary thread. It opens the site up to more readers, potential thread creators and product buyers who might become interested in GD because of this thread.

Old School Fan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They need to de-privatize the diary thread. It opens the site up to more readers, potential thread creators and product buyers who might become interested in GD because of this thread. I second that, as it would open up more responses to diary posts as well and get an overall pulse of what readers think of the diaries.

Sco xY2Jx Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Thirded. The dynasty thread has flare ups of interactivity but it is significantly lower than it was before the privatisation and the site, IMO, is suffering as a result. What would get people interested in the game more? Seeing the creativity and fun that dynasty writers have with it and they think "I could do that" or another thread in the general discussions about "Which CVerse worker is your favourite?" where the 'guests' likely may have little idea of who they are?

Blodyxe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Maybe some notification system would help raise more attention? I'll try to leave my nominations this weekend, it's quite a lot to think about and remember. Also thanks DarK_RaideR for the nomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kremmen Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I second that, as it would open up more responses to diary posts as well and get an overall pulse of what readers think of the diaries. I can only base this on my own personal experience. Before the privatization, I was getting between 15-18,000 views for my stuff on an annual basis. Been back a year and my views are down by roughly 2/3 of what they were. If it's open to the general public, then there will be more readers, more views and more diary creators and potentially more product buyers.

Historian Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I can definitely say that once the dynasty forum was privatized I saw a dropoff in my diary views. On an aside, I haven't been super active with my nominations and things recently but I hope to get some stuff for DOTY up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodyxe Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I went to Togg's profile to look over winners of the past months, cause my memory is shot.

christmas_ape Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Diary Section --- Mod Diary Of The Year Award 20LEgend's Paul Heyman's TNA 2010 | The Young, Hungry, Aggressive Alternative! Cornellverse Diary Of The Year Award Willsky's Prestige Wrestling League (CVerse) Will add more to this soon. Regarding the forum being private and the views, I always thought it was because of bots, and they affected views. But it does also feel like comments/general interaction is down which could be due to the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kremmen Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'm hoping somebody in here talks to those in charge of the site. If so, could you please ask them to end the privitization of the diary thread and open it back up to public viewing. Privatizing it is killing page views.
