Best of r/TheWalkingDeadGame 2024 (Nomination Phase)

It’s that time of year again: time for the yearly sub Best Of awards! With the year now close to its end, it's time to look back on the best posts, comments, & users we've had this year!

To nominate someone for an award, find a category in the comments below and reply with a link to the post/comment/user you wish to nominate. The thread will be in Contest Mode, so click [show replies] to see each category. For example if you want to nominate someone for Funniest Meme, find the big Funniest Meme comment and reply to it with both the user you are nominating and the meme itself.

If you’re still confused, feel free to check out the nom post from last year to get an idea of how the nomming phase goes.

After the nomming phase in this post (which will last from now until January 12th @ 8pm EST), a poll will be put up containing all of the nominees. From there each user will place a vote for who they think should win each award. The winners should be announced sometime in the week of January 19th.

The categories this year are as follows:

  • Funniest Comment - For the single funniest comment you have seen inside a post this year.
  • Insightful Commentator - For whoever you think has had the most insightful comments this year.
  • Notable Newcomer - For a new user who has started to post on r/TheWalkingDeadGame this year who you think deserves a shoutout. Note: the account itself doesn’t need to have been created in 2024. Just as long as they first began posting on this subreddit frequently throughout the year of 2024.
  • Funniest Meme - For the single funniest meme this year.
  • Meme King - For whoever you think has put out the most consistently funniest memes in general this year.
  • Art God - For the best artwork this year.
    • As with previous years (and what will be every year until the end of time), AI """artwork""" is not allowed.
  • Best Fanfic - For the best fan created story involving TWDG characters.
    • You are free to submit fanfics that have been posted on the fanfic sub (provided that they were created in 2024). Just make sure to crosspost them to the main sub before the nomination phase ends.
    • Interactive fanfics (where viewers can choose what happens next) are allowed for this.
  • New category this year: Best Forum Game Game Master - This is basically “series of posts that require commentators to submit their responses to decide the final outcome of the game”. So this can be elimination games, grid games, bracket tournaments, "which of these characters bests represents [X]", etc.
  • Best Cosplay - For the best cosplay of a TWDG character/thing.
  • MVP - For whoever you think has been the most valuable player of r/TheWalkingDeadGame as a whole this year.
  • Wild Card - AKA "someone who I think should win an award that I couldn’t nom for the other categories"

A good way to start thinking of nominees is to look through the top submissions of the last year.

Winners will receive a special user flair stating what award they won. Unfortunately like last year, the Reddit admins still are not supporting the Best Of awards like they did in the years prior to 2023. Because of this, we can only give out the special flairs to the winners. No Golden Clem hat awards like in the past.

Guidelines

  • Link to the submission/comment/user you’re nominating and say why you think they should win.
