So what happened? Are we going to have misaos for 2008?
I too was wondering when exactly the misaos were going to take place. Are we waiting on RMN3 or something?
Not really sure and yeah the misaos are usually held in january.
Ha! The 2006 Misaos were held in June 2007!

We're working on it.
Yes, but we should at least start talking categories and nominees. Just cause the 06 ones were horrendously late, doesn't mean the 08 ones hafta be.

Lies + Egos = Misaos.

Just like the Oscars!
Misaos is the name for the community awards for things like "Best RPG" and "Best Atmosphere", as voted by the members of the community. The community is not just RMN, it encompasses any english indie maker site (historically revolving around RPG Maker, but it's not limited to that) like GW or IGP or RMXP.org and a slew of others. RMN hosts the awards.

See that big link at the top that says Misaos? Click it.

Also, they happen every year, usually in January, but who knows when this year.

In previous years, Misaos took three steps:

1) Nominate categories (like Best RPG or Worst Dialogue)
2) Nominate games released in the previous year to the successful categories. Games needed 2 nominations to be eligible.
3) Vote for eligible games for each category.


This upcoming year we are doing away with the category nominations and are just going with a set list of categories.
We haven't finalized the list, but here is the working list:

Proposed Categories

Game of the Year
1st Place - Offical Game of the Year
2nd Place
3rd Place

I still think music and sound design should be separate categories >:(

Every rude thing I have ever said about RMN or other users, despite repeated warnings.

That's a pretty good list. Looking forward to it this year.

I think in this same sense Map and Level Design should be distinct.
