RPGS... you've beaten
wow i am impressed you all spend so much time beating videogames
where does that time come from
don't you people have to like eat and go to the bathroom
where does the money for these games come from
when I gre up we owned 4 games. Willow, Blades of Steel, Mario 3, and Double Dare (a gameshow game for NES). I never beat Willow, but I did beat Bowser in Mario and won the NES in Double Dare a couple times.

!School is on it's way!
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
As true today as it was when it was written...? Call me barbaric but I wouldn't have a problem with chewing out a student with some cutting Catholic guilt if I was a teacher, or hitting my kids if I decided it was the best form of discipline (I'd never hit my kids out of anger or frustration though). I grew up in a place where you're supposed to spoil your wife, not your kids.

The thing is that a battle system should be considered an integrated part of a game design, and not something separate or tacked on. If someone has a really good battle system in thier RPG and it fits well with the rest of the design then you can vote for it for Best Game Design. But if there is a really novel puzzle game out there that is really ingenious then its only natural that they would compete. And, like I said, map design IS level design, and interface design is MENU design. And if you really like the way a game is designed you can vote for it for either Most Fun or Best Game Design. There shouldn't be a problem when it comes time to vote.
The categories I came up with were for the most part meant to apply to games other than just RPGs, that is, they are multi-genre. I know this is RPGMaker.net but we should be ready to laurel whatever cool games come our way, right?

About RMN
I really appreciate what WIP has done in offering us a website that is comepletely user-driven and focuses on encouraging game development and community networking. If RMN3 stays true to these principles I can only see myself being more satisfied.

What are you thinking about right now?
Misaos
"Best Level Design" replaces best mapping, but also includes the design and layouts of any number of environments across genres, ie platformer levels or enemy placement and design in a SHMUP.
"Best Interface Design" would then be the place to judge the navigability and intuitiveness of GUIs, Menus.
I agree on the Graphics/Artwork thing and the Music/Sound thing for the most part. "Best Cinematics" would be where best cutscenes would get thier due, but keep in mind that even in cutscenes theatricality will play a part, and this award is meant to honour games that are designed with presentation and cinematics taken to heart, because in my opinion the art of presentation, in a game's design or in its more filmic elements, is still a part of successful game design.

That's 20 Misaos proper and 3 Wisao awards, which, unless it was a separate event, I wouldn't want to give more creedence to for the sake of simplifying the process.
