Know any good... villains? You may nominate up to 10 of what you consider to be the greatest video game villains of all time. To nominate a character, simply enter their name, and the game (or series) they are featured in. Please note the following ground rules: * Once you enter a nomination, it is permanent, and you may not delete it. * Using multiple accounts to nominate more than 10 characters or the same character multiple times will invalidate all of your nominations. * Characters must have their origins in a video game. Characters who were first featured in comics/movies/books are not eligible. * Characters nominated should be villains: an enemy character in a video game. While not necessarily the final boss, the nominated villain should be someone the player must battle as part of the game. "Evil" protagonists (Kratos from God of War), friendly rivals (Knuckles from the Sonic series), or villains-turned-allies (Magus from Chrono Trigger) aren't really "villains", although characters that are villains in one game but allies/heroes in another are fair game (Dr. Robotnik, Donkey Kong). --- From: HaRRicH | Posted: 4/10/2005 5:58:20 PM | Message Detail I totally agree, which is why I fully support Ulti's proposed idea he told some mod about, where the Game and Character contests would switch year-by-year in the summer. --- Serious Reminder: Nominate Dr. Wily in 2k5 http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php --- The Bracket.

And what changes, if any, would you make to it so that it is less predictable and more enjoyable to the site's users? Yes; and you'll know when I know. I've got some ideas, but I'm still throwing them around in my head. Will there be any more Spring Contests in the future? Yes, there's one now. It just doesn't make sense to run a second "Best Game Ever" contest so soon. Would it be feasible to have a game contest this summer, a character contest next summer, and so on in alternating fashion? It would give us users the best of both worlds, and keep the contest where it was from the start: the summer. If time is the major issue, alternating would be the best solution. Plus, it'd extend the year over year volatility to two years, which would make those contests insane to predict. That's one idea; we'll see what happens with this year's contest. --- Lighten up. The world is not out to get you, except in the sense that the world is out to get everyone. --- Time Extended! Entries due Monday at 5PM Pacific. From: CJayC | Posted: 4/29/2005 10:54:48 PM | Message Detail Just to give our last-weekend visitors a chance to enter. I wasn't looking at the days of the week when initially setting up the contest close time, so this'll give a few more people a shot to enter. --- Lighten up.
