And the winner is.... FM21 Placeholder Post! It's even madder than that. I thought it was a great idea when someone voted for it, then the very last set of votes made it one of 4 threads on 2 votes and since I wasn't actually voting this year (and I could still judge thread names) I decided that was a rather unsatisfactory situation and cast a tiebreaker vote. It makes a change from the usual puns so congratulations on winning through the 'ironic' vote. We're all a bunch of comedians in here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 It's a shame that the Joint save didn't manage to win an award.

ManUtd1 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Evening, folks -- been a busy day at the office, so I'm only able to just log in now to catch up. Honored to have been nominated (much less won!), and to be among such good company. I'm really ready for 21 to get back started, with @Deisler26's award-winning #DanskeDanke, before the Nearly Men ride again...hopefully things are calming down, so I can get them on here again! As always, a thank you to our gracious host, @deltablue, who deserves an award for putting up with us and pulling this together at a time of year when attention spans are short... Kidding aside, on to the FM21 cycle! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
karanhsingh Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Great stuff everyone! Just caught up with this as it was too late for me in India.

scousevasey Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Been massively out of the loop recently, pushed for time to read threads properly, let alone play my own. Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to add my votes in due to this, but congratulations to all the winners. Thoroughly shocked to have a vote, especially for the category it was, as my storytelling narrative fell away as the save went on (my brain couldn’t juggle all of the aspects. I was planning on staying on FM20, finishing my trip towards Denmark, then starting a new save to challenge PH71 for retro crown, but the new features especially around interactions are tempting me to 21. I just need to find the save idea...and the time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to say that I'm honoured! Thanks so much to all who voted for me. Also - massive congratulations to all the other winners - @Jimbokav1971; you were my inspiration, way back in the Gibraltar and initial San Marino days, to play how I play, @Makoto Nakamura; the way you speed through but the reader still feels connected with the game world is awesome, @smp20; I wasn't even sure that was a thread from this year but to share an award with someone who has always made the game look so easy (thinking back to your Austria Vienna and Irish saves) is an honour and @ManUtd1 - I can only aspire to write as wonderfully as you do! I just love playing FM and I use these boards as I way of writing down my thoughts - I never expected to see so many people enjoying what goes on inside my head! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thanks to all who voted for me, an unexpected pleasure to win a few awards! Many thanks to @deltablue for all the effort in hosting. Apologies for not getting round to voting, but in all honesty I've been slacking a bit this year in terms of reading other threads so didn't feel in much of a position to vote. One thread I have followed though is Jimbo's Irchester Youth one which I think is great. Due to his high levels of updates I'm still not even sure if I've got half-way through it yet, think last time I read it I was at the bit where he'd just got to League 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the winner is... Rumple43! Awesome! Thank you so much! Apologies, I tend to be a bit rushed and insular on these boards, popping up to post and then disappearing off to either play or write stuff up (or work, ahem). I didn't even know these awards were a thing (hence my newcomer tag I suppose), but I am genuinely chuffed to not only have been voted for, but to have won as well. Excellent inspiration to keep going to, really appreciate it. Pretty cool to be included in something that has been going for 11 years as well, that's class.

The bard-like nominees are... fmonit's A Migrant Story in Sicily, Cheez3y's Bring The Champions League Back To Romania... To Bukarest... To Steaua..., Stuniverse’s FM20 adventure, Abulezz's Kafra FC 2020, Scousevasey's Starting from the bottom, Rumple43's The Pride of (50% of) Sheffield (though they forgot Sheffield F.C.) and ManUtd1's The Nearly Men Vol IV. Delighted to get a nomination for this as well, and congrats to @ManUtd1 on the win. Technically, we're looking to be the pride of 25% of Sheffield since there's also Stocksbridge Park Steels just round the corner from me as well haha Thanks to all, what a cool way to start the week! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
