I just finished voting in the ENnies for the tiny handful of entrants I knew anything about, and thus was reminded of how little I participate in anything remotely resembling the mainstream of this hobby.

Also: pretty sure I have made this same post just about every year for almost a decade now.
The only tabletop RPG award worse than the ENnies is..just kidding, they’re all equally bad.
You and me both
There’s a stream? A main one, even?
I stay away from streams, main or otherwise. They only get your socks wet.
Mark Delsing I remember your post last year on this topic!
Aaron Griffin I knew it!
Forrest Aguirre True! I think there is, though it’s kind of wide and filled with vessels passing each other in the night.
Looks like I’ve only been griping about the Ennies on G+ for three years or so, at least as far as searching via the app tells me.
(Most of it was the year that lots of badness happened.)
I heard the 2018 ennies will be even worse! I expect a picture of you shaking a fist too
I mostly hate vote.
Robert Bohl Does that work?
I voted for one judge even though I did not know them because she was the only woman on the ballot.
I don’t know. But when something is in a category that I don’t want to win, I vote for everyone but that piece. I can’t help but see how more votes for A and B but not C can’t help but hurt C.
Whatever happened to just voting for games you like to play?
Those are rarely nominated for Ennies in my experience. I’m not sure there are any nominated games that I’m interested in this year (though I could be wrong). They feel increasingly trad-focused.
Then maybe don’t vote.
No, I’ll do what I want, thanks. Some people deserve an anti-vote. I’m not about to let go of my bitter hatreds that easily.
(Seriously, Dave, what’s it to you?)
I had just thought that the Ennie system was hate-vote-proof, so not voting is better than anti-voting. But I dunno.
I mostly voted for Tales from the Loop and the TOR stuff that was nominated.

I mean, nothing, i guess. I just feel a little sick to my stomach whenever i see or hear about anyone doing anything out of spite. Like hearing someone has cancer, only they did it to themselves.
Obviously do what you want. shrug Just feels like a waste of time and energy to me, but it’s your time and your energy.

It surely is a waste! But it’s mine to waste.
