Gonna raise the same complaints here I did in the user thread. If you're going to do this, you need to do it in a way that will make it more meaningful than the long running Top 30. Otherwise you're just doing the same thing they're doin, only at a slower pace. I like to treat the Top 30 as a list of my favorite games, the games I had the most fun with recently or the games I remember the most fondly. There are games that are more polished or more technically proficient which could be considered objectively better, but fun isn't an objective measurement.

When we're talking about A "Hall of Fame" for the best of all time (On a website so new it doesn't even exist yet for some reason, I guess I'll bitch about that later) we need to be considering objective merit moreso than just a list of favorites. We should also consider public reception and the ensuing legacy. It is not a crime if no game makes the list in a given year.

Something like Spellshard is a good choice, because it is a completed game of significant length that had a number of releases over the years and was generally well regarded each time.

I would also say Sword of Jade, regardless of how you feel about Fyrewulff, should be included for the weight that name carried in the community for so many years. It was our very own Duke Nukem Forever and it took a lot of guts to work on that game for as long as Fyre and Char did with everyone in the world making fun of them.

Something like the OHR House series would ALSO be a good choice in spite of not being a game because of the way the community reacted to it, the spin-offs and derivatives that continue to this day. You might even include something like the Arfenhouse series in that same vain.

Finally, I would say that things like Trailblazers, groundbreaking technical achievements should also be included, so long as they were finished games of significant length (The voters can argue about what that means) that went beyond what people thought was possible. Something like OHR Tactics or Scary Game probably would fit the bill.

If you just want to make a yearly circlejerk of recently popular games, that's okay, just keep on going. I think this would be a lot cooler as a sideshow to Heart of the OHR, something that sincerely looks back at the history of this community and remembers what was important to us. The games we loved, the users we admired. Who and what was influential, the things people copied, the things that we want to continue to try to be. Stuff way deeper than some kind of fuckin Dave Letterman list.
