Since MTP is dead...

I think someone should start a new monthly award. Perhaps someone like Dr. Dos or Oof.

I would do it, but I don't have enough tenure or whatever and thus my awards wouldn't be worth anything.

Also 400th post. Celebrate.

Reviews are never worth anything anyway, right? I vote for Ando's Pick.

awww ando how sweet.

I'd love to but have 2 reasons why i won't

1) I suck at reviewing things ( <a href="http://box43.net/~dr_dos/z2screens/drag ... >though</a> <a href="http://box43.net/~dr_dos/z2screens/more ... g">some</a> <a href="http://box43.net/~dr_dos/z2screens/revi ... pg">are</a> <a href="http://box43.net/~dr_dos/z2screens/ando ... ">worse</a> <a href="http://box43.net/~dr_dos/z2screens/exte ... g">than</a> <a href="http://box43.net/~dr_dos/z2screens/Thro ... jpg">me</a>)

2) I like being able to win these things with shit like MRWAIF and shortly Aura QUANTUM HAS NO CHANCE.

3) But I might if nobody else does!

Dos only you have the power to bring back gotm. I can help. I don't really write reviews; I wrote one years ago on za for a game called Sleuth. Then later I tried to revise and resubmit that review from archive.org onto z2, but fucking z2 was all like 'invalid email address you sexy fiend' and I was like 'WTF' and I clicked back and it was gone.

So the whole concept of reviewing on zzt sites has been SOURED.

Plus I don't really play games that much anymore.

I do feel sort of bad about stopping MTP, but I was not very consistent with its maintenance anyway - I'm four months behind presently, and have only chosen one of the missing awards.

Once it's all done and I've got the pages perfect for posterity, in addition to a couple of surprises I have up my sleeve, I intend to fill the void by writing some Featured Game Reviews, but as you all know I've got quite a lot of other ZZT-related stuff to get out of the way first.

<Dr_Dos> oh man awesome
<Dr_Dos> when mercenary came out i was working on a similar game
<Dr_Dos> and was like :( if i worked faster i could've won the last GoTM
<Dr_Dos> and now i win the last MTP
<MadTom> It's like a consolation prize for a retarded kid in a colouring-in competition
<Dr_Dos> yes
<MadTom> I hope someone like you or dave2 really does start a new award
