Yes. Several things:

- There have been few votes. But few votes does not invalidate the results.
- The winners are good in their category. So of course, they are popular winners.
- Underestimating these awards is bad. People just ignore everything. Big mistake. People will soon realize the prestige of winning the SAMMY AWARDS. In the future who does not participate, or maybe win in the SAMMMY AWARDS, simply will not exist.

Of course there will be hooligan SAMMY AWARDS this year. Something equivalent to the RAZZIES.

It will be called the BLUEBERRY Z awards. It will "award" the worst of this year, the most disgusting and pitiful. Including games, mods and even members of the Minetest community.

Yes, because a lot of garbage is also made in Minetest.

It will be in spring, in May or so.

The Academy decided to count all the votes on this post, as there were few participants. The Academy has the last word.

The result is correct and the winners are just winners.

If you wanted to win, you should have mobilized the people on your server/games. Now it's too late. You missed an opportunity. For next year promote a bit more, for example a popup window on your server, asking people to vote.

The winning games are going to be promoted all year long through podcasts, YT videos, etc. etc. etc.

by Festus1965 » Post

lol, just make it clear :
I am better on my near 43 player - than on a vote with 3.
They don't need to register a slow forum, they want to play a fast server.

The real winner are shown in the server list every day like this time server : Your-land.de most top and steady high average

Games are also quite easy and clear counted out on the list : Minetest, multicraft, mineclone ?

so what ? 9 votes ... out of ~ 5.000 views : meaningless

or others was also confused about : nominating and voting ?

The biggest population doesn't make it the 'best'. Sure it has the most people who must at least somewhat enjoy returning there. I haven't played on Your Land so I won't judge it. But let's take for instance the PAW Crypto Mine server. Are people playing there because it's a good server, or because they want to earn crypto? If they are doing it for the crypto and not enjoying it, doesn't that make it not the 'best server', just a regularly populated one? That's why I think AES Minigames server is probably a good server even if I haven't played there. Because the players liked it enough to vote for it. Maybe it is not actually 'the best', but 'the most populated' is not the best method for deciding the best server, even if it is objective and easy to measure.

Now you do have an important point that maybe the sample size of Sammy Awards is too small. I can't dispute that. There is also selection bias: People who vote for something are more likely to have certain opinions as opposed to people who quietly enjoy something without going and voting for it. Sure, there are flaws. But your comment just comes across as scoffing, which you shouldn't do.

You can point out problems with Sammy Awards but don't presume that your method for deciding best server is actually universal and that people should disregard anything else. Actually having more than one way of judging 'the best' is important, because different people value different things when they want to choose a server. If 'highest population' was the only metric for deciding where to play, we'd all be on a supercomputer server running a 50-100 player game or something.

Of course I will ask the "bosses" first if I am allowed to do so.

I tend to agree with Komodo, in a community this small it's liable to cause some bad feelings. It's much more likely to feel personal than something like the Razzies, and if you award it annually it's likely the same people will end up getting one next year, just due to how small the pool of candidates is.
