We have reached the first of our merged categories and they were merged for a reason. Multiplayer games have been a stalwart at this forum since very near the inception and some excellent AARs have come from that. Interactive AARs (in the manner we know them now) is a newer construct, but no less active in their following. Or have been in the past. This year, we saw 4 total voters make nomination in this category for 7 different AARs (and one voter is responsible for the bulk of them.) It did give us a clear winner, but from a very small sample size. This takes nothing from our winner as it was named twice within the vote. Thus...
Your 2018 Multiplayer/Interactive AAR of the Year is:
With 2 votes, this is the champion! Well done! That is one more vote than anyone else got. The other six AARs in descending order of the vote are:
Each got one vote (weighted) and each and every one should be proud to have been mentioned! I don't mind saying that it was a bit of a shame that more MPs did not get a nod, but then I myself did not vote in the category. I guess I assumed that others that enjoy this type of work might step forward.
I think we need to find a better way to get this type of news to those that do get involved in these types of work and/or maybe even combine this and the next category (LP's/Video) into one if that cannot be accomplished. Those that spend time on a work such as this do so as much as any other and that was the reason it is included. Not everybody likes comedy...certainly not everybody likes full on narrative. But each type of work has their writers and their readers and these writAARs deserve a place at the table, IMHO.
All that said, we must congratulate our winner @magnum2016 and all others that gained a vote! As well, thank you to those few that singled out this category as one to vote for. Each one that gained a nomination thanks you, I am certain! So offer congrats well deserved and when we are done with this round, we will look at this again. There is a solution, I am certain.
