ZDoom Monster of the Year (DECORATE):
Something from Demon Eclipse... propably the modfied Revenant (can't remember the name right now
Death Incarnate. The actor name is Incarnate, for short.
Wait, that got released?
I can upload it, if you want it. You just have to tell me where you want me to upload it from (Savefile, Hyperupload, etc.). The size is big, and I don't want to upload it again.

Best ZDoom Megawad of 2006:
Probably between Ultimate Simplicity and Demon Eclipse.

Worst ZDoom Megawad of 2006:
At the top of my head, I don't know any.

ZDoom Monster of the Year (DECORATE):
Probably something from Demon Eclipse, like Vader said.

ZDoom Map of the Year (Non-Megawads):
Power Dolls

ZDoom Worst Map(s) of the Year (Non-Megawads):
Same comment for Worst Zdoom Megawad.

ZDoom Person of the Year:
Probably Xaser, Cutmanmike, Graf Zahl, or LittleWhiteMouse

ZDoom Worst Scumbag Award:
Don't know, don't care.

ZDoom Megawad of the Year:

Ultimate Simplicity. The only other 2006 ZDoom megwads I've played are Crapi and The Archives Are Doomed. Crapi was okay but glitchy in places, while Archives was of course filled with crap levels. Occassionally inspired and often very funny levels, but still crap levels none-the-less. So even though it's isn't complete, Simplicity still wins.

Worst ZDoom Megawad of the Year:

Hmm. I'll go with Archives, but only so long as Wills doesn't get pissed off about it ;).

ZDoom Monster of the Year (DECORATE):

There are so many cool monsters in Demon Eclipse, it's hard to chose. Hmm. I'll have to go with the Death Incarnate.

ZDoom Map of the Year:

If we're allowing GZDoom wads, then Thief - The Trail of the Arch-Heretic, with Phocas Island 2 a close second. If not, then I'm not sure; I haven't really played many 2006 ZDoom single level wads (not even either of the Ghoul's Forest maps or Sapphire), and of those I have, only Zen Dynamics really sticks in my mind. 2006 seems to have been more the year of the excellent "limit removing port" wads.

Worst ZDoom Map of the Year:

Any of the Gamarra series. I'll go with part VII, since it's the most recent.

ZDoom Person of the Year:

Daemon Hunter, for rejoining the Doom community but staying away from these forums!

ZDoom Scumbag of the Year:

Oh, heh. A few people spring immediately to mind, but I think I'll go with someone at little more unexpected: namely me. This is mainly for making an arse of myself at Doomworld and dmclub.org, but also for not releasing (or even working on) any new levels in such a damned long time.


Can there also be a category for ZDoom Weapon of the Year? If so, I have to nominate the sword from Demon Eclipse. I don't know why, but I absolutely love that thing :).

I'd also vote for a ZDoom Weapon of the Year, except I can't think of any weapon mods that are officially released aside from mine (all the ZDoom mods I've played recently are betas...)

If unreleased beta versions count, though, then I'd have to nominate the entire zp-zerot.wad weapon mod (Zero Tolerance by Zero Prophet). Seriously, when he releases that, it's going to own all of my stuff.

ZDoom Megawad of the Year:

Ultimate Simplicity, no question.

Worst ZDoom Megawad of the Year:

That ripoff of MOCK 2. Something about tricksters. Total waste of time, too many levels. Some good ideas, true, but mostly whipped cream and sawdust.

BTW: You make me cry, NiGHTMARE. ;)

ZDoom Monster of the Year (DECORATE):

1337man. It counts for 2006 because I used it in Untitled. :P

ZDoom Map of the Year:

No idea, really. Lots of good ones. Moving on...

Worst ZDoom Map of the Year:

That horrible emo map. What moron made that? ;)

ZDoom Person of the Year:

Hotwax, for turning over a new leaf and returning with a more mature mindset. If only more people would do that. Speaking of which...

ZDoom Scumbag of the Year:

Hobbs. Not because of KDiZD, but for being a general all-around asshole. Thanks a lot.

ZDoom Megawad of the Year:

What's a zdoom megawad?

Worst ZDoom Megawad of the Year:

Probably most of them

ZDoom Monster of the Year (DECORATE):

None of those overused monster resource things that's for sure. I guess that ghost that cutman made, at least it's his own work.

ZDoom Map of the Year:

Void. Wait that was years ago. Oh well it hasn't really been topped yet.

Worst ZDoom Map of the Year:

Anything made by people who post multiple topics starting with 'How do I....'

ZDoom Person of the Year:

Hobbs, for making you all cry. Good show!

ZDoom Scumbag of the Year:

That idiot with 'Im 12' in his title.

ZDoom Megawad of the Year:
Zen Dynamics by Xaser. Great choices in music and excellent hardware for the battles. Decent "on the fly" story, too.

Worst ZDoom Megawad of the Year:
I was displeased with Archives are Doomed.

ZDoom Monster of the Year (DECORATE):
Nothing doing here.

ZDoom Map of the Year:
Ghoul's Forest 2 by CutmanMike.

Worst ZDoom Map of the Year:
I don't download things that don't sound right through reviews.

ZDoom Person of the Year:
Xaser. And not just for Zen Dynamics. The TurboCharged Arcade Demo kicks some serious ass and has much potential. :D
Runners up: HotWax, Solarsnowfall, primarily for helping me out with some questions.
Eriance is also up there. Best weapon spriter in existence, and you all know it.

People who vote for themselves are full of themselves.

ZDoom Scumbag of the Year:
I know no one well enough to pick that one out.
People who vote for themselves here don't really like themselves much, do they? ;)

ZDoom Weapon of the Year:
The Vorpal Blade from Demon Eclipse Episode 2. I felt this weapon was under-rated because I kept swinging at fireballs to deflect them off, and its charged attack took the cake.

Because he's the only person that will release anything related to it, right?
