[950] SGB Pokémon Blue (USA/Europe) by Primorial#soup in 1:18:58.78 GBx and maybe glitchy category, too. (Rather not)

Perhaps best boss-fighting? I'm not proposing anything yet, but I think it's a good category. Oh, BTW, I nominate the Pokémon Blue 1:18 run for luck-manipulation award.

In my opinion, this applies to your question:

Does "Best glitch" mean the coolest looking glitch, or the coolest concept?
I would say that "best glitch" is the one which had the greatest impact and caused most positive feedback in the TASing community.

True. I forgot about that one. Probably caused even a more drastic impact in the community.

Now that the 100 CD run was published before 2008, it could be nominated for the glitchy TAS category, or the SNES TAS category.

Now that 2008 is here, we should start creating new threads with polls.

I would like to take this opportunity and thank JXQ for going through the huge trouble and providing me with hundreds of links and for taking initiative. Thank you! Also, if you (JXQ) or someone else notice anything wrong with the polls, please let me know a.s.a.p.

I am slightly confused about the "TAS" of 2007 and "TASer" of 2007 categories. About TAS of 2007: Why aren't the winners of the "lucky tas", "glitchy tas", "funny tas", and "innovative tas" included as nominees. About TASer of 2007: Shouldn't the nominees to this category have been determined based on the winners of the other categories, as with the overall "TAS of 2007" category?
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

My judgment call on this was that the non-system ones were somewhat "niche" qualities of a nice TAS. Some runs had a standout performances in one of those categories, and recognizing them was my intention with those categories. Ideally, I think the best TASes strive to be all of these together as much as possible, for maximum entertainment throughout. And with the individual system voting, there was no restriction on which "type" of entertainment to go for when nominees were chosen. It was simply asking everyone to "vote for the (system) TAS of 2007," whatever that meant to the individual.
About TASer of 2007: Shouldn't the nominees to this category have been determined based on the winners of the other categories, as with the overall "TAS of 2007" category?
I justified that decision with the point that arkiandruski brought up earlier in this thread: For overall TASes, I think the winner from each catergory could be nominated. Overall TASers should be nominated separately because there are some big ones who don't necessarily shine on a single system. Good points to bring up though. If my ideas don't reflect the community as a whole, they can always be adjusted for future votes.

Makes sense, but in the future it might be worth additionally nominating the winners of each console category, for the award of TASer of the Year.

I disagree with this, for the reason why this was not done. I think it shows it is a bad idea in the current "TAS of 2007" poll... I don't think the list that was formed that way was the best possible list.

Well the "TAS of 2007" voting has ended. Here are the results: (They're also put into above post) TAS of 2007 31 votes - [817] SNES "all items" Super Metroid (JPN/USA) by JXQ in 1:10:45.02 31 votes - [1017] N64 "0 stars" Super Mario 64 (USA) by Swordless Link & AKA in 05:47.37 13 votes - [826] Genesis Sonic 3 and Knuckles (any) by Nitsuja in 34:22.02 4 votes - [981] GBA "100%" Metroid Zero Mission (USA) by Dragonfangs in 1:01:43.7 4 votes - [1022] NES Super Mario Bros (Japan/USA PRG0) by klmz in 04:58.53 All the voting had a really great turnout, and it went much better than I thought it would. Thanks, everyone! How about next year? :)

In all honesty I knew the 5 in that list would be likely to be in the final nomination thread, but I could never work out with all my pre-number crunching (and guess work) if SM64 or Super Metroid would come top, personally I thought Super Metroid was going to win, but I guess I could settle fairly for a tie. We can only debate what will be the likely contenders next year. We could probally make some refinements for next year, but I expect another N64 and possibly SNES submission to compete strongly head to head next year.

Well, in all honesty, it would have won if the authors were prohibited from voting on their own runs. :P

N64 runs I anticipate in 2008 that will be nominated are: Banjo Kazooie, Mario Kart 64, Majora's Mask V2, and OOT V3 (V2 was rejected) SNES runs I anticipate in 2008 that will be nominated are: Super Mario World 96 exits V3, some Super Metriod run, perhaps a DKC run I hope 2008 will be filled with as many surprises as 2007 did.

I would personally like to thank everyone who voted. What I especially liked about this first "official" TAS awards is that it went pretty smooth. Sure, it wasnt 100% perfect as a few wanted to see other nominees for certain categories but all in all, I thought it went very well.

I call for a tiebreaker, wherein everyone who voted for MZM, S3K, or SMB1 gets to reassign their vote to either SM 100 or SM64 0.

You do realise thats kind of like saying it would have won if people who were closely affiliated with the project were prevented from voting on the run(s). Thats why its important to have a large number of people voting. EDIT: Also its good when voting is this close because everyone knows there vote counts.

No, what I'm saying is, the author will always want to vote for their own run, due to the obvious bias involved. Which is why it's strictly prohibited in every possible voting system where the result is important for whatever reason. Not to say that it's just classless.

I don't see what the problem would be with just splitting the award between both TASes. They're both TAS of the year in their own way P:

Uh, for all this arguing, what do they win? More props?
