Never been to a Kap Con, HOWEVER, I aggree that is a great way to do it. 8)
[quote=“No Rectangulars”]I like the Kapcon system (which we used a Buckets this year) where players get to nominate other players for something cool that they did - rather than trying to figure out which one player you thought was best, you can nominate any number of players. I think it enocourages a more collaborative approach to roleplaying as it puts the focus on quality of interactions - people will vote for someone who made the game good for them, rather than just for the loudest voice.
Of course, this really adds up the amount of work for the people counting.[/quote]
In my experience of the Kapcon nomination system the loudest still generally win (or the people who say the funniest things). They just happen to be the most noticeable, so get the most nominations, regardless of which system is used. Still better than a straight out vote though, I think.
