*Puts on AME Chairman Hat and prepares for a shameless plug*
Good discussion, all. If there's enough interest in this subject and you come up with some good suggestions, I hope that some of you will consider joining the
Academy for Modding Excellence (AME) and helping us to bring back our Best Multiplayer Module category -- because this is precisely the kind of input that we need to do that.

Unfortunately, most of the members who've volunteered to join the AME over the last several years have been mainly SP rather than MP players. Because of that lack of participation from the MP community, the AME hasn't been able to award its NWN1 Best Multiplayer Module award since 2007. As a result, and under the new procedures we set up last year, we currently have an award category for the "NWN1 Best Multiplayer Module of 2008-2011" that is open and waiting for nominations. So far it has only two (one from 2008 and one from 2009) which have had only a few votes cast on them, which isn't nearly enough to move the category to the finals to eventually be awarded.
Starting last year with our reorganized procedures, the AME now operates strictly on a "do what you want when you can" model. So a new member could join the AME even for the purpose of participating in advancing and voting on nominations in only one category, such as NWN1 Best MP Module. Other than a few minutes to read our guidelines and understand our nominating and voting procedures, there's very little that prospective members would need to commit themselves to in terms of time in order to participate. So if you're already doing the work to identify and evaluate good candidates in one of our awards categories -- even if it's just one category -- then I hope you'll consider using that knowledge to help us in our community mission, and to recognize the contributors who've given so much to it and to us for so many years.
