The weekly Excellence in Session Report Writing Award
|
|
|
On November 2004 I had this insane idea of awarding  for the best SR of the week. Boy, I didn't imagine it would be this much work! :-) Anyway, check out below to see which BGG'ers have been honoured in the past few weeks. Note: if you find any session reports that you deem worth of the award, please let me know. I read a lot of them, but not all, so I will consider other people's input (as long as they don't submit their own creations, of course...).       Feb 2005 announcement: for the next ten to fifteen weeks I'll be bestowing a few extra every week for the Sean Ahern Honorary Mention. Sean was kind enough to ship me a pack of the Ticket to Ride: Mystery Train Expansion game at his own cost. We had previously agreed that I would pay him 15 but at the time we finally concluded our transaction, he no longer needed the , so he told me that I didn't have to give them to him, but I should "pay it forward" to deserving geeks. I thought about running a contest but could not come up with any good ideas, so I decided to piggyback on this award and create an honorary mention in his name. Therefore, for the next few weeks I'll be giving away my regular one for the best SR plus one (or more) honorary mentions in his name.

In the last week of 2004 the session reports only started showing up on Thursday, so I didn't have time to read much. And on the first week of 2005 I was way too busy at work (with a new school semester coming up and all that), so I couldn't devote much time to this endeavour again.
If you haven't seen it yet, please read my own session report on Tic-Tac-Toe:

Mark Kittel does it again! In the week of January 28th he came up with a session report that was hailed by some as one of the best SR's ever! See his re-writing of the Tolkien story here:

Scott Di Bartolo wins the week of February 4th with one of the longest session reports that I have already read! Even though I don't know the game and therefore I missed some of the fun of his SR, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read. See his monumental work here:

Either I'm becoming too demanding or the quality of the session reports is going down fast, I haven't found too many gems in the past few weeks...
Anyway, for the week of April 8th Rusty Ballinger takes the Sean Ahern Honorary Mention for his entertaining view of his friends playing A Game of Thrones:
