so many people that i never got to meet =[
Haha...first time in the MW forum in years and this is one of the recent topics. I approve of this thread.
Though, really, it should be a much shorter acceptance list. I'd probably go with something like this if we could pull down 20-30 voters:
Players
-Minimum of 2 players accepted per year (perhaps increased to 3 or 4 for the first ballot only)
-Player must have won at least 1 Midwest regional tournament or placed in Top 5 of a national tournament (150+ in attendance) to be eligible
-From the "eligible" list, players can be nominated and seconded by an eligible voter, but each voter can only nominate one player and can only second one player. Any player that they nominate (but not second) must be on their final ballot.
Contributors
One contributor (TO, crew, videos, writer, hospitality, any other non-gameplay contribution) will be chosen per year only, chosen by most votes. Each voter may ONLY nominate or second a person or crew into this category.
Voters
-Must have attended at least 5 Midwest tournaments (determined loosely)
-Each voter can vote for up to 5 players (but does not have to vote for all 5).
-Players can be nominated and seconded by an eligible voter, but each voter can only nominate one player and can only second one player. Any player that they nominate or second must be on their ballot.
Rules for induction
Any player that appears on more than 80% of ballots is automatically in. In the case that only one or zero players reach this threshhold, the top 2 votegetters are inducted. Only one contributor will be accepted per year.
Hall of Fames should be really, really exclusive...otherwise they're pretty meaningless.
Also sorry for busting in with a long post, but you all know that this is what I do.

Oh, Tim, you have to try to make it so complicated.
You know you can't talk about inducting X people per year, because by the next year the whole thing will have been forgotten. You have to draw up the whole list while everyone still cares.

It'd be interesting to create the eligible list at least, under those criteria. I'm wondering how many people can claim to have won a Midwest tournament...probably a good number. I doubt anyone has been Top 5 at a National without winning a Midwest tournament, but thought it would be interesting if there was anyone in that category as well.

Jiano has been top 5 at a national and has never won a major midwest tournament. BAM, just like that Timberton kIsh
Must have been someone else who looked like me.

And there you go.
For some reason I can't definitively remember any Midwest tournaments that Vidjo won, even though I remember that he's stacked up placings at nationals like no one's business. My memory is clearly going. He was like Top 5 at everything.
jiano won one of the huge johnz, im not sure of the definition of a regional but that had like 50 people and i know michigan came
vidjo won a gamejunkie i know, but again ohio+chicago might not count as a regional per se, cause i think dope and drephen skipped that one
i was gonna say drephen, but he did win that one smym and cok 3 i think, i just didnt go to those, plus he won a decent ec regional so thats pretty good. definitely should be on there just for having more national top 5's than anybody else, and being the only dude who has beaten m2k

I don't know if Drephen or Vidjo has more Top 5s at nationals...they both have at least 5 or 6, I think. Darkrain has quite a few as well...he might be close to that, too.
My opinion, off the top of my head through 2007 I think either Drephen or Eddie have the best list of regional tournament victories and top placements, but a lot of Eddie's came with less competition. Darkrain, and then Vidjo and Dope, were probably next. Would be nice to see a full list of winners going back, Midwest has had quite the diversity of tournament winners. I don't think anyone ever got to 2 SMYM wins, did they? Of course I'm not up on the recent results, but I think through SMYM7 it was 7 different champions.

I'm putting together a results spreadsheet from all of the old data I've got, just for the heck of it. Tough since they archived all the old threads, but I have some information plus some memory. Tink's got a nice run in there too that I kind of forgot about. He was a part of the Midwest Elite 5, after all.

Darkrain is the only person to take 2 SMYMs, and they were 9 and 12
So when is the next SMYM going to be?

prime, i know you dont count things after 2007, but i can remember a whole lot of tournaments from after that if you want to combine
im not gonna go through the trouble if people arent clamoring for it
now that i think about it though, remembering the winners would actually be way easier for me than remembering the events

*clamors for it*
It's not that I don't count things after 2007, it's just that I know nothing of it.
I'm going to work on it on Sunday and I'll try to post it by then. The best plan is probably to Google Docs it, then give access to some of the people with good memories that can fill in the blanks. Right now I've got around 60 tournaments with at least some information.

I posted it in another topic, just in case people actually want to keep this topic about MW Hall of Fame.

This document will inevitably pertain to it. Nevertheless...there may be a lot of discussion about that document before it's ready.

Man, not even an honorable mention as a cool dude.
Did Marcus seriously bump this really old thread earlier this year? I'm sure he didn't find it by searching for his own name. That's not how I found it either.
This is like a weird time capsule party.
