I'll mention Good Morning Phobos. I think it deserves a mentionation.

Universal Doom 2 Intermission Screen Mod for obvious reasons.

Xaser, if you make a mini episode or (ideally) a megawad of Dead.Air-style maps then I'll pay you

OT: Xaser, if you make a Dead.Air theme for the DW Forums, I'll pay you (with virtual hugs and kisses).

[SArais]

DW needs more themes in general.

 

I vote for "Void", "Techbase/Infested" "Crimson and Obsidian" and "Familiar (sp_)Faces"

Too late, we've all gotten used to the new Doomworld now.  Not allowed to change it or we'll whine again.

Bring back Post Hell and I think we'll be okay.

I love the new doomworld look! Anyways I have no idea what to nominate, I always have such a hard time finding new and interesting wads... there's simply too much! These are my nominations I guess :D

[scifista42]

BTSX E1 already got a Cacoward in 2013. :)

[SArais]

Another for notable mappers; give one to Albertoni for his shrooms maps. The visuals may not be for everyone, but they're great fun. Zaneion for his fuckheug but well thought-out and detailed maps (abeit; many of the large areas seem to lack a certain something; prehaps appropriately sized things to shoot at, this is just from trying some vinur), I already mentioned others like floatrand.

 

Should we have additional 'stubs' in the side-column this year, prehaps for "style/trend setters" in doom terms; something that one person does; others pick up on, and quickly becomes a staple for doom that year? For example; cyber's void wad (became the root inspiration for countless void themes), whatever Skillsaw did this year (it's skillsaw), pieces of interesting detail (visual and mental connection for mappers), innovative use of assets (combining them in ways that normally wouldn't go together; for example Mouldy) and so forth?

Sounds more like possible topics to explore in shows like Intermission or Evolution of the WAD rather than sidebar fodder in Cacowards. Most of the accompanying content already deals with interesting stuff that was trending that year (and we could still remember come December), so locking ourselves into more returning featurettes would be counterproductive. Not to mention it's technically filler that's projected to have roughly the same length as the main articles, so there's not much physical space to throw around. (And we were pretty successful with it last year until someone unbalanced page 1 with a huge photo of some old hippy.)

[SArais]

I'm not fond of using the term regardless; but it is certainly something that should be looked at and covered a bit. There's a lot of tricks that people should know about that come in real handy.

I did not play Stardate 20x7 yet. But knowing that it's Ribbiks we're talking about, it deserves a spot here as well!

We should just give those two a perpetual cacoward.

No idea if this qualifies because the first maps were released in 2016, but this E2 replacement by Carlos Lastra is probably my favorite non-E1 episode ever made.

Uni is a good candidate; presuming any development releases this year.

Almost without a doubt too silly to be added, but someone gave me the idea. :D

Ribbiks and Dannebubinga for couple of the year. ;-)
