I think most people wanted to move to the unthemed contests sooner, so if no one has any objection, let's just cancel the RPG theme contest. Any maps being worked on for this, could still be eligible for the unthemed contests, or maybe Tom will choose RPG for the first theme.
Somewhat OT, but if we are moving in that direction - we could be putting something in place a la the Crammy's for 2013. Where all boards submitted in 2013 are eligible, with votes/points/etc. tallied and awards presented in early '14?
The quicker we get on it, the less designers will be tempted to sit on their thumbs until they know what's going on. So yeah - you'd want to figure out what the year's theme is sooner than later.. RPG is kind of in place, so it kind of makes sense to use it if we want to go that way..
Maybe a proposed page of Awards on the wiki that we can all tinker with ..with links to relevant forum discussions?
