[edit] The Way RPG Maker Series

A video game made from a VG construction kit; no evidence provided to support its claims that it is any more popular or otherwise notable than any other game made with the kit. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:23, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. After some digging I found the home site of the game; crestfallen.us. No apparent awards on the site but on the forums (577 members) is some mention of them. More digging brought up an award in 2002 from a VG kit tutorial site:

--- Most Original RPG Maker 2000 Game --- "Now, theres been plenty of games that have been accused of being Final Fantasy rip-offs and the like. However, there have also been plenty of games that the designer thought of off the top of his head. Which ideas were great? Which ideas werent so? Heres the nominees for the Most Original RPG Maker 2000 Game! "Lun, with The Way!" Lun is the creator of the great RPG Maker 95 game, Crestfallen: Inception. The Way is Luns RPG Maker 2000 project, and is a very pretty game which uses Panoramas instead of chipsets!

"The Misao Awards for the entire Way series can be viewed here: http://www.rpg-palace.com/games/the_way/" And look at the forums, it has over 150 members.

There is also a mention of another award (the so called Misao) of which the site's down and thus unverifiable.

The lack of verifyable "profesional" awards makes this decision fairly simple, unless the creator of the series can set his modesty aside and show the awards he's won over time. Try contacting the creator of the article. -- L3TUC3 12:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I'd love to verify the veracity of the Misao awards, for instance why they've given this RPG the same award 3 years in a row, but the website appears to not exist. That combined with the fact that RPG Maker games are a dime a dozen, pretty much, and I'd say this is a good caniddate for deletion. Mo0[talk] 05:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
