The clap button in the awards game did play the sound, but not write "clap". I suppose most people used the button.

Okay, here's the IRC log of the ceremony.

I like how the last sentence of it all is:

<@bicilotti> NOW LET'S RIOT

There seems to have been a distinct lack of clappiness compared to previous years, or is it just my failing memory?

My log actually went on for ages after that, but I thought that was an amusing place to end.

Thanks, AGA. Now I can relive both my crushing defeat and Stee's creepy obsession with stalking me for years to come!  (laugh)

Hooray for all the winners and hooray for the best music award for ~airwave~, and boo to .rar files and Linux netbooks and for arriving just in time for Dualnames completely prohibiting any kind of clapping whatsoever, haha.  :-[ :-*
I, object.

This was the first AGS Awards ceremony I've ever attended, and I had a terrific time.

Thank you very, very much to the people who voted for Adventure: All in the Game as well as the people who helped to put this event together!

It was great fun. I had a gas, even though I should've been writing my dissertation.
Congrats to the winners.

Why isn't there a more general version of the programme?  I mean one that is just for general fun and games rather than just the awards ceremony? This needs to be addressed by those who can... Have multiple rooms including a bar, library, games room etc :-) IT could be amazing  :P

P.S. @Dualnames, where did you disappear to at the end?

I did chapter corrections, resubmitted and got excellent feedback in return, all during the ceremony.

Cripes. You put me to shame.  I'm researching suicide in Japan.  It's only 6000 words, but I'm so behind and the deadline is the 16th.

Haha, what level are you writing this dissertation for? For my Ph.D., mine are supposed to be roughly 8,000 word chapters, and I owe seven of those in July with only three done so far (not that it's a contest -- I've had a year and a half already to work on mine!).

EDIT: That 'haha' was meant to imply that I'm not putting anyone to shame, because I'm so far behind, not to laugh at your deadline, or suicide in Japan!

THIS! We need the AGS Tiki Lounge and we need it now! I demand a pool and a karaoke machine. Also, we need a neon Larry Vales head over the clubhouse. SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Also, Duals disappeared through a secret passage to the speak easy underneath the stage. You could have joined us, Stupot, but I guess no one told you the secret password. (Hint: It's Oceanspirit Dennis sent me.)  :cool:

I would love it if something like that existed! I'd even be willing to contribute some more characters to choose from.

You should ask Duals, he for sure has the source.

Ishmael, among others, suggested to de-clutter the awards channel from clapping.

I am sure there was a very good reason for this, I just wanted to express my "hot damn I'm late for the party and there's dead people in my cake"-feeling I got when I joined the channel, haha.


EDIT: That 'haha' was meant to imply that I'm not putting anyone to shame, because I arrived so late, not to laugh at de-cluttering things, or dead people in cakes!
