AGS Awards 2010 *LIVE* CEREMONY

What is a live ceremony?
As an annual event, the AGS awards winners are revealed via a ceremony that so far has taken place on the IRC Channel. However the awesomeness of SSH's rendition of the ceremony, after it was concluded has led into this. A live ceremony is a ceremony where YOU control yourself.

How does it work?
Firstly thanks to Wyz's code (designed for this purpose mostly) we now can have the most awesome thing ever imagined. Or second close. Regardless everyone will be assigned of a person in the crowd. Now announcers when given the ability to announce will be ported on stage. The AGS executable offers automatic connection to the AGS ceremony channel, and only requires you to declare your nickname on start. It keeps log of everything individually.

Who's behind this?
Wyz, Dualnames, JimReed, m0ds, bicilotti and most importantly YOU.

It's not hard to use or to comprehend, it's designed for people that can't use the irc or don't want to download a client, or just want to make this MORE AWESOME THAN EVER.

Modified the first post of the AGS Awards thread to mention this!

WHAM · Thu 17/02/2011 13:08:31

I will most definitely be participating!

Snarky · Thu 17/02/2011 13:09:21

Oh, absolutely! Count me in.

Suggestion: Make the date and time of the beta test more visible in your post.
About the "automatic connection bit"... There is no need to be on a home-made VPN like in CVB?

I'll come. For my avatar it could be the one from Cold Virtual Beer (easy), can I make my own? Does it have to be the one made by you?

SpacePirateCaine · Thu 17/02/2011 13:23:17

Probably be laggy as all hell, but I'm game for it. Count me in.

Igor Hardy · Thu 17/02/2011 13:24:25

Damn, I invited like 100 people already!

But screw them, just count me in.

abstauber · Thu 17/02/2011 13:33:47

As much as I'd like custom avatars it's off-limits, as time is ticking away.

You mean it's too late to send you .chr files? :'(

No, but still no custom avatars. I'm gonna probably use them. For what we have now, people will be assigned the same character. We'll see on the following days, for now gimme all you got baby.

Kweepa · Thu 17/02/2011 14:14:04

This is one of the coolest things ever.
Definitely in the running for best non-adventure next year!
I'm assuming of course that it works - I have high hopes!
Count me in.

[EDIT] I don't understand. Do you want custom avatars sent to you or not?

Dualnames · Thu 17/02/2011 14:30:36

Okay I think I might be able to code this. SEND ME YOUR CUSTOM AVATARS, if anyone wants his OWN AVATAR ONLY BY HIMSELF, gimme a password to code.

mode7 · Thu 17/02/2011 14:35:11

Count me in Dual!

Haha I don't care if someone is using my avatar. :-)
I'll make mine tonight.

You didn't answer my question about the connection: Will one nee dot be on a home made VPN (e.g. Log Me In/Hamachi) or does it work over the Internet?

It works over irc.

Which means we get to see the log of the irc. And also our messages go over to the irc channel of the ceremony. However we got characters and see the show via an AGS executable.

AJA · Thu 17/02/2011 14:47:27

What an absolutely crazy idea. I'm in!

abstauber · Thu 17/02/2011 14:57:47

Oh, one last question: since we have a high-res background here. Which resolution/size should the characters have?

Dualnames · Thu 17/02/2011 15:00:17

The resolution is 640x480. I still don't have the background yet since JimReed is working on it, and please don't take me wrong I'd like to use Ali's background like hell, but I want something more fitting in my ideas for now. I'm no arrogant cock. At least not on February.

cat · Thu 17/02/2011 15:05:56

I still don't fully understand how it will work but it sounds fun so I'm in!
