AGS AWARDS 2009 [read the log of the ceremony!]

[SSH]

I wasn't able to be on the ceremony, but I read the log file. I didn't expect Cosmos Quest 3 to win any award (for best voice work or best documentation), because to be honest the CQ3 has only one voice act and also the game documentation is not that rich. But I didn't like the behaving of some of the people and their speaking for P...S AWARDS.

Which is exactly why I stopped having that award. It insults people and can hurt their feelings for the sake of a cheap laugh. While I may disagree with the behaviour of people in the games DB (or in IRC) I don't thinks that means its OK to go all ad hominem on their ass. Of course, that doesn't mean that I'm innocent in this respect, but generally if you attack a person you look like an idioit yourself.

An idiots oppinion to that:

Simply stop posting uncensored log files publically [PERIOD]


I think it has been a great night and I had more than a cheap laugh. Please don't ruin it with political correctness.

Of course you could also let Roger do the moderation and announcements and mute everyone else. Who needs freedom of expression.  :

These are community awards - if you kick the community in the nuts, it might be possible for it to kick back.
Well...  not mature but understandable.


---edit: and yeees, I'm not the ambassador of the community, I only speak for myself, blablabla.

I think we all know who got the penis award, he's probably swimming about his bowl of shit somewhere near by.

I agree, but I don't think you should stop posting uncensored log files.

I was there to have a good time! And I believe that goes for everyone. If it had been a politically correct awards ceremony, I know that I would not have been there. If you read a log file for something like this you shouldn't expect that either

Anyway, it was a great night! I had a lot of fun. Well done bici!

[m0ds]

Hahaha, IRC offenses! Come on guys, stop being fairies Just about everyone had the mick taken of them, it's called having a sense of humour. So enough posting about Harg and Harg inspired political correctness. Cheers

No one is trying to ruin the ceremony. The idea of ceremony and the ceremony itself is great! I just didn't like the behaving of 2 of the people on the ceremony that insult me. Since my game is nominated, I think I have the right to say that.

I'll repeat:
I didn't expect Cosmos Quest 3 to win any award (for best voice work or best documentation), because to be honest the CQ3 has only one voice act and also the game documentation is not that rich.

I think that the games that won are really the best games this year!

It's of course not good that you feel offended by something said during the awards. But I don't think it was meant as an insult at all. They never say that you did a bad job with anything, they're just saying that the game doesn't have a lot of voices and the game documentation wasn't as vast as other games.

I haven't played Cosmos Quest 3, and I don't know in what context this was said. Just giving my 2 cents.

EDIT: I completely misunderstood what you wrote since I was tired.. Disregard this.

[abstauber]

I know I should just shut up and let this topic end itself.

I can't!

1) Compared to Calin, the jokes on your costs are negligible

2) The p3n1s-awards have been there til 2006

3) If you re-read your post history (except for liking my tutorial ) you might understand, why Dualy made up that joke. Calm down and for a change post something nice again.
The real winner of the audience has already best been described by Chicky.


And regarding the voice award announcement:
If would have been there, I might not have messed CQ about. But since you've decided not to attend and everyone already knew that McCarthy would win, that hoax was not too inappropriate. And I've played, finished and feedbacked CQ3

[m0ds]

Good point.*

And also the p3n1sh award served as a way to deter crap games and idiots from our community.

Without it there is no stopping them!

TEH ARGH  

* Good point removed

So anyway, any already suitable entries for 2010?

[abstauber]

19. The P31NS Award - Awarded to the most uninspiring game/demo created with AGS. All nominations are welcome. Nominations will be selected, from which the AGS community will vote upon their LEAST favourite game.

err.. seems like it isn't an idiot-member awards after all  :

[poc301]

*sniff* During the ceremony I was referred to as Bill Penis when nominated.  *sniffle*

I think I am going to call a lawyer and sue someone.  Or everyone or something. 

Seriously though, if Calin can laugh at it and take it with good humor after all the stuff people said to/about him, nobody has any room to whine or complain.

-Bill

[Iliya]

Hmmm, so the P31NS Award or P3N1S Award (I don't know which is correct) is an official award for the worst game!?! I didn't know that. For me this is a bad sense of humour...

- Just don't nominate crab games and kick out the idiots with ban.

That would be so UNWELCOMING!!

[Iliya]

Welcome! Take this p...s award for the worst game!

Is this welcoming?

[Snarky]

This is a community, and individuals say stuff that comes to their mind (actually, on IRC it's usually type first, think later). There's no script, and no grand plan to persecute you. If you behave in a way people find ridiculous, some are going to make fun of you. It doesn't mean that everyone hates you. Just get over it, and try making some posts other than "Boo hoo, everyone is mean to me!" You'll see things improve.

[SinSin]

What about the   AGS Nice idea but Nah! award

[FSi++]

That would be so UNWELCOMING!!

Welcome! Take this p...s award for the worst game!

Is this welcoming?

Well... Have you played any of my games? P...s award would be well deserved. In fact, they were too bad even for p3n1s award (look up some nominees for this award, it's not just worst games, it's hilariously bad ones).

p.s. I honestly recommend you my PowerCow game (I've reuploaded it and fixed the DB link just now)

What's worse, I've heard it was the RATING PANEL that invented the P3N1S-award!!! Omg unfairness overdose!!


PS:
I find it insultive and unfair that I didn't get the life time achievement award, when every other Tom, Dick and Harry on this forum has got one. I'm going to remove myself from the member database in protest!

Glad you've enjoyed the IRC Ceremony Harg.

I understand that you feel insuted by it, but let's face it: you are quite a controversial character here on the AGS boards. If you voice your opinions loud, you must take into account that people will throw something back at you.

Having said that, why don't you come and visit IRC? I'm sure you will find some nice/cheerful people there!

unrelated: talking of P3n15 award: play Happy Horse you all!

If it makes you feel any better, I said you should get the life time achievement award but everyone said they hated you and your damn top hat.

but i said you were awesome

Spoiler

5 cups for McCarthy 2, please

On the subject of the penis award, grow up. I got called a girl several hundred times and I was alright.. This is IRC not the damn houses of parliament.
