AGS Awards 2013! - Wieners (and winners)

Myinah · Sun 09/02/2014 23:12:36

Just scrolling through AGS forums as I haven't been online much recently, check the nominations and see Witchy Woo was nominated. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Thanks for the nomination guys. Sox and I are chuffed to bits.

I'm guessing voting hasn't started yet?

Sorry if it's mentioned somewhere and I didn't notice but any idea of when voting begins?

I usually leave a few days 'off' after the nominations, so people can discuss and devs can thank the voters/their mums/god.
I am sending a PM to AGA so he can set up the voting page; I expect voting to start in the next 48 hours.

It's a shame that after so much debate, we decided to allow Primordia to compete, and it didn't get even one nomination. I played the Demo and loved it, and hoped to see it in the nominees.

Primordia did not compete. I asked Dualnames about his intentions and he politely and firmly stated that he did want to withdraw the game from the awards (hence votes for Primordia were disregarded).
Well then that's also a shame, as I feel it would have done very well and it deserves to be recognized. Thanks for the clarification, though. It seemed odd, and it's good to know what went down.

And now I'll just say good luck to all of the nominees!

Ah, thanks for explanation, I was also wondering about this. I understand that Dualnames got discouraged because of the long discussion about commercial vs. free game nominations and time of release vs. time of adding to the database, yet I think it was kind of unnecessary to withdraw his game from the awards altogether (before the discussion even ended). I was hoping that he would change his mind. Oh well.

Yeah, I totally nominated Primordia. Doesn't seem quite right.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT A VOTE FOR CONSPIROCRACY IS A VOTE FOR PRIMORDIA.

Personally, I'm voting Donald Dowell all the way as I personally had more of a fun experience with it (working on it and playing it) than I believe I would have had with Heroine's Quest, as it was more of a personal experience, by which I mean an experience personal to me in that I personally experienced it.

DISCLAIMER: I have never played Heroine's Quest, nor have I played it way too much, nor has it affected me in any way

Ok, time to choose between Democrats and Republicans.
Vote!

Ghost · Tue 11/02/2014 09:10:21

Voted. Which ones were the Democrats?

CaptainD · Tue 11/02/2014 09:31:03

Voted!

Really interested to see what wins Best Background Art - I had a really tough time deciding on that one. (Not that the others were necessarily easy decisions, but for me that one was the toughest to pick a winner.)

Thanks again for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make these awards happen.

dactylopus · Tue 11/02/2014 09:49:58

Voted. Most of my votes went to one game, but that's because a good number of the games I nominated didn't make it (or withdrew themselves).

Good luck to all nominees! Some of these should be very interesting!

To identify the Denocratics or the Republicans, just watch at the uppercase letters in the game title. If you find a D (or two) it's Democratic stuff, if you find a R somewhere it's Republican stuff.

(just joking)

Neither. I voted NDP.

Radiant · Tue 11/02/2014 14:49:16

So where's the Green game? And do we have any tea-related games?

DoorKnobHandle · Tue 11/02/2014 14:49:51

I dunno but I drank a lot of green tea while making The Art of Dying haha.

Janos Biro · Tue 11/02/2014 18:28:31

I began to play the AGS community games very recently, so I will try to play all the nominated games I can before voting. But I already have my favorite for Best Short Game.

bicilotti · Fri 28/02/2014 23:06:18

Last few days before voting closes! Cast your preferences if you haven't already!

We now need to decide the date of party (i.e. when to held the Ceremony for the Awards)!
Follow this Doodle poll and let us know when it fits your busy schedule! All times are London time.

Volcan · Sat 01/03/2014 00:31:10

I voted for 12h00pm but I can't say I'll be at he ceremony. 01h00pm, 02h00 pm and 03h00 pm would be great for me.

Added a 3:00 PM option. The options are not ordered because I don't want to screw up people who already voted.
Apparently likes to call midday 12:00 PM!

KodiakBehr · Sat 01/03/2014 05:15:28

Voted, with the caveat that I'll probably be a little late for the 22:00 ones. Where is the ceremony held? IRC?

Ponch · Sat 01/03/2014 05:39:44

Voted. Are we using the AGS theater again? It's much classier than irc.
