okay, i'm using Opera to vote now but... i can't find anything in the rules that says you can't vote for your own games, have i missed it, or did you forget to include it?

Weirdly I can't vote. It says in the AGS awards website that I must be logged in but I AM logged in here. In one window there's me logged in to the AGS forums and on the other window the awards page says I'm not

I'm at work, behind a firewall and all that stuff, but I'm afraid it will happen the same at home ... (it usually does)

The list of games is amazing. Hard to realise how many great games have apperades this year. But I cannot vote either, same problem here  :'(

Edit: Worked now, thanks a lot to DG :)

Yeah, I got it to work (finally) by opening the voting booth thing (the place where it says you have to be logged in etc etc) in a new window. Just hold shift and left-click the 'VOTE HERE' link. Worked for me at least.

I should have automatically opened it in a new window -- The porblem is rectified now.

Also, like I said, make sure you enter both the name of the game and the character you're voting for in the character awards.

It's difficult when some people nominate a game for non-player character but don't specify a character.

And yes, you are allowed to vote for your own games -- it'd be stupid not to.

Is there any way I can vote again without being disqualified?

There's nothing I can do about it cause CJ coded the database -- I'll see what he can do.

Besides, an experienced netuser like yourself should know you use TAB to change fields -- not enter.

I know it is my mistake. And I am damn sorry about that.

Vel, I've removed your entry from the database, so you should be able to try again now.

I'll be out of town now until next weekend, so if anyone else has a similar accident leave a PM for me and I'll reset it then.

Oh and um DG, isn't this the Awards for 2003 ;)

question: will there be a place where we can post "for your consideration" ads like last year, in a last ditch atempt to pimp lesser known games? what forum would that go?

Panda: I'll start one in the Games in Production forum.

Is sylpher.com down?
None of the sites hosted on it seem to be working properly right now.
At least not for me at the moment.
But what strikes me as odd is that they worked fine for me yesterday..
Hope the site gets back up. I want to vote, so my demo can get at least one vote ;)

Hey. The Bestowers of Eternity - why is it in the full games, not demo section? Puzzled and confused.

According to Dave, it is also full-length, but it hardly exceeds an hour of gameplay.

DG, Is it decided when will the ceremony be held? I think that it would be best if it were held on the 31st or 1st because it is a weekend and more people will be able to log to IRC and watch.. er.. read it.

I normally hold it on the weekends in the past.

Just be cool and sit tight, Vel -- Everything is under control.

question from an ignorant:

how to access the ags channel? I know I have to get a mIRC client (or something like that) but nothing else

Post by: TheYak on Sat 10/01/2004 09:36:55
You can get mIRC from http://www.mirc.com (http://www.mirc.com).  After it's installed (30 day evaluation but it keeps going after that), you go to File, Connect and choose Quakenet under IRC Network.  For the server, put it on Quakenet: Random server (specify your country, if it's listed, for best connect).  One you're connected, you can type /join #AGS or type #ags in the channel list window.  Oops, forgot, it'll have you fill in a nick, etc. when you start it.

Nominations for the AGS Awards will end on the 13th of Jan because I will be out of Brisbane.

Voting for winners will probably start on the 18th as CJ won't have access to his computer until then.

However, if there are any changes, I'll let you know.

Does this mean that you will announce the nominees on the 13th or on the 18th?

Is that 13th Aussie Time?
Title: Re:The AGS Awards for 2003 will end on the 13/1/2004!
Post by: DGMacphee on Sun 11/01/2004 18:46:22
Vel: i'll announce the 13th -- I'm giving the 5 day cooling-off period for a few reasons: a) both CJ and I will be away b) it'll give a chance for people to play all the games that are nominated.

Barcik: Normally GMT.

But what difference does it make what hour or what exact time?

My rationale is this: if you haven't voted yet and you miss out, tough shit!

You've had nearly two weeks!
