Title: AGS Awards TEH BIG CEREMONEY! AND TEASER!
Post by: SSH on Sun 11/02/2007 18:12:32
Yes, get your Gucci handbags and Prada ballgowns ready, its time for the annual AGS Awards ceremony. Please show up on IRC and listen type in!

And  here's a teaser for you: one of the games that got multiple nominations HAS WON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Never mind, I'll make them March's game of the month instead...

As well as the winners of the final vote, you can find out the Best New Resource, Best Innovation and Lifetime achievement winners!

You're just being bitter.

I personally hope this goes smoothly and the best game wins. :D

Well, another year, another awards ceremony.

Thanks to AGA, SSH, and all the award presenters for taking the time to make it happen. :)

Well done to the winners, commiserations to the losers.

Roll on next year!

Yes, my first AGS Awards ceremony. Good work SSH and AGA, it was great.

Next year, MG will take everything ;).

Here (http://caverider.com/log.html#)'s the log of the Awards, provided by BOYD1981, with magic applause-toggling technology courtesy of scotch.

And here for all the behind-the-scenes bitching, is the chat channel (http://www.agagames.com/%23AwardsChat.log.php) log.

Well done to all!

Let's hope for a even better year this year! (It's going to be hard to beat a wonderful year like 2006)

Also, I think it should be Spooks the fish instead of Uncle Ernie in Best Supporting Character.

Thanks again to the organizers!  And congrats to everyone!

Woah.  Didn't see the "Lifetime Achievement" thing before.  This is a great honor, guys.  I'm seriously overwhelmed.

Good job, those who made this thing happen, once again.
I don't remember when I attended one of those award ceremonies last time.
Think it was '01.

Some drunkard puked on my tuxedo.

Quote[20:39] <SSH> in this award there was no final vote because there was only one nominee[20:40] <SSH> and when I say lame walk...[20:40] <SSH> SSH's Walkcycle Generator!

Woop! So you won that one? Way to go!

Well done to everyone, and well done Dave with the lifetime achievement award :D

And yay for the FoY demo!!!!! Thank you for your votes! :)

I'm annoyed I missed the awards, but I don't think I ever found out what date they were on. Hehe, d'oh!

It only said on the voting page, the 3 or 4 threads about the awards and at the top of the forum...  ::)  :P

...which was changed from 'voting is underway' only a few hours before the actual ceremony, if I hadn't been on irc the day before, I wouldn't have known.
I apply for the position of awards PR and pimp for next year! :)

I think it's perfectly clear why both Spooks and WLBSWHEAC won awards.

Exemplary beta testing.

Am I right? Am I right? ;D

I somehow missed the ceremony announcement. I need an assistant... or an email reminder.

I also missed out on yelling "No, I'M SPARTACUS!" at every allotment. 'tis a said day indeed.

Wow, thanks so much to everyone who voted for me (and Spooks). It was a happy surprise to get as many nominations as I did, and I still can't believe Spooks got nominated for best game. The awards obviously belong to my wicked-awesome team as well. I guarantee it wouldn't have been the same game without Chris's haunting music or Vince's devilish programming. Oh, also, my crack team of beta testers. Cheers guys. :)

Well done teh Ivy! That also comfortably secures the brilliance of the sequel ;) Whenever that is!
