Voting closed at 3pm Friday in the AGS Awards and FOREGOs.
Awards ceremony on irc.adventuregamestudio.co.uk in channel #ags and #agsawards (details of how that works, AGA, please?) at 8pm GMT Saturday.
Get an IRC Client, i recommend mIRC (standalone program) *click* (http://mirc.com/) or chatzilla (mozilla/firefox extension) *click* (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/).
Set up your name and nickname, then create a connection to irc.adventuregamestudio.co.uk. Sample code for mIRC (don't know if it'll work in other clients):
/server irc.adventuregamestudio.co.uk
/join #agsawards
If you have java installed you can use a java irc client, just click this funky text to open one and directly connect to our server (http://www.rlscnetwork.com/sharedresources/chat.html?Channel=agsawards&ServerName=irc.adventuregamestudio.co.uk).
If you don't want to install software and don't like java you can use cgi:irc. (i stole this link) *click* (http://www.tocotronix.de/cgi-bin/irc.cgi?adv=1). Enter your nickname and realname, change the server to irc.adventuregamestudio.co.uk, channel to #agsawards. thats it!.
Oh, you can click this line if you've already got an irc client and ypur browser knows what to do with irc:// links :) (http://dasjoe.de/irc.html)
I can't connect to the bigbluecup server... It just says "*Unable to connect to server (Connection attempt timed out)" :-\
That would be because the server has changed to irc.americangirlscouts.org, SSH just hasn't caught up with the times!
Edit- I read it as irc.bluecup.com ;P
irc.bigbluecup.org is the correct, official url, I don't know what your problem is...
It may be blocked by a firewall, most likely Windows Firewall. I, myself, can't connect to any IRC server without disabling my firewall for a few seconds whilst I connect.
A very stupid question probably:
Just tried irc... I enterd and saw the Awards window. There was Haddas, ProgZTIRED (lol), and me...
I typed in "anybody?". Waited a little while but got no response... Did anybody see that? Am I doing something wrong, or am I just impatient?
I voted!!! yay, great stuff!
Why wasnt trapped with hell in the penish awards tho? Or was that last year? :P
I feel bad for not voting, but I haven't played 80% of those games.

amazing 63 seconds :P way too impatient. join #ags for now, we're over there. and people tend to remain silent for hours.
Yeah, usually #agsawards only allows the presenter and recipient to speak and then a brief period of congrats. Normal chat continues 24/7 on #ags
btw, two and a half hours left to vote!
I would have liked to vote, but there isn't a single category that I've played all games in. I tried to catch up, but couldn't find the time. :-\
Just do the FOREGOs, then, Snarky

Me neither, but I caught up in the past 2 days. I didn't finish the games, unfortunately, but played them enough to make a good judgement of which one I thought deserved the award for the every category.
