RESULTS of the FOREGOs: AGS Forums awards!

[SSH]

Don't forget to vote: If your vote is not in by the time I close voting (which will actually be about  midday GMT on Monday) then it won't count, so get those votes in and join the 50 or so others who have voted!

Still some categories are neck-and-neck, so every vote counts!

THE RESULTS!

At last, the FOREGOs are finished and the results are counted. 49 lovely people sent me their 447 votes over the 11 categories and here are the final results:

CJ's best deed of 2003 was, by a long margin, Breathing and being Awesome. So CJ, just keep inhaling and exhaling and we'll be happy! (nomination by Yufster, OTG and ._.)


The best moderator is a man who many have confused for a woman, thanks to his avatar. Yes, it's everyone's favourite time traveller: Mr Colossal (lets see if I can spell it right this time)

Next up comes the best "n00b" helper in the Beginners Tech forum. Despite strong competition (ie me  oh yeah and some other guys), this goes to Scorpiorus.

Now we come to the "best unimplemented suggestion". Now, despite Lens Flare having multiple nominations, another suggestion captured people imaginations and had the largest winning margin (22 votes!) of any category: Character animation preview (nomination by DGMacphee)

The best Tech Forum contribution was a close fought thing: it was tied on 16 votes each to Proskrito and Scorpiorus before last weekend began... but the weekend voting has handed it to Scorpiorus his second award!

Now come the Critics Lounge awards: split into helpful musician and helpful artist.

Despite there being 6 nominees in this category all the helpful artists recieved a healthy bunch of votes, so they should all be congratulated on the work that they do helping people. But one guy stood out with more votes, and I think that most of us owe our walkcycles to his tutorials... yes, Eric does it again as MrColossal takes the helpful artist award.

As for the musicians: again they all do a great job with their help to folks, but in this category one person has obviously spent far too much time doing other people's music and not enough developing Fountain of Youth: yes, it's m0ds!

Now comes the first of the "chat" categories: judged not necessarily on helpfulness but on general contribution to a forum. AGS Talk & Chat is our adventure-related forum and once again I was nominated. It just shows the quality of the other nominees when you realise that I came last with only 5 votes! This category ius another of the close-run ones but in the end, DGMacphee pipped the others to the post.

Now we have awards for the efforts made by people in two of the less-visited forums, which was reflected in the vote counts here. Still, there was a decent haul and everyone nominated here had a good count of votes too:

Best constructive criticism in the Games in Production forum goes to Dave Gilbert, who doesn't post a great deal but it obviosuly counts when he does.

And the most helpful hinter has been chosen to be a real afficionado: AGA

Finally, the second "chat" award, for General Discussion contribution was another close-fought battle. But it seems that one man's efforts to rouse the hispanic vote succeeded and thanks to the support of pretty much anyone who speaks Spanish on the forums, Farlander takes the FOREGO.


It is a great shame not to reward the runners-up, who are greatly deserving too, but I will be contacting the winners so they can sort out their custom forum titles.

Thanks and see you next year (if I can't fob it off on to someone else)

[AGA]

I don't deserve to win, give it to Inkoddi

[Yufster - Enemy Computer]

Oh, I'll take it.

[DGMacphee]

Who'da thought all those years of telling morons to get fucked would finally pay off?  

Thanks for organising this, SSH.

[rodekill]

I maintain that I am really the most general person around.

I will strive harder for next year.

[Scorpiorus]

Can't believe I got two of them!
Thanks people, I very appreciate it!

I too think there are many people who should be rawarded!
May I share the Tech award with Proskrito?


And yeah, excellent job carrying out FOREGOs, SSH!

~Cheers

[Dave Gilbert]

O_O

I won!

And I haven't posted in the GiP forum in nearly six months...

I'm just as confused as you are.

But thanks for voting for me!    I feel so loved.

[Nacho]

I voted for Dave Gilbert, and I remember that Andrew (SSH) asked why, as Dave admitted not posting a lot in the GiP forum... I just could say that there was a post by Dave who impressed me, I can´t recall which was, but that was why I voted him... Maybe there has been more people who has made the same that me...
