An interesting moral dilemma has just hit me in the face.

Would I be a d1ck if I voted for JD wherever possible?
Would I be stupid if I didn't?

Am I, in fact a stupid d1ck for even asking? hmmm.

bicilotti · Sun 13/02/2011 21:12:23

If you think the game deserves your vote in that category, I don't see any problem!

Same here. Voting against one's own true opinion just for the sake of not voting for oneself... that's kinda stupid, I think.

theo · Sun 13/02/2011 21:42:00

I am for obvious reasons slightly biased in this matter.

I will however do my best to cast my vote where I truly believe it belongs. Thanks.

Armageddon · Sun 13/02/2011 21:53:06

I voted JD for most things. It's so too perfect.

ddq · Sun 13/02/2011 21:58:27

I vote for Saturday. May the best games win!

Cyborg says dates & time are perfectly doable, although I prefer the Saturday...

According to this, it seems BST means two hours in the past for me, so Saturday night would be perfect for me, 'cos Sunday will probably be reserved for Uni homework or studying or something.

Also, a bit late, but here's my public service announcement:

QuoteHave you found yourself gettin' cozy with your mate, preparing to have a wild night on the moon of Gleemoot V and you thought to yourself "Hey, what I really need now is some music to get me in Stallion mode..." and you just couldn't find the right soundtrack to fit your earth-shattering, planet-melting, black hole-opening masculinity? Well, look no further than the Hard Space: Conquest of the Gayliks soundtrack! With such testosteron-boosting cuts as the "Hard Space Main Theme", "Shirt Off!" and the "SS (SexShip) Penetrator", you're sure to give the unsuspecting victim of your GIANORMOUS affections a night she'll never forget! Vote for it now in the AGS Awards and we will send it to your house, along with a can of Sloppy Joe's Hand Cream Lotion and a stack of the finest porno rags that can be found in an old man's basement this side of the Spiral Arm! Not only that, but we'll also throw in a discount coupon for the doctor's office when your head will undoubtedly explode from the surge of manly manliness that will go through it the instant you hear the first notes.

Disclaimer: one or several of the things contained in here might be total BS. However, you should still vote for it.

On a more serious note, being nominated is just huge for me, even if I don't win (and I probably won't, but maybe I will, although it's possible I won't) and I would like to publicly thank ProgZMax again for the huge opportunity of working with him and I would also like to thank everyone who nominated Hard Space for Best Music, you guys and gals make my metalized black heart warm and my pants tight!

Also, I would like to plug one of the most kind and supportive people around - Technocrat. He's been really great to work with, and he has made some excellent games, and he's just awesome - he deserves to win SOMETHING, dammit! I know Technobabylon's a big thing, but don't overlook Operation Forklift, either! (And I'm not just saying that 'cos I did the music for it, but also because it's a great game and very innovative for AGS, GO PLAY IT NOW!)

Ok, long (and slightly emotional) post over. Thanks again to everyone and cheers! Can't wait for the ceremony!

Kweepa · Mon 14/02/2011 00:29:11

No, no, no! You should never vote for yourself! That is just wrong. You can't possibly be objective. It's vanity gone amok!

Actually 3, Mar 2011 is a Thursday...
I'd say Saturday regardless. But I'd prefer a Friday really.

:o mar 4, thanks for noticing. corrected now!

WHAM · Mon 14/02/2011 06:52:46

Saturday!

If I understand the BST correctly, this should be 2300 here in Finland, so that's just perfect for me.

Stupot · Mon 14/02/2011 08:38:23

In case anyone finds it useful - BST is GMT+1 (although BST doesn't even come into force until the end of March, so it's kind of irrelevent at the moment)

I might miss this coz I'll be visiting chums in Tokyo, but who knows. I might be stuck inside somewhere with nothing else to do at that time.

Jared · Mon 14/02/2011 09:04:12

It seems I'm more out of touch with AGS than I thought... I haven't played a single nominated game, lol.

If it ends up being 9:00pm BMT, that should be somewhere around 6:00am Sunday Morning here in Tokyo. If you're conscious at that hour, it'll likely still be pretty damned cold outside (Snowing right now, not sure about 2 weeks from now), so curling up someplace warm and watching the awards doesn't seem like such a stretch.

Sunday afternoon (Evening here in JPN) would make it much easier for me to participate without falling asleep at my keyboard, but I can plan for either.

Chicky · Mon 14/02/2011 11:53:52

Yeah Saturday night (gmt) would be great, i'm filming all day friday so that's a no no for me.

Mr. ShiverMeSideways was kind enough to update the wiki

http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/AGS_Awards_2010

now credits shows who contributed in that particular category (before it was teh game main author, even if s/he didn't do all by him/herself).

CalinBenAscoBaron, yours might need some more tweaking. If it is so, feel free to abuse the wiki and let us know!

Now I catch where all these spambots come from!

Snarky · Fri 18/02/2011 23:53:16

Sorry, but can anyone explain/remind me how the "gameplay" category differs from "puzzles"? In most adventure games, and in all the games nominated, the gameplay consists of puzzles, so I fail to see the difference.
