And please tell me what time/hours you'd be more likely able to attend the ceremony

I'm not sophisticated enough to attend things in cyberspace like you crazy kids do today. I can't afford one of those virtual reality suits and spinning chairs like I saw in that documentary The Lawnmower Man. Is there no chance we can get a downloadable ceremony like in years past? (For old farts like myself who avoid the information super highway because all you kids drive like maniacs?)  :'(

You got nominated goddamn you! You owe this to me! You know how much money did I send to bicilotti?!

[Igor Hardy]

Ah, what a nice thing to see after waking up! What a great thing to start a new day with!

Congrats to the nominees! And may the snakest ones win (something)!

[bicilotti]

Hey Bici, that url is throwing me an Untrusted Connection warning. Just so ya know.

I wrote https instead of the usual http. Now's corrected: please try and tell me if it is all ok.

[Darius Poyer]

Sweet presentation sir! seems I got some nominations for rein as well, like best short game and eh, something else. needless to say I'm fairly exited.

[arj0n]

URL is still written as https in your post :-)

Awesome presentation btw!!

[Technocrat]

Oh AWESOME! If Technobabylon doesn't win something I'm going to be pretty miffed, what with all those categories!

If it's on a weekend, I can probably join in any time. And if not...uhm...11am-6pm GMT?

[tzachs]

Wow, some really nice effects there!
And congratulations to all the nominees!

[straydogstrut]

Until then (hopefully tomorrow) here's a pathetic excuse for a noms presentation..

That was brilliant Bici! Loved the effects and congrats to all the nominees!=D

And please tell me what time/hours you'd be more likely able to attend the ceremony

I haven't used a chatroom for about 10 years (seriously) but I think I can dust off the old acronyms and figure out how to use an IRC client. Weekends are fine for me, or any time after 1830 GMT (of course, if the ceremony is to be held during the day then no worries).

[Dualnames]

I've got to say, if anyone hasn't used an irc client for ages, he may occasionally fail to do so on the exact night, so try joining just before the big night, see if you still can and stuff. Plus the more, the merrier!

[cianty]

Congrats to the nomiated games! I see a lot of rightful entries there. It's good to see one's own favourites represented.

I don't think there's any doubt that the ceremony needs to take place on a weekend. By the way, how long will it roughly take?

[bicilotti]

40 minutes usually.

I'd say saturday night but many agsers prefer to go out and get drunk o saturday nights.
I'd like this ceremony to be inclusive to aussies and americans too (which could be impossible): 12AM Saturday (or sunday) anyone?

[Snarky]

Depends on what timezone you're talking about, doesn't it?

And I assume there'll be a voting period first? We're not moving straight from the nominations to the awards ceremony, are we?

Ehehe, you and your democratic concerns! Of course there will be voting! 

Aaand yes, depends on the timezones (simple clock algebra tells me that 12-6 or 12+8/9 could be bearable to non europeans. Keep your suggestions coming!)

  112 voted, more than doubling last year's number!

That's interesting, and it'd be the nice to keep that doubling tendency for future years.

Would it be possible to also reveal how many people voted during nominations in Awards 2007 and 2008?

Sweet! Glad to see JD nominated for so many different awards.  :o Thanks all!

I can't believe my multi dimensional spaghetti code didn't make it to best programming though. 

Kick-ass presentation btw, bici!

Being my second year in charge I am only sure of last year's numbers (i.e. 55). We should prod SSH leak some data!

Kick-ass presentation btw, bici!

To everyone who liked it, thanks!

And congrats to the noms!
