AGS Awards 2011 (check the results!)

[bicilotti]

Yay! So nominations will go till the end of March?

Yes, I asked CJ for two weeks and a handful of days, to accomodate for contingt events like PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Web\AGS\yabb\Sources\Subs.php on line 321

I don't know the exact date though, I will inquire about that from him.

Vote folks!

why not bind the nominations to a forum account (perhaps anonymised if preferred) and make it possible to nominate in sessions and even remove nominations rather than nominating out of hundreds of games all at once. Okay, too late for this year and good thing it is possible to nominate at all but an idea for next year.

Put in my todo list!

Keep coming, voters!

Best Documentation or Tutorial is a bit short on noms count, don't forget about it when choosing your fav games!

[bicilotti]

quoting myself:

Yep, the early end of nominations caught me by surprise too. Didn't manage to nominate any games yet, as I planned to play through a few more candidates first.

Is that by design or by mistake? I thought the nominations thread said they'd run to the end of the month?

Mistake (due to asynchronous communication between me and the Man). The noms will close... well, from when CJ set up the forum wide announcement again + 7 days.

[bicilotti]

So noms are open for ONE MORE WEEK and will close on

April 5, at 23:30

Don't miss your chance to nominate your fav games!

Last few hours to nominate, guys & guyettes!

[bicilotti]

Finally, nomination time is over! You can check the nominees here.

A couple of notes:
   

• There is no 'best documentation or tutorial category', as no game reached the minimum amount of 5 votes.
     
• I wanted to release a minigame to reveal the nominees but, as I will be unable to get my paws on a win machine, I scrapped the idea. Many thanks to everyone who offered to help!
  
  
  
  I will ask CJ to set up the voting page as soon as possible. Voting will take 3 weeks.
  
  As usual, we need to decide when to have the IRC  Ceremony. Please post here your desiderata as for day of the week / time (GMT).
  
  Congratulations to all of the nominees and to you folks for patiently waiting!
  
  

[bicilotti]

Vote time, folks! Be a good citizen and vote vie the voting page.

voting will close on may 2, 23:30 GMT.

Don't forget to tell us your fav date for the awards ceremony!

[SSH]

I doubt I'll be able to make it, but have a good ceremony, folks!

[Dualnames]

I have voted. I want my complimentary ribbon. Also I'm going to say that May 2 is fine date by me, as of now.

[Snarky]

So you don't need to know the winners in advance in order to customize the ceremony game?

[Dualnames]

So you don't need to know the winners in advance in order to customize the ceremony game?

No, I just presume every single game has won, we have 24 unique games instead of 30.

[bicilotti]

More or less 10 days left!

Keep voting!

[pcj]

As for the day of the week for the event, I would say probably the weekend would be better.

[Stupot]

I've voted   Knowing I havn't played many games this year and won't have time during the voting period, I decided not to vote in categories where I had played less than half of the nominees. I think that's fairer on my part than just voting Gemini Rue for everything without having played many of the others.

[bicilotti]

Snsible thinking, Stupot!

As for the day of the week for the event, I would say probably the weekend would be better.

Yes, weekend is a must. I thought we could try to have the ceremony at midday or something, to allow not only europeans to follow it. I wonder if there are americans or australians interested, though!

(I'm an American)

[Icey]

I'm def making the IRC after party game this year!

[WHAM]

So is the ceremony tonight as well, or has the date been set in some other thread?
