Topic: AGS Awards 2019 - Awards are over, see you next year!

[CaptainD]

I'm getting an error message when I try to log in, am I doing something stupid?   

[cat]

The client just crashed for many (most?) people. Give us a sec to check.

[Kastchey]

Are you trying to log with a NickServ registered nickname, CaptainD?

[Durq]

I can't connect either. I'm getting the same error as CaptainD.

Edit: I'm in now.

[cat]

If you can't connect, please join via IRC client or watch the stream.

[KyriakosCH]

Well, I cannot connect. Getting "cannot join channel +1".

[Kastchey]

Sorry about that. One option is to try again later, it seems to be working for some people having similar issues. Another is to join via IRC and join the stream:

(I think vga also had issues joining)

If you had a profile created and the program just crashes with the above error now, try creating a new profile. Worked for me. 

[cat]

Please try again. We made some space for you.

[Cassiebsg]

Yes, even though the client can apparently handle 90, seems like the channel can't handle more then 45

We have closed those that had 2 connections to make some extra space.

[KyriakosCH]

Lol, I made it for the final seconds? 

Anyway, happy for Metaphobia and the rest of the winners!

[blur]

Thank you for presenting this awards ceremony and the client and the characters and the beautiful music and and all the games and all you people!

[CaptainD]

Thanks Cat, Snarky, Kasychey, AGA, anyone else who worked on the ceremony / client etc.  Amazing work by everyone!     Obviously congrats to everyone who won and who was nominated - truly some great games released last year.

[Privateer Puddin']

Thanks to everyone involved with the awards, those who voted for Feria, and the Discord crew who voice chatted! 

[Ponch]

I was supposed to present an award, but my internet went down sometime in the middle of the night. The service guy just left my apartment five minutes ago and I finally have access to the tubes again.

I'm incredibly sad that I missed this (I try to attend every year) and I'm especially disappointed because I wasn't able to present. Sorry guys. 

Congrats to the winners, though! And thanks to everyone working behind the scenes to put this together.
