Actually, to be fair to Snarky, every post that Darth has made in this thread makes himself look a numpty. He may well be a nice guy but just not very good at expressing his political opinion.

Once upon a time, Ug and Og, two cavemen, are getting somewhat bored of their game "Rock, Rock, Rock" as it always seems to end in a draw. If only someone could invent paper and scissors, the game would take on a whole new lease of life!

Thanks to IndieBoy and Dualnames for their significant efforts!

I really think we should pitch together and buy agswiki.com or .org or something...

Here's my entry:

Rock, Rock, Rock

Many thanks to all who helped, especially to Indie who has failed his university course in order to do my graphics.

I noticed that in Lucasarts mode, the SpeechView gets used when talking even if you've done a LockView. Is that right? Has it always been that way?

every presidential candidate campaigns on all these lofty goals and ambitions ...

Even Republicans? I thought they campaigned on greed and lining their own pockets, which certainly the last 3 Republicans presidents achieved.

Don't forget that "Obama/Biden presidency landslide" is an anagram of "Osama Bin Laden led presidency bid"

at the end of the day every Mittens event is effectively one big pub

So that means you'll go and stand outside to smoke? 

At last, you'll have the time you need to make Chris Quest! And make AGS3D!

Seriously, though, if you want any CV advice, or just to increase your professional job hunting network, then give me a shout!

Fliiping IE. The listbox doesnt go away when everything is deselected becuase my coding was lazy... but IE6 seems to to respect the "display:none" style on <OPTION> tags

Grr. Googling indicates that solutions are very convoluted. We might need to use checkboxes instead.

OK, quick mock-up #2: http://ssh.me.uk/ags_nom_mockup2.html

This time you choose the games you have played in the checkboxes at the top, and this enables them to be selected in the listbox below. Ctrl-click for multiple nominations.

Good points, folks. OK, so seems like there's two better ideas:

1. Choose the games you have played and then these are the only ones available to choose from

2. Have drop-down lists

Of course, we could do both. There's also the possibility of using "multiple select" list box instead of multiple dropdowns, or even checkboxes in option #2

As for mis-spellings, in previous years I had to deal with misspellings in EVERY category. Not to mention completely invalid entries.

Everybody keeps bringing up stuff I already said in my blog ...

However, winning an AGS Award isn't enough for Wikipedia as evidenced in the discussion here and here.

I think I'd better knock up a full-size version so that we can see if the problems people are worried about occur. I'd like to know, too:

1) Does it still look OK if you are colour blind?
2) I've tried it in FF3, IE6 and Chrome. Let me know if any more obscure browsers make it look odd.

So far there are 12 demo games, roughly 10 non-adventures and the rest are 50/50 short/long. So given 100-odd games in 10 months, we should expect 120-130 in 12 months. Which makes about 50 max rows in one table. I think that will be OK.

Hopefully we can order the rows Randomly for each voter so no game has an advantage by being first or last or in the middle.

How are the games determined which are available for nomination and thus will have their own row on this page?

*sigh* read the thread...

Games which appear in this page will be eligible. i.e. any game submitted to the AGS Games DB between 1 Jan 2008 and 31 Dec 2008.

I'd appreciate comment on this mockup of a nominations page. Please comment on the page practicality, etc. rather than "I thought you were going to do category X", and so on, since ITS A MOCKUP.

I specifically hate all those high-res ones. They suck.

I hate those high-res ones. They really suck.

Some of these are serious:

Trouble managing lots of audio files? You could try the media manager editor plugin (LINK)

There's lots of information in the AGS Wiki (LINK) about scripting and AGS topic in general
