Graal Academy Awards - '07
 

I think this happened in previous years, and we should do this again to support good workers and excellent projects:

Categories should be:

Best Playerworld Project
Best Level Artist
Best Coder
Best Graphics Designer
Most Favorite Graalian
Most Innovative Playerworld '07

Maybe there are more needed Categories I forgot, so please email me your categorie Ideas if you like.

Closing date for categories: Fr, 01 - 27 - 08, 3 pm gmt+1
Details for nominations will follow later :)

Please send founded suggestions to my email, as my graal pm box is already really full.

If anyone else wants to help me he is welcome,
iam just starting this up as noone else did so far :)

- Niklas

Why do we need to email you? :confused:

Well okay just post it here, but show that its no comment but a sent in so its clearly visible :)

Will genuinely be upset if I don't win Favourite Graalian.

Best Coder - Stefan
Best Playerworld - Oakdale City ;)

I think you should come up with some better categories.

Please read what I write, iam collecting categories at first :)
No nominations so far, nominations should really happen over pm or email so that it can be kept private.

Another thing:

Should Globals be excluded yes/no, otherwise all toplists will be lead by the same global staffs as always, aka Stefan, but I think we all seriously know by now that he is a genius ;) so I think the focus should be on players.

Globals not included.

And how are you supposed to decide who best coder is when most of their stuff is like top secret.

Well, then they must not be good if it has to be kept top secret. :/

I think helping others in the code section make up a great coder,
furthermore good work examples, and systems on PW which were definitly made by them.

Why thank you. I'd like to thank all of the little people ...

Best Animationist
:o
Why do people forget us so :frown:

Not a good idea.

Because, everyone will vote for themselves or there friend. Not even worth it.

Best Playerworld Project -Utopia! JK! Horrification
Best Level Artist-Wan
Best Coder-Dusty because he contributes so much lol
Best Graphics Designer-Tom (Especially now that he stuck with something)
Most Favorite Graalian-Crono (Who else would it be?)
Most Innovative Playerworld '07-Esteria (Wonderfully large GMAP and everything!)

What's innovative mean :p

In this context I think it means creative, or unique.

Regardless of your white tags, Utopia sucks.

Used to be betr when I was there.

Then Bloo etc took over.

I wouldn't say Esteria was really innovative much. I didn't really see anything there that I hadn't seen many times.

But, I guess while I'm here...
Best Playerworld Project - Maloria ;o (There really isn't anything else that's good and that has lasted...)
Best Level Arist - ...Wan?...I dunno.
Best Coder - Inverness
Best Graphics Artist - Tom
Most Favorite Graalian - Me? Not really.
Most Innovative Playerworld - Well, even though I think it's died out (not sure), I'd have to say Arca.

Not true at all.

Alot of these categories are preference of style....

Anyways....for fun

Best Playerworld Project - Zenkou :P Though its slow dev.
Best Level Arist - Wan i guess
Best Coder - Havent seen much of peoples work but PFA is real good.
Best Graphics Artist - PKT
Most Favorite Graalian - not sure
Most Innovative Playerworld - Probably Toms World Arca for now

Obviously stealing has nothing to do with it right?

I know you said no nominations yet, but this is more or less for fun:

Best Playerworld Project - Ol' West
Best Level Arist - ktbaloncesto
Best Coder - PFA
Best Graphics Artist - Alarid or Stephen <3
Most Favorite Graalian - ktbaloncesto
Most Innovative Playerworld - Ol' West

Can you please atleast READ what I write?

Seems like a long time for categorie selections to be chosen =/.

From my experiance, this is not true. Generally, the good ones do not want to show their work in the open because they dont want it stolen.

Are you in a hurry to know if you have won? :)

No, i fail every one of those categories.

I use to feel that way, but I've changed my way of thought.

I always kept everything I made to myself and the server I worked on. And then after I quit for the first time (lol), I decided to release stuff more. I've since released some stuff, though not as much as others. I plan to release some other stuff, but I'm too lazy to remove all the server-specific stuff. I may just post an old script backup of Sands of Glory or Utopia.

Best Playerworld Project - Arca
Best Level Arist - Racil
Best Coder - PFA
Best Graphics Artist - Tom
Most Favorite Graalian - Spryte
Most Innovative Playerworld - Arca

LOL?

he did some nice classic-styled levels which were something "new" somehow
all this uber-detailed **** was getting too much :P

This is true. While I do sometimes release utilities or older scripts I keep my newer more server-specific stuff to myself.

Anyhow for the best coder category, I would sure like to know what you people are basing your choice off of. I doubt many agree on what makes a person a good coder, or maybe they do. *shrug*

I myself, am lazy and have an antipathy for math, so I usually will ask other people for scripts before having to make my own, when they have lots of math that is. I suppose I should learn to use cos() and sin() sometime.

Best Playerworld Project - Graal2k1
Best Level Arist - Wan
Best Coder - Zero
Best Graphics Artist - Galdor (Well, concept artist? That counts, right?)
Most Favorite Graalian - Crono!

I think this thread gives people a good chance to suck up to their friends.
