we should definitely agree on which one to use, just to make it less confusing.

i have both aim and msn and i'm cool with either one, but i'm going to vote for aim.

ferretchucker 10-10-2007 06:53 AM

I don't usually use msn but it would be the fastest for this kind of thing.

stygianwitch 10-12-2007 09:01 AM

i have msn and yahoo but i prefer msn, doesn't really matter which of them i use though, they talk to one another so.....

tic 10-12-2007 09:23 AM

How about an executive decision - msn.

There that's sorted. ;)

ferretchucker 10-13-2007 12:30 PM

good idea. Fastest messanger in the west! And east!

Got 'em

According to the replies so far there is a tie for the Worst Horror Film Ever - ie everyone has put a different title - this will make the Judges decision very interesting.

Out of all the categories there's only been one real certainty* from the start;
he had to "win" some sort of accolade, even if it is for the biggest pile of crap to walk the earth.

* he's the ONLY nominee.

;)

Disease 10-16-2007 09:31 AM

I guess I should vote, when do we do the delibersting?

We need a set time.

tic 10-16-2007 10:10 AM

Im making up the rules as I go on, haven't you been paying attention? :p

The vote closes on midnight of the 20th GMT. I should have the full list of all nominees made up early 21st, which I'll post very soon after, then the judges can get stuck in. 21st Oct.

(Strictly speaking I could announce them now, (I would be very surprised if any new nominees make it, but who knows?)) but will wait until Saturday, so that anyone who has said they'll send in nominees has the option to do so.

re: the vote. I think I said on another post that the hints/info I'm giving, are soley on the total number of votes from all the forum. For the Judges, as far as they are concerned even if one nominee was voted 10 times, they will all start afresh.

I'm the only one who has the total figures and that's the way they'll stay. I may show them after the judges votes have been taken - just to see if the general consensus is the same as the the total forum.

Like I said, I'm making the rules up as I go, so we'll see.


After the Judges have voted., ONLY the Judges will know who's won the categories and then the order which they will take place, as the awards will not run in the same order as in the category list.

Then the list of presenters will be made, *together with who's doing what awards.

*Not all Judges wish to present an award.


Still haven't decided whether the categories should be split ie if you get the best horror, will you also get the worst horror? Or is every category separate, just going by that I can see some difficulties, it would mean you may have to wait to do another category, which is ok if they are close together, but what if one is at the beginning and the other is the last one? Will you still be available?

All the anwers please in a SAE to haven't got a clue c/o Horror.Com. ;)

*I mean "you" as whoever is reading this post.*

_____V_____ 10-16-2007 10:16 AM

I am excited about this, tic. I know how much work goes into one of these projects, and I must commend you on your job so far. Extremely well done!

And if all of us have agreed on MSN, here is mine - [email protected]

I can't wait till the 21st to deliberate on each category with the other judges. Sounds like its going to be real fun!!:D

Disease 10-16-2007 10:17 AM

Well, it would be good if we can have them run fairly smoothly and quickly so I'll be on for the entire presintation...

I guess I should set up msn.

Bub the Zombie 10-16-2007 10:19 AM

I sent my votes in earlier. Hope you got em.

tic 10-16-2007 10:23 AM

@ Disease: my fingers are crossed

@ Bud: Yes

*I am now conversant with both Excel and Access now, so at least something's good coming out of it (for me anyway)* ;)

jenna26 10-16-2007 10:52 AM

So since MSN was decided on, I will go ahead and put it out here: [email protected]

ferretchucker 10-16-2007 11:54 AM

Despare 10-16-2007 11:57 AM

shit! I've been invited to a party on the 27th. I think. It might be the 26th. I'll find out.

GorePhobia 10-16-2007 12:43 PM

Well I am a judge and again since I have a Mac I can not partake in voting I suppose because I can't get MSN.

Disease 10-16-2007 01:18 PM

And they say Macs are better.......

GorePhobia 10-16-2007 04:37 PM

If I had the updated version on Mac (OSX 10.5 I'd be able to get it but I have 10.2.8 and don't have the 150 bucks to upgrade.)

tic 10-17-2007 03:52 AM

All ready chaos and it hasn't even started yet! :eek:

@ The_real_Linda :The time will be 11.00 PM GMT - 6.00 EST

@ Ferret: So!!, It's my parents 45th Wedding Anniversary, don't you think I should be there! ;)

@Gore: If you don't have MSN then, not to worry, we can send someone to the moon*, so I think we can work something out .

*(possibly, unless it was faked ......... Why haven't we went there again, hmm did we go there in the first place?)

tic 10-17-2007 07:52 AM

Damn it, missed my 1000th post.

"Happy belated 1000th post to me,
Happy belated 1000th post to me,
Happy belated 1000th post, dear tic,
Happy belated 1000th post to me."

Took me long enough .......

GorePhobia 10-17-2007 09:47 AM

well hopefully we can work it out

ferretchucker 10-17-2007 11:06 AM

sory tic, I can't be there for the announcing, but if you want, I could speak to speak to you before the party about everything. We'll miss out the award I'm presenting 'til I'm back...or else.

Perhaps.

Talk about the rats leaving the sinking ship!!

At least the Titanic had a bit of a cruise. The HDC Oscar hasn't even been launched yet ............ and it's surrounded by icebergs.

:D *cough* I mean :(

Oh, you know what I mean ;)

*I'm sure it can be arranged*

Disease 10-17-2007 12:47 PM

You can't leave an award out untill after the ceremony............

ferretchucker 10-17-2007 12:53 PM

Can and will

Disease 10-17-2007 12:55 PM

Well it kind of defeats the purpose ferret, or maybe we should just do them randomly starting now, I'm sure you would be happy with anything... but I don't think you have the grasp of an awards ceremony...

ferretchucker 10-17-2007 01:19 PM

okay then lets go. That's exactly what I suggested! Lets do them right now. Go on tic. Start them before any deliberation has taken place. It's much better than my initial idea of having one last award on the same night as the others, just a little later. How could I have missed that idea?

Disease 10-17-2007 01:22 PM

so everyone has to wait around for you? pfft!

ferretchucker 10-17-2007 01:23 PM

yep. feel so sorry for you. Waiting maybe an hour before a final award is announced! How can you ever cope?

Disease 10-17-2007 01:25 PM

yeah, maybe i have other shit to do, ......


It's not as if your George Romero or something!

ferretchucker 10-17-2007 01:26 PM

other stuff/ internet forum award ceremony. Hmmmmmm. What is this other shit? If it's something like a funeral or work, there's no contest, if your soap is on, maybe you can afford to miss it.

Disease 10-17-2007 01:32 PM

It may be your funeral! I'll check the calendar.

chef_koo 10-17-2007 11:43 PM
