There's a couple of problems with your suggestion:

1.The final award - I already have someone in mind for that and it wasn't you.

2.How long would "later" be, I know the real oscars goes on all night , but this is a virtual awards ceremony and shouldn't take that long - if it starts at 11:00, it should be finished by 12 or 01:00 at the latest. This will also mean that every presenter needs to be ready for that space of time. Bearing that in mind, please remember that the Saturday before Halloween is, I'm assuming quite a busy period, *with parties, last minute shopping/preparations for Halloween night. Not everybody will be able or even want to wait that long.
Some may not be available to attend in the first place.

* Im refering to our American friends here - time difference

3. If you look at the list of judges, I did say that the names could change, re: presenters. You will also read, that I did say not all members of the Judging party wish to present. Until the actual voting takes place AND the list of presenters is finalised, things will remain the same as they are.

4. I appreciate your enthusiasm, about taking part, but a line has to be drawn somewhere, ie. The awards will be on Saturday, the 27th. Not sooner nor later. If you wish to run this event by all means do so, saves me the bother.





RE Number 2 & 3
It would be helpful if the members who wish to present an award/or are available to do so, could let me and the other members of the presentation party know please - in this thread if you wish. So we'll all know what the score is. thnx

woohoo! The party finishes at 10:30pm. I should be back at my house for eleven. great. I should make it.

So we are a "happy ferret" then. Good.

Yippy Kai Ay!

That's another time in my life where I can stare at our friend Eliza.

"Our Friend"?

She's my "escort" for the Oscars. I'm on a promise, the dance is just a taster, for whats to follow.

;)

this is my escort

Seriously, she's a mega girl- she's got through cancer and therefore values life, she's sexy, she seems like a really nice woman and if I got bored, there's always danni

Into (pardon the expression) older girls eh?. She's the same age as me, old enough to be your mother, which ........... actually makes me ....... old enough to be your father :eek: :eek: :eek:

Age don't mean anything when it's kylie.

What will the time be in ET, CT and PT?

GMT or Greenwich Mean Time (UK) - 11:00pm/23:00

EST or Eastern Standard Time (- 5 UK) - 6:00pm/18:00

CST or Central Standard Time (- 6 UK) - 5:00pm/17:00

PST or Pacific Standard Time (- 8 UK) - 3:00pm/15:00

wow. You're never vague are you Tic.

He did ask.

I didn't say he didn't

Hopefully I'll be able to be on at 6PM. I should be. and tic did you figure out what I will do since I don't have MSN?

erh ... You have AIM don't you? I've got that as well, that maybe a possible solution. Can't see why both can't be used. I can always pass on your vote/queries to those who only have MSN.

Whatever happens everyone who wishes to vote, SHALL have a vote

so sayeth me.

And so, Tic wrote down 10 commandments in pixels and sent them via e-mail to disease, who carried his laptop downstairs, went on webcam and declared earth follow these rules, but they did not, and so disease got so angry, he smashed his laptop.

Ha ha ha ha :D

And that's not being sarcastic

Shame. If disease did break his laptop, he wouldn't post on here anymore. I can dream though.

Looks like the big fight is still on then.

What do prefer:

1) A hardcore match
2) A hell in the cell match
3) A table match
4) All of the above (over a crocodile, infested, pool of dead cows)

I don't like fights. They're wrong.

Uh oh...looks like I wont be able to make it, tic. I leave for work in a few minutes from now, and I dont return till 9 PM my time, which is PST/PDT.

I will be there to judge this though...but I will miss the award show it seems.:(

That sucks V, oh well....

I will cast my votes tomorrow, let it be know, so don't close the voting till you recieve them, it may even be later tonight... I'll see....

Sorry to here that ....... can't be helped.

Seems this is one of the hazards of a global web site or awards ceremony

@ Disease there's a few hours left, its not until tomorrow night - the close of votes.

sucks V can't make it

Just what I was thinking :(

Oh well, looks like one of the big categories is now well and truly ownerless, ie no presenter.

I thought of ____V____ simply because of all the work he's put in, to other games/events.

So a revised presenter list is definitely on the cards.

If only the timing could be re-scheduled to the morning shift...i.e., morning for us, day/noon time for you folks in the UK.

It could fit the bill for everybody.

I've certainly no problem with a change in time, I'll try and get in touch with everyone and see if its ok with them.

The only problem I can see is it would mean being early for the people in the US, the time difference. If it was put on earlier say 12 noon or 1pm GMT, that would make it 7:00 - 8 am est. If people can work with this re-scheduled time then its OK with me.

How about 2-3 PM GMT in the afternoon...that would be 9-10 AM EST, 6-7 AM PST?

I dunno, tic...we would have to accomodate the majority here. Dont shift the timings just for me.

See what the others have to say about this.

I'll be here whenever.

So, yeh, I should be there, but I might be a little weensy bit late

I got MSN working on my comp so here is my email addy to add to chat with me [email protected]

mine's [email protected]

To both Gore and Fortunato:

When I've woken up, I'll stick 'em both on the contacts list.

awesome

can't wait for the oscars!

I have to go out for a while, but will be back later, with a couple of announcements/suggestions regarding the time of the oscars, which may ensure everybody who wants to take part can:

One is pretty obvious if you think about it, while the other may work depending on peoples boredom threshold

;)

To all who sent messages - got them thnx.

Im dealing with them now.

There's still a couple of hours to go till the voting closes, so I'll keep it open until then.

From the replies to the categories, there is a good mix of nominees, apart from a pretty obvious one, which I think we all know who has won (or should that be lost) the award, but there's always a chance of a shock!


To all who have replied, once again Thanx.

Are you watching the rugby. Pretty dissapointing.

Missed it, but was expecting the worst anyway. At least they where there.

Could have been worse; but all is not lost; Rangers beat Celtic. hah, hah, hah, hah :D :D

;)

The Vote is now officially . . . . . Closed

Going to Sleep now. It's Midnight, overhere (UK)


If I ever wake up, I'll put the Nominees up tomorrow.

night all.

great. It's late nights for me all week coz of half term!
