Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Ron, I agree just splitting games into free and commercial doesn't quite fit the bill here. I can see where games like Sarah and Montezuma's Return could compete or be nominated under the same catagory because they both fit into a sort of action genre. However, Rail Racer is a great game, but it is a completely different style of game. Rail Racer vs Sarah doesn't quite match because it is that apple and oranges thing again.

I am sure you are right that many more people will vote than are responding to this thread, especially once we publisize it a bit. Right now I propose we list all games released in 2007 so folks can nominate them for voting in two categories to keep things simple: 1. Commercial games including paid betas 2. free games and betas So basically we would end up with a commercial and non commercial game of the year.

Montezuma's Return is definitely commercial, and to play the full Beta someone needs an end user license. SoundRTS on the other hand is totally free so there are no end user restrictions on playing the whole game. Though, you definitely have a good point that the free games and commercial games should be split up. Free games tend to have more end users than commercial games. As for list feedback and comments that is typical for the list. It has just been my personal experience people here like to do things anonymously rather than speak up and be a more active member such as giving feedback and chat. I've trolled through the membership lists before and I have seen people in there who have never once asked one question or sent one responce to the list. All I can guess is they are the quiet type who just want to read, but not reply or be more active in decision making.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Dark, I have to agree with your points. One of the reasons we are doing this at all is because the other voting for 2007 was not very well publisized and games like Sarah should have been nominated or at least listed and was not. My own games like STFC 1.2 and Montezuma's Return were not even recognised as 2007 releases which was odd, or the people who setup the other voting were misinformed. Either way we need to publisize this one, and at least make a master list of games for people choose from. Especially, brand new companies like 7-128 should get a chanse to get their name out there, and be recognised as a new kid on the block. Weather they win an award or not they need to be listed and given public credit for their line of new products. Dark wrote: Hi che. I agree about nominations for specific catagories, however I would suggest first setting up a page listing all the games released in 2007, perhaps with links where appropriate.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Che, Well, I don't see a problem with nominating specific games from 2007, but there are two things we need to do before that point. One, we need to come up with a group of catagories to asign games to. Do to the size of our gaming comunity the triditional catagories like sports, card games, racing, etc doesn't work. For example, if we had an FPS catagory the only possible nomination for that catagory from last year would be Sarah. So the catagories might have to be more generic like best sound design, best replay value, etc... Two, we need to come up with a set of guide lines that states which games can apply for nomination. We need to think about if only new games can qualify or if updated games qualify as well. For example, Jim Kitchen's baseball game is not new, but he released version for in September of 2007 which might allow it to qualify for some 2007 award. We also need to stipulate if Beta and test releases qualify or if the awards are only for new and stable releases. If Betas are out that would disqualify games like SoundRTS and Montezuma's Return which are playable, but not yet at 1.0 status. Any thoughts suggestions or ideas on this?

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Cara, Hmmm... Some of the more generic catagories like new and remake certainly would work. Games like Rail Racer and Sarah could go into the new catagory where games like BopIt might go into remake. However, other catagories like Side-Scroller is too narrow for our small comunity of games. As far as I know Montezuma's Return is the only side-scroller that was being produced and released in 2007. There is however an open catagory for strategy. STFC 1.2 and SoundRTS were both released last year which both could be nominated and compete with each other for the best strategy game of the year.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Che, Well, in the case of Betas there are some that are free and some that are commercial. Montezuma's Return is definitely commercial, and to play the full Beta someone needs an end user license. SoundRTS on the other hand is totally free so there are no end user restrictions on playing the whole game. Though, you definitely have a good point that the free games and commercial games should be split up. Free games tend to have more end users than commercial games. As for list feedback and comments that is typical for the list. It has just been my personal experience people here like to do things anonymously rather than speak up and be a more active member such as giving feedback and chat. I've trolled through the membership lists before and I have seen people in there who have never once asked one question or sent one responce to the list. All I can guess is they are the quiet type who just want to read, but not reply or be more active in decision making. Che wrote: Well, perhaps two main categories would work best, so we don't get into fragmenting everything down into sub groups too much given the limited amount of games we have available. Perhaps folks could nominate games for two categories, commercial games and beta/free games together, or perhaps one category for all three. This way, games which cost money and therefore have a much smaller user base won't be up against free games and betas that have over a thousand players. Beyond that, I'm not sure we want the complication of sub categories such as sports and strategy games at least for this initial run, especially given the rather tepid response from members about the idea so far.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Well I think that only full games should be in the voting, not sure about betas, sertainly public betas maybe, but nothing else though. At 04:13 a.m. 30/01/2008, you wrote: Hi Cara, Hmmm... Some of the more generic catagories like new and remake certainly would work. Games like Rail Racer and Sarah could go into the new catagory where games like BopIt might go into remake. However, other catagories like Side-Scroller is too narrow for our small comunity of games. As far as I know Montezuma's Return is the only side-scroller that was being produced and released in 2007. There is however an open catagory for strategy. STFC 1.2 and SoundRTS were both released last year which both could be nominated and compete with each other for the best strategy game of the year.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Yes, I should have made that distinction, thanks for pointing that out. I am sure you are right that many more people will vote than are responding to this thread, especially once we publisize it a bit. Right now I propose we list all games released in 2007 so folks can nominate them for voting in two categories to keep things simple: 1. Commercial games including paid betas 2. free games and betas So basically we would end up with a commercial and non commercial game of the year. There just seems to be too few game releases of different categories to have seperate votes for sports, strategy etc. Thoughts? - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year Hi Che, Well, in the case of Betas there are some that are free and some that are commercial.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Thomas, Just my opinion, but I think there are some things the membership of the list should discuss regarding how we are going to go about this before we start organizing behind the scenes. Refer to my previous message to Dark for my thoughts on nominating games. We could put a list on the web site of every game released last year from which people can nominate if we go that route. Also, perhaps there should be some discussion about various categories for games. Just my 2 cents worth.

Any thoughts out there? - Original Message - From: Dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 3:22 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year Hi Che. Certainly I like the idea of voting, especially if we can include all appropriate games, publicize things properly and get a result that actually is meaningful. As to whether the vote is run from your site using your scripts or somewhere else though, - to be honest whatever is easiest for Tom, raul, ron and anyone else involved would be fine with me, sinse afterall it's them who are organizing the mechanics of the thing. Your scripts would (judging from the voting I've seen for the various rr tracks), certainly do the job I think, but the decision isn't really up to me, and I certainly don't have the technical know how for it anyway. Appologies for lack of anything constructive here. Beware the Grue!

As I stated before, they are ready to go, all I have to do is set up the voting, no need for you guys to worry with the programming or installation of scripts, we can just run the voting from the blindAdrenaline site and save everyone a lot of time and trouble. I've had various votes for things on the site and it all works fine. Let me know what ya think folks . So far not many people have shown much interest in voting anyway, so it may be a moot point. Or maybe people are just being shy... - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 8:58 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] 2007 Accessible game of the year Hi Che, Quote I replied to you a day or two ago saying we could use the voting scripts on blind adrenaline for the voting, no need for you guys to go through the trouble of programming anything, plus the scripts are built to minimize multiple votes from the same person. If you replied to the offer, I missed it. End quote Yes, Raul and I are interested in your scripts. If you could zip them up and send them to Raul or I we would appreciate it. I am running behind on email, and have several replies I need to get out today including Monte orders that came in this weekend. Just send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will take care of them. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
