Oddworld Awards: You must read this!

***Alcar*** · #1 11-23-2001, 02:33 AM

I am hosting the Oddworld Awards at Oddworld Universe (www.oddworlduniverse.cjb.net).

It is all the fans that will get to vote for the oddworld websites that should receive the different awards.

Speaking of awards, there are 8 and they are the:

~Creativity Award
~Originality And Imaginative Award
~Design And Layout Award
~Most Updated Award
~Topsite Voting Award
~Oddest Award
~Information Award
~Graphics And Pictures Award

If you have an oddworld website and like me to place it in the voting websites, then email me or post it here.

It will be hosted on Oddchat where the winners will be announced on there. The date and time is not confirmed yet but it is definately going to be in December, but before christmas.

I am asking That Abe Babe or Sydney tell me when a good date could be, and if there is anything about this that you might want changed.

ODDBODD · #2 11-23-2001, 08:19 AM

the only ones that oddbodd.net would come close to winning is

originality
oddest
informative

i say informative because if you look you will see that i have put stacks of effort into it

any ways the rest goes to oddworldian

Oddsville · #3 11-23-2001, 11:21 AM

I guess I'll put Oddsville down for the awards.

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #4 11-23-2001, 01:10 PM

I'm still working on my site, can it be added for the third annual oddworld awards?

are you spamming loving???
Wath do you mean???

***Still hoping to have the news award***

ODDBODD · #8 11-24-2001, 08:48 AM

if xavier doesn't get news award this thing is rigged

***Alcar*** · #9 11-25-2001, 04:02 AM

It's great you feel that it is rigged, if you can see up the top where my first post is then you'll see that it is the FANS that get to vote.

It means that you people will get to vote.

So far there are only 3 sites logged in:

Oddbodd
Oddsville
Oddworld Maniac

We need more, Sydney, Abe Babe do you want to be in the running?

***Cloverfield*** · #10 11-25-2001, 04:10 AM

Sure... put Oddworld-Web in... maybe this year I'll actually be able to win an award. *hands out bribes to potential voters*

Oddworld-Web would probably be appropriate for all categories except for the Oddest Award (that's gotta go to a way out site like OddBodd's). And the Topsites I think is already decided as that's based on who is leading the topsites list (currently Oddworldian by miles... I never go good in that one).

Abe Babe...

***Alcar*** · #11 11-25-2001, 04:15 AM

Abe Babe, since your online at the moment quickly go to Oddchat, so we can talk about when i should hold the actual awards.

Thanks

ODDBODD · #12 11-25-2001, 04:23 AM

I don't belive it

some one voted for my site...

Alcar, you should do some votes on your site...

Sydney · #15 11-25-2001, 03:44 PM

Sure, I'll submit Oddworldian, the address is www.oddworldian.net.

Why don't you just set up some polls on a website rather than using OddChat? Polls have IP checking and cookies to ensure a person can only vote once per poll. Plus the duration of people voting will span for the howver long you wish rather than just one OddChat session, to which not many will be able to attend.

***Xavier*** · #16 11-25-2001, 03:48 PM

I think Polls are a very good idee, who put it on hist site? Alcar,Sydney or Abe Babe?

Sydney · #17 11-25-2001, 03:53 PM

I'd suggest Alcar make a page of polls, which each participating site can link to.

***Alcar*** · #18 11-25-2001, 05:19 PM

Yes thats right, thats what i'm doing. I'm using www.votations.com (thanks to Abe Babe for this site) to set up a survey.

I'm doing a survey because it can have multiple questions and answers. And people will not have to go back and vote for 8 different sites, but choose each one at once.

The voting will be done on my site but during the time that voting is on i will be on Oddchat. At the end of the voting time, the winners will be announced through Oddchat and i will ALSO place the winners on my site if Oddchat doesn't work for some people. You might have to check the news and main page for the winners. At the moment i don't know how long voting should be held for but i am thinking 3-4 hours, please tell me if this is too long, or too short.

Of course if any participating site would like to link to the voting pages address then do so. You'll have more chance of winning an award.

I will email all the different site owners who have submitted their website into the awards, to tell them the exact site name, so you can link directly to it.

The date and time has not been announced, but be assured that i have my calendar in front of me and checking for a suitable day to hold it on.

All i know is that it will be in late December, but it will be BEFORE Christmas. And again all participating sites will get an email reguarding the date and time.

So far these are the submitted sites:

Oddworld Universe
Oddworld Web
Oddworldian
Oddbodd
Oddsville
Oddworld News

We do need more websites to submit, maybe some of the larger sites (Oddworld Web and Oddworldian, if you don't mind you could please advertise, saying something like: if you have an oddworld related site you should join up for the Oddworld Awards where you could win awards for your site).

The 8 awards are still the same, i'm not adding anymore either.

Also i do not know the MAIN email address that most of the submitted sites use, so could you post them here. So far i only know:

Oddworld Web: abebabe@oddworld.au.com
Oddworldian: sydney@oddworldian.net

If these are wrong please tell me.

Thanks alot.

***Xavier*** · #19 11-25-2001, 05:33 PM

for Oddworld News: zulag@caramail.com (me, because Psykobee have a lot ok work)

***Alcar*** · #20 11-25-2001, 11:46 PM

The date has been set:

it is the 9th December at 11am (australian time)

for americans it should be 4pm, 8th november, but i could be wrong.

Go to www.timezoneconverter.com to find ut when it is.

***Xavier*** · #21 11-26-2001, 02:17 PM

I don't understand... why do you need a time converter??? you don't make polls ?

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #22 11-26-2001, 06:02 PM

Why don't you post this on your site sydman? Besides, non-forum people should know about it, and you need info on what to submit, and when it ends and begins, and the rules.

***Xavier*** · #23 11-26-2001, 06:13 PM

I think Pinky is right... It would be better on Oddworldian... or... No! A big link from Oddworldian to Oddworld Universe, and A lot of polls on Oddworld Universe.

Sydney · #24 11-26-2001, 07:45 PM

Errmm, no. It's being handled fine. Of course each site will post a link to the polls when Alcar has made them ready.

***Alcar*** · #25 11-26-2001, 11:49 PM

*Alcar is sad that people want it placed on another site*

This is annoying that people would like it held on another site. And you are complaining about it too!

God, i am so sorry that i wanted to be kind and hold the awards. The awards will still go ahead on the date of: 9th November at 11am (australian time).

Go to www.timezoneconverter.com for other countries time.

Will still need more people to add their sites to the list, i only have 6!

If some of the bigger sites (Oddworld Web, Oddworldian) could please post a note or something like that on your site.

Having only 6 sites is not worth doing the whole thing.

So far it is still the same sites:

Oddworld Universe
Oddworld Web
Oddworldian
Oddbodd
Oddsville
Oddworld News

Like i said there are only 6!

Remember to be on Oddchat from the time that the polls are open. The actual polls will be open for 3 and 1/2 hours. And people will only get to vote once.

If their are any problems then post it here or at my email: muxamar@hotmail.com

The awards will go ahead no matter what:

Resistance is futile, the odd will get you in the end!

***Alcar*** · #26 11-26-2001, 11:54 PM

Sorry, i forgot to add that the participating sites should link to: www.geocities.com/oddworlduniverse/mundacheevaults_oddworldawards.html

The page is not up at the moment but it will be on the day that the polls are on.

Remember that could the larger sites please post news about it, i do need more sites in the running.

Thanks

***Cloverfield*** · #27 11-27-2001, 12:11 AM

I don't understand that either Alcar... you hosting it on Oddworld Universe is fine. Plus, usually awards are held by a smaller site... it doesn't usually make sence for one of the main sites on the web to hold awards IMO.

Once you have the page prepared, I'll add it on my front page, with a button to go to vote.

Abe Babe...

***Alcar*** · #28 11-27-2001, 05:48 AM

Thanks Abe Babe, *Feels good again*

The page is up but the actual voting polls are not there yet, of course.

By the way why is oddchat not working?

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #29 11-27-2001, 11:26 PM

Well, how are you going to allow other people know? You have to spread the word.

***Alcar*** · #30 11-28-2001, 03:07 AM

It's now okay, Pink.

If you go to the other Oddworld Awards topic you'll see that i have drastically changed the factors of the awards.

Now hopefully if sydney or abe babe would post news about it on their site then more outsider people should submit their oddworld sites.
