I would just like to thank my agent, Harrison, Steven George....

Seriously though. Thanks to everyone who voted for me in this catergory. I'm extrememly honoured that I'm thought of as friendly. :D

Congratulations to everyone else who won.

Hey, Fisk. You won <big>Ravener of the Year,</big>
<big>Biggest indy fan/collector/expert/Most Indy-like</big> and <big>Role Model</big>. Well done!

[bob]

I am pleased with my award and i would like to thank everyone who voted for me wow i am philosophical and metaphysical never seen myself in that way before :) but i guess it is what happens when you write long enough posts that people dont understand cos of bad grammer!

Kevin any chance of any stats about the awards?

i.e. for starts how many voted, and maybe how many votes the top two for each catogory received....
Thats as long as anybody doesnt mind of course

[00Kevin]

about 20 voted, and you bob, won by a landslide

[tall square]

Check the new sig! :D

I just wanted to say thanks to you, 00Kevin, for doing this whole thing. It was cool, and I'm happy with who won the awards. Congratulations to everyone!

*starts preparing for the 2004 Raven Awards*

[00Kevin]

hahaha, nice

actually, we are preparing for the 2004 Awards, by putting in motion the events of this upcoming year

[VP]

Congrats Fisk!

<small>BTW, did you know that "fisk" is "fish" in Swedish?</small>

[VP]

Yes, I did know "Fisk" is the word for "Fish" in your region.



Actually, here in Finland "fish" is "kala".

But back on topic.

[Webley]

Thanks for the Award. Old Web will be hear for the longhall.
My hope for the new year is to get to know you all better.

Your pal Webley

so wait....a mother fish would be.....kala ma :O oh no! bloody evil european fish!

[Webley]

At 2004 Raven Awards there should be an award for the biggest drooler.

[00Kevin]

Well, as the year nears it's end in november, I'll be willing to listen to suggestions for any new categories. Unless the droolers have a MAJOR inpact and unless they have several MAJOR threads, I doubt that such an award will be created.

I do however want to point out something, the awards were kinda arranged in 3 categories:

-individual (single member gets an award)
-Raven related (groups, threads, quotes)
-MISC awards

the MISC awards will probubly be chaning every year, we will probubly have a 'Best New indy product of the year', but the others will be different, what fun woudl it be if we had 'best film' 'best series' and 'best website' every year?

next year will be more categories, those 3 may be the only ones to change.

but this discussion will be saved for november

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D:D:D

[Webley]

Was thare a 2002 Raven Awards?

[Finn]

Nope, there wasn't. I guess Kev wasn't old enough to drink and get stoned back then. :p

[Johan]

sorry who judges these things again? Are we being anti-democratic

[Aaron H]

Every member of the Raven who wants to vote, votes by submitting their vote to the topic starter and anyone who so desires to collect votes.
This is the 2003 Awards, but the 2004 Awards will be done this Dec.

[Kate]

That will be cool. I want an award! :P

[Strider]

I'll vote for yeh! :)

[Johan]

I don't know guy's....I don't think Indy would accept rewards...is this really right?

[VP]

Trust me. ;)

[intergamer]

I think the Raven Awards are silly...summing up the year is better. There's only one winner in each category so the same elite group will win every year.

That in mind, vote for me for Most Random Ravener! Flibbertigibbet!

[Finn]

Unless it's ruled up so that if you win once, you can't be nominated again (in the same category).

And yeah, it is silly. Same people always get the votes (or the same core group), let out the Newbie of the Year who's always prolly a new face. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if someone voted for Kev in that category too.)

[Indy's_main_man]

00kevin can't post here....but it seems like I can

just checking

[Johan]

that's pretty funny

[Finn]

No poo, Sherlock. But I still can do nothing but assure my innocence.

[Indyologist]

Soooo, when are the votes for the next Raven Awards going to be cast?

I have a dusty, stuffed raven that can be given to the winner as a trophy, BTW. I bear no responsibility if it pecks out your eyeballs and eats them, however.

[VP]

When the year ends.

[Johan]

when is that again?

[VP]

About 4 months.

[blur]

So when does the 2004 awards start? :)

[Webley]

About 3 1/2 months.

[Indyologist]

I think the Child Free thread I started should win "Most Controversial Thread of the Year." Or how about, "Thread With the Most Personal Bashing On it?" (-- don't worry, I'm OVER it!) Or "Most Unfairly Closed Thread"? (Don't know about that one) ;)

That is the first thread I would like to see on the peoples forum that just opened and in fact opened due to that thread. I thought about it a lot prior to that thread but that one closing chinched it.

[gladhatter]

Ren, I thought you was comming over to run the IJ show ... where you been.

[gladhatter]

Well sure is a beautiful Child.

[Johan]

is there any place we can access pictures elsewhere?
Then again if I showed my wife the pictures she might want one too.

[Johan]

Great Pictures! You ALMOST make me want to have one sooner...Better not say that out loud...

[gladhatter]

Ren send me any pix you want to post . I will just shoot them up for you.

[gladhatter]

I understand Ren .. Gilles you mean old man you !!!! :)

[VP]

Back on topic.

[Gilles V]

I just moved this thread from the Announcements forum to here so 00Kevin can participate in the discussion again.

For some reason he was unable to post anything in the Announcements forum and I couldn't find the problem. So I moved his thread to here.

[Chattar Lal]

..

[VP]

He was popular 10 months ago.

[Webley]

Seeing that there was no Raven Awards for 2004 can I carry on the title of Best Newbie in to this new year?

[Magda]

I think someone should start an '04 awards thread.
