I'll be presenting for Best NPC and Best Writing. Here's an URL with all you need to know:

Stay tuned for the awards ceremony, which will be held Sunday, March 2nd, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern (6:30 p.m. GMT) on the ifMUD

I have little else to add other than "trying to write dialogue for Yehoweh Porn without every other word being some derivative of 'fuck' is challenging, but not quite as rewarding as it might at first seem."

NPC stands for "non-player character"

Seeing as the second is a sunday I'll probably show up to see the ceremonies. I can just lurk and know basically nothing about all of the entries hold PK girl, right?

Yes.... yes you can! You all can!

Do you know how to get to the mud, Worm?

Worm2 · Post by **Worm2** » Fri Feb 28, 2003 2:38 pm

Yea, i've been mudding. I can use the basic telnet client right? I might even use hyper terminal.

I, and no-one else, has any idea if you can telnet in to the Mud. I guess so, Worm.

I say this because you are my SIDEKICK. You are my FRIEND.

Yeah, I'm sorry I missed it. Stayed up crazy late beating 'Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb.' I'll be sure to read the logs to check out the Robb/Worm content.

I will, of course, be checking the logs; sorry I missed yet another year, m'man; has it really been that long? I was working... Which is a shame cos you're 7 hours behind.

Nice speech, man. Good stuff. I really wanted you to go on with more 'worst of' riffs, though. Maybe if I had written a game last year, you would have had another joke there.

Sorry I got caught up painting and play AVP.

We are all terrible people. We should've been there for you, m'man: We are the denizens of this place, narrmean?

We'll be there when you win the 2003 awards and when you present for 2004.

Unless we're busy.

Just slogged through the awards transcript. Darn good job, Jonsey.

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Wed Mar 05, 2003 10:27 pm

Thanks, man. I really got a few butterflies in the stomach before I started the first round, as I feared someone in attendence would say, "What on God's Green Earth is this piece of crap even talking about???!" but it looks like everything turned out OK.

The way they had us do it, you really are "backstage" before you come out, so I missed a few minutes worth of what everybody said before inky announced me. So if somebody had said, "I'LL KILL THAT GUY!!" before I typed in "go west," I wouldn't have seen it until the transcript.

But it's a pretty good-humored, if immature bunch. In order to get that kind of hostile response you have to be Bobcat_Goldthwait.
