Title: Help me win some awards
Post by: Cramulus on February 12, 2020, 03:13:53 PM
Hey cats. So as most of you know, I work on this super wacky project whose name I don't want to write here, because I don't want this forum coming up when you google it. So I'm going to say the first word is Goat. The second word is Larp.

In the UK, there's a larp conference that has an award show. The owners told me that my game has a really good shot if we get a bunch of nominations in the "best international larp" and "best small larp" categories. (as they don't get a ton of submissions there)

Can you please go to this link, click on the form, and then nominate the game I wrote above? You don't have to fill in any comments, but it's also ok to make some shit up as long as it sounds like you might have been there.

Voting closes at 11pm uk time (6pm eastern time) tonight, so please do it!

Nominated: Goatse

Reason
"He burst into my room, threw me from the window and said if I don't nominate this LARP he would eat my pets. The fall would have killed me if I hadn't rolled a critical success so I think he means business"

if you get an actual like award statue or something I demand you carve off little pieces of it to send to the people who voted for GL

Except me, of course.

I will do this from my home box.

Reason given:  Positively surreal.  A great deal of fun.

Democracy doesn't work if you don't use your votes.

I'll keep this in mind, and never bother taking anything you say as anything more than random Yatto malice.

frontside, you might have missed the part where Cram actually wanted to win an award in a certain category, and specifically made sure not to leave a trail from there to here so the votes would look legit.

You carpet bombing all categories with his entry is an immediate red flag that something is suspicious. 

So yeah, smooth move, dick.

That shit was intentional.  It was a Yatto move.

Note taken, it was a mistake. I apologize and hope the damage caused stays minimal.

eh it's not a big deal, I don't think you're the first person to go gung ho about it

I know the guys that run the awards, and they don't take themselves very seriously at all -- I think they'll be amused

Sorry I didn't make it in time to vote, but I'm sure I had a wonderful time.

Okay, so I lost, BUT

We were the running joke of the entire awards show. A bunch of people nominated us for every single category, and they thought that was hysterical. When they announced the "short list" for each category, they also read the GL submissions. We got tons of applause and laughter throughout the ceremony.

You can see the full livestream here:

at about 38 minutes, they figured out how to share the Rejection Speech I recorded for them.  :p

Glad t worked out.

I mean after all that exposure winning would have been a bit cheesy.
