Tremulous wins in ModDB contest!

[OverFlow]

Hooray, after a fair amount of confusion, it turns out we won the player's choice standalone game of the year!  As well as honorable mentions in the genre category action and the editor's choice standalone game of the year.  And they gave us some nice pictures to use too... so I thought I'd put them here:

     1st Place: Player's Choice Standalone Game of the Year


     Honorable Mention: Genre Award: Action


     Honorable Mention: Editor's Choice Standalone Game of the Year


I think I made some promises involving things that might happen if we happened to win... but hopefully everyone forgot about that! HAHaha...

I think it was a new map, a new human player model,and animated 1st person weapons, and a full forced prodding of Timbo about 1.2.  Funny thing is that with all the ruckus involving the contest, the team has been actually working fairly hard on all these things, as you may have noticed!

Congrats

Cant seem to find any players choice standalone award tho  

I have never played Darsana, but it doesnt look like more than half a dozen people ever have, so why it seems a little unfair that it managed to beat tremulous.

Link?

[jal]

I'm not sure if he's kidding or not. But may be the awful site navigation too. I just don't find it at all. All I find is Darsana being the winner in editor's choice.

[maci]

try to browse that site in Lynx.
guess why i asked for a link

[Xonya]

Great

Congratulations!

Gratz guys.

Dear god that site needs a proper designer, the link for the Editor's choice stuff is at the very bottom of the last page, not even mentioned on the homepage or site search. No sign of the proper Standalone page.

[Lava Croft]

I hereby want to congratulate TremDev with their victory, after all these years of people smirking in their general direction.

[vcxzet]

I still cant find player's choice of standalone game

[tuple]

They didn't "officially" announce it.

http://forum.moddb.com/thread/19832/#417521

It IS quite confusing and I wish they would have been clearer.  Listing editors choice standalone, but not players choice standalone is bound to create confusion.

I chalk it up to growing pains for moddb.  Sh*t happens, what can you do.

Congrats to the developers though, GREAT JOB!

Yep.

I tried it once, so that means there are at most 11 other players left.

It just seems like a totally bizarre choice, and it runs poorly too.  Thanks Darkplaces!

If anyone somehow manages to find another player, tell us how gameplay is, will you?

[Kobrakai]

Congrats! And good job to everybody who voted  

This thread confused me for a bit until I found the link to the forums explaining that Tremulous did win, they just messed up the template for announcing the winners. Tremulous did, in fact, win players choice for stanealone MOTY.

So, who gets the Alienware compy?

[hodge]

Thanks for the link, this just proves that the players know better then the modDB editors. I wanted to beat the editors silly after they selected an incomplete game like Darsana as the Standalone game of the year. http://features.moddb.com/288/mods-of-2006-editors-choice/?fpage=3

[AKAnotu]

[n00b pl0x]

TREM IS THE WINNED WOO

[jal]

So... is Trem getting the 1000$ and Warsow the 500$?

[janev]

woot! tremdevs for president!

[polish farmer boy]

game download is about 60 mb
i advise everyone to download and play
if u are extreme cyber-masochist...
IMHO that game is joke
and fact that it won its not even normal joke
its english sens of humor

[Glunnator]

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! TREM GETS WHAT IT DESERVES! YEEEHAA!

... :oops: I got carried away....


The downside is that now we won, we're gonna get a noob-overflow  

*Edited thw woohoo! so that the exclamationmarks don't flow over the screen :>   *

So... is Trem getting the 1000$ and Warsow the 500$?

Correct.  We also get an Alienware computer.

So, who gets the Alienware compy?

We still need to discuss it further, but for the most part me.  I'll be taking it apart and sending some pieces to other devs, and moving the entire thing into my nice pretty case.  I'm not particularly fond of the alienware cases. >.>

What does that mean? t.t

There was a cash prize?

Don't worry Glunnator, we'll still think of you as the ultimate noob!

[Qwerty_]

I am confused which award did tremulous win (Wanna be correct before I post it on my blog thats all) I cant seem to see anything on the links that were pasted above or on the Moddb site either.

Would someone beable to paste the correct links here please.

[Henners]

The awards listed above were won by tremulous (i.e. in the first post of the thread)

The moddb guys are a bit useless and didnt change the awards template for the webpage from the previous years when the standalone mod of the year award didnt exist, and so it was omitted from the award post. However they have confirmed tremulous won it in response to an open letter of complain posted by overflow.

[adalator]

congatulations.        :wink:  :wink:  

[Fluxflashor]

 I'm not particularly fond of the alienware cases.

Gratz on the win btw, sry for such a late post >_>

so you selling the case?

[mana]

And hey, trem seems to be the only game among the winners that you can play on linux! The community here is so nice because of all the linux geeks i think, inlcuding me .. so thats a "must be the winner" plus.

thanks for all the great work )

[Fluxflashor]

Maybe it would be better to ask if you still have the case first. I have PayPal BTW...
