The Official 2013 Forumshire Awards

yepp it was great

And great work on the animation of course, Petty.   

Good to see you got some use out of the song.   

even though u won a lot of them- Norc

Now, I hope thats not cries of 'fix!'    (I did do well in the CC awards admittedly, but I think I only got 2 in the forum section, for some reason I never get most respected!! And its not like I didnt beat the buckie and that crusty stuff out of my kilt this year   )

Besides you picked up 3 all in.

"not sure if I was in the final video, that might cost someone some buckie.."- Tin

 There is a technical reason for that do to with the resolution of your old avatar, which I am hoping will save me from a beheading!  

Good to see you got some use out of the song- Blue

Yes, thanks Blue, to those who didnt recognise Blue's dulcets tones and guitar skills Blue provided the song on the opening video.   

Thanks to everyone, glad it turned out to be worth the delays, just a shame Odo's seedcake and jelly problems choose now to flair back up again  

yeah  true i got 3

Great video, the Shire looks great!
I really do defy the laws of physics when I walk/glide, take that you smug snow walking Elves!
 

{{{lol at the omnious Dark Planet wizzing about. }}}

Oh, I should have given you a better version really Petty. It's a bit sluggish and the quality isn't all that great. But, no problem.  

And the final video.   I only listened to it the first time. It's great.   And the ending.   

i haven't been able to watch the videos yet because my mom keeps hushing me..

I would have liked to have added more avatars and done more animation Blue, but it was incredibly time consuming as I had to learn how to do most of it as I went along.
Believe it or not there are over 100 individual components just in that final street scene  

"i haven't been able to watch the videos yet because my mom keeps hushing me.."

Then get some bloody headphones girl!!   (and give your mum a buckie)

i will

Oh, they were great.  

Strangely, I found the ending eerily reminiscent of something.  

Which part? A Dark Planet Day story perhaps?

Oh, the very end. Of the ending.

Right, glad I asked.

Now, raise your buckie, get up on the tables and get ready for Orwell to play us out with his Ode to Forumshire-

Haha. Well, it wasn't meant to be cryptic. I was just being fascitious.

Saying; "Yes, I've been on the end of that."

I've been to Hell and Verdens Ende ("The End of the World"), neither did quite live up to the hype in my opinion.

Anyway, I am off to bed. I am sure our web personas will be partying til the Dark Planet rises in the morning.

You can always find out what you got up to in this Sundays NotP Awards Special   

Thanks so much for another great job hosting (and animating), Petty!  And a big thank you to Blue and Orwell for the songs.  I admit I teared up a bit during the closing song. And thanks a bunch to everyone who voted for me.  I'm really honored that you guys gave me the Fellowship Award, especially.  This place means a lot to me on so many levels and I'm really happy that it means something to so many other people as well.

Also, big congratulations to Ringo for taking home a well-deserved Best Male victory! One of the great wrongs of past Award years has been righted. And congrats to everyone else too; thanks for all you do to contribute.

Now I just have to start posting in the Creative Corner again so I can be eligible there next year.

It's funny you should mention that...

I thought it sounded excellent. I didn't realize it was you, but I loved the song and was wondering if I'd be able to find a full version on YouTube somewhere.

Thanks everyone, a wonderful surprise after a long day!  

There was really tough competition in this category, and the other nominees were just as deserving.

But next year I won't be eligible for this award. I'll have to find some other way to stand out.

Great job Petty for putting this all together (loved the videos, and Orwell's song put a big grin on my face, Blue's musical ability is very impressive would like to hear more in the future ). A shame Orwell and the Banks' clan could not be with us.

Congrats to all the winners!  

(It's a bloody shame I didn't have time to dress up, should have thought of that before hand. )

Just posting here to say I look forward to reading through this thread tomorrow - I scrolled down to the bottom of the page with my eyes shut so as to avoid spoilers. Can't wait
