Congratulations, Jake!
Let me add my congratulations Jake. And good luck :)
*golf clap*
edit: Hmm... site appears to be down
Whats a Diana Jones Award? Never heard of it before. :)
two letters short of an INdiana Jones award?
The Diana Jones Award is the insustry-only award for "excellence" in the gaming community. Ron Edwards won it last year.
I really wanted a nomination, I confess. I'm stoked.
Jake
So, who is this Diana Jones, then? :)
(and if anyone says, "Its the person that invented the Diana Jones Award" I WILL smack ya! :) )
(pinching bridge of nose, with eyes closed)
Morfedel, the Diana Jones website (http://www.dianajonesaward.com/index.html) has all manner of information designed to answer questions just like yours.
Best,
Ron
A little patience and kindness costs very little, Ron. So, granted, I didn't explore the web site, but I felt no need; I thought I would discuss it here, instead, with my friends.
My mistake.
Quote from: MorfedelI thought I would discuss it here, instead, with my friends.
Only problem with that is that there's not much to say about the award (nothing at all that isn't on the tiny site). That is, it's quite mysterious in that basically we're only aware of four of the panel members, and the criteria are unknown - presumably just the panel's whim, though who can say.
Why is it the source of such esteem? Well, the panel members that are known are well respected, and their decisions seem to be based solely on non-"Industry" standards. Hence their special appreciation here on The Forge. That and Ron's win last year.
Jake well deserves the nomination. Congratulations.
Mike
Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with extending a little patience.
And I agree, congrats, Jake.
Allow me to rescind my earlier reaction, partially. Granted, I could have and should have tried the web site earlier. I didn't. I still dont think I deserved the condescending reaction I received either, however.
Congratulations, Jake! You're up against some very fierce competition, there. A good company to be in.

Morf-
That was Ron's sense of humor. No offense intended, I'm sure.
the Rest-
That is fierce competition. I'm just happy to be named among them.
Jake
Oh ok. maybe i'm just oversensitive? :/
anyway, gratz dude!
Should we start a letter writing campaign agitiating for a TRoS win?
Congrats Jake! Good luck.
Yet another reason to be sad that I'm missing GenCon this year. :(

Who to? With only four "outed" members of the panel? Of which one has already stated he's sitting it out?
I'm not saying no, but I'd hate to get out my green crayon and scrawl all over my carboard and have nowhere to send it....
...sorry, that was letters of complaint to my local TV station, wasn't it.
Hey! That's fucking cool.
Congrats, my friend. You deserve it.
Brian.
Congrats and good luck Jake!!!
