Origins Awards - Vote Indie!

[btrc]

[Cross-posted to Endeavor]
Which is to say, vote for me, since I think I'm the only indie designer on the list this year...;) And, there are of course other deserving titles that need your professional expertise to judge and vote on...

Anyways, the instructions and Origins ballot are below. I figure if I can't due a little shameless shilling for Infinite Armies on this
**  include „PENDING MEMBER‰ if you have just joined or rejoined the academy.  (If you enter a
vote and are not a listed member the vote may be deleted when we screen for members.  So please
enter PENDING MEMBER so it can filed separately and counted when AAGAD eligibility is confirmed.
We‚ll have a fast turn around on that.)

ORIGINS AWARDS STANDARDS Section IV: Determining the Award Winners
Academy Voting:  The award winners for each college are determined by the Academy members who
declared their expertise in that specific college on their membership applications. The Academy
experts score their college nominees from 1 (least deserving) to 5 (most deserving). All scores
from all members are totaled, and the nominees are given a final ranking order. The products with
the highest vote totals for each award win the designated Origins Award.

I was monkeying with the BTRC page and busted the demo links for Infinite Armies. I'm in the process of fixing those, so should be fixed within the hour if you were trying to download a file and couldn't.

Hi there,

I'm all in favor of voting for Infinite Armies because I think it's a great game, and celebrating its nomination in this forum is also cool.

But I think that's enough basic information for this thread. Any discussion is welcome, though.

Michael Miller just gave me a call from the Origins main hall to let me know I won one of the Vanguard Awards for Infinite Armies. Of course, four of the five nominees in my category also won, which dilutes things a little, but hey, if they/me all got enough votes to be deemed worthy, I gots no problem with that. Yippie!
