Sourceforge.net Community Choice Awards 2009

Voted. Of course Nexuiz is the best project for gamers. I mean, this is so obvious this category shouldn't even be voteable because the result is as plain as day in beforehand. But maybe we also win other categories?

[shaggy]

Voted and set as #nexuiz.au topic... then someone took it out

[Alien]

I doubt because wesnoth in general has favorable opinion in all reviews for being not another shooter despite that all these shooters are different.

[Flying Steel]

Voted.

[morfar]

Voting is over.

And Nexuiz is one of the finalist
I just need to answer some questions via email.

Suggestions are welcome, as my fantasy is a bit poor: http://dev.alientrap.org/wiki/nexuiz/SFcca
I need suggestions for point 1,2 & 3 if you have any.

I don't know how important that is though. As long as I remember to reply before the 17th.

"Our project is a tool that helps you wash your
car." is good

1) Our project is a free, open source action-oriented first person shooter.

2) We should win because we are the most advanced free open source shooter in the areas of graphics engine features, gameplay balance and userbase.

3) Our best looking screenshot with the Nexuiz logo watermarked visibly either in the center or off in one corner of said screenshot. Needs to show off advanced lighting features of engine, as well the action-ness of Nexuiz (characters shooting, jumping and exploding preferably).

[ai]

Maybe Fisumes screens he made could be used. I believe he had the logo watermarked as well.

[halogene]

I got a suggestion for the second one:

2) We should win because Nexuiz impressively shows how the creativity of an active community can successfully be merged into a state-of-the-art project by people who commit their spare time just because they love the project.

(If I am making false assumptions about anyones motivations please feel free to ignore me or to hit me on the head with an electro combo next time you meet me online).

Wouldn't that fit to what Sourcefourge actually wants to reward?

Edit: You can also add "And because Nexuiz is the best project for gamers." Didn't count the characters, though

Another Edit: maybe we should choose a screenshot that shows off nice textures and effects, but preferrably no gibs - these could easily bring up negative emotions. Non-gamers are often a bit sensitive to such things...

[Alien]

Giving that Nexuiz presents itself as OLD-SCHOOL fast paced SHOOTER, gibs shouldn't be removed from screenshots. Gibs are in Doom, gibs are in Quake, I'm not even talking about UT, where you can behead enemies. Gibs are part of Nexuiz and hiding gibs would be as disguising one's true self.
