2010 Award Ceremony and Banquet

I'm just going to say this cause it has been eating away at me...

Does anyone honestly care about this game at all? This is an awards banquet and should be a celebration of a year of hard work. A lot of people put loads of effort into this game both behind the scenes and in-game. A lot of people have worked hard to achieve these nominations from their peers and those whom the players of Knight Realms find to be the best will be honored. By complaining about whether or not there will be beer and alchohol and saying that it will highly influence the chance of your attendence cheapens this ceramony. I understand having a few beers with a group of friends at a meal, I do it all the time, but honestly if it is that big of a deal to you don't come. You coming and deciding to drink a lot only to become obnoxious and disrespectful to James and the players of Knight Realms who are being honored is wrong.

This is not directed at any one person and if you get pissed off by this I'm sorry... but I just feel it had to be said.

End soapbox

QFT, Amen.

This post is just silly.  There is nothing wrong with requesting the details of an event before committing to going.  Yes, this is an awards dinner, but let's be honest, to a lot of people (myself included) the awards are really secondary to the event itself.  Many people use the awards banquet as an excuse to hang out with their KR friends and family that they might only see at weekend events otherwise.  When you break it down, it's really just an expensive dinner party, and there's no restaurant in the world you'd shell out money to without knowing what you're getting.

All of this is a moot point, however, because James provided a clear and concise answer, which is all Tom was looking for.  And for the record, he's one of those people who is putting loads of effort into the game, so to say that he doesn't "care about this game at all" and his question "cheapens this ceremony" is ridiculous.  I just feel it had to be said.

Lets all relax now, no one intended on causing any Lama issues. Question was answered. Dave's opinion is noted. Not everyone was asking about it so no worries all.  Just lets all remember NOT to get to crazy with the drinking.

Woooooosawwwwwww

Thanks Jeff,

All I was trying to do was foster a little respect and class for the Awards Banquet. I for one was completly embarassed two years ago by the display of disrespect some players had for the ceremony because of their choices and actions. I was not attacking anyone specific (sorry if it seemed that way Tom) but I just felt like someone needed to stand up and say enough is enough.

As Master of Ceremonies for the Awards Banquet I look forward to seeing you all there and celebrating another successful years work.

So people will be allowed to stay overnight at the camp after the banquet?  Just wanted to make sure cause it is a 5 hour drive to get home from there, and wanted to try and find a hotel room ahead of time if we can't.

Yes. People are allowed to sleep at the camp, after the banquet.
