I recieved this email from Sourceforge. Well,
If you want to promote simutrans on sourceforge, you can click on the link there: http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/nominate/?project_name=simutrans&project_url=http://www.simutrans.com/ (http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/nominate/?project_name=simutrans&project_url=http://www.simutrans.com/)
(No idea, what will come out of this anyway ... )
What - of course we will win! :)
Go, Simutrans go! I recommend to announce this at language boards and blogs, to get more votes
I have it posted in german in the german forum. Good luck! Simutrans for president!!! ;D
Great idea, I've added a news banner for this.
It's the biggest banner ever!! :D would be possible to make it appear more often? only until Simutrans wins...
I created four more copies so that it is selected more often.
Ah, I didn't think of that, I was trying to find a way of having it appear more, good thinking :)
I've already voted... :-)
Vote too here!
Voted
Probably silly question but ...
Which "category" are you selecting?
* Best project
* Best Project for Gamers
* Best Visual Design (our artists offer this!)
or any other?
I voted "best project for gamers", since Simutrans is a game: it seems the most appropriate category. In "best project" and "best visual design", one is competing with a large range of non-game applications. Simutrans has the best chance of doing well if it is voted for in the games section.
I increased to 14 because we already had 14 news items, so it will be selected about half of the time for now :) Perhaps in a few days we can go back down to 4-6 or so :)
I also sent out a newsletter.
And I'm using the news item code as my signature.
For anyone else who wants to do so, the code is:

1) I voted, too.
2) This is about the nomination phase.
3) It is possible to nominate a project for several categories in a single vote. But it makes sense to always include the games category in the vote for ST.

My little gift...

Internet Explorer! I hate you so much. >:(
*cries*
Voted!
Perhaps you haven't realized about it but If you have more than one e-mail account, you can vote for Simutrans more than once..
P.S: I've voted three times for Simutrans... ::)
Cheater!
You can vote twice as unlogged and logged in 8)
In case nobody noticed, the nomination period ended (yesterday) and you can't vote any more. I left only one news item of these 14, since we don't want to forget totally, and according to timeline (https://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/) voting will continue in about three weeks - if we make it into finalists' round! We still have Isaac's signature as well :)
And I've just removed my signature, because it was only up for the nomination period :)
Since we made it into the last 10, please everybody vote for us again here: https://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/vote/. We have strong competition to beat!
All I get from that page is:
But also going up the URL tree, same thing, so perhaps something wrong on their end?
Addendum: Happens in Firefox and IE for me...
Post-Addendum: Waiting a few minutes helped. Perhaps their servers are getting busy from time to time :)
Hm, maybe with http (unsecure)?
Please note that I will remove my signature in a few days or so - certainly when voting ends. :)
Please go vote! :D :D
*changes sig*
Here's the latest news code (update to sig code for those that wish to use it):

That is rather excellent news! I have voted...
This hurts me but I did:

The picture still says "nominate", but we're already nominated, aren't we? The picture in Prissi's signature is the correct one for this stage, I think.

When I grabbed the image, it was the best one I could find at the time...
What are you all talking about?
http://www.simutrans.com/ ;D
I'm afraid the Click here to vote link is wrong... ::)
the right one is http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09 (http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09)
Ctrl+F5 is your friend.
You have less than a week to vote, so don't forget to support Simutrans.. ;D
Oh, I hope we win!
me too...(http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_pokal_gold.gif)
As Isaac announced here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=2817.msg28050;topicseen#msg28050), the winner of Best Project for Gamers was not Simutrans but ScummVM, an emulation engine for LucasArts Graphical Adventures. The complete list of winner is at Sourceforge (http://ccalive.com/).
At this point, we must congratulate ScummVM community and all we can say is we'll see in next year's awards.. :P
Yes, let us be more polite than the Rigs of Rods community (which I am also a part of, and most of whom were nice, but not all... heh) :-)
I wouldn't have minded if RoR or Simutrans had won, but I was pulling for Simutrans (although since it's about the size of the community and motivation of members, I though RoR had the better chance between we two...)
I think winner is ScummVM, isn't it ?
yes indeed, this xmbd thing won 2008 :P
Opss!! I must update myself... ::)
I'd say we did pretty well. I mean the concept of simutrans isn't new and the tile based system we use is also rather previous century. So we can be happy that we've become a finalist - there are only 85 finalists out of more than 4000 participants. So we've rather won than lost.
The detailed voting is out. We are fourth place, together with four others, and missed third by just a percent ...
http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/winners/
Very impressive :)
7th Palce. I think this is a very good place, for Simutrans.
Not really 7th; 4th together with number 4,5,6,7 all with 10%.
Prissi you have to go over the 10% with your mouse. Than you can see that simutrans have: 1052 votes and the other have a little bit more.
Category 9
* ScummVM: 2251
* ****aultCube: 1401
* Construct: 1224
* Rigs of Rods: 1084
* Mumble: 1078
* Nexuiz: 1064
* Simutrans: 1052
* Privateer Gemini Gold: 711
* DeSmuME: 679
* EQDKP Plus: 503
I think both arguments are valid - 4th-7th place are extremely close - sure, we're technically 7th, but essentially near 4th... :)
Either way, even being nominated was good going...
