Alright, I will.

I think I've said enough...so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Re: Congrats
I'm disappointed that Dopefission didn't win anything, it was more deserving than the Prank Call in my opinion... but I'm quite pleased about everything else! Thanks for your votes, everyone, and congratulations to all who won!

i'd have to agree. I no longer have a copy of the prank call because I originally downloaded it in Germany.

I think I did. As soon as Xtraverse began posting them so I wouldn't have to worry about voting later on. 
Fare thee well, Flaose! (Finally, I've spelt it correctly  )

Re: Congrats
Congrats to all! It's sad that we have to see you leave Flaose, but I hope this is a worthy parting gift. Thanks for being a dedicated Keen fan.
I have to admit that the Dopefission movie was significantly more deserving than the prank call, but it's hard to compete with Shadowlands. Way to go Ilsoap!

Re: Congrats
I was a bit disappointed DOTA-TAMB didn't win "Best Fan-game," (     ) but I'm planning more games, and there's always next year. 
Congrats to everyone who won!

Re: No trophies?...
Congratchymalations to the winners, and those nominated.
And now it is time for me to hand my crown of Keenest Person of the Year over to Flaose...
Oh would ya look at that, it's stuck to my head... heh heh
No, don't try ot pull it off- OW!
Oh whaddya know, it does come off... heh hehh hehhhoookay, take it. You deserve it. ^_^
But why do you leave us? Have you turned Eleventy-One?
Nice to see Shadowlands 2 picking up best animation.
I'm really REALLY stoked to see that my Prank Call won something. I will now make another prank call, to the same Mr Blaze, perhaps to apologise and let him know that he is the co-author of the "Really Keen Stuff" Award for 2003. I'm sure he'll be overjoyed to hear that.

Can somebody please organise links to all the winning entries?

I'd strongly doubt that. I reckon he'd already forgot about that prank call because he most likely didn't know what the hell you were talking about!

Yes, and do add more levels.

I wouldn't be surprised. And besides, it's a prank. And a sequel would be quite funny.

re: rorie
Well, this thread is really a finalization of the Keen Awards for 2003--a new level pack doesn't belong here. You should put the announcement in "Unofficial Keen Games" or "Other Keen Stuff" if you want feedback. This thread is really to give props and recognition to the people who did Keen stuff last year! :-)

Cool!
Hey - thanks for the award! That's awesome - my hard work actually meant something to someone!
I'm planning on updating it as well. I'm going to be taking advantage of the fact that Flash supports 32 bit color, and I'm going to keep all the original levels, but update the tiles .. just for fun.. because I've done the updates with a few tiles.. and it looks SUPER sweet.
I'm also going to be releasing a set of utilities so people can convert their own CK1 levels, and then have them playable on the web. It's just a matter of finding the time.
In case anyone is into Flash games programming, or wants to be, search for my name at amazon.com; I've written a few Flash games books (newest one coming out next month) that might help anyone do this kind of thing with Flash.
Thanks!
