Hey everyone! ![[Hyper]](graemlins/hyper.gif)
First of all, if you haven't voted yet, go do it. Now! I'll wait. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
EDIT: Please don't try to vote now. Voting is over. But it's okay because you already voted, right?
Second of all, the hard part is over! Now it's time to party! The 2012 Kerth Ceremony will be held on Saturday, April 14th. (I don't know what time, sorry.)
EDIT: The ceremony will be at 6pm EDT. See further down in this thread for a more comprehensive and extremely useful time explanation.
But we need your help! Besides attending and contributing to the general mayhem, we need category presenters. ![[Clap]](graemlins/clap.gif)
All of the categories are available, so please let me know which one you'd like in this thread or in an email/private message. The only exception would be Best New Author, which is reserved for last year's BNA (Mozartmaid and Lynn S.M.) if either/both of them want it.
Presenting a category is simple - give a small speech explaining the category, name the nominees, and announce the winner. You even get to hand out the trophy! Speeches can be serious or funny.
Also, we need some people for commercials/other in-between entertainment. Again, volunteer in this thread or to me by email/private message.
For easy reference, here are the categories. I'll update this thread as categories are claimed.
BEST SUPER SHORT - Anna B. the Greek
BEST SHORT
BEST MID-LENGTH
BEST WAFFY - Female Hawk
BEST COMEDY - Anna B. the Greek
BEST REVELATION - Darth Michael
BEST EPISODE ADAPTATION - Darth Michael
BEST DRAMA - Classicalla
BEST RELATIONSHIP
BEST ALTERNATE UNIVERSE/ELSEWORLDS/NEXT GENERATION - Classicalla
BEST ORIGINAL/SUPPORTING CHARACTER - IolantheAlias
BEST NEW AUTHOR - Mozartmaid and Lynn S.M.
BEST OVERALL
Thank you in advance for volunteering! It's no fun without you! ![[Smiley]](graemlins/1syellow1.gif)

Hi Amber,
MozartMaid and I have already been communicating behind the scenes about the BNA award.
Being able to pass the torch along is an honour I am very much looking forward to, and I am sure that MozartMaid feels the same way.
Joy,
Lynn

We have a tentative time of 6 pm. So get ready for fun and frolics. Is anybody pregnant? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
If you have never presented before, we encourage you to do so. It's fun and easy!

Actually, it is Daylight Savings Time in the US now.
So it is 6 p.m. EDT
3 p.m. PDT and the inbetweeners can figure it out.

Aww! I'd love to attend, but Sunday the 15th is the Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday, and this means that during its early hours (that the ceremony falls onto) I'll be at church first, and then at a family dinner which I can't avoid - and, given that I'll be coming from a week of fasting, I won't want to avoid either. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I'll keep an eye on this thread and pick out something to prepare for the ceremony, though. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I'd love to come, but my son's been invited to a birthday party at that time, my husband has to work, and I still haven't been able to take time away from writing my current story to figure out how to IRC ![[Dizzy]](graemlins/dizzy.gif) . (Is that even the correct initals?)
I would like to read a transcript of the ceremony, later, if possible. ![[Grovel]](graemlins/grovel.gif)
Thank you again to all the hard working people who have made my first year on the boards, such a wonderful and addictive <<cough>> entertaining experience, especially to all of you on the Kerth Committee. ![[Notworthy]](graemlins/notworthy.gif) Good luck to all the nominees and an early congrats to all the winners.
Maybe if I have time I'll write up and submit a possible commercial in advance (those were hilarious when I read them from the 2010 ceremony). If I'm allowed to do this, to whom should I send it?
EDIT: ooops! ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif) Sorry, you've already answered that question above. Never mind.

The Kerths are on #kerthchat and #kerthawards, I think, unless it has been changed this year. I'm not absolutely sure because for some reason my saved data for my favorite mirc channels has vanished. I'm sure all the info will be posted, especially for those who are new to the channels.
Most of the action takes place as text, but there are sound effects as well. Come by on Saturday and find out!

Wow! It's great to see how excited everyone is for the Kerths!
Here are the Instructions for IRC if you need some help. The channels will be the same - #kerthawards (where only presenters and K-Comm will be able to "talk") for the ceremony and #kerthchat for the fun (where everyone can talk)!
Lynn - It's great that you and Mozartmaid have already been getting ready for BNA! Thanks!
Morgana - Now that the time issue has been cleared up, hope you can make it!
Anna - While it's a bummer you can't make the ceremony, you have a good reason. If there's a category you'd like to present, you can just email or PM me your speech in advance. Or if you've got a commercial or something in mind, that would be great, too!
Deadly Chakram - See you there!
Virginia - Sorry you can't make it! But please do send a commercial my way if you get a chance.
Nan - See you Saturday!
Ken J - Hope you can make it!
Okay, I think that's everyone. If there are any other questions, please post them here. Oh, and we still need more presenters.

<<sigh>> I'm going to have to give in and join this, aren't I? I really can't afford another time-eater... but I definitely don't want to miss this! So I'm going to do this at some point today/tomorrow...
Just to clarify, what exactly is invovled with presenting and commercials? I'm hoping to attend, and depending on how ![[Shock]](graemlins/shocker.gif) my schedule this week gets, I may or may not be able to volunteer for something. But I would like some more details on that front <<cough, cough, NEWB>>

For presenting, you'd write a speech to present the nominees, receive a message with the winner from K-Comm (usually me), and then announce the winner. You can see some previous ceremony transcripts hereand here, to see what some of the other presenters have done.

24 weeks and counting. It was very unexpected (especially since my son just turned 11), but very welcome.

6 PM EDT - that's midnight for me. And, considering the ceremony usually takes a good 3 hours or so... sorry, I need to pass this year.
For those of you who need a pointer as to when it's 6 PM EDT: Look at the following dragon sprite. If it shows up in blue, it's between 6 PM and 5:59 AM.

Do we still need a password to join the #loisclark IRC? I'm hanging out in another empty room again or it still doesn't work. (This is what happened for the Tempus actor chat as well ![[Wallbash]](graemlins/wallbash.gif) and I refuse to pay money for a service/IRC if I can't get it to work once!)
EDIT: Mrs. Luthor explained to me that I don't have to pay for MIRC. Phew! Just hit continue until it bypasses that screen.

There's no password for #loisclark. Make sure that you're joining an undernet.org server. You can use us.undernet.org or eu.undernet.org and it will connect to a random undernet server. If you're not sure, try /msg BriGal Help! (my normal IRC nick). If it says nick doesn't exist, you're not on undernet. If it opens a chat and I don't respond, I'm probably just away from my keyboard for a bit.

Thanks for your help, Karen, Mrs. Luthor hunted me down and found me twiddling my thumbs and sinking in quicksand over on Quakenet. I don't understand stuff like servers (or that it meant different rooms), but I'm up and running now. ![[Sloppy]](graemlins/sloppy.gif) Mrs. Luthor!

Hey, congrats BJ! But I'm all for the new tradition of *no* labor during the ceremony!
I have contacted everyone who volunteered to present. Or, at least I'm pretty sure I did. If you volunteered and haven't heard from me, please let me know!
There are still some categories available, so let me know if you'd like to claim one! Otherwise, you'll be hearing a lot of me during the ceremony, and no one really wants that.

7 AM GMT (which would be 8 AM around where Michael and I live) would be adequate payback - but why would we want to get up that early on a Saturday morning? If you could just move the ceremony 2 or 3 hours forward, we'd be served quite well. (Staying up a little longer than midnight is no big deal, after all.)

Originally, the Kerth time was set to benefit US FoLCs, because they were in the majority.
However, over the years, things seem to have balanced out more.
Perhaps it's time to consider turn and turn about on an annual basis? Have a time to suit the US one year, then one to suit the bulk of the non-US FoLCs the next and alternate as you go?
Of course, you wouldn't be able to suit everyone outside the US, some are, unfortunately, always going to miss out. But something that doesn't always disadvantage those outside the US, but sometimes makes things just a little more even might be beneficial and help more people attend? If only half the time.
Just an idea. Off the top of my head. Might not even be logistically possible... But figured I'd toss it on out there anyway.

![[Peep]](graemlins/peepwall.gif) I figured since this year's was going to be in the middle of the night for our European friends, the same alternative, would be for next year's to be in the middle of the night for us here in the US. I was only joking. But 7pm GMT might work too (so it's not too late for those in Eastern Europe).
Of course, wouldn't it then be in the middle of the night for our Australian and Asian Pacific friends? LabRat's right, you can't save everybody!

That would work for me! I'm a night owl. The only hours that would be difficult for me are between 6am and 11 am... I would be open to a rotation of sorts, though.

I remember there being a ceremony sometime set in a very reasonable European time. Might have been for the Alt-Kerths, though.
In any case, rotation sounds fair. Maybe a poll with checkboxes where we all check the times that are convenient to us.

It might have been the alt-kerths. Most years I remember the Kerths being at 6pm EST, though I think one year it might have been at 2pm EST. That would have been many many moons ago, though.

ARGH!!!
I was able to connect to chatrooms earlier this week when I practiced, but now I am getting the following messages:
***
Creating connection "LynnSM"
Connecting to irc.undernet.org at port 6666 (SSL is OFF)
Connection established
Your host is trying to (re)connect too fast -- throttled
Disconnected

I haven't changed any settings since I last successfully connected.
Any suggestions?
I hope I won't miss the ceremony due to technical difficulties, but it looks like I might.
Thanks,

I'm not sure what any of that means, but I just sent a message to someone in the room that you were having troubles. Hopefully they know how to fix it?
Edit: Looks like someone's on the job already!

Oooh, or actually, try to connect to us.undernet.org instead of irc.undernet.org. It might give you better luck.

Thanks Karen and Mrs. Luthor.
I'm trying us.undernet.org now. I've turned off the automatic reconnect option. Now I am getting the following message:
Connection to IRC has failed: system error code 10060"
I'm about to Google that.
Thanks again,
Lynn
