I thought of adding this to the other thread, but I figured this might get more eyes. I just wanted to let everyone know about a few cool things to get ready before the ceremony.
First off, for those that haven't attended before, or have forgotten since last year, the ceremony takes place in #kerthawards and #kerthchat on the Undernet.org server. Make sure you're connected to Undernet, or else you'll be the only one there!
With the Kerth ceremony, we have a whole bunch of sounds that help liven up the proceedings. Drumrolls, applause, even a few songs, heyba heyba. You can download the songs at
the Kerth website . Check your program's help file for where to put them and how to enable sound. (I'd give exact directions, but I need to install these particular programs myself so I can have an IRC program with sound).

Something new we're trying this year is actual award certificates during the ceremony! Just like any other award show, the winner will actually have a certificate once their name has been announced. This certificate is actually smaller and generic. The "official" certificates with the winners names on them will be sent out later.
Now, I figure there are two ways to do this:
- Sending the certificate through IRC. You will need to make sure that you have DCC enabled in your IRC program. Again, check the program's help files to find out how to enable it. Feel free to hop into #loisclark on Undernet to test it out. I'll be testing my computer as well to make sure everything is set up properly.
- Email. The winners can message me their email address, and I will promptly send the certificate to their inbox.
I know the directions are kind of vague, but I haven't actually used mIRC or circle consistently in a few years, and I need to re-install them myself. If there any questions, feel free to ask.
Hope to see you all there!
