The Year of BrikWars Award Show

I'm very far behind on all kinds of things lately. So I'm forced to cheat here and pretty much regurgitate my post from NELUG.



Last Thursday saw the first ever, Year of BrikWars Award Show, where we celebrated the previous year of carnage and mayhem with our favorite gaming system.

Uno's in Burlington was kind enough to allow use of their cafe front-end, a somewhat enclosed area, with lots of glass for onlookers to gawk at the dorks in a fishbowl. Kudos to Uno's for taking a chance that our very presence might drive customers away.

The actual Show began with a introduction video, that gave a short visual synopsis of the games played in 2005 making up the Year of BrikWars:

YOB 2005 Intro (~12.5 MB. Thanks to ziggy for hosting)

Sulliphyllis also whipped up a fantastic slideshow-o-rama visual presentation for the actual awards creating that sense of drama and tension seen at any awards ceremony that uses a laptop projector and a 2x4 sheet of foamcore screen.

The individual slide can be seen here: YOB Awards Presentation

Sulliphyllis deserves a big special thank you for his MCing ability. His presentation of the awards puts to shame any hopes I could have for public speaking that do not involve wetting myself in front of an audience.

The actual 2005 Brikkies were awarded to:

Top Score, B.A.R.: DaveE
Esprit De Corps(e): JorgeF
Master Munchkin: Sulliphyllis
Best MOC: DaveE
BrikWars MVP: Evil Wayne

Congratulations to all the winners!

Furthermore, we have video of the event that will be editied together in the near future (but, please, don't hold your breath).

We look forward to next year and the 2006 Year of BrikWars Award Show!
