mistaken Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 [COLOR="White"]You shall ignore this post. :D I am using it as a ship yard to launch/build my version of the Dairy of the year awards. comments are welcomed and appreciated as this is the one lay out I am least confident of. the third row is option two, do the colors work? or does the top of the table look better?[/COLOR] nothing here to see move along :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Cowboy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Looks really good mistaken. I like the look of the Best New Diary Match being in the center with second and third to the left and right respectively. If you kept that format and made it uniform I think it would look really smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistaken Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 for now there are two versions on this page, one is the original with the Red Marble and does not work in IE. the other one is just a Red background color and appears to work with IE.

Dragonmack Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I can see the boxes and text in post 50 clearly and it looks good. The brick background in post 52 still obscures the text boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistaken Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 [QUOTE=Hyde Hill;487855]50 works now 52 is still bad[/QUOTE] yes, 52 will be deleted here at some point and be replaced with the code from 50 (returning that post to it's pristine condition). then at some point i will finish it, and the whole kit and kaboodle will move to post #2. and 52 will either get deleted or have some pithy comment put in to it.

keefmoon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I like the first post, it looks superb and so easy to see who has been awarded what. Great stuff. Cheers for putting all this together mistaken, it definitely is worthwhile and useful to have. And it looks uber cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaken Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Post 2 now has the completed 2007 Annual awards posted up. give me a week or 2 and i will finish up and post the 2006 awards as well, they are going to take substantial more work as they do not already have the links provided. (even primes broken links only took a few seconds each to fix, not a minute or two each of looking up the thread. if you find any typos or formatting errors just let me know and i shall get them corrected. hope you all enjoy the hard work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaken Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 the 2006 awards are now in a table, in post 52. I will begin to try and track down links and authors, so that the 2006 awards are as complete as the 2007 awards, and in a similar lay out. do you think the 2006 awards deserve their own color? i have a nice black marble back ground, that would set the 06 awards table apart for the 07 awards once they are moved into the same post. thanks for you patience as i finish this up.

mistaken Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Another thing I think might be cool to add to this little project. It would take some work, both on my part and on the part of a couple or more volunteers. a list of (not really a ranking but with some loose order) of good reference diarys. kinda of in the vein of the Diary writers tips. categories of Diary's, so a list of Babes of Sin City, MoSC, TCW, USPW... so you could say hey i want to run an new MAW game, oh here is some great Ideas, i never though of MAW like that. as well as WCW, WWE... for the real world you would want if available the MOD used, the time period, ect. Just a thought, wondering if anyone would be interested 1) such a list 2) helping create it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Terrible idea - my rotten early efforts hoisted up for all to see? Terrible idea... :p The big problem I see with this is the difficulty in keeping it updated. Diaries come and go - you have about six pages of diaries with <10 posts in them, just in this section. There could be scope for including diaries once they get past a certain point (30 posts? 50 posts?), and of course something like John Awesome Does BOSC or whatever it's called wouldn't be automatically banned - it was awesome, after all - just not automaically included. Of course, some companies are oversubscribed (I think there's been about 5 MAW diaries just since '08 launched) so you might end up with 20 TCW diaries (and as for the WWE ones...). And of course there are the original feds like Scapino's MWA. One category? Individual sections? Even so, it's an interesting idea, and could certainly help people - the only problem might be people unconsciously drawing on their favourite diaries and you end up with a clone - or a greatest hits diary... But that could happen anyway (and I'm hardly one to speak about, uh, [I]homaging[/I] certain writers works...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you might need 12 shows & quality to make it in a WWE or WCW, you might need only one if you are Panix sci-fi diary. all something The workers would have to decide before hand to provide a unified frame work to such a project. definitely some great points of consideration raise!
