 		ILB Nominated for Webby Award. Go Vote Now!
[Crossposted from ARGN]

The biggest Alternate Reality Game of the past year, "I Love Bees," continues to gain major recognition with its just-announced nomination for a Webby Award! Time magazine and the New York Times call the Webby's "the Academy Awards of the Internet."

"I Love Bees" is eligible to win two different awards in the "Games-related" category — the official games-related award, and the "People's Voice" award… which YOU can vote for!

Obviously, we here at ARGN would love to see ILB win this, but to be honest, we'd actually like to see it win the People's Voice award even more than the official award. We think it'd be really great to show the world that the ARG community's voice is loud and strong and bigger and badder than anyone else's… of course, we already know that because we heard you all singing over those payphones!! So let's show the rest of the web what we can do.

Voting in the 2005 People's Voice Awards runs TODAY through April 29. VOTE NOW! Here's how:

* Go to http://pv.webbyawards.com/ and click on the "Register now" button.

* To ensure integrity of the vote, all voters must register. The process takes about 30 seconds (fill out the form). Then you'll receive a voting link and password via email.

Note: Voters can choose to vote in just one, or some of, or all of the categories. It's fine, for instance, to just vote in the "Games-related" category, which is the "I Love Bees" category.

Extra fun: There is an "instant poll" in voting that gives you the current standings for each site after you vote. We really need to get OUR votes in ASAP so that ILB looks like a contender, and so that other voters are more likely to spread the word. (Right now, ilovebees is in 3rd place out of 5… how long will it take ILB players to push it to #1? Hmmm… let's find out!)

So what are you waiting for? Go vote!

 		I voted! I did have to fudge things, though, because even though I'm not in the US it insisted that I give a ZIP code. So I had to "virtually" move to Beverly Hills for the purposes of that survey...

-- Steve saw ILB in first place in the instant poll afterwards. w00t!

 		Still in the lead when I voted, but you never know, the Minnish Cap might catch up!

I am well-aware that this is a slam-dunk win for ILB. Sometimes people just need some motivation.

A bit of hectic news for those of you not following the live tallies on the Webby ballot page:

Gamespot has launched a major voting campaign, and its readers are really kicking our butt. The current live tally is 40% Gamespot and 25% I Love Bees. Ack!! Boo!! Crying or Very sad

The official Webby Award statement about the People's Voice Award is this: Winning it is a sign of a community's strength and dedication. And I know there isn't any online community stronger or more dedicated than the ARG community.

Winning this Webby would show the world that ARGs are here to stay and the ARG community is serious about supporting the genre. It would let everyone know that ARGs have a real audience and help make sure that future games on the scale of I Love Bees can be made.

So let's keep passing on the good news about the nomination and making sure that ARGers *everywhere*, and all the friends of ARGers everywhere, vote. The People's Voice award is an important opportunity for the ARG world to make a statement.

Here's that voter registration link to pass on to players, friends and family... http://pv.webbyawards.com/register.html

I know we can win! Let's do it!!
