Nominate GPL for a BAFTA award!!

The subject line should read "nominate your favourite sim" but I've
recently become ***ed to GPL,  and my mind is quite closed as a
result.

BAFTA awards are the UK equivalent of the Oscars.  This year,  for the
first time,  they've included a catagory for "Interactive
Entertainment".

Here's the decription for the PC Games catagory

Sounds like GPL to me!  Nominating / Eurogising GPL would be a nice way
to say thanks for a great game,  and for their ongoing support (albeit
unofficial). Visit http://www.racesimcentral.net/

GPL was released in 1998, and is probably not eligible for those awards.
Like a 1998 movie isn't eligible for this year's Oscar.  Especially that
there is tons of other titles that could be nominated.

Release date is irrelevant - the terms explicitly allow for back
titles.  I would suggest that while GPL is not new,  it is certainly
current.

However,  on closer reading of the entry form,  it is apparent that it
cannot be nominated by anyone other than the authors.

I doubt they'll bother.  Pity,  because I haven't ever come across a
more worthy game.

Well, from what I've read, David Kaemmer is VERY proud of GPL.  Someone, please
let him and his associates at Papyrus know about this so he can get this thing
nominated!  :)
