On February 28, 2004, at 1:30 P.M. EST (6:30 P.M. GMT), the XYZZY Awards Ceremony was held at ifMUD. Below is the transcript of the event, including side-comments that those in attendance made on the #peanut-gallery channel. Should you not wish to see those comments, an expurgated version is also available.

 

Massive Auditorium
The ballroom chosen for the 2003 XYZZY Awards has been decorated in luxurious style: gold leaf marks the wainscoting below the paintings of famous IF scenes, while the ceiling has a elaborate mural depicting the History of the Implementors. Elegantly-clad waiters glide here and there serving canapes off silver platters, but all eyes eventually return to the stage up front and its velvet curtain. The exit, should you wish to take a stroll in the garden, lies to the west.
