Before we move to inviting nominations for the individuals can we settle on the Award titles ?
All with Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.
Starting with Scripters do we want just an all embracing ' Ace Scripter' or 'Ace Scripter SP' and 'Ace Scripter MP' ?
I will post-up a poll on this topic.

It would be great if we had a medal or insignia for Award holders to optionaly display. Has anyone got the skills
to prepare and propose a design for general approval ?

I might be able to piece some images together in photo shop would it be for a avatar or signature?

[darksythe]

Heres an example of current work in progress

[Bellman]

That would be great.

I guess most people may prefer to use an 'insignia' as part of their signature where it could be an option.
The other thing is that some people may get more than one award and might like to flag them up.

I would tend to go with different levels of awards for the different catagories.
Some people have contributed some really great scenarios, and others have helped completely revamp the sim.
I would consider a catagory for guides, tips and tactics, and items like sonar profiles, TA droop at various speeds, anyway I believe you get my drift. Items like that are great and require much time by the people who develop them and certainly that not as exciting as develop a really good scenario or campaign.
I think of Subgrup, TLAM, oh really so many who have added tons to both DW and SC/SCXIIc, also the work of Luftwolf and Amizaur should be reconized in a particulary noteworthy way.
A special award for Mr. Nichols for hosting work would be in order I cannot even guess how much stuff I got from his site. SubSim should receive some kind of recogintion. Of course they may have obtained great wealth from the site :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: , and don't need anything else.

Sub Sailor we are aiming to target awards at a wide range of contributors. As you rightly say we should not,
and wont, forget the suppliers of guides, tips, sites etc. Some suggestions were given above:-

Ace Site.
Ace Modder.
Ace Modeler.
Ace Innovator.
Ace Information Poster.
etc

We have to start somewhere, a point of attack, and if the Awards idea floats and is supported then the principle will be
extended to other categories. Nominations will be invited for category heads and subsequently names for polling.
Scripter Awards is only phase one.

But it has to be said, that as exhibited with this poll, if the 'weight' of polling is so slight what credibility
can the Awards carry ?

Where the heck are all those folk who mop up everything that the likes of Fish and Bill do for us ?

Bllman;
I agree with you and I will participate any way I can. I believe it is time to honor those who do so much for the work that put out to improve out playing experience.

Bellman-sorry about that.

Thanks for some very welcome support.

I think it is time to test the level of support for this process so I have put up a Poll.

I sincerely hope that we can secure a 'mandate' to get going.
