HarpoonPages invites you to vote for the 2006 Pooner and Lifetime Pooner.

The big news is that this is the 10th Anniversary of the first Pooner vote (Tom Wenck won back in 1996 for his pfedit program). Thanks to yours truly, Don Gilman, Larry Bond, Chris Carlson, and Brad Leyte (Pooner 2005) the award this year includes adoration & thanks of the Harpoon community and more.

The 2006 Pooner will receive a first edition hard cover copy of Red Storm Rising, in Very Good condition (if not fine but I'm no book dealer) signed not only by Tom Clancy, but Larry Bond as well!

The 2006 Lifetime Pooner will receive a copy of Dangerous Ground signed by Larry Bond and Chris Carlson!

To vote and view the past winners, visit http://www.harpoonpages.com/poonervote/pooner-Intro.php

If you have any difficulties voting, please send an e-mail to pooner@harpoonpages.com with your name, e-mail address, and your vote for Pooner and Lifetime Pooner and I will enter them manually.

Please post this message on any forum/list/newsgroup where Harpoon players reside so that we can bring in as many votes and cudos as possible to those who sustain Harpoon.

Hehe, I see I'm a bilge rat, one of the better things I've been called of late. Anyway, the 2006 Pooner voting is half over time-wise and more votes can only help show who you appreciate in the Harpoon community. Talk up your vote here and make it official at http://www.harpoonpages.com/poonervote/pooner-Intro.php

If you have any difficulty, contact me at pooner@harpoonpages.com and I'll make sure to get your vote entered one way or another.

The Pooner voting is to recognize an individual each year who has most contributed to the computer Harpoon games, and one additional individual who goes on the Lifetime Pooner award for extra special service to Harpoon over a number of years.

Thanks for voting!

Thanks again to Larry Bond for his signature and Dangerous Ground, and to Brad Leyte for sharing the initial cost of RSR and shipping these books all over creation!
