Nominate the Subsim Skipper of the month

[Onkel Neal]

We have so many great people here, I am going to have a Subsim Skipper of the month. Here's how it works:

Rules

1. You cannot nominate yourself.
2. You must have logged 50 or more posts to nominate someone. (For obvious reasons).
3. One nomination per person, please.
4. Once posted, you cannot change your nominee. Don't edit your nomination post.
5. You can and should shamelessly petition their case here, in this thread.

This will be partly a popularity contest, but also a reward for someone you think has been helpful, friendly, interesting, and overall a good Subsim guy.

Our judges will select the nominees with the best argued cases and run a poll for you to vote on the finalists. The winning Subsim Skipper of the month will receive a Rigged for Dive t-shirt and a copy of the Subsim book.

thanks
Neal

[Abd_von_Mumit]

Question: Does it apply to whole the forums or just to SH3 one? I personally fell I couldn't vote for anyone, cause I'm sticked to this subforum and hardly ever have a look at others...

[Onkel Neal]

Anyone on any of the Subsim forums.

[STEED]

A bit of fun. :hmm: And why not. :D

I vote for The Avon Lady she rocks. :rock:

[_Seth_]

I would like to nominate danlisa. Without him i wouldnt have known anything about skinning & modding. And he is also extremly helpfull to all the newbies that joins subsim. All over, a great guy! :up:

Edit; Firewall, i apperciate your nice thoughts, mate. Those kind words really warmes!:oops::oops:
But i think there are a people in here who deserves this more than me, truly (like Sailor Steve, danlisa, Stabiz, mrchris, bigboywooly, Kpt.Lehmann and all the rest!)

[Gizzmoe]

I vote for Sailor Steve. Not only is he already a member for many years, there is a certain continuity in his behaviour. He´s always trying to be helpful, he´s friendly and it´s very obvious that he cares much about this community. Even now that he is going through difficult times he´s here regularly, for me that´s a sign of devotion. He´s a real asset to our community.

[ASWnut101]

bah!... can't vote for meself.:cry: :lol:

[Mav87th]

I nominate Neal Stevens.

Not only does he run the place (and that takes a lot of hours to do i bet) but he allso works "behind the curtain" to enhance our enjoyment in the future.

Always a polite answer from him and he comes up with the info we all want from time to time.

Thanks for your effort Neal :up:

Could not be better said...

Sailor Steve :up:

[FIREWALL]

I nominate Seth.
I feel he's a worthy canidate as he alway's first to welcome a newbie
and help them with whatever their question is. And if he doesn't have
the right answer he refer's them to someone that doe's. He away's put's
a positive spin on everthing and will join in with a laugh but, never at
somebody else's expense. He share's the mod skins he does then gives credit to all that helped him get it out to us. He will also take the time to pm aperson that needs help so it doesn't tie up the thread and offers to
help them step by step to acomplish what their not smart enough to do
on their own and ashure's them that their not dumb and everyone needs
help to learn something new. He's alway's willing to chip in any way he can when a members in need whether it's "knowledge,financial or moral
support.

These in my opinion are the qualities of a Skipper

[danlisa]

http://www.alexanderpringwilson.org/images/emoticons/blush.gif Erm, thanks Seth.

My vote - this is really hard Neal, as you say there are so many members here who are helpful, friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable as well as those who, in the face of adversity have managed to overcome many obstacles and achieve something that benefits the entire community.
It is also very hard to encompass the whole of Subsim in my decision so I'll stick with what I know, SH3.

My vote goes to someone who is always helpful, cheerful, knowledgeable and has been a 'one man army' (as someone put it;) ) in the last month or so following the release of GWX.

Drumroll please & take a bow.......................bigboywooly

[Polak]

Polak


















...;)
I have to agree with the choice of Sailor Steve, excellent skipper and a true Subsim pioneer, hats off for the old guard.:up:

[Enigma]

I nominate Sea Queen.

After my "Last chance at my skipper stripes" thread, in which I stated I would all but quit on DW if I didnt come to understand it better, I got help from lots of people who answered lots of my questions. Most notably was Sea Queen, who took the time to answer my questions at length and make suggestions that helped me make vast strides in my competancy as a skipper. I now utilize the systems of my Seawolf with knowledge of what the hell they are doing. :lol:

Seriously, my game has come a long way thanks to she and this communtiy. Im even designing campiagns now!

Honorable mention to Subguru, who is always very helpful and giving of his time. I think Sea Queen just might have a little more time on his hands than bill! :lol:

[CCIP]

I join the call on Sailor Steve. Definitely an excellent choice :)

[sonar732]

This is difficult to say! I feel that Subsim.com's moderators need to at least have an honorary mention each month! They put up with so much crap and are under the watchful eye of our members.:up::up::up::up::rock::rock::rock:

[sonar732]

I nominate Neal Stevens.

Not only does he run the place (and that takes a lot of hours to do i bet) but he allso works "behind the curtain" to enhance our enjoyment in the future.

Always a polite answer from him and he comes up with the info we all want from time to time.

Thanks for your effort Neal :up:

kiss A#@ :lol::lol::lol:

[TteFAboB]

I nominate Sailor Steve because he reads my posts.

Hmm, that didn't convince you did it? :hmm:

Alright then, Sailor Steve is a role model for the kids. Better?

[ASWnut101]

im debating with myself wether it should be the mods or Sailor Steve...:hmm: :hmm:

[geetrue]

I vote for Torplexed

I wanted to nominate Red Shoes, but I guess she took off …

It was a close call between her and Torplexed …

Can you vote for more than one?

Can you cheer on your favorite if someone else votes for them too?

I voted for Torplexed:

Because he’s a real sub sim sailor. I respect him for his humor which you need
to get through a 89 day patrol at sea.

He would have been a good officer on any real submarine in any war, plus he’s
funny as all get out and if he doesn’t win this month he will probably win in another one.

He’s the funniest man (on paper) I’ve ever met.


This is all I could get off of his personal page
Join date: 12-25-2001

Location:
Seattle in the Great Nortwest

Would you please say a few words for us Torplexed …

Silence …

Well, I’m sure he will be along with a cartoon for us soon and very soon.

The winner should get a trophy with this inscription:


"Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change
the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead

I vote this quote should be on the trophy.
There is a trophy, right?

[bigboywooly]

:oops: ummm thanx Dan

What a great idea Neal :up:
Well now - who to nominate :hmm:
Only one vote too thats a toughie

:damn: harder than I thought

Ok I will give my vote to Anvart
Apart from some great ship additions in the way of the lit merchants he has always been most helpfull to me and many others in many ways
Whether helping out with some of the harder parts to modding or creating fixs for problems - he has been there
Sometimes the language barrier gets in the way of expressing his views but never stops him from replying or helping

[Onkel Neal]

I nominate Neal Stevens.

Not only does he run the place (and that takes a lot of hours to do i bet) but he allso works "behind the curtain" to enhance our enjoyment in the future.

Always a polite answer from him and he comes up with the info we all want from time to time.

Thanks for your effort Neal :up:

Thanks, Mav, but naturally I have exclude myself from the voting. Thanks for the thought, though :)

[Camaero]

I was thinking Sailor Steve. This guy is a fountain of knowledge and the nice guy that he is, he shares it with others. :up:

[Kapitan]

SAILOR STEVE


because he has been a navy rating he has been there done that and come out the other side, (as quite a few have) but also cause he has had a rough time of recent and he has the will power to make a go of anything no matter what life throws at the guy.

Close second sonar732

[Schatten]

Sailor Steve because anyone with a .50 in his avatar gets my vote!

Plus all of that other nice stuff the other guys said, because it's all true. :up:

[Sulikate]

I vote for Sailor Steve. As many said, he has been there and is someone that contributes greatly to this community.

[Molon Labe]

SeaQueen seconded.

[STEED]

You better hurry up Neal we are half way in to Jan. ;)

[stabiz]

My vote goes to Kpt Lehmann, the puppet master behind GWX. An awesome achievement that mod, nobody can deny it.


I dont know what the GWX dev team had to endure to make it happen, I can only guess.:up:

[mookiemookie]

Sailor Steve was naturally my first thought. Then I scrolled down and realized that he was everyone else's as well.

Well deserved, for all of the above stated reasons.

[Biggles]

Well, since I can't nominate myself for two obvious reasons (firstly, I'm not allowed to, and secondly I'm a jerk:lol:) then I guess my vote goes for.....Stabiz this time. Why? well, he seems clearminded and thoughtful and (above all) nice.:up:
oh, and he DID take part of the GWX beta-testing right? I mean, I supposed that it helped in making the mod what it is, so cheers Stabiz! (and the rest):()1:

[Takeda Shingen]

I, too, would join the chorus of praise for Sailor Steve. He is insightful, kind, always appropriate, and even pretends to find my jokes funny.

[Kapitan_Phillips]

I too, vote for Sailor Steve. He's one of the friendliest guys around here, even if youu havent formally met. He's also got a great sense of humour :up:

[AS]

Sailor Steve for obvious reasons (see above).

Cheers, AS

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Kpt Lehmann

His work on the GW and GWX mods. The greatest in history in my opionion. So take a bow. :up:

[Dr.Sid]

There are these guys like Luftwolf or Bill Nichols (SubGuru) .. but they are plainly beyond such ranks .. their help to community is immeasurable, and far beyond 'month' scope.

So for this month, I nominate vote for CptSimFreak for bringing the idea of 'silly comic' thread, and for starting it in pretty nice way. That really revived the thread.

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

Errrrr . . . . tis a very difficult choice. I can easily think of 20 that I consider worthy of the nomination. So I'm glad this is 'of the month', and not a one-shot deal.

Having said that, my vote (this month) goes to Kpt Lehmann. Not just for being the central focus behind GWX, but for being so incredibly patient (for the most part :p ) surrounded by anxiously-awaiting Kaleuns eager for the release of GWX.

[LuftWolf]

SeaQueen deserves recognition of her contributions to Subsim, because of her knowledge, thoroughness, patience, fairness, and overall consistent commitment to this place.

So, SeaQueen gets my vote for sure.

Cheers,
David

[Polak]

Well, then I guess that it's settled, Sailor Steve it is. :yep:
Skipp the polls, the voting and the judges, more seriously, for how long will it be possible to nominate new people?
Asking out of pure curiosity.

[Onkel Neal]

Point of order, this thread is for nominations, not voting. That comes after we have some nominations ;)

[fredbass]

I nominate BBW. There is noone who has taken more time and answered more questions, especially recently, concerning GWX and many other issues with SH3 as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks BBW :yep: :up:

[baggygreen]

i'll order your point NS:lol: Sorry, joke from work.

Anyways, my nomination is steed.






Steve needs some competition doesnt he?!?

[FIREWALL]

Point of order, this thread is for nominations, not voting. That comes after we have some nominations ;)


Order you say... I'll take a cheeze burger , texas tooth picks and a
large soda. To Go. :D

[ASWnut101]

holy crap! I have been under the impression that Sea Queen was a male.... oops!

[LuftWolf]

"Queen" in an Elizabeth sense, not in a Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia" sense...

[sonar732]

I concur with Sea Queen!:up::up:

[SeaQueen]

I nominate Sea Queen.

Thank you very much, but why me? I'm sure if you played me you'd find me completely inept.

[sonar732]

I nominate Sea Queen.
Thank you very much, but why me? I'm sure if you played me you'd find me completely inept.

It was put right on with how your defense knowledge helps people understand the reasoning about why they implement tactics....speaking of which...where's my hook up with a job as a contractor??? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[LuftWolf]

I've never been so wrong in a public way. :know:

Good show. ;)

Cheers,
David

PS I think that does it, SQ is definately the first Skipper of the Month. :yep:

[Torplexed]

I also nominate Sailor Steve....if only for his brillant defense lawyer's mind. BTW did Drebbel ever pay his legal fees? ;)

http://www.eskimo.com/%7Esnowfall/Plea.jpg

[peterloo]

Well... Sailor Steve sounds a perfect choice, but Seth Rocks as well... :rock:
very hard to tell... As Sailor Steve has already be nominated by many of you guys, :) maybe I nominate Seth instead :D

[SeaQueen]

So for this month, I nominate vote for CptSimFreak for bringing the idea of 'silly comic' thread, and for starting it in pretty nice way. That really revived the thread.

I second that one. The silly comic thread is fun because it illuminates the silly goofs we've all made playing the game. Naval simulations can be terribly daunting to learn to play and it's important that people who are new to the hobby not feel like they're surrounded by people who were born knowing everything and they're they only dummy. The truth is, we all wander around the simulated ocean dazed and confused, hoping we don't bump into each other or any random rock. It's important to laugh at ourselves.

[GT182]

If it was possible I'd nominate the whole GWX Dev Team. But seeing I can't and he represents all of them, plus the fact that he's put in many long hard hours at home and at work, I hereby nominate...... Kpt Lehmann. ;)

[baggygreen]

nice torplexed:up:

[nikimcbee]

I also nominate Sailor Steve....if only for his brillant defense lawyer's mind. BTW did Drebbel ever pay his legal fees? ;)

http://www.eskimo.com/%7Esnowfall/Plea.jpg

I believe The Drebbel has not paid the fees and has gone back into hiding...:dead:

I have met this "SailorSteve" and he's a great guy:up: . During the Subsim conference in Salt Lake City, we discussed: the latest SHIII stuff, Dreadnoughts, American Civil War, hot subsim gossip:cool: , and other topics that can't be discussed in the forums:hmm: :cool: . So I vote for Steve:rock: .

My follow up vote would be torplexed, for that great expose on the Ray-duh brotherhood.

Neal would have had my vote, IF the Oakland had won four games...:damn:

[Onkel Neal]

To clarify, this is the thread for nominations. If someone has nominated Bob Subguy, and you want to vote for him, hang loose, I will post the voting Poll in a couple days. If you know someone you want to nominate, post his or her name here and back it up with why he should be SSOM.

Neal

[Abraham]

Since Neal is not participating I'll vote for Sailor Steve, for all the reasons mentioned above by my fellow subsimmers. When I was a simple curious bilge rat he would let me share his thoughts about many subjects and reveal part of his private life and personality in postings and p.m.'s. And still, whenever I see one of his postings, I read it. On average very worthwhile reading. A real role model for new forum members and a guy who deserves respect.
...
My follow up vote would be torplexed...

Right on!

[Ping Jockey]

My nomination is Sailor Steve.He always helps out here if he can. Plus he lives in Utah.

[Kaleun]

Sailor Steve also!

[Mooncatt]

i would like to nominate jasonsagert. beacause he is burning a copy of GWX patch 1.4 and commander 2.7 to discand sending it from the states to the uk for me. very helpful and much much appreciated :up:

[TarJak]

Hard to say. How about Bigboywooly for this month and Ktp Lehmann and JScones for lifetime acheivement awards?

BBW is always polite, helpful and I think contirubtes a great deal to the community.

[mr chris]

My nomanations are as follows,
Sailor Steve.
BigBoyWooly.
And JScones:up:

Edit sorry for posting three but i belive that all three are equally derserving and really could not diveded them.:oops::oops:

[Kaleun]

Kpt Lehman for organising the collective genius that is GWX! (and it's team!!)

[Letum]

I would love to nominate JScones or Sergbuto or any of the SHIIPacific team, but that doesn't seam right as "man of the month" would require a little more action from them this month. :hmm:


Any chance of lifetime - achievement awards? :D

[AVGWarhawk]

I vote for everyone that has already posted on this thread ahead of me. Lets face it, these are the core guys who are always racing to help the noob or throw out a good laugh.

Seth
BigBoy
dansila
GT182
Biggles
Stabiz
AVH
Kpt Lehman
Sailor Steve for getting the factual information.






Have a nice day!:D

[The Munster]

I nominate Bigboywooly as he has helped me from the very first day I posted here. :up:

[Sailor Steve]

I'm always going on about how SH3 Commander is the best single tool created for the game, so I have to put in a nomination for


JScones!

[Fish]

Bill Nichols for president! :up:

[Biggles]

I vote for everyone that has already posted on this thread ahead of me. Lets face it, these are the core guys who are always racing to help the noob or throw out a good laugh.

You forgot about Dowly...even if isn't here right now.....thanks btw...

[mr chris]

BIGBOYWOOLY!!!

Gets my vote ever since i have been here over the last year and a bit. He has always been on hand to help me out time and time again, He showed amazing patiance with me when it came to helping me with adding new ships to my GW.1.1a install. I will never forget get how dumb i must of sounded to him during the Graff Zepellin eipsode.:oops:
He is always there to give you a helping hand and have a laugh in the process.
Oh and he puts up with me continuely trying to get him out to play MP.
Without BBW i would have most likely have trued my back on SH3 long ago it is him that pointed me in the right direction of GW1.1a and in the right direction time and time again after that.
Take a bow mate:up:

[IceGrog]

Dansila

Flip of the coin as they say…… I was making a list of the ones who helped me, which includes the ones who in their posts were answering some else’s question but was also in answering it was helping me……………the list was a long one so I flipped a coin until it came down to dansila……………………………not a bad choice I must say

[Lzs von swe]

I ad Jimbuna to the nominees, he´s been hard at it the last month:up:

Everyone that has been nominated gets a :up: from me:sunny:

[The Munster]

I nominate BBW. There is noone who has taken more time and answered more questions, especially recently, concerning GWX and many other issues with SH3 as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks BBW :yep: :up:

Ditto to this :yep:
.. I nominated BBW over at General Topics Section for this [has my vote when the voting commences].

[gouldjg]

Rubini, Vonhelsing, Kpt Lehmann,, Jscones, Beery, CCIP,

Man I cant decide :damn:

I love you all :cool:

But now that I am forced to give an answer

Rubinni
for putting life into the game

[Mav87th]

Thanks, Mav, but naturally I have exclude myself from the voting. Thanks for the thought, though :)

DAMN - and here i hoped there would be a prize to the best nominator....:sunny:

[GT182]

All mentioned, and those not mentioned, deserve something extra special and long lasting.... except me of course. That goes for all the modders, makers of all the extra programs, and anything else that's made SHIII what it is over the stock sim. They ALL deserve our thanks and appreciation for their hard work and dedication. Without them we'd all be left with a sim sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

[Ducimus]

Since this is the first "skipper of the month" or nomiation, i find myself looking at Sh3, from past to present, andthinking in terms of contributions that became the foundation for just about everything that followed it.

Before any Grey Wolves or NYGM mod packages there was Unified Campaign Vanilla, which, in essense was Harbor traffic 1.48 i beleive.

Obviously before that there was Harbor traffic in it's many forms, (before that was Improved convoys)

So all told, the foundation for all the campaign work, looking at the core package, if we were to trace the lineage of the core content of supermods back, to one singular source, the wellspring from which everything followed that has been here all along...

That source, is...

Rubini

[Kruger]

:/\\k::/\\k::/\\k::/\\k: I vote ofr Danlisa

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Gawd!!! To somehow narrow down a nomination to one person feels impossible!

Can I nominate REFBBWJSCONESRUBINIVONHELSCHINGPABLOICHNEUMONBORIS NIPPLESPANNERGIBSFUBARPANTSSTABIZ-SYXX_KILLERSAILORSTEVEIBLITZANDEVERYBODYWHOHELPEDW ITHGW???

I feel like I'd rather chop my fingers off one at a time.

Arrrgh!

If this is a once-per-month deal I'm going to need a dart-board.

[McBeck]

I nominate Drebbel!

Dont ask me why...I owe the fella:arrgh!:

[Biggles]

You can ignore it you know....

Not meaning to go off in left field, but what is this Utah conference?
Will there be more of these? Hope so. I'd like to participate in one.

[STEED]

Now I sit back and think about next month. ;)

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Yeeah, me too XD

[Sailor Steve]

[Not meaning to go off in left field, but what is this Utah conference?
Will there be more of these? Hope so. I'd like to participate in one.
It was a joke. There have been meetings in London and Houston and the first one was I think in Amsterdam, but I wasn't around then.

Last summer nikimcbee came to Utah for personal reasons. We arranged by PM and e-mail to get together and ended up spending a fun afternoon eating and talking.

So the great "2006 Utah SubSim Conference" involved exactly two people!

[geetrue]

Los Angeles was the first one ... back in 2002 ...


But another one would be great ... Vegas is close to Utah, right?

[JCWolf]

As allways i arived late...:rotfl:
Sorry Neal!


Kpt. Lehman

[SmokinTep]

Avon Lady.............:up:

[GakunGak]

_Seth_, the grey wolf.....
If not the skip, then a movie director....:|\\

[Dustyboats]

Sailor Steve gets my viote. He was the first person to help when I joined the crews only a few months ago. Dustyboats....The Bilge Rat!

[Onkel Neal]

Not a "bilge rat" any longer, Dusty ;)

[GakunGak]

I don't remember having only 6 posts and having a white hat... Much less 20 years in service...:hmm: :doh: :arrgh!:

[STEED]

PLEASE NOTE
I have decided to save myself some time, all my nominations for each month go to Sailor Steve and it's going too stay that way. :know: :yep: ;)

Take it as red that I have made all my nominations.
