Now that's a gentlemen's answer :up:

[momo55]

WernerSobe got my vote because his videotutorials on manuel targetting helpt me to make the BIG step .

This tutorials should be STICKY !


Respect and endless gratitude to all the modders in this community however ....they make me proud to be a very little part of it .

LONG LIVE SUBSIM.COM :rock:

[CaptainKobuk]

Can we throw a dart at the list?

All i can say is i like mods that make the game more fun. They all do that.:|\\

Kosh got my vote just because it's the last mod i've added and i really appreciated a "no-algae" mod finally. As a scuba diver i naturally like to watch my sub underwater.

[Onkel Neal]

I am not voting as I will not put one mod guy above another one, all these guys do a great job and I thank all of them for there hard work. :up:

Well, you should vote for a guy who has zero votes so far, then. If you value them all equally, help one get in the running:hmm:

If your first choice has a big lead, vote for your 2nd or 3rd choice. This isn't "winner takes all", it's top ten get a prize.

Well, I wasn't going to vote since I still can't play the game; but with user-friendly attitude like that, I guess I'll wait and help somebody out.:rock:

[Delusory]

I voted for Ducimus, because he made a fantastic mod pack and I like it. But I want to say that all mod guys done and are doing very god job, I want to THANK THEM ALL:up:

Good luck to everyone :)

[Rockin Robbins]

This thread is unconstitutionally violating the prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment! These modders all work together and now we pit them against one another like dogs. Who are we, Micheal Vick? :yep:

But in the spirit of coopetition and progress, let the carnage begin!!:arrgh!:

[Switch]

Vote goes to Ducimus for Trigger Maru... :yep:

Thank you to all the modders your work and time devoted to the game :up:

[TDK1044]

ALlow me to be the first to say...

Captain Cox


I totally agree. For consistent delivery of high quality mods, and for demonstrating the kind of attitude that is a breath of fresh air, my vote goes to Captain Cox.:D

I'm offended by all the people telling who they voted for. This hurts the feelings of all who they didn't vote for (and adds the voters to a bunch of enemies lists [and while I'm on the subject, how come nobody nominated poor SeeAdler? {don't laugh - I can keep this up all day <oh yes I can>}]), and violates the spirit of the secret ballot (I'm not telling who I'm voting for [oh, no; I'm doing it again!]).


Oh, and if any of you are gullible enough to not realize I'm kidding, let me just say :p (:rotfl: [oh no!]).

[corleonedk]

Well mine went to jace,i think cc and and some of the others got more than enough to get one :lol:

I say give all the mod guys and sub skinners t-shirts. ;)

[Kapt.Klaus]

Can I post a vote for my self?:oops: :lol:

[ReDRuM71]

Capt. Cox gets my vote.
Now can someone tell me how to pull the dart out of my 22" widescreen:o

[Capt. Shark Bait]

i have to say that i can't/won't vote. it's not really fair to single out 1 or 2, or however many, when the are all equally great:rock:

Well Said. :yep:

[Bum]

Doesn't make any sense, you're just saying none of them should get a shirt :shifty:


Jimimadrid, thanks for those improved tool buttons!:smug:

[STEED]

Doesn't make any sense, you're just saying none of them should get a shirt :shifty:


From post 23 which was my one - I say give all the mod guys and sub skinners t-shirts. ;)

I totally agree also. Trouble was, the community already gave a good indication that everyone involved in improving SH4 should recieve a t-shirt. It's the Poll thingy that buggered it up because the "ball was thrown back into our court" to pinpoint an individual.

That's close :lol: Now what happens if the 10th and 11th position have the same voting amount at the end of the voting :hmm:

[AkbarGulag]

Im sure i have used a Tedhealy mod before... anyone able to remind me what it was ^^

Surprised Lethal doesnt have a vote yet either...

This whole vote thing is pretty painful. So many great mods and many of which were made in 1.1 patch and 1.2 patch... Kinda clouds out the guys that didn't keep up with the mods. Still, there are those here who did put in unbelievable amounts of effort to bring us a great number of mods... I guess it is fair to be recognised.

When is the last day of voting?

[Ducimus]

Tater should rank alot higher on that list. if it wasnt for him, alot of people would be playing with the stock campaign, with unrealistic traffic.

[Fearless]

Tater should rank alot higher on that list. if it wasnt for him, alot of people would be playing with the stock campaign, with unrealistic traffic.

Totally agree. That's why IMHO a poll was the wrong way to go about it. Should've been a behind the scenes selection.

[Fearless]

And another thing while I'm at it, the ones that miss out should most definitely get some sort of recognition so why not issue them with a "Certificate of Appreciation" Would be a great feeling to me in my books :cool:

[Bando]

I agree Tater should be higher up. But than I look at the list and I see noone voted for Mraah, who did a LOT of work on the radar prior to 1.3
There are so many good modders, I sure hope all the guys without any (or very little) votes will not be dissepointed too much and as far as I'm concerned; All you guys are worth the recognition.:up: :up:

[direland69]

WernerSobe gets my vote. I am loving Realistic Sinking Mechanics!

Thank you WernerSobe!

[buzzinbill]

To hell with a t-shirt , UBI should give these guys a job .......

[Argus00]

Captain Cox

[ReallyDedPoet]

Voted for the Captain, but it was not easy, all of the lads on the list deserve credit for what they have done with SH4:rock::rock:

That's why I voted for one of the guys lagging in the poll, just to show I feel you all deserve something.

Maybe a personalized avatar?

Again :up:

Vote! Pick your favorite mod guru, or vote for one you like who is lagging in the race. We love them all, so vote for at least one :ping:

[WolfyBrandon]

It was very hard to decide who to vote for when so many moders have contributed so many good things to the Subsim community for free. I’m someone who really loves eye candy and as much as I really wanted to vote for someone in that area I also understand that it is important that the game works like it should of out of the box. I went through my current list of mods in JSGME and picked out the person who provided the most “fix’s” for the game, and looking back at all the mods and fix’s he released for SH3 my vote had to go to the one and only Anvart! :up:

[CaptainCox]

I would just like to thank ALL OF YOU GUYS! for making this a better game. I would also like to thank all the guys that voted, not only for me but for all the great modders doing this work relentlessly day and night.

To be totally honest I am very humbled, and somewhat embarrassed (being a Swede that's totally normal believe me) this could have gone to any of you guys if you ask me.

Again Thanks to you all and thank you Neal and all the Subsim staff for making SS the best game/sim community on the web!

I think as holidays are almost over, i should get back in the saddle and do some modding ;)

Shirts have been shipped for most of the winners, there are a couple guys who have not radioed in. You know who you are, send me a PM.

Also, Subsim members Bando and Momo55, you have been selected for SH4 t-shirts for your participation in the community, please PM me a mailing address and shirt size :yep:

[leovampire]

being one of the winners makes a great Birthday Present for me and then some.

Congrat's to everyone who won and congrat's to all the moders in the comunity mentioned or not who have contributed to this comunity not just the moders but also the people who helped with sugestions and input on things that needed tweeking because all of us make up this modding comunity moders and people with requests alike.

CaptainCox and Ducimus glad you guys made the top 2 my friends!

Let me tell you a little story about me and what this game and learning to mod has done for me!

In July of 2006 I had a mild stroke that didn't effect me physicly but mentaly instead.

I had lost the ability to drive because I could no longer understand the difference between the right and wrong side of the road and I also lost all my depth perception as well and could not tell how close or how far things were from me and the car. Plus my ability to understand what I was seeing on the TV was garbled and had an extreamly hard time understanding what exactly I was watching and seeing.

Then this new version of the Silent Hunter came out and it was something I had played for many years in the past so I just had to get it. Now I was told that it was a waste of money because I had a hard time plying my old games after the stroke and sometimes not at all. But I bought it none the less and forced myself to learn how to play it. Then there were the problems with game crashes and so forth before the patches and I ended up finding this Subsim comunity and got a lot of help from people here players and moders alike. Some people took me under their wing and started to help me understand the inner workings of the game and how to change things in it.

Well to make a long story short because of this game and people helping me here I was able to rebuild my thought proceses enough to be able to drive again and understand things I watched on TV and pulled me out of a depression so bad that all I had thought about was dieing every day I woke up.

This is what this game and learning how to mod has done for me! It gave me a new life again and a purpose to live again.

And then this year when I had a heart attack several of the guys here kept in touch with PM's that my friend answered for me and gave me all the messages while I was in the hospital. Redwine, Capatain Cox, Bando, Reallydedpoet showed me that no matter what the distance is between where we all live and the fact we have never seen each other in person made no difference. They showed me the true meaning of the SubSim COMUNITY.

To the makers of this game and all here give yourselves a pat on the back because in one way or another you have made my life better than it was.

Ya I know I am a sappy guy and it's time to shut up!! LOL!

[Onkel Neal]

Hi Dave,

It's really an honor to know that Subsim could help out your difficult situation. Thanks for sharing that, mate.

Neal

[Beery]

Hey I never even saw this! I would have voted for Captain Cox. Oh wait - TimeTraveller only got one vote - OUCH! That guy was God! Well, him and Captain Cox, and JScones and CCIP. I guess there was a pantheon of godlike beings. Demigods if you will, along the lines of Hercules, or perhaps Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods. Yeah, that works.

Anyway, since I was in the top ten does this mean I should have got a shirt? :D

Not that Subsim should ever owe me anything - I should be sending Neal gifts.

[Onkel Neal]

Anyway, since I was in the top ten does this mean I should have got a shirt? :D



Yeah, see what happens when you miss the meetings? :lol: You never PMed me. I think one of my kids is wearing your shirt now.

PM me with mailing info and I'll send ya a Ping Prize, we love you.

Neal
