Ok, Steve, you have the Conn.

[Cybermat47]

I'm sure that the man this award was named after would be proud. :salute:

[Sailor Steve]

Okay, since it's my honor to start this off, I'm giving it to someone I think is deserving and worthy. He's still fairly new, and still young, but has shown a willingness to help and be a valuable part of the community, and a good amount of wit on top if it all.

This first Abaraham award goes to: Red October1984! :rock: :sunny:

[Red October1984]

I truly am honored guys.

:)

Thank you.

[u crank]

Congrats Red. Good call Steve. :salute:

[les green01]

congrats Red

[Jimbuna]

Good choice and congratulations :sunny:

[The Enigma]

Nice idea.
Congrats to Red October

[Onkel Neal]

For the month of April, Red October1984 passes the Abraham Award to ....

[Red October1984]

Right. Okay.

First off, Happy Easter! :)

The member I want to hand this off to is, in my opinion, one of our most helpful members. He is great at pointing new users in the right direction and is very active and helpful in the Silent Hunter 4 Forums. He also has a knack for some good General Topics threads. :yeah:

The one....

The only.....

Armistead! :arrgh!: Congrats buddy! I've seen you help many other members in my time here this last while. You even helped me out too! :D

[Cybermat47]

Congratulation Armistead! :woot:

[Sailor Steve]

Good choice! Funny, as the month passed I forgot all about this. Nice surprise for me.

Congratulations, Armistead! :rock:

[HW3]

Congratulation Armistead!:yeah:

:subsim:

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations :sunny:

[Red October1984]

Can we sticky this? :hmmm: Just to keep it up top.

[Armistead]

Oh, thank you! Thank you, Subsim for my first award.,{much applause} Please, everyone sit down, thank you, please, sit...thank you. {more applause}

I have to thank my family in NC, the state of NC. I want to thank Neal for Subsim. I want to thank Red for passing the award, even though I feel I should've gotten it before him, but thank you. I want to thank my many friends, Wolferz, uh..Wolfez,..er, well, all my many friends here. I want to thank Steve for spell checking my many post, the many infractions over the years. I want to give a shout out to the Ubirats, those special members that bring meaning to my fake internet character, who I would happily share this award with if I had any decency, but I don’t. And to my beautiful wife, even though you complain, don't cook, clean, spend too much money, at least you let me pretend to be a sub skipper, so thank you as well, I guess.

I was once just a kid from NC who dreamed, ate, and slept submarines and so I want to thank the modders for making the game playable and for making a lifelong dream come true. Thank you.

Also, thanks to Ginger on Gilligan's Island for helping me get through puberty.

Thanks to Mom and Dad for not using protection during the Cuban missle crisis....

Mostly, I want to thank my dog Bear, you continue to inspire
me and give meaning to my life.

I will place this award on my wall, where it will forever remain.

Thank you all!

Or the end of the month, whichever is soonest. :O:

[Armistead]

Or the end of the month, whichever is soonest. :O:

Wait, what...mmmm.

Oh well, I plan on giving it back to myself next month, so on and etc...

[Red October1984]

I want to thank Red for passing the award, even though I feel I should've gotten it before him, but thank you.

Well.... :stare: After I was nice to you... :stare:

[TorpX]

Thanks to Neal, to Armistead, and to all the members, that make this forum, the outstanding place that it is. And in kind memory of Abraham Zeeger, who inspired the award, I take a humble bow.

I think I'll move it to my fireplace mantle, so I can gaze upon it as I enjoy a good stiff drink of rum, tonight.

... huff ... hufff ... huff ...


On second thought, I'll just leave it where it is. Turns out it isn't easy to move around. Oh well, it looks good here.

:subsim: :salute:

[TorpX]

Well it's just about the end of the month, and so it is time for me to name the next recipient of the Abraham Award.

[...everyone waits in breathless anticipation...]

And the winner of the Abraham Award is....

Traveller.

He has been very busy developing multiple versions of his recent mod(s), and has been very active in answering questions, responding to feedback, and with support. Without doubt Traveller has helped to make SH4 a better sim, and bolster the community here.

:yeah::woot::up: :subsim: :salute:

I hope you're not to burned out to enjoy the game.

[Father Goose]

Great selection! Congratulations Traveller. :Kaleun_Cheers:

For the month of August, I nominate someone who's always got a level headed, witty, pithy and intelligent comment. And since I've already had the award, I have to give it to my second choice. :D

Mr. Oberon, come on down.

[Onkel Neal]

Bravo! :rock:

Oberon, congratulates! :up:

So true. Congrats Oberon. :salute:

[Oberon]

Thanks guys, first time I've spotted this thread. :oops: Thank you for voting for me Mookie, appreciate it. :yep:

Took me a little while to think about this, but not that long, this man has given a lot to both this site and to me, he's donated frequently, hosted a reliable server for both gaming and communication, rarely if ever lost his temper despite all that has happened in his life, and remains a good friend of not only myself but many others on this site.

I speak, of course, of Arclight.

[Onkel Neal]

I could not agree more, bravo!:up:

[Jimbuna]

Congrats Arclight :sunny:

[Red October1984]

Congrats Arclight!

Good Choice Oberon.

[Sailor Steve]

Good call, Jamie!

Congratulations Arclight! :rock:

Thanks for the kind words. :oops:

Kinda makes me regret not being more active on the boards lately, but I'm more of a "behind the scenes" guy anyway.

[HW3]

Congratulations Arclight! :salute:

Wow. I just found out about this yesterday.

A belated thanks to everyone. :salute:

[Dowly]

Congrats Arc. Well deserved. :up:

[Armistead]

[Penguin]

Congrats Arc! Now you only need tulip, wooden shoe and cheese icons added :yep:

[Arclight]

I was on my way to Tijuana, but apparently airlines don't take payment in the form of old electronics. I told 'm "There's trace amounts of gold in these things. Gold!", but no. :shifty:


Right, so that took a little pondering but the answer was rather obvious. I know of someone who's also active behind the scenes; for example, our merry little band used to gather on a TeamSpeak server hosted by him before I ended up doing so. For being a member contributing above and beyond, both center stage and behind the curtains, I pass this on to Jimbuna.

Enjoy it while it lasts. :O:

[Sailor Steve]

Big Buna? Like he needs something else to make his head swell!

Congrats, old friend. :sunny:

What can one say?

Receiving any form of positive recognition from a community you get so much enjoyment from is always a welcome.

@Arclight...I'll continue to do my best to justify your kindness :sunny:

@Steve...thanks Pop :)

Good idea on this award, Neal. I have just noticed it while looking into one of Jimbuna's posts :up:

[Jimbuna]

I've given this some thought because there are so many I believe to be more than worthy of this award...so don't get upset if it's not you because I can only choose one.

My choice is someone who has demonstrated their commitment and willingness to those in the community with many great posting examples of unselfish help and advice and have been doing so longer than me.

My choice is....HW3 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=217382)

Thanks guys, thanks brett25!
It´s a great honor and i'm proud of it.

I just saw my emails today because I was in a 5 days trekking with my son Gabriel in high mountains. Just we two. A great trip for a father and son, it will be forever in our hearts.

As many of you, I open this site almost every day for so many years .... I don´t know exactly what took my attention so deeply for sub games ... but I like them so much. I remember the first time that I tried a mod for Sh3, 9 years ago. As brett said, the ingenuity because I didn´t knew that much about real WWII sub warfare at that time and because english isn´t my native language - it´s very difficult for me to say exactly what i want to say:D. Then comes my enthusiasm followed by the mod hardwork, sometimes really very, very hard. My children grew up listening about this game all these years.

I would also like to say thank you to Neal for this great website, this great forum, one of the best forums for hard gamers in the net. Is easy to see that isn´t easy to administrate a big forum like this one. So many pp, so many differences.

Thanks again guys (hats up)!:salute::salute::salute:!

[Onkel Neal]

Nicely said. :up:

[Sailor Steve]

I remember the first time that I tried a mod for Sh3, 9 years ago.
I recall trying to learn how to create a better harbor for SH3, and then you did it so well and made it look easy. I was a bit embarrassed and glad I hadn't posted any of my "work" yet. You stand in the top rank of the modders here, but more importantly have always been reasonable, kind, and helpful.

This award is well deserved. :rock:

Great speech, and a deserved award - just a shame it only lasts a month. :salute:

[Rubini]

Hi guys ... it´s the time to pass this one ahead...
I was very busy in my RL lately and I was not "here" as i would like to stay...

In truth is not easy to choose only one guy, mainly because we have really great guys here in this community ... but I will choose makman94 for his great passion for subsim games, his great effort in make SH games a really great games and because i know him and he is really a great person!

Congratulations Manos, you deserve it!:salute::salute:

[makman94]

hello to all subsimers,

i didn't knew (till today) the existance of this award and i am honored that Rubini choosed me as next holder.

i read about the meaning of this award at the OP from Neal and ,although its meaning is to be given to a member that was most 'active' at the ''current'' month,.....seems that this changed on the road and become something like ''i am giving it to the best member i think is''.

anyway, it is a honor for me to see that members from our community that i respect so much are having a so nice opinion for me too. Rubini is ,indead, one of the greatest guys i 'met' here(not only as a moder but as a person too) and that is exactly what makes this award worthy for me (and,i suppouse, for the next holders too).

thank you all guys for your kind words and stay tuned...i haven't release yet my BEST mods! :Kaleun_Salivating:

[Herr-Berbunch]

thank you all guys for your kind words and stay tuned...i haven't release yet my BEST mods! :Kaleun_Salivating:

Well done :woot:

I like the sound of that last bit.:yeah:

[Onkel Neal]

Well, since Makman is on patrol or something and has not seen my PMs... I get to exercise Executive Authority (oh, whatever) and name the March 2014 Abraham Award recipient.

And he is THEBERBSTER

He makes helpful posts, and suggestions, such as this one (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2174465#post2174465), and has been active in the SH5 forum.

There are many helpful friendly captains in the Subsim Harbor, and this month we all raise a toast to THEBERBSTER.
:Kaleun_Cheers:

[Sailor Steve]

High praise from Da Boss himself! Congrats, THEBERBSTER! :rock:

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations THEBERBSTER :sunny:

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Guys

Well I could crush a grape.

That came out of the blue.

I feel honoured and humbled to be given this honour which I did not know existed.

This means even more to me coming from the “Boss”.

It feels like a late birthday present as I was 68 on 20th Feb.

There are many unassuming Subsimmers out there that I refer to as our Subsim Family.

I particularly feel for the “Newbies” who come in to the game and struggle a bit.

My method is to try to give step by step advice so that they do not have to worry what to do they just need to follow my instructions.

I have made a few friends through PM’s where we have helped each other out. I have a particular recipient in mind once I know how to nominate for the April award.

I think there might be a promotion coming also this month.

I am old school and do not believe in taking something for nothing. I think it is important to give something back.

It saddens me when I see Subsimmers who have been long time "shipmates" still on the bottom rung of the ladder.

I appreciate your thanks it really does means a lot to me coming from my peers.

Good luck and best wishes to you all Peter

[u crank]

Congratulations to THEBERBSTER on this award. Very much deserved. :salute:

hello to all subsimers,

sorry Neal , i tottaly forgot about it and i saw today your pm !

Congratulations to THEBERBSTER :up:

Can i make ,if there is no problem, my suggestion for the next of THEBERBSTER ?

i would suggest the next of THEBERBSTER to be ....Karamazovnew ! this person is one that really has sense of what quality moding means. just look at his UI mod for sh4 and you will understand what i mean. i can also say that is not only one of the best moders i know but also a very great person that i 'met' here!

ps:if my suggestion is causing anomalies to the 'course' of the award ...just ignore my post

all the best ,

Manos

[THEBERBSTER]

I have enjoyed my time with the “Abraham Award”.

I think any award means something special to the recipient.

While I had someone in mind that I was going to nominate for the April award, I do not think that Karamazovnew should be deprived because of a mistake.

If Makman94 believes that Karamazovnew is a worthy contender then that is good enough for me.

I would like to nominate Karamazovnew for the April prestigious “Abraham Award”

Congratulations Karamazovnew.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Karamazovnew couldn't be here to make this announcement, his sub is being overhauled in Midway, so in his stead, I would like to congratulate Defiance as the May 2014 Abraham Award winner. Defiance has been a member of Subsim since 2005, he is active in the SH5 community, and has set a good example of how to communicate with others when dealing with program and mod issues.

Congratulations, Defiance. Now, if you'll kindly step over to the bar, there's a big drink with an umbrella and your name on it.

My hat goes off to all the modders and their helpers and everyone that just takes time out of their lives to help others, especially for people like myself whom over the past week or so has been in a sim-soup lol

So Thankyou All

Good Health
Happy Hunting

Anthony

ps : To the THEBERBSTER, you come across as a true Nice Guy, you go out of your way daily on this forum to help others (as you did for me)
You are an inspiration to myself and i dare say to so many others new and old to this great forum
Kudos

[THEBERBSTER]

Thank you Defiance for your very kind comments.

I see some guys struggling out there especially noobs so I am just trying to do my bit to make things easier for everyone.

Peter

[Defiance]

Hiya's,

I remember the news on Abraham

Was shocking then, and it's still shocking now

Life throws us all curve balls during our time on earth ..........

We as children were instilled with a sense of you're better off doing a good turn for someone rather than a bad turn, karma is the wording these days, though i bet my parents had never heard of the word lol

I'd rather try to help someone than not, that's my nature, i thank my parents for instilling this into all four of us from an early age ..........

Without further ado, i would like to nominate 7Infanterie19 for the Abraham Award

He is inquisitive and helpful, this goes well on this forum, and are just the attributes i would look for in passing on the award

Congratulations 7Infanterie19

Thanks

[Aktungbby]

Thankyou Defiance :Kaleun_Salute:and congrats 7Infanterie19! :Kaleun_Applaud: The award is somehow appropriate as tilting at windmills, real or imagined, is what :subsim: is all about...and you guys are the tiltyard Jedi's! https://library.georgetown.edu/sites/default/files/images/tilting_windmills__gilling_windmills_1968_home.jpg (https://library.georgetown.edu/sites/default/files/images/tilting_windmills__gilling_windmills_1968_home.jpg )

Thanks, Defiance, and congrats to 7Infanterie19 for being recognized by his peers!

[7Infanterie19]

[7Infanterie19 walks through the door, surprised at the gathering]

"Uhhh ... was machen Sie hier, kaleuns?"

:ahoy:

Seriously, I was surprised by this this morning. Caught off guard, in fact. I'm honored and very grateful to everyone! Much appreciated! :yeah:

And here I was thinking I just talk too much .. hehehe :D

Thank you Defiance! It's fitting since you were one of the helpful ones to me this month! :salute:

It's nice to know I have been able to help in some way, considering all the help I've received directly or indirectly since the SH3 days.

:Kaleun_Cheers: PROST!!!!

[CCIP]

Congratulations and thanks to both of you for making Subsim a better place :salute:

[THEBERBSTER]

Congratulations 7Infanterie19

I have been following your activeties and always enjoy reading your posts.

I feel as though I have got to know you quite well through this.

This is another thoroughly richly deserved award to someone you can see is prepared to give up valuable game playing time to help others.

A big thank you also to Defiance for the nomination.

I hope you found the award as uplifting as I did.

Peter

[Sailor Steve]

Congratulations, 7Infanterie19, on being recognized for your contributions. :sunny:

Well, it's the first of the new month already, so it's time to pass on the reins of the Abraham Award.

It's too bad I don't follow a lot of the other forums, because I'm sure there are many there who deserve this too, but there were a couple of people who caught my eye this month in the forums I frequent.

Without further ado, I nominate Katze for the award this month, with honorable mention to Jester_UK, since it was between the two of them for me.

Katze jumps in to help people and lays out some straight up posts that get to the point (unlike me .. hehehe :haha:). He has helped me too, which I've appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for allowing me to carry the award in June!

Cheers and congratulations to Katze!

[Katze]

Wow, this came from out of the blue! Thanks, I had no idea there was such a thing!
I'm glad I could help people out; the clarity of my posts is due to my job, which includes writing bug reports and instructional documents for the computer based training software we develop.

I humbly and graciously accept this reward.

Next month is here and the windmill barely had time to collect dust!

As holder for the past month I now nominate sober as the next recipient of the Abraham Award.

His mega-mod sticky in the SH5 Mods Workshop forum is a great place for new members to start, is kept up to date, and also is a great resource for all SH5 sim enthusiasts as it has both the order to install the mods and links to download them.

Congratulations sober.. I hand you the Abraham Award. :salute:

nikimcbee has been with Subsim for many a year. He's been to several of the meets, he volunteers on a PT boat in his area, and he can always be counted on to enliven a discussion. Just this week he provided the image for my Subsim revenge (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2236855#post2236855) on Google, priceless.

For the month of November I nominate .... (more drumrollz)

BL!TZKR!EG to be receiver of the Abraham Award November 2014.

For his supporting efforts in helping out solving game install problems, and his contributions in coding tools to make game modding (in SH3) more easier and secure.

It tis time for the first Abraham award winner of 2015. That man is ReallyDedPoet, our trusty friend from our favorite neighbor of the north, Canada. ReallyDedPoet is a former moderator and long time supporter of Subsim, in many valuable ways. He has been one of the best spam hunters, and without his aid, we would all be swamped with ads for free romance movies and male stimulants....hmmm, wait.... :O:

Thanks ReallyDedPoet!

Looking forward to it, I know it will be a worthy member.

[ReallyDedPoet]

I would like to pass on the next Abraham Award ( February, 2015 ) to fitzcarraldo.

He exemplifies two qualities I think are befitting of the award. First he is friendly, I often see him post a welcome to new members.

Second, he can often be found helping out someone in these
forums.

Here is to you fitz :up:

I'm honored to have been chosen!!

Thank you Fitzcarraldo for thinking of me.

By looking at past recipients, I find I'm in outstanding company. I'm truly not worthy to be recognized for participating on a forum that has become such a joy to be a part of.

My early part of a day is usually spent opening up to the SubSim's forum to see if there are questions regarding something I've posted, or a problem that a member may have. It's like my first cup of coffee.....can't start the day without it!!

I look forward to the responsibility of choosing next months honoree. But, for right now......I'll bask in the after glow!! :D

I wish to introduce the April, 2015 recipient of the "Abraham Award".
