I'm particularly glad to see Rockin Robbins up there. He (like The Berbster) is a top man

[Sailor Steve]

A good list, and well deserved. Congratulations all! :rock:

[Aktungbby]

Congrats to Torplexed best sig! Who exactly voted ?

[Onkel Neal]

I drafted a panel of judges who have served Subsim in the past.

[Rockin Robbins]

Holy cow! That's amazing and really unexpected. It's an award to our entire team: propbeanie, xtbilly, cdrsubron7, s7rikeback, CapnScurvy and max-peck. And Neal, you put me on this monster when you gave me the job of posting lost mods back on Subsim and FTP space to do it with. That led me to preserving FOTRS versions and then fitzcarraldo said "what if you...." Now the tiger has us all by the tails and we're embroiled in utter chaos and discovery, not to mention a little controversy. To my surprise it's all great fun.

We only have one request. Our mod and team are the Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate Edition, and the abbreviation is FOTRSU because FOTRS, Fall of the Rising Sun was the sole production of the Aces of the Deep and AOTD_MadMax. Our work is a tribute to their contributions and incorporating almost all their great work but is our own mod and we bear the responsibility for anything you don't like about it. We gladly accept reports of defects and are in continuous work to fix them. Our work is less than half done, even though we do have a very playable public beta version available for all to download.

:salute: I thank you guys, and am extremely humbled just to be in the mere presence of all of you...

:subsim: :salute:

[Dowly]

[cdrsubron7]

I feel honored to be included in such illustrious company. :yep:

Thank you all. :D :up:

[Commander Wallace]

I'm particularly glad to see Rockin Robbins up there. He (like The Berbster) is a top man I agree with that. :yep: They are both helpful.

Congratulations to everyone who won. :Kaleun_Applaud: The awards are well deserved. :Kaleun_Salute:

[u crank]

Congratulations to all the winners.:salute:

[THEBERBSTER]

It is always a great honor to be recognized by your peers.
Being rewarded for something you enjoy doing is the icing on the cake.
Thank you.

Congratulations to all! :Kaleun_Salute:

[Delanski]

Wow! I absolutely wasn't expecting an award at all when I logged on this morning (especially seeing how I've been inactive for a while with a low post count), I must've made a very good first impression somewhere.
I've been gone for a while although have been lurking back here every now and then, my interests have took me away elsewhere and now they've brought me back to subsimming again. I've only just logged back on this week haha.

Thanks for the nomination, I absolutely appreciate it. And congratz to all the other fellas for their 2016 award.

[Bleiente]

I did not deserve it... I only made fire on the explosive barrel.
Thank you and congratulations to the deserved recipients / members.

Gruß Ralle :D

[totheorder]

Congrats fellas and thank you! :Kaleun_Cheers:

[Captain Dave]

Congrats to all of the 2016 winners. Looking forward to the completion of FOTRSU.

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations to all of the "Winners". :Kaleun_Salute:

[Rockin Robbins]

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

And all the young whippersnappers are looking at each other (virtually, of course) and wondering what I'm going on about. The rest of us are hearing the song in our heads and saying "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" The Who, Who's Next, 1971.

[AVGWarhawk]

Congratulations one and all! :Kaleun_Salute:

You of course, remember Quadrophenia, with the "Mods"... versus the "Rockers"... ?? :har: We have seen, and we are ~OLD~... :har: but we are now the "Modders" :yeah:, which is a combination of a Mod and a Rocker... ahem... sorry - won't happen again...:o :subsim:

[Sailor Steve]

"Modders"
Back in the day, a reporter asked Ringo Starr whether he was a Mod or a Rocker. His reply: "I'd say I'm more of a Mocker."

For us old heads to enjoy. For the whippersnappers to hear what real rock and roll sounds like.

Thank you for this honor!!

Congratulations to ALL recipients!! :salute:

[Rockin Robbins]

Others of the FOTRSU team who have escaped notice, but without whose help we couldn't call ourselves a quality mod are Jeff-Groves, who taught us how early in the development cycle we were and gave us the tools to eliminate errors built up over nine years of SH4 modding and even longer on SH3 modding, the source of some elements in the mod.

And Florida Sailor has been indispensable in enemy AI, importing ships and finding campaign and missions boo-boos.

Shoot me now! There's no excuse for my having left these two out. Their help has been vital to our success.

[Jeff-Groves]

You Guys did good.
:salute:

I do NOT want any type rewards added.

[Rockin Robbins]

We're getting there. We had no chance of getting to where we are or even realizing where we need to be without your help. WE guys did good. We'll do better.:salute:

[Jeff-Groves]

I had no idea about this all until Aktungbby called me today.
To say it came as a great surprise would be an understatement!
I fully expected the Team to get this Award and well deserved!

[bart]

It came as a complete surprise to me, and I'm deeply honoured to have been nominated.

Congratulations to all who received an award.

Long live SUBSIM.
