I voted for Herman Hum to be the 2005 Pooner of the Year.
IMHO, no one (bar none) has done more to advance Harpoon (both Classic and H3) throughout the community and beyond in this past year.
No one else encourages scenario writing (which is the guts of Harpoon after all) more than Herman, by providing players, designers and potential designers both the places to go to enjoy the sims (like ScenShare, Files of ScenShare and ACG-SZO) and the reward for doing so, by writing simply "tons" of after action reports (AAR's).
Harpoon is more active and alive today because of what Herman has done. Bravo.
I voted for Ed Ladner to receive the Lifetime Pooner award.
Ed's been around Harpoon for longer than I can remember. He's what you call one of the "pillars of the community" when it comes to Harpoon. He quite simply deserves the recognition and thanks that comes with a Lifetime Pooner. Thanks, Ed.
We Canadians face the unpleasant prospect of getting out in the cold and voting in a federal election come January 23. You can do it from the comfort of your own home. Make sure you vote.
