My thoughts exactly.

I'd say Thedarkwrath as modder of the year, because without his work, SH5 would be unplayable IMO. His prodigious work is keeping SH5's head above water, and will most certainly get me to reinstall SH5 once he's published his supermod for SH5.

Nisgesis's TDC radar range unit most definatly as mod of the year. The amount of work and extrapolation he did in that is nothing short of phenomenal and pushed the game engine to it's limits. In my opinion his mod is the most realistic portrayal of a TDC and radar ranging ever made in any SH title.

Question: What are the qualifications for midshipman of the year?

Pending the answer, my suggestions follow. I tried not to nominate the usual suspects because I know they'll be nominated, and deservedly so; not that I don't love them as well:

Poster of the Year: Frau Kaleun

Thread of the Year: Curiosity Killed the Cat '10. What other thread has been around since January without a sticky?

Mod of the Year: Intelligent, Random AI (IRAI)

Modder of the Year: TheDarkWraith

Most Helpful Member of the Year: Sober

Moderator of the Year: XabbaRus

Post of the Year:

Signature of the Year: Dowly: Misspelling

Funniest Post(er) of the Year: Oberon

Unsure about post of the year as well. Need some time to mull that over.

Some pretty good suggestions there Tak....can't post mine (I think) on the committee

I can think of a few strong contenders in most of the categories though....the competition is pretty high and really quite reflective of our excellent forum/community

So come on peeps, the more input/nominations from the floor...the better

Takeda Shingen · 11-30-10, 04:57 PM

I posted a link in the SH5 forum. Hopefully that will bring down some of the guys that don't read GT regularly.

Luck with that or I was about to miss this nomination thread. Now.. I can give nomination only for SH5 mods and moders, but it has to be only one? I will nominee more, but if it has to be only one, then take the first on the list.

SH5 - Modder of the Year:
TDW - for his amazing amount of work and time spent into fixing and improving SH5. This guy is already a legend, no doubt about that.
W_Clear - for pushing the SH5 environment beyond his limits and creating stunning weather effects. It's already hard to make a difference between pixels and reality due his work.

SH5 - Mod of the Year:
IRAI - It can be considered as patch 1.3 for SH5. Without this mod, the game is worthless and pointless.
UHS - Even if this mod was not improved since release, it's an essential mod for SH5 just because it fix the sub.

SH5 was born as a retard child but we got here an amazing team of doctors who saved this child and gave him chance to live. BIG thanks to all SH5 moders, everyone without exception. /salute

McBeck · 12-01-10, 05:09 AM

I second this:
Thread of the Year
Subsim army of zombies

Reason: This thread was started at a time when the frustrations with SH5 was running high, but it showed the true nature of this community...we may be annoyed, we may be angry, we may be all kinds of things, but we do not support trolling.
In any other community, this thread would have evolved into something very ugly very fast.

I think that would be the best poster who joined this year, and I know who I want for that one.

[edit] I just reread Jim's and Tak's posts, and I think both have good points. I'm currently leaning toward Jim's idea of derailing possible nominations by identifying ourselves, but I'm also open to suggestion and advice on the subject, and of course if Aramike says keep quiet then that's the final word. Too late for the Big Buna and the Old Sailor, but the others can still be persuaded.
