The LeoVampire Award Spring 2008

[Kapitan_Phillips]

My vote goes to stabiz. If there was anyone who could make a video game look like a movie, its him.

[Torps]

KRILLER 2 has my vote for continuing Daves work. Daves passing hit us all hard and kriller took up the task where Dave left off.

[DavyJonesFootlocker]

I know some of these guys didn't offer mods but I'd like nominate the following outstanding human beings who, I think reflects Mr. Leo's helpfulness and generosity-

AckbarGulag- for emailing me the mods when I couldn't download them from FileFront.
Sailor Steve- for offering his copy of SH4 for my friend in Barbados.
Rockin Robbins- for recommending offering a copy of the add-on.
Peabody- for having a nice sense of humour and an all-round friendly chap.

If I've left out anyone, I'm sorry. Old age causes that.

Ah. heck why dontcha give the award to the whole SubSim Community- You know they deserve it!:hmm:

[TDK1044]

I really admire the thought behind this, but I think that Dave would feel that we as a community are special here, and not any one individual.

The best way to honor Dave is to continue to use ROW, as modified by Kriller's group, and to continue to support the Devs.

[Schultzy]

there are so many on this forum that are worthy...

every 'shortlist' i've come up with still looks like a crew manifest...

I'll try and whittle it down to one...but god that's a tough ask...

[JREX53]

There is one person here that is usually one of the first people to welcome new members in this forum.
He also is one of the first people to offer help to people, not just by his words, but he also puts in the extra effort of finding supporting links for the questions that are asked.

I vote for reallydedpoet.

That's the spirit of what we had in mind, DJ This wasn't really intended to be a "modders award" but more of an award for the folks that are the epitome of the word "humanitarian". The folks that you can always count on to be helpful and encouraging to the total noobs, the old salts and all the rest of us in between. The folks that make this community (forget community, this family) an enjoyable place to be. Kind of like the Oscar for (and I can't believe that I'm going to try to be "politically correct" here) best supporting "ActingPerson". The person who doesn't get a lot of the publicity, but is just as important to the "big picture".


Edit : I type waaaaaaaaaay to slowly, but JREX has the idea, too.

Yeah, I know what you're saying DT. I've been a member in different gaming sites and never really felt comfortable and felt like a real foreigner. SubSim is the first ever site that on day one felt right at home.

I certainly appreciate the thought SK, but I think I'm disqualified due to the fact that I'm an employee of the company presenting the award.

[sqk7744]

*Employees of the LeoVampire Award nomination comittee, and their immediate family members, and employees and the immediate family members of the Kill Flags mod are not eligible to enter or win.

sorry DT

And that is to bad DT, both you and sqk have done great things here, not just with your mods ( Kill Flags, Radio Manger, etc. ) but how you go about doing it. I don't see to many users of either of the mentioned mods go away with an unanswered question or the like. You both are class acts in my book

Having said all of this, I nominate kriller. Many folks were not sure what to do when Dave passed, and rightfully so, Dave had that affect on us all, but you got a sense that folks wanted to see his work continued (after all he had brought ROW so far, it was his driving purpose in life, many here provided help along the way). With the help of members here, kriller stepped up the the plate and has been carrying on the work of ROW work ever since releasing various versions including his current work in progress for 1.5.

Along the way he still manages to assist others with their stuff There will never be another Dave, nor should there be, but there can be those here that aspire to make SUBSIM a better place ( Dave held SUBSIM in the highest regard ) kriller fits that mold.

@ JREX53, thanks again for the kind words.

I know sh*t about modding . I have 2 left hands what pc stuff concerns . My youngest son (26) even calls me "grasshopper"...but i think "SKWASJER" would be a good choise .
Leo made a huge difference for most (all) of us with ROW and the spirit behind it in helping "2 left handers" like me aswell .
From what i understand is skwasjers tool something that opens "closed hatches" and makes a huge difference in moddingpossibilities and at the end of the line ..for us all mod users.
I see him help , advice , analyse and this allways in a gentel and serieus way .
