'Put your hans together'

Bellman · 07-30-05, 01:56 AM

Ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the monitor ? Scarey ?

Had just dived into a site and grabbed up some more scenarios - there looking back at me was a 'Taker'
OK join the majority ?

Time to stop and consider the huge contribution made to our game by some 'Giants'
No exageration when you consider their time and commitment.
Add to scenario designers, modders, modelers, site hosters, Fleet organisers... the list grows.

Now it may be nice to reward these guys in the only way we can. By, so to speak, 'putting our hands together' and polling.
Starting with Scenario designers, for example, we invite nominations for :-
Ace MP designer.
Ace SP designer.

Run a poll. Perhaps this 'hallowed forum' can be the agent.
Nominations for other categories. Some may warrant Gold, Silver, Bronze rather than 'Ace' only.

The 'Awards' could be a recognition of service and carry the respect of our community.
This would be our way of saying THANKS.

Bellman.

Certainly a great idea!

Bellman · 07-31-05, 09:06 AM

Guess there would be more response from that group -

' The Grateful Dead' ?

Bellman · 08-01-05, 12:58 AM

Thanks Ulla - two on board - thats a start.

Apathy dont you just love it. Guess everyones on holiday !

Well heres a promise - this topic will not just go away.
If its worth doing its worth fighting for. Watch this space 1/1/06 !

If I have got to I will nominate short-lists, inviting additions, and poll for results.

The lack of response/reaction just confirms my initial judgement -
that we are a bunch of m****r *********g TAKERS !!

Prove me wrong - please.

TLAM Strike · 08-01-05, 01:17 AM

Well I say do it. Even if it look like no one cares because they will speak up when stuff starts to happen.

Kapitan · 08-01-05, 01:19 AM

it is a good idea bellman keep it going

Bellman · 08-01-05, 09:36 AM

Good - That will do for starters.

It will be better to start the polls from September when more bodies are about after the holiday period.
That will maximise the return and be fairer.

I will post-up some suggestions before then on the polling procedure and categorys.

Kapitan · 08-01-05, 09:41 AM

go 4 it

Bellman · 08-05-05, 01:46 AM

Just reporting in to update.

The pot is still simmering - just adding some more ingredients before she comes to the boil.

Anyone got any ideas about categories for polling ? Examples :-
Ace Site.
Ace Modder.
Ace Modeler.
Ace Innovator.
Ace Information Poster.
etc.

Some considerations:-
1. Do we include SC/SCX with DW ? (I think yes)
2. Some categories should have Gold/Silver/Bronze awards- which ?
3. Some have been Team efforts - so we award the team ? (yes)

Even the hornets are asleep this summer, so I am not holding my breath for a response.

Just simmering.

Bellman · 08-06-05, 03:41 PM

...and snorkelling.

:hmm:

I think that Modeler and Modder could be combined in to one catagory.

Also Ace Scripter (IE Missions) would be one to have. And all should have Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.

Bellman · 08-06-05, 04:19 PM

Yep - top of the post the starting point category is Mission Designer - Your Scripter is better as it covers Campaigns.

I'm thinking two categories MP and SP here as this reflects generaly the specialisations ?

So we could consider:-
Ace SP Scripter (Gold/Silver/Bronze)
Ace MP Scripter ditto

Bellman · 11-12-05, 02:37 AM

Yep - its called slippage, but its back again and no its not ''Nightmare on Elm Street'' or "Honey I'm home !!!''
Originaly floated in the holiday season it was iced for more active times.

''Even the hornets are asleep this summer, so I am not holding my breath for a response. ''

But to recap the idea is to 'put our hands together' and reward/recognise the great contributions
made by some individuals to our game. So its a kind of players honorary 'Award' system.

Anyone got any ideas how we can give these guys the 'laurels' ? Starting with design - 'Scripter' was suggested ?
Do we separate MP and SP ? Gold, silver and bronze awards by open ballot ?

Sub Sailor · 11-12-05, 11:21 AM

I believe this is a wonderful idea, and I would say yes to SC/SCXIIc, the same "Giants" have helped both sims a lot.

Respectfully,

Bellman · 11-13-05, 01:54 AM

I agree Ron, we should include SC.SCX11 with DW as some of the same people
have been closely associated with all of these sims.

Before we move to inviting nominations for the individuals can we settle on the Award titles ?
All with Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.
Starting with Scripters do we want just an all embracing ' Ace Scripter' or 'Ace Scripter SP' and 'Ace Scripter MP' ?
I will post-up a poll on this topic.

It would be great if we had a medal or insignia for Award holders to optionaly display. Has anyone got the skills
to prepare and propose a design for general approval ?
