The LeoVampire Award Spring 2008

[sqk7744]

Captains,

Digital_Trucker and I would like to create an award to honor Dave "LeoVampire", and keep his name around these waters, in which I will donate my copy of the SH4 U-Boat Missions Expansion pack to the most deserving subsim community member. The award will be in the spirit of a humanitarian award, so please post the forum member that you feel best fits the following, as Digital_Trucker puts it;

We thank you for your support and ask that you all vote for, whom you feel is the most deserving member of our community. Our goal with be to create an award which rewards a new Submarine simulation (when released) to the individual who deserves it more. We are starting the award and offering the SH4 U-Boat Missions Expansion pack to honor Dave, but in the future hope the publishers like UBI or through donations from the community, will keep this award going on in Dave "LeoVampires" name.

Thank you,
-sqk and DT

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".

Dave / LeoVampire
(a humanitarian award) Dedicated to the thankless, tireless subsim forum member.

Dave's dedication, excellent work and memory will live on in this thread. When you install the mod and watch the sun rise and set, remember Dave's passion for SH4, creating the very best for all players of SH4. Dave was never one to say 'Final Release'. That is Dave's greatest gift to this community and SH4. The drive Dave had with ROW/SH4 and all his physical issues simply edifies one man's desire to strive for the very best for fellow players of the game, SH4. To put it simply, the mod was so good that most players would not play the game until Dave' fixed or enhanced his work when needed. That speaks volumes for Dave's creativity and passion for the game and the Subsim community. Dave was a genuine as genuine gets. Always stopping to help others with any problems concerning the game, even if it did not pertain to his mod! Dave's untimely demise 01/2008 warrants a continuation of this thread and his work. Dave was certainly a friend to all within this community.”

Wow I'm sorry I'll keep my mouth shut..... I always seem to get in trouble no matter what I do....

[Ducimus]

LOL, no worries, thats my sarchastic humor coming out. Doesnt always translate to forums very well.

[sqk7744]

Thanks for posting clayp, that's why DT and I asked for a public response, you are free to nominate someone, and the nominees are free to say, "thanks, but no thanks".

Best regards,

I thought I was the only one with that problem:rotfl:

[kiwi_2005]

Well hell, I can't make up my mind who. I have a few in mind...

Community member. Well I know Neal is the admin here so is he classed as a community member:hmm: I personally think it should go to Neal Hes had this site running for us for 10yrs or more now, pays his own way to keep it running with the help of donations & it must be a struggle at times to keep it running. Plus he has to put up with us!:p He deserves it IMO.

[THE_MASK]

I nominate the devs.

[ReallyDedPoet]

This one will require some thought. There are many great folks here
Well done coming up with this sqk & DT


RDP

[longam]

They are all just as important as the rest so real hard to think of just one. :hmm:

[tater]

Problem is many if not most of the "deserving" candidates already have it.

Perhaps you should vote on some new modders, and give it to them as encouragement to keep trying.

I think Dave might've liked that.

[Jimbuna]

A fiitting tribute and a real honour for the eventual recipient/s

[hyperion2206]

I nominate CapnScurvy for his excellent Ship_Centered_Accuracy_Fix 1.2 which makes sinking the Japanese ships a lot easier.

[Alex]

Very nice thread. My vote goes to Mr Kriller2 for keeping working hard on the ROW project.
