Kudos on quitting, i know how hard that can be.

Yeah, it's pretty crap..... Apparently you need something called "willpower".... not too sure what that is.... Though I have enlisted the help of "2mg Mint Lozenges" which will help... The only trouble with them is that they dont warn you about them tasting like a Polo mint that's been wiped 'round the inside of an ashtray....

Day One and counting........

hmmm sooo that means the other nominations we made earlier ( life time stuff .. ) has not been reviewed and is to be posted else where too??

Might I make a little suggestion:

1. We need a separate "stickie" for nominations and approvals for awards.

2. We need a moderator to assist in clarification on nominations in the event something is miscatagorized.. but obviously the nomination is well intended ... FOA .. this was your idea you know it better than anyone else !!

3. I noticed several other nomination listed in this thread as well ... looks like that all needs to be translated and tallied when the new post is done too ! (That way we know what the standings are ... ) OR .. perhaps this needs to be reviewed by other forum personnel, tracked and results posted as needed.

just a couple of thoughts to help clarify and expedite the process.

thanks

Actually, to thrown in my two cents here.. it may be better to have a child board rather than however many stickied threads.. that way, as ideas for new ribbons, new ways of nominating, etc happen.. all those new stickied threads won't make any new posts in the main forum start showing up on Page 2. ;)

As well, nominations for people can be done in their own seperate threads, which means that when someone wants to nominate someone, they can scan the board and see if they're already there.. and if not, create a new thread starting the nomination process. Keeping it self-contained like that will just prevent spreading things all over the forum as time goes on.

Just my idea on it.. :)

Agreed ..

as long as it is easier to get the nominations posted, reviewed, and finalized: that is the jest of my point.

Those who are more adapt to setting up a forum would know the best possible solution, and make the best application of the idea !!

Attempting to continue to add to one single thread would eventually become entirely too difficult to keep track of.

Is there an award for starting one of the biggest controversys on a Taldren board, getting banned, then having the community try to get the handle reinstated?

Just wondering (tee-hee-hee)

To be honest I don't like the idea of awards. Namely due to the fact that the community tends to have certain 'clicks' Namely Outalance. Of course Outalance will nominate all the team members on Outalance. Makes sense, but there tends to be an alienation of modelers who contribute tons of stuff but don't socialize as much on the forum. So awards likely end up being more of a popularity contest than based solely on merit.

Quality of work versus quamity is also a consideration. Then you have to ask what guidelines you are judging models buy. Is the most important thing how good the model looks or is it more important for the model to be used on older machines? There is also many more people that prefer OP over SFC3 on the forums. So someone making models for OP would likely get more recognition. Another point is some modelers do the entire process do to not being able to find anyone interested in the same genre of models. Doing the entire process ie: meshing, texturing, mapping, hard pointing, break model and game conversion is more time consuming. Thus a modeler doing the entire process can't turn out 12 ships a week. Where as that same modeler could do 12 meshes a week if someone then did the rest of the process. So then is the modeler who works on less ships by himself contributing less to the community?

Anytime you start nominating people, someone will get slighted. I could start listing some modelers that I feel do the best work or have contributed the most but I am bound to leave someone off. I don't know if anyone remembers what happened when Taldren sponsered a model contest. They even had prizes such as Video cards and 3d instruction books. Well it didn't go well. I don't think this would implode as ther is no monetary awards but I still don't like it.

DookeyKing · « **Reply #98 on:** January 26, 2005, 10:54:22 am »

Any time that ANYONE offers recognition for community contributions someone is going to feel stepped on and overlooked. The only negative comment that I've read in this thread is yours RG, and that probably doesn't surprise anyone. This certainly isn't the first time you've expressed your feelings about outalance, and frankly it's starting to smack of jealousy. Outalance members are getting recognition that you feel you deserve but never get. I certainly am not the voice of outalance, but I'm pretty confident that most feel the same as I do. Make the models for yourself. Share them with those who want them. Don't hang your self esteem on the opinions of strangers.

if you look at the date of the last post before RG's you will notice that its Nov 24 long before OutaLance was ever started here and has sorta been a dead thread. personally i think everyone deserves some sort of recognition for what they have done to advance the community but that usually comes in the form of their models being used in game or playing that persons mod or on thier server.
[/ rant on]i have learned alot being part of Outalance and it has helped me grow as a modeller. yes OutaLane is becomming a large force here but you have to remember we get together to help eachother and compliment eachothers skills for example i can mesh and map textures but i can not create textures, F_W can make textures but not mesh so we often team up to work on things (ie. the Warhammer.) OutaLance is not some uber power dictator here we are just people getting together and doing what we love to do and thats build models so if anyone feels like outalance is stealing all the glory i appoligize that is not our intent we are here for the community and will always be. [/rant off]

RG your ships and mods are well respected and i would nominate you for you great Andromeda models and i will lend you a hand anytime you need just PM me or catch me on MSN.
DK dude personally i think you were a little harsh on the man just my opinion.
