As many of you know, I was a diehard fan of SFC2 and Canada West, and it really irked me that Lincoln and Skull were not included in the lifetime achievement awards. I cannot count the endless hours and days I spent on CW, and in the early days it was Linc and Skull who fixed problems for us at EVERY hour of the day, and also gave us a place to play. Lincoln even took the server and connected it to a T-1 line and did all sorts of experimentations to help smooth things out.

I'm not wanting anyone to get flamed, and I sure as heck do not want see my butt kicked off forums, but if anyone has contact with these people, please voice your support if you agree. Me thinks two people got locked out of the gift process and I think that Linc and Bonez deserve a prize as well.

If you two received something from Taldren that I did not know about, then I apologize, I was not aware...

Linc and Bonez people, they were there...

I'm not downgrading anyone else's contributions to Taldren, but I remember a time when SFC2 was getting bad reviews, and those two guys stood true...

If not all those goodies, at least offer that kickbutt soundcard, I want one myself but I will buy my own one day thank you...

All very true, but there were many people who have done much with this game that were not mentioned, which is why I only gave that post a cursory glance at best.

To be honest, since they titled the category "(Technical)" I'm very much hoping that means they've got a couple more categories (and recipients) in mind. The amount of time, effort, and funds the server admins have put in on this game is absolutely staggering.

There should not have been an award ceremony at all. Instead, Taldren should have spent the money and the time on fixing OP problems and giving artifex the help and toolset features instead of congradulating us on finishing a lot of the work they left out. And yeah, kudos to the CW team for figuring out the server settings. There shoulda been a damn manual for us to interpret that chaotic [censored].

Somebody pissed on dizzy's cornflakes this morning? He's a Texas boy, and forgiven, hehehehehe.

I agree, the files were a major pain, but I enjoyed the new missions....

Dave, you deserved an award, of that I have no doubt. I remember your frustration at us gamers when some missions did not work so well, guess is what happens when people do not want volunteer test, eh? I'm sure you had some unkind words, and rightfully so, I will not ask. I just think Linc and skull deserve credit too, YOUR missions got played out on CW/SFC2.net. I say this not to make you angry, I have great respect for your work, I just think some were left out...

I didn't phrase that very well.

I agree completely.

If that's it for the awards then there are big holes where the admins should be. It seems too obvious to have been overlooked, so I'm hoping it wasn't - i.e. there's a different category with awards for them still coming. The last batch came completely out of the blue, so I'm not about to guess what else they might be planning, but I'd be surprised if they're finished.

I would concur....

It would seem that they specified catagory.....I would have also added just a few more peeps ..but hey....free stuff dont grow on tree's ya know...heh

I would bet on some honorable mentions in other catagories as well....

I understand, maybe they can do this again a few months from now...

Apologies if I irked anyone...

I am disappointed with people who are carping about who got left off the list. I am sorry but they didn't have to say anything at all. It was a nice gesture. If you didn't get a pat on the back, well sorry. Now how about every grows up, and stops worrying about who "teacher is giving the gold stars" to.

Thank You Taldren for the nice gesture. Please don't let a few people make you regret the gesture.

Man, I sure hope you never have to compile a list to thank all the people involved in a huge project sometime. Guaranteed you will miss one.
