Hawkeye60 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 To Revive this thread! I quote, "On 2014, golfsierra2 took the initiative and started the JimMack Memorial Trophy "event". The trophy is dedicated to Jim Mackonochie, a highly important member of the Eagle Dynamics community, who passed away on April 23rd 2013. (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104617) I didn't unfortunately have the chance to meet or talk to him so I would like to quote the words of golfsierra's 2015 post:""Originally Posted by golfsierra2 Two years ago on April 23rd, 2013, our friend Jim Mackonochie - known as JimMack - passed away. A few years ago, I was lucky to meet him and he appeared to me a true flight sim enthusiast, a bright, humorous guy one likes to chat to. This trophy is dedicated to his life work, so we might remember him for the years to come. The trophy should go to somebody, who - in the spirit of JimMack - either has supported the community in an outstanding way or has shown outstanding fairness and dedication towards other players." "Following golfsierra's suggestion a nominations thread is announced yearly in ED forum in order to pass the trophy to a new member of the community, who actively contributes to the promotion and advancement of the sim community. Mustang was the winner for 2014 and myself (373vFS_Greg) for 2015. Mustang received the trophy from golfsierra2 and thus it's my turn now to hand out the trophy to the winner for 2016. For this a new poll will be announced soon for nominees of 2016. Candidates can be nominated in this thread within two weeks from now (namely until March 31st, 2016) including name (nick) and a short statement, why this person should get the trophy. Thank you all in advance and stay tuned because you might be the next winner!"Which brings us to the present day. I suggest two awards. One for the above, and, One for the Dev's/Moderators. Both third party and ED. To get things started, and it was a easy choice for me to make, I nominate BIGNEWY as Moderator of the year. Not only has he volunteered here for ages, He has always been kind, respectful, informative and sounds like "One of the guys" when communicating with him. And the icing on the cake? His appointment to the Forum Admin position, Officially by ED. Congrats BTW! I am thrilled to have you on board in this new role! It is, IMHO, a honor long overdue! My jury is still out on the member vote..... Too many choices, ALL excellent..... I also suggest for someone else to be the "Vote counter/announcer. Any volunteer for this are welcome. Your Vote? Who lights your afterburners?:D (Winners would be announced, and the Crown awarded, New Years day.):) "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 BigNewy has always been awesome, but I'm getting a lot more feels for Nick Grey, the man himself, for turning ED around in a lot better direction. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye60 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 T shirt for winner? Just TWO votes? Sad...... Is there no one who deserves your praise? NO ONE? It looks like a virtual tie. I am going to sweeten the pot a bit...... To the winner overall, I will have made and send to him/her a pocket "T" with DCS World and the graphic of your choice, screen printed on front and back. And sent to the address you provide. All at NO COST to anyone but myself. (donations will be accepted via pay pal if you wish to contribute) My way of saying, THANK YOU! For all you do, this T's for you! :D Happy holidays! (Winner to be announced early January 2020) "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.
