OK... a little more eggnog to refill your glass... a bit more "cheer"... ...and we're ready to continue! :) ...Wait. Some of you don't have any eggnog in your glass, but lots of "cheer"!

On May 16th, 2009, Dixicrat and Jim-NC were nominated for service recognition, by Redeemer. I would like to nominate JIM-NC and Dixicrat for the Service Medal for several helpful and insightful posts that have taught me even more about the game. I'll cover Dixicrat's nomination separately. But as fo...

On May 20th, 2009, Caccio was nominated for the Service Commendation Medal for his "Battle Reporter" utility. [...]I would also like to nominate Caccio for a service medal or whatever is appropriate for his work on the Battle Reporter... which is cool as s**t and will help players understand why the...

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful time, over the holidays! :) I appreciate your patience and forebearance, gentlemen, in granting me the time to deal with real world holiday concerns. As some of you know, I have small children for whom Christmas has always been a very special and magical time...

I can sum up my feelings about AACW with this: [...]Every little thing is right: The scale of the game is right, the map is detailed and beautiful, the generals with their differences are all there, the recruitment and creation of your forces is fantastic, battle results are almost always believabl...

Our tradition is to stay up until midnight to watch the Big Ball drop at Times Square in NYC, and then to fall asleep at 10:30 instead. No drinkin', as throwing up just isn't as much fun after you turn 40. +1 :D [SIZE="4"] [color="DarkOrange"]Happy New Year to everyone! Best wishes to all, for the ...

By the way... don't tell me this is not sexy for women... http://yaprouworld.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/arnold-schwarzenegger-big.jpg :blink: :D OK! I won't tell you that! Even if its true ... Nope! You won't hear me saying, "yuck!" when I look at that picture. [SIZE="1"]But I sure will think it.....

What an elegant idea! The Luxembourg issue had crossed my mind, too, but your elegant idea about the flags just didn't occur to me! Good thinking!

You should write press releases for Aegod! I do not mean this as anything other than a compliment because that was a beautifully written description of the game. Thank you, H Gilmer3! Your gracious words truly made my day! :) Well said, Aphrodite Mae, well said. While I don't enjoy the game nearly ...

Hobbes, you may have noticed that some of the changes that I made in Dignity within the medals PDF affected your rack, a bit. I'm sorry that I gave you the one with the old arrangement. I think that you're very sweet to have posted your medals in your signature, and so if the idea of going through t...

I would summarize the game as a geopolitical simulation of the 19th century. Each nation has its own issues and agenda, and your decisions involving the economic, cultural, technological, and military development of your nation can cause you to take your nation in directions that are anything but hi...

Your Majesty, I nominate Longshanks to receive recognition for his "bright idea" of a tournament. I believe that his endeavor contributes to the betterment of our community through fun competition. Thanks, Longshanks, for a great idea. :) I couldn't agree more! I'm genuinely impressed with how smoo...

Glad to see you back Aphrodite. I have been gone for awhile myself, but finally got a internet connection over here in the desert. LOL Wow! :w00t: I thought you were gone for good!

Well! Once again, we have recognized one of our forum's heroes! Just in case you're wondering what Hobbe's rack looks like with the medals that he's been awarded during "Festival of the Tiger", here's a glimpse! ;) [CENTER][ATTACH]16874[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Top Row: Distinguished Service Medal with Fro...

Recognition for you is long overdue. :winner: Simply put: WIA would only be a shadow of what it is today without your testing, design ideas, and new scenarios. :coeurs: :love: :thumbsup: ...oh, and your merciless nagging of The Master for game engine improvements has benefitted ALL AGE-engine games...

As I've explained before, the "Queen's Gallantry" medal isn't an award from the forums. The medal has fairly modest "rank", among the other medals, and it has no prestige whatsoever. That's because it's an award from me, personally. With every other medal, I try to present what I believe the consens...

[...] I thought I would post a picture of myself Christmas shopping earlier today, proudly displaying my new rack. [...] Once again, I find myself grateful that the gentlemen here can neither see me, nor hear me! :D Oh, Chris, that is so classically you, to post that! Thank you, so much, for making...

We've already recognized Hobbes true Mastery of Scenario Design by awarding him the Master Modder medal with high honors. But there's an important quality that a good scenario designer must have, that most people probably don't think about. It's simply that one must be a strong player, too! A strong...

Just in case you don't know, an AAR ( A fter A ction R eport) is a thread that describes the progress of a PBEM ( P lay B y EM ail) game. Most AARs provide a turn-by-turn account of the game. Some AARs are simple, and just provide a rough sketch of what the player was thinking when he moved troops, ...

Many of you already know that Hobbes is the traditional host of our forum's annual Halloween Thread. If you don't know this yet, you're in for a treat! Almost every year, Hobbes has hosted a thread that is almost like a carnival! :) There are prizes, and great things to see, and fun things to do... ...

Early in this thread, there were many good suggestions from the men of these forums for new medals. One of the best suggestions was from Hobbes, when he proposed that I design a new medal for the achievement of reaching 2000 posts. It really made sense to me, and I couldn't help but wonder why I had...

After his service as an AACW Beta, Hobbes continued to develop his skills as a modder, under the masterful guidance of Lodilefty. Hobbes switched his attention to a different AGEod game, but AACW's loss was War in America 's gain! Gentlemen, have you ever done any modding? If you have, then you know...

In 2009, Hobbes was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for his role as a member of the Beta Team that brought us AGEod's American Civil War . For many people, that distinctive achievement of service to our community would be enough. But apparently, it wasn't enough for Hobbes! Hobbes went on to...

I feel like I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. Me, too. :) We have greats like Lodi, who have made great and lasting contributions to our community with their selfless service to us. Many of these men are well known to us, but others are not so prominent. Indeed, their quiet contributions hav...

I'm happy that most of you don't see a problem. That's great! :) Even so... if you should encounter anything of the nature that I talked about in the O riginal P ost, just keep in mind my idea of "The Silent Revolution", OK?
