Here we are, end of year approaches... I'd like to see Ralf Koelbach as nominee, since he has great involvement in Harpoon via scen designing.

Ralf is already a Pooner (2007) and is no longer eligible but I'm sure he'll appreciate reading your post! Got someone else(s)?

Oops, my bad... I propose then Harold Hutchinson, for the following reasons: db author in the 3.6 era (hutchdb), and Harpoon expansion promoter via writing novels with Harpoon as a reality check

Christopher Irvine for the excellent input and help moderating "The Old Pooners Group"

[CV32]

My vote goes to Enrique Mas (aka 'broncepulido' on these forums) for ...

* his invaluable help finding and squashing bugs
* being an excellent researcher and active contributor to the continued development of the HCE Database (the HCDB)
* writing scenarios for the game we love

All key tenets of what makes a great Pooner - an active and healthy contribution to the game! Thanks Enrique!

My nomination... Darren Buckley.

I don't think there is any elaboration required. Those that knew him would agree and those who didn't... you don't realize your loss.

Sorry... should have looked at the list first. Mea cupa...

I think he should be given some special award at any rate for his contribution to this community. He'll be much missed.

by ALL means I agree. Maybe an exception to the rule applies?

My vote for Mark Gellis.



Why? He is one of the best scenario designers I´ve ever met in Harpoon. His brilliant micro scenarios use the hidden details up to the utmost. Remember Jap Fish? Five units or so - and how thrilling.



Recently he switched from HC to H3 and learnt VERY fast how to write challenging scens for this sim, too.

I'll second that. And he's bailed me out of a self-created problem or two as well.
