I've made a decision here: A lot of people on the Developer's Corner have been extremely helpful recently, and I (as the main moderator here, with blackhole rather busy) really haven't been giving out much in the way of karma rewards. This needs to be rectified.

As such, I'm puting out the following offer/request:

If you know someone who has done something particularly helpful on the Developer's Board within the last, say, month, then email me and let me know - they will be rewarded with an appropriate amount of karma. Please provide the following information:

The username of the person you want to praise. (obviously)
Your username on the webboard (for cross-checking purposes - I don't want people registering a hotmail account then praising themselves.)
A link to the post in question, or if that's not possible, a brief description of what they did.

I will accept nominations for unregistered users - the karma will be added on when registration is reenabled. I can not, unfortunately, accept nominations FROM unregistered users - it makes it much too hard for me to check the veracity of the nomination.

Requests for negative karma for some infraction will also be accepted gratefully, but be honest, guys.

Don't be afraid if you are unsure of whether something is worthy of karma - tell me anyway, and I will make that decision.

Send all correspondence to my normal email address: (url="http://"mailto:mazca@mazca.com")mailto:mazca@mazca.com(/url)mazca@mazca.com

I suppose giving David Arthur some karma is out of the question, right?

I suppose giving Divals karma is out of the question too? Everyone hates him and if you did there would be a riot, so you probably shouldn't. (/bitter rant)

I hope your kidding. He's only the person/demi god responsible for the frozen heart and fem fatal plugs as well as some editors.
Not to mention a helpfull guy.

I played those plugs once or twice... and got killed by a giant flying wormhole before i could get into the story too far...

I kinda remember him now.

Though David Arthur is indeed a demigod, he did not create FH and FF. That demigod would be Martin Turner.

You know, that's not the first time someone's confused me with Martin Turner, the creator of The Frozen Heart and Femme Fatale. Maybe it's because we both use our real names. I'm the one who did MissionComputer (a mission/description/government/commodity/year offset/dude editor for Escape Velocity and EV Override), EV Nova Target Generator, and the Talon plug-in for the original Escape Velocity (all available from (url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/")davidarthur.evula.net(/url)), the pre-beta article (url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/evnova/govtarticle.php")Governments of EV Nova(/url), and portions of the (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/survival_guide/")EV Nova Survival Guide(/url), as well as contributing to the beta-testing of EV Nova (to the tune of more than 160 pages of formal beta reports) and to (url="http://"http://www.ev-nova.net/")EV-Nova.net(/url).

I think that Lequis_MX deserves some more karma. He has offered and made graphics for countless people, including myself. He is always helping someone out in some way, shape or form. He even talked me into buying Bryce 5! He is a great guy, and deserves recognition for what he does almost everyday. Thats all.

Helped me figure out why my plug was taking no effect. Much appreciated.

Legion - Good choice. Anatole just got some karma.
wirehead - I know what you mean about Lequis - the karma point he has already was for the same sort of thing a good while ago... I suppose he deserves another one really.<click>

Okay, that's now a total of four people who have gained karma through a recommendation ont top of the approximately 8 people I recently gave karma to anyway. Keep the recommendations coming.
