What a cruel poll D:

[Bigace360 38]

lol, because no one even try to do anything during nomiations and so we only have two contestants.

[Jon Bon 43]

I know, fail me. I missed the cut off point.

[Bob423 52]

thanks to me, kell and jon are tied

[Heretic86 25]

Yeah, well, thanks to me kell and jon are tied again! 4 and 4...

[Jon Bon 43]

Haha nice. I think Kell should win to be honest. My logic for that is only that the help I give could be done be almost anyone, his help is specific to a skill I do not have and there for I find his help to be more valuable. The people who help with scripting here, I value higher than anything I can bring to the table.

Thanks for all your support everyone, I am glad to have made such an impact, and promise to keep up my helpful nature.

[Bob423 52]

well you're so loved because, all though anyone can do what you do, no one does

[kellessdee 48]

Bob makes a VERY good point.

 

And I'd like to take it a step further.

 

Jon, I don't think you give yourself enough credit, I admire your modesty, but I would like to point this out:

As member of this community, I think you are easily more valuable than I.

 

I like to think of myself as friendly/fair/helpful (or I try to be anyways), but what I provide mostly comes down to the fact that I love programming.

I love talking about, explaining it, helping others learn it, and of course, I love programming as well. So, I try to do what I can around here because I enjoy doing it. You may have noticed however, I am rarely outside of programming topics.

 

You on the other hand, are often in a wider array of topics. And, in each of these topics all your posts are well thought out, and provide some kind of valuable input. And of course, you are friendly, fair and well-spoken.

 

That's the one thing I think often gets lost in these MOTM polls is that it's about commemorating valuable members to the community, and I think there is much more to being a "valuable member" than providing RGSS support. I don't think saying, a good scripter is a good member is very fair. This is about the community, not RGSS.

 

And in those respects, I feel that there are many members that are much more valuable to the community than I. It's not like I'm even the ONLY scripter.

 

So, while I may provide a specific support, that is only one aspect of the community. I think, what you do, represents a broader aspect of the community, the community as a whole; and in those respects makes you a much more of a model member.

 

Just wanted to say that, I hope you get my point. In a sense, sometimes it bugs me when I get nominated; I just feel that there are a lot of other members on this forum that deserve some credit.

[Bob423 52]

you two are so modest and humble. you're all. "no, you are more worthy than I" back and forth at each other lol

[Jon Bon 43]

Heh.

I see where Kell is coming from, and I can't deny his logic. I however consider my level of contributions what should be standard and obtainable by anyone. I feel I don't deserve praise as much as others deserve shame for not giving back as much as they take (not applicable to pretty much anyone reading this). Which is why I think people like Kell, Moonpearl, ForeverZero, Heretic, Bigace (not limited to) deserve nominations for their specific unique, and likely otherwise non existent help. As well as people like Jeri3d, Justabox, (not limited to) and the other developers who although they do not frequent the forum they make sure to come back and update their products and provide customer support to our users who need their help with what was posted.

I contribute the amount I do out of a social obligation for the amount of help I receive. Receiving praise is appreciated but feels weird, like being congratulated for doing the right thing.

In reality it is a cumulative effort that makes up a community, no one part greater than another or the sum of the whole.

[Moonpearl 32]

There was a tie between ForeverZer0 and I in March.

[Marked 197]
