Are you going to apologize, or is your commitment to civility one-way
i thought this was fair enough but the fact that these aren't official award categories and you actually placed number 161 and had to basically restrict the selection to find any reason to call yourself number 1 is really pretty pathetic :/
LMFAO, says a guy who does not contribute :wakka: :wakka:
wait with my personal opinion until the awards are fully disclosed.
I am not. I have merely suggested that I am withholding publicly commenting on the result itself until it's been officially disclosed (which is reasonable to say that it has been, in case of Series Resurrecta).
For one, that's because I'm not necessarily personally invested into the project, therefore I'm not anticipating the results with extreme fascination, but that's a "me" thing. I understand the feelings you have towards the project and its reception, that you absolutely need reassurance that your creation is done well and That's why I have a couple more reasons.
Three, I am of a general belief that such awards are a contest of popularity, not quality. Therefore I have decided that if I wanted to check whether the mod is worthy of awards, I would simply download and play it. Popular vote means nothing more than a suggestion to me.
It may be a small win, with small smiles it caused on our faces. We never expected even Top100, being the niche community modding niche game. I doubt if even the largest mods here like Inferno or BP would realistically count on some very high note, if they decide to invest serious efforts into the contest. Meanwhile we counted on small victory important mostly for us, and we achieved what we counted on. People expressing naysaying opinions sounds like expectations of SR team are disproportionate towards the reallity.
On behalf of the SerRes Team I'm proud to announce to the public the astounding results of Series Resurrecta (https://www.moddb.com/mods/series-resurrecta) in ModDB's Mod of the Year Awards, 2020 Edition.
As you all probably know, this is a rather niche genre so we did not expect an overall major result in a world that is dominated by RTS and FPS games, but within the Futuristic Sim / Sci-Fi genre, we achieved the following results. Again, thanks for voting SerRes!(https://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/48/47552/kn_banner.png)1) Best Futuristic Sim / Sci-Fi Mod of the Year released in 2020;
2) Second Futuristic Sim / Sci-Fi Mod of the Year, right behind Crossfire, a 2015 Freelancer mod;
3) Best Mod of the Year based on the FreeSpace Open Engine;
4) Overall, 161st out of 43,950 mods hosted by the website;

SR, from limbo to release
At what point does it become "too late" to release a mod or project? One week, a couple of months, three years? What about 4965 days, 22 hours, 1 minute, and 53 seconds? Well, listen to Series Resurrecta's story. On March 13th, 2007, at precisely 10:22pm, I started working on a campaign that was meant to be an unofficial expansion for Inferno Alliance Standalone, the upgrade to the main INFA release which was also meant to feature a number of satellite campaigns, each with its own story.
Many years have passed since then, and so many things have happened. Recently, I managed to recover these old files and save them from oblivion. Soon afterwards, I also managed to group a team of devoted contributors, and we worked together on getting this stuff in working conditions. Now, what has officially become the SerRes Team is proud to announce the release of two campaigns, Gehenna's Gate and The Spirit of Ptah, plus the modpack which will serve as root for future releases. You're right - this is just the beginning of this "resurrection" effort!
What's in SerRes-1.0.6?
The first release of SR features two campaigns, Gehenna's Gate [GehG] and The Spirit of Ptah [TSoP], as well as the main SR modpack, which will be shared by future releases. Both campaigns are grouped under the Shadows of the Great War brand.
What's featured?
- Two campaigns, comprised of 14 missions;
- Revamped versions of pre-existing models;
- Detailed fiction texts adding extra lore to the FreeSpace continuity;
- Exclusive soundtracks created by professional artists;

I always wanted to have such thing. This is the place where all of the updates regarding our upcoming projects set withing SR setting will be congregated. Usually with some [I hope so] pretty pictures or walls of text? Well, we will see.
The first post of this development blog is also available on the Official Series Resurrecta Profile on ModDB.
I'm Nyx, right? My job is to keep things shiny :]. So I have several shiny things for you!
I'm happy to announce, that development of third campaign set within the setting of Series Resurrecta is being launched. Although we still work on improvements on Gehenna's Gate and The Spirit of Ptah, we also have modpack required for the third installment mostly assembled. Mobius begun freding of M01, and in the meantime I assemble some cosmetic things which are not critical but certainly nice to have :].
The title of the next campaign is classified, but so far I will refer to this project as: Srdp
I can officially reveal, that the next campaign will feature several, original factions. Some of them are canon, others are not. Some of them are terran, others are not. The first two I can reveal are: Adhara Coalition - one of major, terran blocks formed after the collapse of GTA. Player character is a pilot in service of Adharan Navy, onboard ACD Uhuru. The second faction is Regulus Syndicate. As a small reminder, both are canon to Freespace universe just like Luyten New Alliance and Antares Federation.
One of the staples of Series Resurrecta is large and fancy modpack, featuring several, new, carefully picked classes of starships. Srdp is no different in this regard, and as your local provider of polygons covered in shiny bitmaps, I feel obliged to not disappoint you :].
So let's start with Adhara Coalition assets:

Now we look homeward. The GTVA 14th Battlegroup will spearhead the effort to re-establish contact with Earth.Which tells me exactly nothing about content of BP, but "it's about the same stuff as every other post-capella campaign". Rest is a list of features and generic advertisement battutaspeech. I wrote tons of similar stuff in my life... What's the situation of Series Ressurecta? It's exactly the same.
Just like input, feedback or meritoric critique of every human being in the world.
I do feel I've kind of dragged the energy here down a bit.
My point made rather dickishly
It's actually a really good and important point that needs to be made. Almost no one is good at pitching stories. It's a skill that has to be learned and practiced.

I agree! Please try to make it constructively and in a way that doesn't put the person you're trying to make the point to on the defensive!
It was a good and important suggestion the first time it was mentioned in a civil fashion. Right now it's mostly just hammering in the nail even more without ever accepting anything but an immediate and full surrender to your "suggestion".
Treat others like you want to be treated, yes?
