[Split] Interpersonal affairs
Nyctaeus:
FYI all FS mods accounted on ModDB participy in the contest by the mere fact of being registered. I've seen Procyon Insurgency, The Antagonist and Shadow Genesis on the list. Some of them like BP still had a chance to be included in 2020 release of the year cathegory due to the fact of being constantly updated. That's why Crossfire was also allowed to contest.
The position of SR comes from the fact that our team invested some effort into promoting SR in the contest and SR page on ModDB are one of few [among FS mods] that's still being updated. The fact that other mod teams didn't commence such actions does not exclude other mods from contest.
So yeah, our position comes from the fact that other teams doesn't care about ModDB much. But it still does not diminish our efforts at promoting SR in the contest, nor all the hard work we put into the project... So what? The little things we won, we won legitimately. And I think SR, as modding debut was worth the votes.
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.
Mobius:
Yeah if you take a look at Twisted Infinities' profile on ModDB, for instance, it doesn't even mention the release of this mod, which occurred a while ago. These profiles are not self-maintained and uploading stuff, as well as answering to sporadic fan comments, requires time and effort.

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!
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;

This does sound a bit disproportionate to the reality to me. If something is 'astounding' it doesn't sound like something you exepected. There is no 'Best [whatever] Released in 2020' category; that's just adding filters until you're in a category of one. "Right behind Crossfire" isn't true in terms of absolute vote counts. There is no "Best Mod of the Year based o the FreeSpace Open Engine' category; that's just adding filters until you're in a category where you have the most votes.
Creating categories to declare yourself winner in is vain and silly. Placing 161 out of such a huge mod pool is actually cool and testament to an effective outreach campaign, even if I haven't seen any evidence it wasn't just HLP discord voting.
I agree with your post but it doesn't match the quoted post at all.
I'm just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing at this point, since I'm irritated you decided to call it 'naysaying'. We've already had all the conversation that needs to be had on this topic at this point.
General Battuta:
Also I have no idea what your mod is about. You need a log line.
Mobius:
We've created an entire FS Wiki portal which is linked both here and on ModDB. You can find detailed stuff such as why ship XXX has its name and where it comes from; the info is well within the reach of all users.
