5th November 2010 - RWDecal is 1 year old!
A Tribute to the Community

To celebrate the 1st birthday of RWDecal, we've teamed up with UKTS to offer some extra special prizes for those individuals who have most benefited the train simulator community. We hope to encourage individuals to become positively involved and give thanks to the many individuals who have done so already.

If you would like the chance of a free RWDecal License, a free item of DLC from Steam or premium membership at UKTS then read on:

All you need to do is email birthday@rwdecal.co.uk before midnight on Wednesday 10th November 2010 with information on how you or the person you are nominating has contributed to the train simulator community. You can nominate upto two individuals.

Examples of great community involvement might include offering support and help on forums, providing free content to the community etc. It can be for any simulator on any web site / forum. It doesn't have to be recent. The person who helps beginners with the basics is no less worthy for nomination than someone who builds a 90 mile route with awesome stock. The nominations can be for freeware developers, forum posters, commercial producers etc. It is for anyone who is part of the train simulator community. We all enjoy the same hobby and by working together we build a better community.

Once the nominations have closed (midnight Wednesday 10th November 2010) a poll will be created on the UKTS forums so that members can vote for who they think has made the greatest contribution to the train simulator community. As there is a poll limit of 100 on the UKTS Forums, if there are more than 100 different people nominated then we'll do our best to find the top 100 people that were nominated and they will be the ones included in the poll.

The poll will be made available on Friday 12th November and voting will close at midnight on Friday 19th November. The prizes, based on the community votes, will be awarded as follows:

The Top 10 In the Poll
The top 10 individuals in the poll will receive a free RWDecal license. If the individual already has a license then UKTS have generously offered to exchange the license for 3months premium subscription to UKTS. For those who have not got into RailWorks yet, you may exchange your RWDecal license for an MSTS community CD priced at £4.70.

In addition to this, the following prizes will be awarded:

1st Place

• 1 item of RailWorks 2 DLC from the Steam catalogue (donated by RWDecal)
• 12 months premium subscription to UKTS

2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Place

• 1 month premium subscription to UKTS

This competition is intended to encourage positive involvement in the train simulator community and thank those who have already made a significant contribution. The poll will be held on the UKTS forums so that votes are limited to 1 vote per UKTS member but nominations can be for any individual, on any forum / web site.

I appreciate that there are hundreds of people who have done a huge amount for the community over a long period of time and this kind of competition can't really hope to get out to all the right people. I hope that the gesture of thanks will be appreciated and equally I extend my thanks to everyone who does whatever they do to help the community. The ultimate prize for the work everyone does to help each other is that we all grow, build a better community, build more wonderful add-ons and so forth.

Remember, the person you help with the basics today could be the person whose route you are running a couple of years from now.

Enjoy

A brief update. The nominations are going well. We have had quite a few which just shows how many people in the community are working away making things better for all of us.

The nominations close on Wednesday 10th November at midnight so if you have made any nominations yet there is still time.

Thanks to everyone who has made the effort to nominate someone and thanks to the whole community for supporting each other.
