  • SonnyDR's youtube channel will be featured on website alongside Aznkei's since most of his reviews are coming from his Youtube Channel.
  • The awards will be handed over in time - be patient

Thank you so much for voting me as "Best Newcomer"! It really means a lot to me.

Despite the different hardships I faced in this year, one of the few things that held me together is this forum and it's members. From the first few days I felt I belong here. You are all very kind, polite and amazing and I'm glad I had the opportunity of being here! 

This year I feel it will be very promising. With some great mission packs upcoming, an amazing mod in the making (LDYOM), and a good amount of new members with good potential, like Luitger, Axoez and lascha2nd to name a few. I hope I'll provide the best I can for this community. 

Finally, congratulations to the rest of the award winners! Congratulations to both zeko and RithRake24 for winning 4 awards in one year! They deserve them without a shred of doubt!

Let's make 2021 a year to remember!

Firstly, let me congratulate all the winners of this year's awards! Your contribution to our community is highly appreciated and your awards are most deserved.

 

I am extremely humbled to be named Best Story Writer for the second consecutive year. The stories I write are not only reflective of the message I want to share with the world, but also of who I am as a person. This community and this mod have given me the gift to not only express myself but also literally play through the evolution of my character. From the rootin' tootin' cowboy shootin' story of The Fort written by a 14 year old, to the deeper struggle about finding your place in the world in Epilogue by a 20 year old. The ability to tell these stories is very valuable to me because they represent who I was, and who I am. I love this community for all its friendships, its talents, but most importantly its creativity. It is an honor to create, play and share with all of you. Thank you.

Very well deserved, mate! You caught my eye very early on as someone who could be a valuable addition to the community, not strictly as a designer but as a quality member in general. I was also impressed by the MOTW mission and the reviews you made. Also noteworthy how your conduct around the community is really good, causing others to respect you as a good member. Congratulations!

I personally see DYOM as a low-budget filmmaking/storytelling tool which further allows me to appreciate and immerse myself in your intricately designed T13 Universe. You are easily the most deserved winner for this award considering how you managed to pull of a feat of telling an overall overarching story comprised of smaller characters playing out their own story. You certainly do have skill in this department considering how your characters, especially in recent missionpacks, are well fleshed out and have their own qualities and shortcomings. An award is certainly not enough in my opinion to fully acknowledge the project that is your Universe. I hope you find time to expand the T13U even though you are getting older and growing busier with the responsibilities of life.

I'd also love to welcome @zeko to the Discord staff and also congratulate him for his entry into the elite club of Senior Designer, which is a title even I don't have yet haha. I remember The Defend of Berlin (2) being one of the first missions I played when I joined the community and I have seen Zeko's skill improve not only as a designer, especially in the department of gameplay and environment design, but also as a member. Congratulations Zeko and keep making good missions man :)

Is it weird that I'm happy (like relieved, or wholesome idfk how to describe it) seeing the award winners thanking everyone?

Wow, last year was a disaster for pretty much the whole world, so it's really nice to see something as positive as this. Thanks to everyone who voted for The Shadow Ring, I'm very thankful and humbled once again. 😀 Also congratulations to everyone else for their awards. No doubt you all deserved them! But I think everyone else deserves a thank you for keeping DYOM alive for all these years. Community as a whole is the most important thing. 😀 Hope 2021 is a much better year for everyone!

I'm hoping to get as good as many people here in the future, but who knows, you never get what you expect in the future.

Thank you so much for voting Menace 3 as Best Mission and my Old Friends Die Hard review as Best DYOM Video!

 

This is both funny and eye-opening to me, as oftentimes when i look back at missions or videos (such as Vagrants or the aforementioned review) i find myself being kinda dissatisfied by what i ended up making. I have ignored that video's existence for a year, yet it won Best DYOM Video. It made me rewatch it again, and realize it's not half bad. Lesson of the day: you should relax you italian c*nt

 

The last months were full of things to do, i got my Bachelor's degree and i started my Master's, meanwhile i'm managing a university association with some other people and trying to grow my channel a bit more. As of now i'm thinking of slowing down a bit because tiredness caught up to me, so i might do something DYOM-y, like another review or maybe remastering a fun italian mission pack i made back in the day 🌚

 

And it's really great to see how people such as @zeko and my man @RithRake24 have grown and improved 💛

 

 

Stay safe and keep kicking ass everyone, 2021 WILL be better 🤘🍀🍀

Really though, your DYOM review was top tier! It has everything a "million views" youtube video can have; High production quality, well covered subject, top notch humor.. It makes a hard competition to surpass it man! The closest one to reach it is Saturn fan's review of "Ballas Doom", while it's a great written review, I don't think it translated well into video. 

As for your mission "Menace 3" from what I remember, I chose "Rift" over it because I'm more of an infantry soldier - and com'on it was a great entry too. Nonetheless, Menace 3 was very expansive, balanced and varied it almost felt like a game of its own. 

I hope you'll be able to give us something more, given your busy schedule.
