I thought the TWIPY awards were just a fun thing with some pretty sketchy results in the past. This year, when Stern won for their STh UV kit instead of people like gouveia and other talented guys here who make games better in their garage, I realized my initial gut reaction was correct.

The STh UV mod isn't a mod if it was planned for the game all along--they even put installation holes in the ramps knowing it was coming. (Even though it IS super-cool.)

I feel bad for all the innovative people who really thought out ways to improve upon things in a game...or add something that was never meant to be there in the first place.

I've been in touch with Jeff ( pin2d ) and he's explained some things to me. I'd like to apologize for casting any doubt or aspersions on the Twipy awards results in post #152 above. It's too late to remove the post, but I can at least man up and say it was wrong of me to do. The guy works his ass off to make the hobby better and I should have just left it alone. Sorry, Jeff!

It was more the questioning of "sketchy" results in the past that was objectionable. I think everybody can agree the UV winning best mod this year was a little questionable.
