Re: *windowed* SE4, running on windows!
Kwok already gave Fyron one.
The imbalance arises from an award given for service to a community from someone who is not the community, but only a part of it.
(This has nothing to do with who got the awards; I agree with all of them).
It is simply that community service awards should be given by the community. It doesn't make sense, otherwise.
What you have, otherwise, are "Kwoks' awards for service to the community". Which doesn't make much difference, but that is not to say that it doesn't fit what is happening better.

Re: *windowed* SE4, running on windows!
I did call it "Captain Kwok's Community Service Award" which I believe matches up with what you are saying.  |

Re: *windowed* SE4, running on windows!
Well, then, Fyron is definitely wrong.
Which, really, is all that matters.

Re: *windowed* SE4, running on windows!
Doesn't that actually prove my point? They are community service awards given by Kwok, as opposed to given by community vote... I was never arguing for the "balance" or validity of such awards, just that they don't intrinsically require being given by the community. Unless you want to argue semantics over the term "community service award..."
Perhaps we should consider not clogging SJ's thread up anymore?

Re: *windowed* SE4, running on windows!
Aww, but clogging up threads is what I do! OT FTW!
Eh. But I can stop clogging this one.

Re: *windowed* SE4, running on windows!
Any way to turn that off?
It sucks: SE4 does not re-draw nicely (flickers partly-drawn over the screen until it stabilizes), and the log window will be hidden behind the main SE4 window, means you have to click on "Space Empire IV" in the taskbar twice to make it appear .. each turn.
