You know I find it hard to resist these challenges, but I think I'll leave it up to someone else this time. I have to say though, the second part proves to be an interesting part to ponder.

EDIT: Matt, my great friend, you've won a couple of these. Thanks for being such a great part of 3RR over the years. -de

I think I'll do the same ... do recognise most of them

good luck to the winner or winners

EDIT: You are forever gracious, Cathy. -de

Hmmm

Here we go: (SPOILER, do not read if you want to try your hand at this little game )

1 - girlfromverona
2 - Bakerton
3 - JoeST
4 - Thundercrack83
5 - Pat
6 - Badsim
7 -
8 - Ryan B
9 - Rayden
10 - CalibanX
11 - Tarkus

As for the second question, i'll think about it today ~ I don't have any idea at the moment.

EDIT: I see a couple of points where your guess falls short, Arthur. You obviously have excellent knowledge of your friends' avatars, though. -de

jdenm8 · January 11, 2012, 11:10:28 PM

I can't possibly name all the nics (Though I do know some), but I do think I know how they're related... They all contributed to RAM Phase 1 / are RAM Team members?

EDIT: Nope, jd. Oh, and you can make as many guesses as you want in either part. -de

MandelSoft · January 11, 2012, 11:32:42 PM

Lemme guess: These people all have one tile in the 3RR collaboration project from a few years ago?

riiga · January 12, 2012, 01:47:11 AM

Matching all the avatars wasn't that hard, but to be honest, I have no idea what they all have in common (apart from being long-lasting members of the community). I'll guess: they've all posted in 3RR from the start? (2007 on this site IIRC).

jmdude1 · January 12, 2012, 02:04:28 AM

i will guess that theyve all made comments during each year of 3RR's existance.

metarvo · January 12, 2012, 05:48:28 AM

Did they all make comments during 3RR's first year?

EDIT: That, my friend, is a true statement. Not the complete answer, but true nonetheless. -de

dedgren · January 12, 2012, 08:34:23 AM

Felix (riiga) and jmdude1 are the winners! More in a bit after I'm up and around.

David

EDIT: RL caught up with me with a vengeance yesterday. I'll be getting those memberships in place and some info up about our 19 most regular 3RR Regulars over the next 24 hours or so. -de

dragonshardz · January 12, 2012, 08:55:54 PM

Oh, hi there.

I'm still here now and then. Been doing other things lately.

>.>

<.<

I'm going to hazard a guess that I was featured in the contest 'cause I kept the Double-0 list up to date?

Yikes, speaking of which...I don't think I've updated it since before I went off to college O.o

EDIT: Patrick, trust me, all is forgiven. I'll get to that. Thanks for being such a great friend of 3RR, and welcome to your sixth straight year of posting here. -de

calibanX · January 12, 2012, 10:02:39 PM

I love your work on the TTR wide radius rail curves David. Your train of innovation just keeps on rolling (keeping the puns going). When I started my city journal a few years back I had been inspired by the content that I was finding on the LEX. I loved the amazing innovation I saw in 3RR, the attention to detail I saw in CJ's like Shadow Assasin's Whitefall, Iridar and by the maps I saw in yours, JBSimio's and Battlecat's journals to name a few. It's these great game-changing ideas that bring me back and make me want to play the game. Sorry for the long absence. My New Year's resolution is to lurk no more. I've got a lot of time on my hands for the foreseeable future and I'm jazzed to use all the new game content.

Happy New Year!

Geoff

EDIT: Getting that sixth year of posting here under your belt right away, eh Geoff? You are too kind with the great words- I'll do my best to have 3RR live up to them in 2012. -de

its amazing that after so many years this thread still brings people back. awesome work on the TTR....its the the NWM on rails!

GMT · January 13, 2012, 03:34:43 AM

trust me, noone on this list has posted in 3008

and where's my reward for the lurkingest lurker to the sc4d? $:-\$

EDIT: Torben, it's great to see you at 3RR again! I'll reward you for all that lurking by adding you as a 3RR Fact Checker. It's you sharp-eyed folks who keep me on the straight and narrow. I fixed my mistake, and appreciate the help, my friend. -de

art128 · January 13, 2012, 03:37:07 AM

Congrats, Riiga and Jmdude1!

Looking forward to the next TTR previews, David.

dedgren · January 13, 2012, 08:49:12 PM

Heh!

More TTR coming up later tonight. Watch this space. I'll catch you up on the most regular of the 3RR Regulars^*, as well.

UPDATE: Eight more hours into this.

Phew! Off to bed. As it's the 14th now in Alaska, Happy Birthday, SC4!

David

^* A 3RR Regular, of course, is anyone who has posted in the thread here or over at 3RR-ST at least once.

carlfatal · January 14, 2012, 04:06:47 AM

Oh my, what a huge thing! I remember a junction of two mainlines in Chicago: it looks pretty the same. Although it´s not finished this switch looks awesome. I want it...no, i need it. And i know i have to play American style with endless trains on heavy tracks. The only thing i wish for now is someone would make a BAT of the big boy so then i can run trains with hundred ore cars.

If someone says this game would be an old one i´ll only laugh about. Old is something standing still but what i see in SC4 is movement pure, not only here in 3RR but Your work is a part of this wonderful new game i´ve rediscovered only two years ago.
Greetz, Carl

art128 · January 14, 2012, 04:14:23 AM

that's one huge intersection, David!

Heh I was trying to wonder what the heck I could have done that was notable XD Well it's been a true honour to spend time lurking and occasionally posting David, you consistently post amazing and beautiful things, and I'm a sucker for technical stuff

Speaking of the nerdery, I totally hacked your competition ¬.¬ the URL's for each of the avatars contains the user ID, which can be used to go to their profile page..

Thank you for acknowledging my lurking skills

lol

Silur · January 14, 2012, 08:06:23 AM

3RR - is my favourite from beginning ...
Sometimes I think - no David - no my minds about SC4 ...
David, Thank YOU very much ... Be happy ...
Nicks.

Nexis4Jersey · January 14, 2012, 08:16:37 AM

Ive probably asked this before but i don't remember...but david do you think can make a 3rd Rail skin for the Railways? There are some examples below...
