Well you can't be faulted for that.I was using Trainz TS12 and not hanging on the forums.

Has N3V thought of boosting the moderator numbers so it doesn't all fall on you?

From recollection, there are around 6-7 moderators on here, but it's a question on when they are actually on the forums - most of the time, it's either John, Ian, or AJ that end up dealing with problems.

They have actually. It's just I have a bit of insomnia due to changes in my condition, so I stay online from 11:00 am till 2:00 am and usually stay up to at least 4:00.
I'm also pretty reactive too when I receive a request email. I usually jump right away before things begin to fester.

Whoever gets this placement needs to be equipped with bloody great boots, so that they can give those at N3v a soddin' kick up the rear.
This sim is a mess, with no one seeming to take any interest in putting it right before starting yet another venture that's will fail just as
the previous cocked up versions have.

Don't worry - if N3V do confirm the position, I will make sure something happens, along with the other members. I've got some previous issues with TS12 anyway that I'm going to be watching out for anyway.

I think these ought to be standard issue for all the Pioneer Council members. I went out on an extra limb for this and cut into my already tight pensioner's budget, contrary to what some people had posted here. We're not all rolling in the dough.
John
Agreed, which is why I would like to take Mr. Turner up on his offer and object to his nomination, as he's easily the least qualified Trainzer in this regard. The last thing we need is every N3V suggestion rubber-stamped. However, the reason I didn't object earlier is, again, because it's Wawasoo slot and Wawasoo's decision, and we have to respect that. I can hope the other 27 people will bring balance to TPC, but we'll see.
P.S. I'll probably get banned for taking Mr. Turner up on his offer to object...even though I'm officially not...

I would like to also congratulate Shane for volunteering for the Council seat. Can always use a familiar voice when working with NV3. And another thanks to wawasoo for his pledge and donating his seat at the council. He has my utmost respect for his unselfish deed.
I agree this should be an issue we all should keep in mind. I was on that limb, too, John; being a pensioner myself it does dent the old budget. Sometimes people just can't see that.

Don't forget though RRSignal - there are several qualities that help when it comes to things like that, and I'm sure that I've got a good chance of working with the other members to make the next version good (I may even be able to do something about the DRM side of things if I'm lucky). I have no problems with people objecting though.

Congrats to shaneturner12 on his prospective membership of the Pioneer Council, I don't object but he wouldn't be my choice for reasons stated in previous posts, but it's happened ( or about to happen ).
I would like to ask some questions about the Pioneer Council:
1. Do we all get to know who is in the Pioneer Council?
2. Have these people who have 'bought in' to be members done so for the prestige alone, or do they feel that they have something to contribute?
As the Pioneer Council is an important 'upper echelon' position with seemingly great influence over the future of Trainz, perhaps each Pioneer Council member should introduce him/her self and give us a brief reason why they wanted to be on the Pioneer Council.

I believe on one of the kickstarter email updates, all the pioneer council members were introduced. About the more information part, I'm not sure if N3V is going to post the "about me" but from what I've seen the other folks are all very dedicated to making the game better.
I don't recall receiving that email.
I, for one, have no problem introducing myself to you all. I joined the council to not only help fund the development of T:ANE, but to use my experience in railroad operations to advance Trainz to the next level if I can. I am not a content creator, but I have done reskinning for this and other train sims, so I do understand some of the inner workings of this sim. As far as my railroad experience goes, I spent 43 years working for the CB&Q, BN, and BNSF Railway as a Conductor, Brakeman, Locomotive Hostler, Yard and Mainline trains, and a Remote Control Locomotive Operator.
I am well versed in CTC (Centralized Traffic Control), ABS (Automatic Block Control), and TWC (Track Warrant Territory, commonly called "Dark Territory"). I also understand Train Handling, Tonnage, Dynamic Braking, Waybills, and other operating practices. I also understand all signal indications and their various uses and aspects.
So, even though I'm not into content or asset creation, I wanted to join this group to be able to hopefully input some of my practical railroad experience to NV3 and maybe help make the game as realistic as it can possibly achieve.
This is why I spent my hard earned pension funds; I may not be able to create many things to be able to share with you all, but if some of my ideas get implemented into T:ANE then I can feel I have finally made some kind of contribution to you all.

It's an update on the Kickstarter Page, Meet the Council, scroll down for the list https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-new-era-create-drive-operate-sh/posts/673518
As you personally wish but I personally feel it's not just about the money, it's also about the person. Hopefully they're all wanting to improve Trainz and making it 'fit' for the future.
Thanks, I must have missed that update. Doesn't appear to be a complete list though.

I know I definitely want Trainz to be the best it can be (improving it in the process), given the problems I've had with TS12 and previous versions.

Most of the time I refrain from threads where bickering is implied, but in this case congrats Shane, I'd say, stiff upper lip and go for it. :hehe:
You've done a lot to help people getting to grips with their hobby the past years that it's only fair to have a say in their trainz future as well.
