Wishing all a Happy New Year! If 2008 gave us the FAR/FARR/STR , what will 2009 give? Thanks to all you modders who have been involved with some of the coolest additions to an "abandoned" game, without folks like you , none of us would probably still be playing! And thanks David , for some wonderful insight into your life with the pics you've shared through out the year , and especially the help you , and many others have given me...I've learned a lot from ou all! So , tomorrow morning , hopefully no one will look like this....

Heres to a great new year !

Jayson

Oh, and my guess was WAYYYYYY off!

[Pozzessed]

It's twenty past 2008 here now and I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone, I hope this year is even better than the last for you all.
Thanks David for the honour of working with you I never dreamed I would be sitting here everyday to see what's new in the 3RR when I bought the game about 3 years ago. We owe a great deal to you David and this thread

Stepping out of lurk mode to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I have peeked in here often, but this is my first post. I love it here!

Kendra

EDIT:  Kendra, thanks so much for doing that.  As often as I see your nic here, it's great to finally include you among the 3RR Regulars. -DE

[Olasz]

well, technically it's already tomorrow, but practically for me it's still today where the no lurk rule applies. wish you a happy new year

[Elektra]

Ok, I will quit lurking from here on the East Coast.  Only three more hours till the New Year here.  Till then...I will wish everyone here at 3RR a "Happy and Healthy New Year".

Luv-n-Hugs

Great to see all the lurkers coming out of the shadows! 

We're now 16 hours into 2009 here in NZ. It's 19 degrees Celcius at the moment, but it feels way hotter as I'm in the process of moving house (again), which is very sweaty work...

I just wanted to say a big thank you, David, for all your hard work in 2008. We've been so spoiled with all these new toys to play with. Can't wait to see what's in store for the coming year. 

Hope everyone has (or had) a fun and safe New Year's!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE (2 hours left in 2008 on Central time USA). David, I know how you feel with all of this cold weather as here in Southeast Wisconsin temps today reached a high of 20 degrees F with wind chill about 0 F most of the day with all sun. I do hope that the next year will bring in more new stuff from 3RR. Enjoy and party safe and drive home safe and see all of you next year. JKB

[beutelschlurf]

Allright, here in germany its 5.45 in the morning and i wish you a happy new year, to everybody in 3RR and elsewhere in SC4D

Juhu....!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frdrcklim]

Funny while I'm reading this, it's still 2008 in SC4D website when I've already had 12 hours and 53 minutes of 2009 .

[thundercrack83]

It's 1:00 AM in Pennsylvania...

Happy New Year, David!

Here's to 2009--2008's going to be hard to top, but I know you've got it all under control!

Take care, my friend!

Dustin

[deathtopumpkins]

Well it appears I really screwed up my math on my prediction! 

Happy New Year 3RR! We're officially 79 minutes into 2009 here, but 3RR's Central Time, right? 

[Jmouse]

We're about 20 minutes into 2009 (CST). Thank you for making 2008 a special year for us in 3RR, David. Things can only get better now.

Happy New Year to all...
Joan

[threestooges]

Still 2008 over here on the west coast, but it should be 2009 in 3RR. Happy New Year David. Thanks for another amazing year, and here's to many more to come.

Why, our new friend and 3RR Regular^* Korot!  Only 37 off- considering how far we were away when these guesses were made, that's accuracy to within a little more than one-half of one percent.  That's pretty amazing.  Oh, dtp- you are now, as well as being a true friend, appointed 3RR's Official Optimist.

I'm off to bed, folks, having made sure the new year arrived safely in Alaska, having started just west of here across the Date Line first thing this morning.  Thank you one last time for a truly great 2008!


David

^*  3RR Regulars, besides being excellent guessers, are folks who have posted at least once here or over at 3RR-ST.

Happy New Year, David. I hope 2009 is healthier, happier, and less stressful than 2008 for you.

I've been more of a lurker this year, the whole career and volunteer and social parts of life get in the way of SC4 a bit...

Send my best to your family.

Cheers,
Kevin

LoL. Superoptimist. That's the spirit  .

Happy New Year or, as you use to say in German, guter Rutsch (good slide )!
The situation in Austria ia quite the same as in the Netherlands, -5°C and about four and a half hour until the turn of the year now.

It started raining yesterday evening, but it froze right away on the streets, so I had a "good slide" indeed. I was out for a New Year's party and had to stay there overnight because everything was slippery. Got home again at 12 AM today, after using a good amount of salt on the yard and sidewalk to get on the street again (which was fortunately ice-free).

[Lmac]

happy new years everybody
can't wait to see what the community will do with the game in the next 12 months
