Snowchief’s Picks<\/U>:<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
DelPenn National is the oldest active residency in the Sim.\u00a0\u00a0 They’re the home of the red, white, and blue, raucous rhetoric and good ol’ fashioned showdowns.\u00a0\u00a0 Sometimes, they get a bum rap — the “other” residency with the group of scheming, inaccessible\u00a0old-timers.\u00a0\u00a0 Other times, they’re the braggarts — always boasting, bawdy, full of bustle and nasty punk.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
But I say Revelation’s site is a gem of the Sim and all else in its shadow.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Over the years, DelPenn National survived through the Sim’s ups-and-downs.\u00a0\u00a0Steady, stalwart, and, above all,\u00a0genuine.\u00a0\u00a0 A simple text-n-clipart site.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Sure, the hyperlinks aren’t always easy to find and you gotta log\u00a0into the Forum (what a bear!).\u00a0 They don’t have any fancy utilities, nor are they esthetically\u00a0spiffy to a webauthor’s\u00a0eye.\u00a0\u00a0And, like any other site, DelPenn shared moments on the deep end.\u00a0\u00a0 Lack of participation and energy amongst its residents that suggested a\u00a0path to the place where all defunct residencies go:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0our memories of Sim history.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
But DelPenn endured.\u00a0\u00a0 Loyal and steadfast residents who trust Jerry (revelation).\u00a0\u00a0 They\u00a0soak up the idea of a place in the Sim where they can be themselves…. or at least their silly ‘Net personalities!\u00a0\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Do you know how rare that is in the far corners of the game?\u00a0 Heck, you can’t even be that way on the game board.\u00a0\u00a0Every thing has its place, and DelPenn is one of those places.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
DelPenners, I hope you are proud of your website and the fun group of Simmers that you’re a part of.\u00a0\u00a0 You guys and gals are out there on the fringe.\u00a0\u00a0 But that’s the soul of the Sim, isn’t it?\u00a0 Defying the odds, full force online for 7+ years.\u00a0\u00a0 A rebel out there in the big bad cyberworld.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Long may you be the gem and soul of the Sim.\u00a0\u00a0 And thank you for this great day of racing, to cap off the\u00a0year’s season.\u00a0 May we all put in long hours and struggle with the publisher,\u00a0assigning articles and such next year!\u00a0\u00a0Ha! <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!\u00a0<\/DIV>
