Yes, purchasing the Almanac is like a donation. It's only available through Subsim here at this time.

One more question Neal. What do I have to write/give besides the money if I want to order by the USPS (Ground Mail)? And do I have to write anything? Or do I just put the money in an envelope? Also, do you give return change?:lol:

If you are going order by mail, simply include your name and address, and request a copy of the Almanac. Send a check or money order, if possible. I accept cash in the mail but I prefer checks/MO.

...and heck, most of you have either bought the Almanac or probably will sooner or later :ping:

Count ol' McBee in!

I am only slightly excited about SH4!

Just like LOST, there is a hidden clue in this photo, taken 10 min ago.:know: :hmm:

But, since guys like Kapitan and Konovalov were in the first group to order but are still waiting for the mail boat to dock, I am going to expand the scope of this contest, to ensure you all get a fair chance to participate.

Since we have at this point had exactly three guys post their smiley faces, and they are the three who win the first three prizes, this should be okay with everyone, right? Those three guys won the "first post wins" part of this event.

So, the 2007 Submarine Almanac contest will now be open to all participants, contributors and purchasers alike. The deadline is extended to April 10, 2007.

No rush, whether you now have your copy of the great Subsim book or are still waiting, even those who decide to order now (and ship priority/airmail). Just get the coolest, most interesting picture of yourself and your copy of the Almanac (no photoshop fakes, please) in this thread. Like Konovalov said, have the picture take at a historic landmark, on a battleship, submarine, in costume, skydiving, in your bathtub (please be sure to have plenty of bubbles in the right places!), alongside a famous person, favorite loved one, etc.

The picture will be judged by a panel composed of me, a WWII submarine officer, a nuclear submarine commander, a best selling submarine author, and a noted game designer. The picture we vote as the best, will win....

...a copy of SUPER COLLECTOR'S EDITION SILENT HUNTER 4!
This package is one of the 3000. Unopened, with all the goodies.

Prize details

Even if you have to buy a copy of the 2007 Submarine Almanac today, you will be happy to learn that no submarines were harmed in its production, and so far, everyone who has it tells me it is great reading and a wonderful souvenir of the 10th Anniversary of Subsim, our happy little home on the web. :)

First three runnerups will win Subsim swag (mug, shirt, or mousepad).

So, get your brain in gear, start planning to win this prize, it could be sitting on your desk real soon!

Good hunting!
Neal

Fan friggin tastic. Thanks Neal and great idea. :up: :rock: :rock:

I got paid today so I grabbed a copy before the wife can ask - "What the hell did you buy NOW?"

Little back ground: The guy looking at the camera is the Leading Petty Officer for Submarine School Restriction and the guy reading is me, the Leading Petty Officer for Transient Personnel Unit at Submarine School. The picture is taken in the Damage Control Wet Trainer located at Submarine School, Groton CT. Thank god my buddy didn't turn on the flange leak or we would be getting new copies of the Subsim Almanac. As it was that was just one leak of many that he could have activated but in the interest of keeping my camera safe and dry he kept his sub humor in check. I must also give credit to the guy taking the photo who is a Aviation Structural Mechanic who was nervous being in a room that floods. Guess not a true submariner at heart. ;)

Oooh, nice one! :yep:

I ordered mine, can use the time it takes to get here to work on ideals of how to setup the pic.

I live in Finland, so it might take a while until the Subsim Almanac surfaces from my mail box :shifty:
And the fact that I ordered the Almanac today and not weeks ago, won't help it coming faster either.

I also pre-ordered the so called "normal" collector's edition of SH IV from Finnish webshop some days ago and I'm waiting it too... and since it went to gold, I'm kinda hoping it would be at shops and at my hands soon.

So "slow days" at the moment. Fortunately I have just received "Iron Coffins" -book by Herbert A. Werner and I shift between reading it and playing SH3 :D

I got my Subsim mug yesterday. It rocks! Thanks Neal!

Do I get another prize if I take a picture of the mug?:lol:

Hold them both up, maybe it will win the grand prize... :hmm:

hi neal,
Yhanks for the reply,received your book last saturday,great
book still reading it, keep it up.
I took these photos at the royal navy submarine museum in Gosport
Hampshire England. The big black thing in the background is hms alliance
(could do with a paint job) and the others are of the E17 conning tower and me
(yes, I know you call it the sail); this was a ww1 boat which was sunk,
and other one is of the P and O class which
I was on for 20 years out of my 22 in the royal navy.

hope you like them,

all the best,
Arkroyal

ps two types of ships in the royal navy submarines and targets

Thanks, mate!
