INES II: Gone is the Old Guard

[TheLizardKing]

Aha, thanks man. Feel free to join up.

Also, how are these award things gonna work? Is everyone gonna vote.. is Imago going to chose?

 

[Imago]

I was hoping everyone would organize a list, and then after the sixth update I would choose the winners of the various categories. Feel free to suggest new categories and potential award winners.

Favourite Moment: The double betrayel last turn..

 

[germanicus12]

Maybe when the NES stops after the update, I will explain how I got so lucky in the North American War.

 

[TheLizardKing]

Haha, I bet it was all a sham. It was a plot to your rise in world power..

 

[Karalysia]

Evil? Me? What is this...There's nothing evil about FEAR.

 

[TheLizardKing]

...


He speaks the truth.

 

[germanicus12]

Also, I do not think I would give Karalaysia the best Tactics award.

I do not really see what he did being construed as a tactical maneuver or attack.

Also, I would probably give the biggest rise to FEAR.

 

[TheLizardKing]

I really didn't know what to put..

 

[germanicus12]

You could put me... my tactical maneuvers in the Great North American War was nothing short of genius.

Another choice could be maybe.... Venezuela or Argentina. (Really there is no way to know for sure unless you see their battle orders or orders that ensure the survival of said country in the long run.) Therefore Imago would be the best one to make this choice.

 

[bestshot9]

Don't forget Most Successful Non-Nation (OLF , lets just give everyone their own category so we all feel special and win an award )

 

[Anonymoose]

The luckiness in the NA war came from Xavier faking his own death with psychic prowess and then betraying the fascists.

 

[Adrogans]

Um, the point of cunning is that no one knows you were doing it.

 

[Anonymoose]

Who was cunning?
I think the awards idea is a pretty good one, and I distress that this NES is seeing its potential end so soon.

 

[Adrogans]

That is the point only the mod knows.

 

[Abaddon]

Don't forget Most Successful Non-Nation (OLF , lets just give everyone their own category so we all feel special and win an award )

Haha, no its not!

Anyway, Imago has to do the awards, he is the only one who saw all the orders, knows whats going on in the background etc.

I'll try to compile the list shortly.. meanwhile, we still have another set of orders, and another update.. is noone thinking diplomacy, or is everyone being silly and going all out war for the final update?


WHY WHY WHY?

This hopefully will just be a hiatus, we don't need to kill this nes with a silly update!

 

[Crezth]

Giving awards for a six-update NES seems a little pointless in my opinion. That's like having a cake, and then eating one slice, and being like "good job everyone!" and doling out awards based on who had what part of the small and unsatisfying slice. The only award that's appropriate for this time frame is "Best Short-Term Plans" because it's the only thing that can effectively be judged. (That's FEAR, by the way, like it or not.)

Another metaphor is stopping a soccer/football game one third of the way through, looking at the points, and determining the best players from that.

Not to rain on the parade or anything. It just seems awfully self-serving.

 

[Anonymoose]

Crezth is right. We should just treat the NES like it's not actually ending.

 

[Circuit]

Crezth is right. We should just treat the NES like it's not actually ending.

Ditto. Good illustration, Crezth. My sentiments.
