JalNES I Awards
Player Awards:
Winner: Tie between Andis-1 and TerrisH. Andis-1 managed to constantly expand, taking Ur from a speed bump for the Medes to the undisputed greatest power in the world. TerrisH made Atyria a great economic power, and one that could have succeeded in almost any direction it chose to go.
Best Player: The Farow. He created a powerful northern empire that defeated all threats.
Most Persistant Player: Luckymoose, for not giving up or switching nations.
Least Persistant Player: Tie between Azale and Swissempire.
Most Innovative Player: TerrisH--the only one to take full advantage of research and projects, and one who actively tried to exploit the rules.
Best Unsung Leader: LittleBoots--he built Eirehann into quite a power, and survived everything I threw at him.
Most Agressive Player: Andis-1. He invaded Egypt, the League of the Sea Peoples, and Magan. Alex994 is a close second.
Least Agressive Player: Adherence, who never showed any sign of agression. He even tried to peacefully incorporate the barbarians.
Best Orders: Birdjaguar. Absolutely amazing defense orders for Update 18, and he really did a lot of research to find out geography, etc.
Best New Player: Littleboots. This was his first NES ever, and right away he was acting like a pro.
Best Storywriter: Tie between LittleBoots and North King. But honorable mention should go to Dachsmpg--I loved his story!
Luckiest Player: Azale--you would have been destroyed last turn, but ~Darkening~ decided to throw his nation into civil war.
Unluckiest Player: Tie between North King and Lord_Iggy, both of whom would have prospered if not for andis.
Most Cunning Player: Birdjaguar, with his spy networks and carrier pigeons. He especially shone on his first assault against the League of the Sea Peoples.
Evilest Player: No one was *that* evil, so I'll just give it to andis-1 for his crushing of Eden.
Most Inquisitive Player: Alex994. Multiple PMs of questions every update.
Most Suicidal Player: Neverwonagame2.
