While We Wait: Part 3

Sorry- I'm definetly not a mod. The last two failures proved that without a doubt in my mind. I think I wouldn't have a problem actually coming up with the updates and stuff, its just that I'm waaay to lazy to commit to anything :).

Anywho, I officially place all blame for the serious delay in the arrival at this at the fact that I received more votes for 'Best Warmonger' than das, Symphony, North King, and Dachsmpg combined :(. I am so ashamed. Note: I rearranged this to make it more rewarding for the best categories ;).

[size=+2]The Best of '07[/size]
The Best New Player: Surprisingly, a three way tie ensured for the spot- Abaddon, Chandrasekhar, and Head_Serf all tied (with two votes each). Nearly every other new player was nominated, through weren't seconded.
The Best New Mod: For anyone who voted, this shouldn't have came as a surprise: with a staggering eight votes (six more than the next nominee), Birdjaguar won by a landslide. In second place, with the said two, was Head-Serf. The rest of the votes were spread out quite evenly, so no one should feel disappointed.
The Best Update: This didn't work out as I imagined, so the rules were much more lax. After I did some comparisions, Birdnes I came out as the victor of 'general' updates, through the DNES BT 1 came out the winner as the specific update.
The Best NES Map: The Greater PureNES Map took this category, with five votes. Second place fell to AFSNES.
The Best War Within a NES: The Agade Dag Wars of Religious Dominance in AFSNES won by a somewhat large margin (takign 5 votes), with the only other war to garner votes was the Catholic Wars of Birdnes (having 2votes).
The Best Alliance Within a NES: This was spread way too evenly for anyone to seriously win, as the only one to gain two votes was the Global Alliance in DaNES.
The Best Story-teller: A tie between Alex and Thlayli, with Iggy falling one vote short to make it a three-way tie.
The Best Warmonger: As sad as it may make me to make it official, Thlayli won this with a slim lead over Silver_2039: 4-3. Other nominees that managed votes were Kal'thzar, Luckymoose, and Strategos.
The Best Peacemonger: In a somewhat similar fashion, Alex beat out Iggy for this with a lead of 4-3. Nominees included TerrisH, Lightfang, and Jalapeno_dude.
The Best Diplomat: Niklas won with three votes, with other nominees including Thlayli, Kal'thzar, Shadowbound, and Symphony_D.
The Most Loyal Player: Luckymoose was the only player to gain more than one vote.
The Best Backstab: Increadibly spreadout, the only one to gain two votes was the backstab of Gorin by Croyodon.
The Most Awkward Moment There were little deviations in this and the 'Most Surprising' Category, so I combined the two. Without a doubt, with nine votes, Charles_li took this category, with 'King Ryan' (from Birdnes) coming in second with three votes.
The Most Unique Nes: In a slaughter, NESlife 3 took this category, with PureNES and ZPNES coming in second.
The Best NES: In a continuing nod to the trend, Birdjaguar took the category with Birdnes I with little competition. Other nominees with AFSNES and DNES II.
The Best of the Community: While the margin was somewhat closer than the other two categories, with contributions including a very detailed (and among the more unique) ruleset, a NES that stood strong for the greater part of a year, and finally the new attempts with Birdnes II, Birdjaguar won. Simply being himself, meaning the uber-mod, das took second, while Iggy took third for LINES II and his other more unique NESes. Finally, Symphony was nominated in fourth for his work with the maps.

As I mentioned, there were numerous nominees in almost every category, I simply didn't list every last one. Everyone in the forum was nominated for an award for something, so noone should feel bad. In general, due to the way the votes were arranged, I can honestly say that the break-out player (more of a break-out mod) was Birdjaguar.

And yes, I purposely disqualified myself for everything. Sorry- I should have made that clear. I'm hoping for a much better run next year ;).
 
A nominee of Best Warmonger? How surprising. Winner of most loyal? Very surprising.

EDIT: GameNES wasn't unique enough I guess.
 
You had two votes in both ;). Per the nature of the community, not a single other person other than you managed to gain two vote for the Most Loyal. I think that proves that I'm not the only paranoid person here :).

I've been fairly loyal in all NESes. I occasionally take advantage of this fact. Did GameNES get any votes?
 
I think that the allies that I was TOO loyal to betrayed me. ;) If I took awards seriously, a certain Portugese player should be a bit worried. :p (especially since it was more than one in a certain NES that I am thinking if) Luckily for them, I don't. I certainly agree with BJ for his awards, though I wish I had voted for some, though the voting sort of came during my time crisis.

I will say that two votes as the most loyal is quite surprising, showing how we are a very untrustworthy bunch (and for good reason).
 
Ah, I'm honored to tie for the Best New Player award. Apparently my adventures with Odrysa didn't go entirely unnoticed. ;) Having only joined in mid-September, I declined to send in any votes due to lack of knowledge of the recent history here. Still, I'm trying to keep up on some of the community threads just to get an idea of what the current trends are in NESing, and I'd like to somehow make the time to start following NESes that I don't actually have the spare time to join. Birdjaguar's looks especially interesting.
 
Wow, just wow :eek: It's a great pleasure to have gotten the Best Story-teller award (Thlayli doesn't count ;)); I admit I'm rather surprised and shocked, I always think people tend to ignore my stories since they almost never comment. I guess I have come a way from writing all those BSed patriotic stories about how great China is. :mischief:

And best peacemonger? What can I say except that it's an award made for him. I always say I'm a peacemonger, and now it's been affirmed by a democratic referendum. :D I just have to say this to the many dissidents, HA! I AM a peacemonger!

I think birdjaguar deserved everything he got, a pity he's in Baltimore right now though I'm sure he will recieve good karma for his filial piety :)
 
Did I get any vote in "Best New Player"? I hoped in that award.
 
Okay, good work, ~Darkening~.

The Best NES Map: The Greater PureNES Map took this category, with five votes. Second place fell to AFSNES.

PureNES I understand, but AFSNES doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary to me... Though I did like some of the colour choices. ;)

The Best Warmonger: As sad as it may make me to make it official, Thlayli won this with a slim lead over Silver_2039: 4-3. Other nominees that managed votes were Kal'thzar, Luckymoose, and Strategos.

Do you think I was glad to vote for him? :p But sadly, our more obvious great warmongers had, for one reason or another, failed to make much of a showing in 2007, to the best of my knowledge anyway. Still, Luckymoose has been getting much better at this in particular and in general as well. silver2039 always had a place here, and insanity aside Thlayli can do some excellent warmongering if he doesn't get a complete disaster instead.

Peacemonger? Me? Cute. :p

Yes, you have an undeserved reputation and can only clean your name by sneak-back-stabbing someone in the middle of a major war. ;)
 
Had nothing to add, had no efforts made to poll me.

The alex "peacemonger" (which continues to be an awful word on par with "blog" and whoever invented it [I will find you] should be shot) myth really needs to go down the same road as "play to win" though. Seriously. I can't believe you fools buy into the lie. It doesn't matter. You'll be fixed eventually, blue pills...

Thankyou, thankyou ;) I can be pretty sure of one vote, wonder who was my second?

w00p! Go BJ :)

Hahah, King Ryan ftw!

The Most Unique Nes: In a slaughter, NESlife 3 took this category, with PureNES and ZPNES coming in second.

Daft :hatsoff:

The Best NES: In a continuing nod to the trend, Birdjaguar took the category with Birdnes I with little competition. Other nominees with AFSNES and DNES II.
The Best of the Community: While the margin was somewhat closer than the other two categories, with contributions including a very detailed (and among the more unique) ruleset, a NES that stood strong for the greater part of a year, and finally the new attempts with Birdnes II, Birdjaguar won.

BJ, you are the reason I NES. You can take that as a good or bad thing ;)
