I'll do it
Once again, I hate you
-
I hate you.
-
I'll just stick with this for now, its easier
-
And should Hyperion decide he doesnt want to do it this year?
-
Well you didn't have much to start with, so I guess you're right
Then again I dont have much to gain either
-
As much as you may want to run them, I think you'll find people will gravitate towards Hyperion's anyways. Rather than getting caught up with the project I would just drop it now.
Edit: Double post
Frankly, I hadn't even known he'd done this last year, and decided I'd try to make a "Bob's" (like Oscars or w/e) but I might as well do this, what have I got to lose?
-
Go with the format from last year please. It worked well and people are familiar with them. It also lets us see who reclaimed their title(s).
Too late :v

King Death II
-
In my time on Planet Bob, I must say that Tygaland has been the most influential figure that I have met with. STA is one of the few honourable alliances out there, and without them I would not be here today.
-
I've been mentioned in State of the Alliance far too much lately. I enjoyed the TIO shoutouts, the Siberian Guard promotion, but being involved in rogue attack mentions were too much
When I was first reading it I thought it said Skippy was quickly subdued by rogues... but then I looked back and was disappointed to see it said the rogues were subued.
o/ Peanut Butter

D: I thought it was Alice in Wonderland who wandered somewhere over the rainbow...
-
If STA has a treaty with Silence, then how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
o/ STA
-
Communism + Democracy = SWF?
-
As much as I wish to forget it, you were in the STA for a while also.
Hah, I remember that, you made quite a few tasteless jokes about KDII too.
-
I think the micro alliance that will be around the longest: LBA
Just because of my sociopathic dedication that we stay on Bob.
But for your question.... I'd say The Prolific Empire
