PLEASE DO NOT DELETE CATEGORIES YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR; JUST SKIP IT/LEAVE IT BLANK
(helps with my macro; otherwise I gotta manually do it in which case I'll probably just skip your nomination(s).


Please use respond to this thread with your nominations for CN Awards, the categories are below for your reference!

When submitting nominations to forum topics/posts just submit the link to the post as well as a sentence or two as to why they would be a good nomination. Thank you.

Rules to keep in mind once voting starts:
- One Entry per person -- Duplicate entries under the same name will result in the SECOND submission to be counted (as some events still may occur between now and Jan 1st). All unverified ballots will be considered void.
- You MAY NOT vote for your alliance/self in categories once voting starts -- Keep that in mind when doing these nominations. All self votes will be considered void You can, however, vote for your allies or abstain from voting on certain categories.

Common Questions (carrying over from last years):
 

 


Are we including mergers as part of rookie alliances?


Yes.
 

 


Can you nominate yourself or your own alliance. (not planning on it, just wondering)


Yes. But voting for them is not allowed once voting starts, see rules in OP.
 

 


Will my vote/nomination be connected to my name?


No. The beauty is that it's completely anonymous if you wish for it to be, you can PM me if you just don't want the public to see them; or you can make up a fake email and email them to UnknownSmurf@gmail.com
 

 

For the "Most Missed Player (Player that has gone inactive/quit)" category; does the player have to be completely inactive?


Not at all! Players that have seriously cut back on their activity are encouraged to be nominated for this category.

IF you are worried about your privacy you can PM them to me here, my CNtel account (same name), or my email UnknownSmurf@gmail.com

He's got some super secret top-notch security !@#$ like last year  :mellow:

I am going to naturally have to declare that i do not trust him to moderate this. 

 

what is there to prevent him from trying to fudge the results. personally, there should be a board of judges handling maintaining fairness.

While I'd be fine with Smurf handling it, I'm not surprised that someone mentioned this, and I'm sure several people might agree with you. However, judging from the replies thus far, it seems the annual awards have lost any interest and/or credibility they may have once had, though I guess the naysayers always label it a popularity contest, which admittedly it must be to a significant extent. If nothing else, the annual awards serve as a decent guidepost as to the direction the winds of change have blown throughout Plant Bob's history, as we can track the winners, various reputations, and which AAs hold the favor of the majority (of active public forums users). At any rate, it's a tradition that I think is worth continuing, and part of that tradition is the accompanying heckling. Heh.

You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be... You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.

Best War Flag: can I submit an entry for the GPA war flag? We don't actually have one, but we had some proposals in August (then we got distracted, as usual).

 

 

 

I am proud of my Darkness Dove and I want just an excuse to show it.
