I nominate Aqua Defense Initiative for Best Rookie Alliance.

They have grown to within 50K or so of 1 Million NS in less than 3 months and have signed several treaties with numerous alliances. If you look at the numbers I am pretty sure that you can see they are clearly incredible in this category.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the time frame of growing to near 1 mil NS

Several treaties with numerous alliances? :blink:

For best war flag.

Also tetris for friendliest alliance. I think the war flag says it all.

Yeah, we were gonna wait to release this until we actually went to war, but hey, it's CN awards time :P

Our general membership hasn't even seen it yet :o

I didn't make any lists, I fail at CN. :(

Nah.

To fail at CN you'd have to claim you were waging war against someone by ghosting them in peace mode, or bail on an alliance that just bailed you out of tens of millions in reps for waging war a for over a week after you were told to peace out, after they get mad at you for not paying a cent of your own goddamn reps, then turn around and deny that you were sent any messages and go into peace mode.

Personally, I'm relishing the fact I'm not on any lists :P Means I can still fly under the radar somewhat.

Believe me there are plenty of people who fail at CN in government. What you spoke of is more just asshattery then anything.

I too relish the fact that I can fly under the radar :P

Oh I know. I don't personally consider Methrage one of those tbh.

Still, one can fail at gov and do other useful things well, thus saving you from complete CN failure.

Random things:

* Updated as of this post. I declined a few self nominations of treaties, but if the community as a whole thinks we should allow that then just say so here. Or get someone else to post your treaty :P

* That said, I may have accidentally let a few self nominations in. If I have, point them out to me and I’ll correct it. I’m only human after all.

* If your post had more than one self-nomination, I may have just ignored your entire post (intentionally) regardless of whether there was a valid nomination.

* If you nominate someone already in the OP for a category they’re already listed for, I’m not going to like you.

* I’m not allowing Citadel as a submission for best forums since that’s under alliance categories for a reason.

* Isn’t “You know as well as I do that all alliances accept information.” From 2008? Or is that actually from this year?

* I really wasn’t planning on adding categories to keep it consistent with last year. Do you guys really want more categories? If there’s a community consensus then I can do it.

* Cheyenne: I changed the rules on I believe the second page after quickly realizing the error of my ways. So yeah, no self-nominations. I grandfathered in the first few before that.

* Jaymjaym: No

* Since this is a community effort, anyone want to make the actual awards? I’m pretty bad with graphics :P

* Flying Squirrel and Skippy: Is “Moderation feature on April Fools” really a “Game addition/change” though?

* Due to the sheer number of nominations in some categories, I’m thinking of making the top 5 move on to the final voting instead of top 3 if a category has more than 12 nominations. Comments/criticisms on that?

* For things relating to pictures (best flag, avatar, sig), should I include the actual picture in the voting thread? I’m inclined to not do that since the voting is supposed to have an aspect of popularity involved and if people don’t know the picture, then that should be a strike against the nomination winning. But again, if the community has a consensus on that I’ll defer to that consensus.

* For rule #5 (no joke threads), I’m being pretty damn lenient because it’s hard to tell to be honest. If people really think something is an utter farce, let me know and I’ll consider taking it down, but it needs to be pretty clear.

If anyone sees a mistake, let me know.

I don't think it would be a bad idea really. A large majority of the community may not be familiar with the images for the various categories, and may be voting on "alliance favoritism", rather than what actually looks best. If you need the images supplied without finding them, we can help you out.

As I made the 2008 medals isn't fair that I would make it again, others artists need a opportunity(and I'm lazy you know), I suggest you Airikr, he is very good doing medals(look his sig) among other graphics things.

;)
