The Givers

[Alfred von Tirpitz]

As in any community, there are some that stand out be the sole virtue of giving back more than they took out. These are the community builders. Regardless of where each of these people stand on political issues, and what commitments and/or entanglements they might have, they, above all, give back to the community and make it a richer experience for all that are a part of said community.

I would like us to acknowledge and felicitate those that make the effort. Those that keep us involved.

[*]Lord Sharpe : Gone now, thanks for all the hours you are sure to have put into the most riveting periodical this planet has ever seen. Yours was the first addictive thread i encountered.

[*]Unspeakable Evil : Although i do not personally follow your thread i know a lot of people who do. Thanks for the effort and the data.

[*]Gopherbashi : The regular updates, thanks, also this is to cover all those who ever did the update to the race.

[*]PNN : Pacific News Network, or whatever it is actually named, you guys are entertaining.

[*]Schatennman : TWiP was something that was very entertaining and humorous as well, looked forward to its next issue at the time.

[*]Stumpy : Thanks for the corner.

I'd like to give shoutouts to:

*Bros and Bilrow - for forum geekery. (Also, for TOOL's forum geekery, I'd like to slip one in for FeigelInc as well, for both running and hosting it.)
*Pikachurin, Locke, Michael von Prussia, and Bobogoobo, who are the CN Wiki staff, for making sure everything gets run well there.

[color="#0000FF"]I would like to thank myself for making this game so much interesting for you lot. I can't imagine what you would do without me.[/color]

UE & Airme are genuine givers. What they give/gave has nothing to do with politics or any alternative agenda. People who had political "news corners/papers" used them for their own agendas and werent so much giving as doing something to hurt an enemy.

[Alfred von Tirpitz]

While they may have had other objectives, their publications, nevertheless were interesting and entertaining. I am sure even folks on the so called 'target' zone enjoyed these publications at some level, even if just for the humorous presentations. In any case that is my take on it, hence both TWiP and PNN are mentioned.

[LJ Scott]

I'd also like to give thanks to Rebel Virginia.

[New Frontier]

I would like to thank Jaym. Without him we would never be able to find a unifying symbol for all of CN to channel our hatred toward.

You know, I would like to thank you RV. Many don't realize what you do in terms of trying to make us interested in the game. We often see your threads and go, "lol it's just RV up to his antics again." However what those people don't realize is that by seeing the thread, posting in it and remarking on it they actually are interested. You often due this during times of peace and stagnation, you'll create your own alliance affiliation and provoke something with a larger alliance making something bigger than it really is. People pay attention, since they are bored, and comment on it. Many say this is nothing more than garbage, I on the other hand appreciate all you do.

Your fiasco with The Family, Sparta and countless others. People know it's mainly just antics, but you always find a way to make it more than just that. Call into question the Sparta's of CN and bring about people's interests.

So honestly, I do think you make the game more interesting RV.

[Feanor Noldorin]

All hail Unspeakable Evil! o/

[Believland]

Um... I'd like to thank AUT/Misr for making these polls to gauge the public opinion of things. Yeah, I like that.

I don't think there is anyone who tries to take out more than they put in, tbh :/

[Deadshot]

Many thanks to the glorious Rebel Virginia!

Also PNN because we are good like that.

[Mixoux]

UE has always been there, posting regular stat updates, for as long as I can even remember reading the CN forums.


That's dedication right there.

[Fallen Fool]

Doitzel, Moridin, Zbaldwin, Penguin and Random.

They all know why I'd thank them.

tbh, I usually stop reading a thread once he starts !@#$ting it up. I tend to see it as an indicator that the thread needs to be left to die and the issue has been settled by everyone but him and Methrage.

[JackSkellington]

I'd like to thank all the people who continue to hold the grudges they have.

[nippy]

Great thread. Thank you, guys...especially UE. God, he's been posting stats for years now.

Also, thanks to RV...you're an amazing man.

[Goldie]

I'd like to thank VenetianBlind for giving me something to root for in this game.

[Gopherbashi]

You're welcome

[Lennox]

Schat for TWiP, Sponge, Ivan, and the CN radio guys.

[Alfred von Tirpitz]

[AlfredvonTirpitz[RoK]] i missed out on Bob Janova and his wierd floating colored orbs

You missed the point by a mile. If you think I wrote all that stuff to push my agenda and "hurt" someone, you are sadly mistaken. I like to expand this community and I like to think my work has helped that happen. But you speaking of other people just spitting out random agendas is funny none the less.
