RAIDERCON 2023: A NEW FRONTIER

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Wonder how many times Unibot will be nominated

gameplayers who they believe have made an outstanding contribution to raiding.

Well, it doesn't say raiders, and if someone can prove that efforts by said player contributed to raider operations *not* being liberated....

I think sufficient evidence exists somewhere of Unibot distracting Defenders from Defending .

[Benevolent Thomas]

People also refer o him as an invader recruiter, because several prominent raiders credit him as the reason why they are invader. I doubt he'd be seriously considered for the hall of fame. If the first class isn't taken seriously, there's no prestige in being part of said hall of fame in years to come.

I trust the judges will take their position seriously. They are a fine group and I think we all want to help recognize players who should be remembered and honored.

The reason for not explicitly saying "raider" is because that definition is subjective and has fluidity to it that I believe will continue to evolve over time. Additionally, there are plenty of gameplayers who may have been a raider at one point, and should be considered, but no longer identify as such.

There's a new spiffy theme out too, friends.

Looks pretty solid, an improvement from Alphacide for sure in my opinion

[Jakker]

The players tasked with the important mission of inducting the first class of the Raider Hall of Fame are:

Benevolent Thomas
Klaus Devestatorie
Crushing Our Enemies
Xoriet
North East Somerset
Severisen
Todd McCloud
The Highlander 1
Drop Your Pants
Great Brigantia

These judges have a wide perspective and experience of raiding through the years. I trust them all to do wonderfully.

The open nomination period is now underway! Until June 30th, all nations will have the opportunity to nominate gameplayers who they believe have made an outstanding contribution to raiding. Raid contributions can have been made on the battlefield, within regions, tactically, through intelligence, or any other area that has made the nominee an indispensable part of raiding history. The judges will vote on the nominees during RaiderCon. Any gameplayer who acts as a judge cannot be voted into the Raider Hall of Fame for that year.

Nominations can be made by telegramming Raider Hall of Fame or posting in this thread. Any nomination must come with an detailed explanation or will be discounted. Make your voice be part of history.

Sounds like fun, but I'm sour to the idea of raiding. Because what was TBR raided my old region Atheist Empire, but I think I'll take a look around.

[Ambroscus Koth]

I nominate Jakker of The Black Hawks.

During his time in TBH, he has been the backbone of a plethora of successful occupation raids, not the least of which include The Eastern Islands of Dharma, Hell, and Hippiedom(I hope I'm remembering the exact shit right, it's been a while). Under his leadership, The Black Hawks have remained a powerhouse in the raiding world and his friendly and guiding personality have made it fun to be a raider for the last few years. Whenever I see Jakker at the helm of an operation, I know it's gonna be awesome.

How delightful to see invaders continuing to attempt to ingratiate themselves with civilization.

and most usually take them as joke (atleast hoped so when I put that up) & tbh I would put someone else to vote me if I want it

[Ambroscus Koth]

Since I've been informed that there's no limit on the amount of people one person can nominate, I'm just gonna keep throwing this shit out there:

I nominate Gest of the new DEN, previously The Black Riders. I don't have any idea where the raiding world would be right now without the loyalty to the cause that Gest has displayed over the years. Hundreds of dollars have been spent out of his pocket to keep his region full of fresh soldiers. There have been multiple points in the history of TBR where Gest was the only one showing any initiative in keeping the region raiding actively, leading almost every update mission that occurred. When push comes to shove, raiders can count on Gest to keep the gears turning.

I'll probably nominate many more before I get bored

[Jakker]

Thank you all for the nominations. Keep them coming.

Since it was asked, there is no limit to the amount of nominations you can give. A player receiving multiple nominations won't be given preference over someone with only one. Simply, being nominated puts a player in a pool of candidates for the judges to decide upon. The judges will also have some time during the beginning of RaiderCon to further nominate.

[OOC]Are these "historical" discussions and panels OOC or IC?[/ooc]

In regards to the talks/panels being led by a player, that is ultimately up to them to decide.

As far as the informal discussion and debates, I envision those to be OOC.

[OOC] I ask because while I would not participate IC in any invader-led activities, if this is truly an OOC historical event, I imagine that not only might I find it interesting, but I may have some things to contribute.[/ooc]

I would like to nominate Venico for his works with both BoM and Osi, but I'm not really well-versed with all of what he did, and I'd rather not skimp out on any details. So if someone who knows what he did thoroughly *cough* Koth *cough* could go ahead and do it, that would be great!

I was avoiding nominating him because of nepotism
