Changed my nomination for Best Defender Org to share with Zaolat :hug: and cause we mean the same thing.

So now that should be an official one... :)

If I change one of my nominations to a nominee that has only got one nomination (from a person that posted after me), will that nominee be eligible to partake in the Gameplay Awards as soon as I finish my editing?

I find it interesting to see how much recentism-bias there is with these things.

Don't get me wrong, most nominations are perfectly reasonable, but if you were the best in Q4, you are basically guaranteed the award. :P

By the way and outside of whatever NationStates involves, thanks to all the people who have defined the path towards the future of the game's RP and my region, be it positively and negatively. From controversies and struggles to celebrations, this game has taught me a lot of important things that I will remember within and outside NS. I have to say that yours truly had fun with every event that has taken place due to the fluency that the members themselves of site provide and all the outcomes that said events could bring. I will always have you on my mind and heart, be it as a good friend I enjoyed talking with or as a staunch foe I loved fighting with.
