Second Plastic Plant for Blackbird Award.

Blanket second all quotes because we should all get to relive how great they are when the ballot comes out.

Nominating a fluffy kitten for Worst Invader Group and Meltdown of the Year (To clarify -- this is the protest vote option I'm offering since I personally don't much enjoy awards designed to highlight others' failures/worst moments. I very much enjoy celebrating our good stuff tho)

@Alfonz I want you to imagine that you live in a first world nation. Now imagine that the United States bought your nation and has decided to replace your healthcare system with theirs. It's sort of like that.

Defender of the Year Award
The nation who has helped the defender cause the most in the last year.
Jamie
Why: Working behind the scenes to improve inter-regional communication in joint defending ops. Diplomacy.

The Ananke Award
Hame
Why: Bringing context to those spots, reading the tea leaves

The Anarchotopia Award
TITO
Why: On average, TITO is liberating at the following update, or defending a region in real time, about every 24 hours, from raiders who are there with intent. While chasing taggers is an essential defender activity, the stakes aren't as high since the threat of occupation is usually zero. In terms of 'preventing invasions' (which implies a sustained threat) TITO is doing so at a higher rate than any other org.

The Blackbird Award
LWU (sorry Hame)
Why: They've gotten creative quite a few times this year, jumping from GCRs, IJPs, sinkers. Doing more with their limited resources than other orgs that just use blunt force. They don't succeed very often, but they consistently use stealth to their advantage

The Operation of the Year
Smol Fur
Why: Patience and persistence despite a few tech and communication problems at the start. Recruitment into the community to help level the field and gain advantage. Use of advanced tactics given the region's location in update. Nullification of strategic benefit for occupying forces in liberating. Important stuff.

The Best Newcomer Award
GK
Why: She's immersed herself into the R/D culture and made a point of learning a lot of the contextual stuff. She was exceptionally fast and reliable as a foot soldier, and has quickly excelled as a TO

The Lifetime Achievement Award for Dedication to Defending
Kanta Hame
Why: 7+ years of dedicated service to the defender cause. Development of a deep dossier on which we all rely. 750 TITO battle stars, signifying successful operations, the vast majority of which are substantive libs and defs where raiders posed a threat of occupation or an existential threat to the region.

The Numero Capitan
The nation who has best served the Intelligence cause.
Fratt
Why: Reliability for deeper context and a connectedness that benefits all we do

The Belgium Award
Kuri
Why: Obvious I think

The Worst Invader Group
FWO
Why: Months of telegraphing their plans

The Karputsk Award
The nation who has excelled in leading liberations.
Karp
Why: Clarity in leadership, detail oriented on joint ops, solid communication.

The Eluvatar Award
For best tech contributions.
Haku
Why: It's a secret

Another nomination for Best Newcomer: Melix (Melicorium).

Melix had been an enthusiastic member of the SPSF, he's been reliable, talented, and has seriously been doing so much for recruitment on the RMB and promotIng defenderism in TSP.
