The Categories and Awards:

Awards Given to Probably Deserving Individuals

  • Raider of the Year - The most villainous, the exemplar of evil, the paragon of raiding in the last year.
  • Defender of the Year - The doer of good, the leader of righteousness, the stalwart defender of the last year.
  • Up and Coming Raider - That new person to the art of raiding who shows the most promise. Nominations may be made of those new to raiding in a longer time-frame than the last year, within reason.
  • Up and Coming Defender - The best recruit of the side of righteousness who shows the greatest promise. Nomination requirements are the same as above.
  • Politician of the Year - Ah, the infamous profession. This award is for those who have power & influence by position, and have used it the best.
  • Most Influential Gameplayer - The equal and opposite of the above, this award is for those who don't have powerful positions, but somehow end up influencing and/or in the room where it happens anyways.
  • The Armchair Award - The oft-maligned award, this goes to the individual whose activity level is most inverse to how much they talk about what is going on.
  • Gameplayer of the Year - The crown jewel in any awards cabinet, this award is for that person who is the best Gameplayer around (or at least in the last year).

Individual Awards Disguised as Being for Groups of People

  • Raider Military of the Year - Given to the military that has best demonstrated the crushing of natives for the past year.
  • Defender Military of the Year - That Military that did the most to protect the mostly-innocent masses from raiders this year.
  • Independent/Unaligned/Other Military of the Year - An award for the undecided militaries among us that play on both sides.
  • UCR Region of the Year - The user-created region that did exceptionally well this year.
  • GCR Region of the Year - Supposedly an award for the game-created region that did the best this year, we all know that's code for most popular.
  • Best New Region - That new region everyone is talking about, and looks to be doing the best.

Awards Somehow Given to Non-Physical Stuff

    Invasion of the Year: Even the most epic of invasions deserves more accolades.
    Defense of the Year: The defense that most showed what defenders can do.
    Political Event of the Year: - Treaties, wars, and political intrigue oh my! This one is for the big things happening in Gameplay politics.
    Failure of the Year (IC only): - Missed triggers, opsec leaks, and more! This is the IC event (OOC stuff is out) that gets the dubious distinction of being dubbed the greatest failure of the year.
    Event of the Year: - The biggest thing in Gameplay to happen in the last year.

The Silly Awards and Ones that Don't Fit Elsewhere

    News Operation of the Year: - Regular journalism, yellow journalism, and tweets. This goes to the operation deemed the best at putting out the news we all sometimes care about.
    Best Thread/Essay/Long-form Dispatch: - The thread or similarly long thing deemed to arbitrarily be the best.
    Quote/Short-form Dispatch of the Year: - That witty/funny/weird comment we all like.
    Most Popular Award: - The silliest and most arbitrary of awards, this award is for whoever or whatever we all evidently like the most.

Raider of the Year: Pass
Defender of the Year: Vinny *shakes fist*
Up and Coming Raider: Pass
Up and Coming Defender: Hired Contractor - Dude's good
Politician of the Year: Altino - This feels weird since it is hard to call Alti a politican. She is Pharaoh of Osiris and has acted in that capacity though, so I feel it is correct.
Most Influential Gameplayer: Cormac *shakes fist*
The Armchair Award: Dali - I hate Dali and everyone else should
Gameplayer of the Year: Ever-Wandering Souls - He is the face of modern raiding and is the face of the NPO-everyone conflict.

Raider Military of the Year: The Black Hawks - They're the best ones
Defender Military of the Year: The Grey Wardens - they're the only ones
Independent/Unaligned/Other Military of the Year: North Pacific Army - I think this is the easiest answer
UCR Region of the Year: Pass
GCR Region of the Year: The North Pacific *shakes fist*
Best New Region: Pass


Invasion of the Year: St Abbadon pile
Defense of the Year: St Abbadon pile
Political Event of the Year: St Abbadon pile
Failure of the Year (IC only): St Abbadon pile
Event of the Year: St Abbadon pile

News Operation of the Year: The NewsStand - Consistently updated, the work they do is appreciated.
Best Thread/Essay/Long-form Dispatch: Miniluv Summary of the NPO-TBH/Everyone conflict. - Was a very good write up, but the lack of consistency from Miniluv prevented them from winning the above award.
Quote/Short-form Dispatch of the Year: Pass

Quote/Short-form Dispatch of the Year:
John Smitherssen saved 21 chickens which were thrown out of the 18th storey of an apartment in Ervillen, in the Marple Poleski Region. Mr Smitherssen, 21, said, "I just had to. I could not bear to witness the deaths of so many chicken lives," as he steamed some chicken wings that he had bought earlier.
The police have investigated and found the culprit, who turned out to be Man Farall, 35, a notorious murderer and thief, that was trying to 'eliminate all witnesses to the crime'. After robbing the apartment block, he tried to rid of the chickens by throwing them down the building.

Farall has plead guilty to several charges, which are theft, murder, animal cruelty and killer litter. He is to be imprisoned for 10 years and fined $200000 as well. On somehow managing to catch Farall, Mr Smitherssen says, "I'm happy that such a man who murders and enjoys killing animals is put to justice, and I hope he learns his lesson," as he salts his chicken wings thoroughly and readies his table.
