Be sure to deposit oodles of rep on these fine figures who made the awards happen this year.
Narf, without whom none of this would exist from categories to art to sheer grit to make it happen. Flinn, for additional encouragement and a senior eye. Dismounted Feudal Knight, for some discussion and admin stuff.
Special credits (were involved in the channel and/or encouragement); Gigantus, for being the shoulder this event was perched on. Cookiegod, for serving cookies in the discussion process. Cope, for valiant encouragement.
Outstanding Silvio Spirit Award: The Dude, Silvio, Alwyn, Abduülmecid, DFK (the last three for allowing the creation of this clearly rigged category)
I reject any implicit and/or explicit accusation, conjecture or allusion about me being the one behind this category. It's this kind of things that destroy the trust of people into politics and politicians, and this needs to end now. Also, covfefe.
Now if only I could find some time for casting my nominations... I don't seem to be able to remind any valid name.. *coff coff*

dammit Flinn who told you?!?! Can't I even start rumours and slander you behind your back in peace without people running to you and telling you about them?!

Cookie is back, now we can really close this place and go play bowling

Just nominate me for every category, it's fair. You can trust me.
Necessarily nominations go out to May 10th, I doubt we'll be getting a requisite half dozen at least nominations needed to make this fruitful over the course of this evening...

I made joke comments earlier, so I forgot to say something more earnest: It's cool that this site still exists after all these years, and that we still have people who care enough to keep it going. At the end of the day, we've all spent a considerable part of our life here. Seeing Narf and DFK putting a lot of time and effort into organising this award was heart warming, and I find it great that, while so many people have been lost over the years, we still have many of the OG's still around. I think I've known of Gigantus for example since I think the German Total War Forum, and if not from there, then from my time at the StrategieZone at the latest.
This site has aged obviously, and especially Total War is not what it used to be, having switched from a sandbox game full of immersion and interesting choices even in the vanilla versions to whatever it is today, but these member awards shows that at the end of the day, people are what matter.
Also seeing the syphilitic and geriatric Flinn still alive surprises me year after year and keeps forcing me to delay my inevitable coup d'etat.

I just want to say again thank you to Narf for insisting on having these awards and to DFK for running them.. I was ready to drop them (I already dropped them in fact), but all in all running them was still the right thing to do.. once more unto the breach, dear friends!
Also thanks as well to the other Committee members, all minus Cookie: as usual he did absolute jack .
