I would like to nominate T and Beithir Both. T because he's been a great help to me in my rpg and is a great person to get to know, and Beithir because of his respect for others and general helpfulness as a mod. It's great to know you two are around!

It doesn't matter whether someone has already been nominated. People can nominate who they like, regardless of whether they've already been nominated...

What? :o Thank you.

I'll nominate Unicorn, the walking BRB, because his Sethayla LEAF article was a good read.

that is indeed a very good list of nominations... :D
i am new to the site but i can think of good reasons for voting for all of them :D

If i had to pick one though, Beithir would probably be the choice for me...
i am a bit bias as he has proven very patient with me so far in our WFO battles :ninja: :lol:
not to mention that they were full of fun :lol: :lol:

2 days left to nominate.


Thanks for the list Lune. I don't think it was entirely necessary being as it doesn't matter who gets nominated, or how many times, but I suppose AMA likes to keep things in order :smirk:

Easy for you to say B, with five nominations ;)

Well, I'd like to nominate Craig. Even though I personally loathed the bugger, he always added a nice and ultracompetitive perspective to a discussion, which was nice and earned my respect :)

And also Ramesesis for his stalwart defence of a core-heavy, low-fantasy - and supposedly more tactical - version of warhammer.

I'll never agree with any of them. But having their input has been valuable in defining my own view of the game. So despite that none of them has been very active as of late, I think they both deserve mentioning :)

All I'm saying is that one nomination is as good as five, and five nominations is no better than one :D I just don't want people to feel they have to nominate someone who hasn't already been nominated - if they want to show their gratitude and appreciation for a member, this is their chance to do it and and the fact that that member may have already been nominated shouldn't stop that.


My own nominations would be Unicorn and steinerp. Unicorn has been a regular contributer over the years, has gone out of his way to help people and is always on hand to answer questions (and write LEAF articles :p) even with big things happening in real life. Steinerp has been a great proponent of WFO this year, playing a big part in the WFO Tournament and essentially running the BPIF campaign while AMA was absent, as well as contributing all over the site and being a regular participant in our events.

P.S TVF, your "christmas" avatar is really quite disturbing :crazy:

I nominate Liesmith and Deepwood for their regular participation in the off topic debates. They are always courteous and their arguments are always well thought out. Even if I disagree with some of them (Liesmith :p)

I want to nominate Tethlis, because he has been very helpful in both Asrai and non-asrai business. His posts are always very complete and he writes in a nice amiable manner.

Also Ramesesis because I really enjoy reading his posts and share most of his views about the game :)

I am surprised none nominates Ramnie (Ramesesis). His opinions may be weird for someone, but they are always well-based, well-argued, polite and interesting to read/think about.
It is also shame Hyarion is not active this days as he was before, because he was one of the most knowledge Asrai here around. I will nominate him if it will make sense, but I am afraid this year, it does not ;)
Then, as many else, I will aslo re-mention AMA and Beith. Both are very helpful for everyone and are spending hours with work on this site (though some work on my "Tactical charge" article will be also wellcomed :ninja: )

Ah snap, this thing have more that 1 page ;) Someone already mentioned Ramnie, before I do ;)

Anyway, I am really surprised by my own nomination. There was so much IRL things disturbing me over this year, that I even quit the WFO playing :( There was not much I have done here on A.org, I believed. So, thanks a lot!
By the way, I love that "the walking BRB" title, Tuhis :D Will there be any chance to get this title under my icon, where the "LEAF Writer" is now? At least for few days :D

Buy Naggie an extremely big and expensive Christmas present and he might be persuaded ;)
