Hi Curu, thanks for ignoring everything I posted. As someone who leads a protectorate of GOONS (Not Col. A), my goal is not to "redo" the Yearly Awards as I've stated in DMs with people, you would have known this if you reached out to me instead of making strawman arguments on the forums. My goal instead has been to make an Awards that is nominated by and voted on by people who are experienced in this game, and the majority of those who are experienced in this game are in alliance government. The top 50 metric of deciding who is allowed is to prevent people who are new and just made a micro alliance to vote on the awards. I've been told multiple times by people that we are making a "Secret Cabal" of people who nominate and scheme regarding the awards and this is also false; you would know this if you spoke to me or Adrienne instead of projecting on the forums. I've brought in people from plenty of backgrounds to help moderate this event, including myself, Adrienne, Sval, deadmeat, and Redarmy. We are not replacing the current awards, I just wanted to try and do something different. While I appreciate the current format and it is a fair way of doing the Yearly Awards, I've found that the winners arent necessarily what the community at large thinks and are just based on who can get the most people out to vote for them. We've also eliminated voting for your own alliance, which I find to be a way to prevent people from just nominating themselves.
I'd still love and appreciate if BK/NPO sent someone to represent them, and if you had actually chosen to speak to me about this instead of whine on the forums you'd find out we're always willing to listen to new ideas and improve our event. It's also really frustrating to be called "pathetic" by someone who's an ally of your protector, perhaps read and learn about a forum topic before responding to it?
This will be my last response on this topic. Please reach out to me before commenting on something you know nothing about, thanks
