I edited my post explaining my thoughts. It was a typo and editing issue.

It's cool, I laughed.

Now I'm disappointed I can't win worst alliance leader. That would've been hilarious.

<Kastor> He left and my !@#$ nation is !@#$ed up. And the Finance guy refuses to help. He just writes his !@#$ plays.

<Kastor> And laughs and shit.

<Kastor> And gives out !@#$ huge loans to Arthur James, that !@#$ bastard.

I think you have actually been paying attention to Odd Squad in some ways better than others. This is 100% true.

Don't take it to your head tho, I'm mostly talking about what your alliance members and other leader have been doing.

The fact that I have multiple nominations as the nicest player disturbs me. Clearly I have been doing something wrong. Whatever happened to my carefully cultivated reputation as a curmudgeonly, constantly irritated son-of-a-&#33;@#&#036;?  :wub:

 

 

Also Jesus Cynic, have a few more categories next time, why don't you. I'll fill this out when I have a few free hours.

This was pointed out on the Mensa boards.  This is 2015 and yet nobody has nominated Mensa HQ as Best Rookie Alliance, which...  well, we started in 2015.  Then again, it could be other factors playing into this.

 

Just a interesting perspective.  Exactly how are we looking at these nominations?  For the entirety of 2015 or just most recent events?

It's meant for the entirety of 2015, but recent events are always going to outweigh events from the beginning of the year in people's mind. For example, if you think of Rose, you probably think mostly of Pubstomper and the Proxy War instead of considering Rose when I was Emperor during the CU fiasco, and when Rose was under Keegoz. An alliance develops a ton in a complete year, so it gets complicated and we get stuff like "Guardian under Pre". :v

 

That's also why people think Roz Wei for Best Rookie Alliance before Mensa, I'd say.

 

Personally, I think people should try to explain each of their nominations, when possible.

I don't see Mensa as being a rookie alliance because a few of you have mentioned that you're pretty experienced with these types of games (and emigrated from (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn&#39;t be bringing it up anyways) from example). I get that it's suppose to be a "P&W rookie alliance" with emphasis on P&W but idk, the experience makes it easier to get in to these types of games, thus weakens the rookie label on you.

 

I could give you a pat on the back and a "good job, pal!" if that's an alright substitution?

We are from eRepublik, not (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn&#39;t be bringing it up anyways), and its not like our group was a group there. Some of our players were on oppossing sides of the incessant World War. Some that were ostensibly on the same side were in opposing military units or political parties. Point is we had never put together a group like the alliances of P&W. Some of our members like TellUrGrlThx are fairly new at eRep and others like Harrison Richardson haven't played eRep in years but were leaders in 2009.

 

I personally wouldn't vote for us for rookie alliance but it isn't like an absurd thing.

Sorry, mixed up the games. 

 

I'm just explaining my motivation for my voting because I feel like if you've played a similar game and you start an alliance with people who've also had the same experience with these games then I personally don't view said group as a rookie group. Like it technically is, if we're talking semantics, but it's just like how I wouldn't for example give a "best rookie award" to an experienced olympic weight lifter who switched over to powerlifting, if there's people in the group who've never weightlifted before. Odd example maybe but hope you understand.

Your point is fair and all, except the vast majority ( If not all ) Best Rookie Nominations are players that literally left alliances here and reformed new ones in this game.  Whereas we came from a completely different game.

 

Don't get me wrong, I could care less if Mensa HQ gets the nomination.  The point I was bringing up is how far back do we look and consider the nominations, and if we take 2015 at it's whole - I doubt there's very few reasons why any new alliance this year could trump Mensa HQ's achievements and impact on the game.

Bourhann just wants someone to nominate Mensa for the best rookie alliance so that we can win that one too, along with everything we have been nommed for, xdxd.

 

 

I'm a hungry hippo, what can I say?

There is only one true hippo. You are not him.
