So sad that people need to ask to get nominated.

So sad that people need to ask to get nominated.
Tribe Mate of the Year: TreX (Jake/TreX)
In my opinion this award can only go to Jake and TreX. Anyone who doubts this should look at their commitment on w96. They have taken account sit after account sit for anyone who couldn't defend themselves for any reason to keep every village they can within their tribe with unwavering commitment. They could easily be nominated for skilled soldier, but I think this award is better suited to them for the amount of time they commit to the game, and not even for their own account. I wouldn't like to guess how much time they both must spend sitting, but it's a hell of a lot more than I or anyone else I know could ever commit to someone else's account and for that I think they deserve respect.
Skilled Soldier: RealDonaldTrump
The perfect example for this account would be w92. Where the rest of the tribe failed to make progress initially, nothing stopped this account. Wiping out an inactive account that was perma-sat by some of the best snipers in the enemy tribe first, they then went on to become a pretty unstoppable force, taking down account after account so that the rest of their tribe could make progress too. With such a huge lead over the rank 2 account they can gift villages without risk of losing rank 1, and reaching it with very few internals and an endless list of war caps they definitely deserve this award. You know they're a skilled account when they have such sweet timings so consistently that they get accused of botting by the other tribes they're facing, because the players aren't used to the level of skill. These guys make up a one man army, and if you let them do their thing they could easily win you a world.
Forum Personality of the Year: Fleezus Clyde
I personally think that Fleezus deserves this award over anyone. He is one of the top posters of the forums across all worlds, especially those worlds he is playing actively. I find that more than anyone else that posts on forums, Fleezus manages to find a perfect balance between serious posts and humour. He posts in equal measure what appears to be the main 2 things everyone wants from the forums - analyses and humour. Whilst funny contribution to roasts and gif threads keep the mood of the forums light, he ensures that he posts an analysis of worlds he plays at various intervals, giving a rounded view with a considerable amount less bias than I have seen from other forum posters. For examples on this look at his w97 posts - informative without any cattiness and little bias.
Some say that Fleezus gets too drawn into petty fights on forums. I think that this would not be a good reason to not give him an award that he truly deserves. Anyone can be drawn into fights and for someone that posts so consistently and is received so well, people who are trying to drag him into fights at this stage with mocking posts should chill out. He's a very passionate guy and his contributions and commitment to keeping the forums alive should not be overlooked, especially considering there are many posters who post a lot of rubbish and make every thread about them. For any that are unsure if his posts are actually welcome, just look at his likes - over 1800 like received on his messages is not something to be sniffed at, and with the most likes on the forums of any active poster and a lead of nearly 500 likes, this award can simply go to no one else.
I'm relatively new to forums, but in the short time I've seen Fleezus posting, he seems to constantly be striving to improve both his content and his maturity, and with over a 2:1 ratio of likes: posts it appears that there are a lot of others that feel the same way about his brilliant contributions to the forums, especially looking at the comments on his threads. The fact that in 10 short months he has over 800 posts is not something to gawk at. I don't think anyone has contributed more this year than Fleezus.
No and no. They've been a bit delayed, but will be sorted out soon.Have i missed winner announcement or someone forgot about them?
The quality of the nominations are more important than the quantity of nominations though, as is also stated in the contest post.to me with things like these awards everyone should get 1 nomination, not per forum account they own but one per IP address that way the votes are fairer for the mods and admin to count and there will be less likeliness of cheating just to get a forum award especially with premium involved
