Here is a list of a few aspects that made Hitler a great leader;
[spoil]
- Hitler oversaw one of the greatest expansions of industrial production and civil improvement Germany had ever seen. Hitler oversaw one of the largest infrastructure-improvement campaigns in German history, with the construction of dozens of dams, autobahns, railroads, and other civil works.
- Hitler's government sponsored architecture on an immense scale. Although Hitler made plans for a Breitspurbahn ("broad gauge railroad network"), they were preempted by World War II.
- Had the railroad been built, its gauge would have been three metres, even wider than the old Great Western Railway of Britain.
- Hitler contributed slightly to the design of the car that later became the Volkswagen Beetle and charged Ferdinand Porsche with its design and construction.
- An important historical debate about Hitler's economic policies concerns the "modernization" debate. Historians such as David Schoenbaum and Henry Ashby Turner have argued that social and economic polices under Hitler were modernization carried out in pursuit of anti-modern goals.
- He used the blitzkreig which is one of the most effective methods of warfare ever used on a major scale. A method so effective that the Americans have adopted many of its core methods in their modern warfare.
- In May 1928 the Nazi party received 810,100 votes or 2.6% and only got 12 seats in the Reichstag
5 years later Hitlers rise to predominance set him as Chancellor of Germany. In March 1933 the Nazi party received 17,277,000 votes or 43.95 and got 288 seats in the Reichstag. That to me seems like incredible political leadership.
And if you still think he was fail after all of that, this is what he conquered while in power of Germany;
Austria, Poland, France, Belgium, Norway, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Greece, Finland and Denmark.
This is just a list of German occupied/held nations in Europe and includes both occupied and Tripartite Pact nations(Italy and Japan). Germany also held power in a large portion of North-Western Africa.[/spoil]

Best Tribe:
1- 4horse - Completely biased opinion
2- Bio! - Lasted an exceptional amount of time and hosted a lot of the best players to play this world.
3- OKBI - Fantastic leadership and pool of talent, not doing great atm but i think time will change that.
Best Player:
1- Trixs -Played the Imagine that account. Extremely intelligent player in game and on the forums. Strategically brilliant and very aggressive as both a player and a leader so he must get top spot in my opinion.
2- Ghosttoy - Played the hlsp account. The fastest growing account until the 4horse vs Bio! war and afterward got back all his villages with incredible speed and remained a strong player.

Best Leader
1- G0liath - Always working on recruitment or diplomacy, dedicated huge amounts of time to skype conversations and directing the tribe where it needed to go. Big fan of delegation.
2- SS - Love him or hate him he was a guy that got things done. He would constantly be sitting anywhere between 5 and 10 accounts while organising ops, micromanaging players and managing to play his own account.

Worst Tribe
1- OM - one on every world and they are always big barb munchers that turtle up and spread across the world like a rash.
Most Promising Tribe
1- ModWar - plenty of room for expansion
2- ~T~/Nyuk could make a good merge
3- IDSF/KTA merge could also be interesting however unlikely it is.
Most entertaining poster
1- UBM - Always opens fantastic post topics, writes a great blog and the forum is dead when he is not around. I have to admit that at first his introduction annoyed me with it's upfront arrogance but when your that good you can be whatever you want.
2- Orionlukas - When i started on this worlds forums i always enjoyed reading Orionlukas' comments. I'm not sure if it was the way he wrote, what he said or some other aspect i could place but his posts always stood out as with clarity on the points he intended to get across in an intelligent and fluid manner.

Worst Forum Personality
1- nemesispro - the first person i have ever added to the block list and if you remember him you will know why.
2- Brotherhood of Blasphemy - second to the block list ranks him second worst poster; though my dislike for them is around equal.
3- Any player that responds to a post on the X aggressively by directl insulting the player for being anything. (i have been guilty of this on certain occasions.)
Best Tribe Representation
1- I don't think any tribe is represented particularly well as every thread always ends up getting closed because of bickering. So the best are the ones who don't speak.

Funniest Poster
1- Dark is always good for a Laugh
2- UBM - Joke of the week good for some chuckles.
