Inspired somewhat by the British Comedy Awards, I present to you the Neocron Declaration Of Achievement Awards 2004. Here you may cast open votes on the categories below, and on Jan 9th, 2005, I will announce the results and the gloating may begin (though gloat in moderation - don't want any of you getting banned!).

To vote, simply PM me your answers; Yes, there are better ways of doing it, but you lot are crafty buggers, and this way I can ensure one vote per forum account. If you pay KK for two or more accounts you will of course have the same number of forum accounts as a result then hell, you deserve the right to have more votes! :D

Mods, if this is the wrong place on the forums I'm sure you'll do your thing and move it for me.. and if you happen to be imbued with Christmas cheer, feel free to sticky this thread ;)

Good luck with this :p

Edit;
Hmm. There will probably be less positioning though since it's through PM..
Might well work :D

"Good show" Award:

I think I can safely say there's not a single clan on Terra worthy of that award. :p

People can say their clan is always nice about winning and losing, but it's pure bullshit. I have yet to run into a single clan where I could say EVERY member has good sportsmanship. It just doesn't happen - on Terra at least. :D

If i'd have to say something to that, i'd say Lunatic. Any other.... Not a chance. Not even my own clan :)

we (NCAT) are all about the fight... i cant say we have never been a bad winner / loser though :p

all our OP wars so far we have let other clans claim the OP's. shows what we think of the "reward" of the fight really.

wheres the most hated / most flaming / most spamming forum award?

RogerRamjet
24-12-04, 01:48
I dont think you can have a definite "up for it award", for example fights against FF at jeriko, its never a clan, it always a bunch of random guys who want a bit of a frisk, but theres always LAARD, The One and Lunatic there in numbers it seems.

Btw, coolest faction, Tangent, because of the terrifying motto/war cry...

TANGENT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

24-12-04, 02:04
Sorry no...Fallen Angels is the one and only coolest faction! :D

Best Pilot:
Who is the most reliable and competent pilot of vehicles / gliders?

i think for me its Winchester, i watched him in his rhino last for the entire op battle, even when he had a hybrid psi attack his rhino... was a nice piece of mobile cover for us to hide behind when we attacked jeriko.

24-12-04, 20:00
I agree with jesters idea on the biggest forumspammer.
Like best ideas on the forum
The most useless poster.
I mean I see same guys posting like 5-10 times in same thread.They should get that award for sure ;)

Siygess
25-12-04, 22:47
Nah, I deliberately avoided anything too offensive in the awards. This is my motto, repeat after me:

Keep it clean

Keep it clean

Keep it clean

Happy Crimbo, by the way!

Oi! Votes via PM's please.. and since I've only had four so far, pull your thumbs out of your behinds and get voting, or this will be almost as one-sided as the Oscars ;)

EDIT: Results, as mentioned in the first post, will be on Jan 9th. If there are any to *announce*, that is..

Even with a PM system people are gonna vote for themselves/their mates/people they know.
We shall see.

By the way; anyone who votes for me deserves a kicking.
Also, Yelly, are you the Xelly who is in my clan (or was)?

Siygess
07-01-05, 16:18
True, but unlike the forum, I'm not going to start a converation / debate / flamewar about their choice of votes via PM :D

Only 24 hours left to vote.. and please, please vote. I've had about seven votes so far.. *sniff*

09-01-05, 02:54
Most of the people worth voting for have left so not much point.

Sad to see such a poor response though Siygess. :(

whether or not your the best is immaterial...

you offer advice, and more importantly make people think (like reminding mei could use br3 instead of haz 1 and base a setup on that).

its not about bein the "best"
