Yep, this is the place to nominate yourself or others towards various categories of the GWENies, the DoA's first awards contest.
Just keep in mind that there's a limit of 4 categories per person (not including Best Outfit, for reasons said below), don't really want people hogging the awards. Also I haven't said this explicitly before but I guess a lot of you would have assumed it, people won't be able to vote for themselves. That's not really in the spirit of the whole thing, hehe.



- Friendliest Guildie
It's easy enough to be friendly towards those you already know well, but what about new members? This award is aimed towards people that are welcoming of everyone.

- Ari
- Tanny
- Lynn
- Goto
- Ayumi
- Aaron


- Best Farmer
Not so much who has the best farming build or the highest success rate, but who has the Farmer Mentality. The ability to sit still for hours on end, fighting the same areas over and over again in the hopes of a good drop.

- Wasim
- Moo
- Alpha
- Aaron


- Best Runner
Who here has the best running skills, and makes those skills (and themselves) available to others? Whether it's an easy Ascalon City to Yak's Bend trip or the fabled Droknar Run, who most deserves the title of Best Runner?

- Lynn
- Rylkan
- Vegetoacs
- Butch! (And his pet Cspace, of course)


- Most Creative Build Creator
A lot of people stick with fairly standard builds, but many of the most famous (albeit gimmicky) builds would not exist if not for people trying something unique and different. This award is dedicated to those that think outside the square in build design.

- Rylkan
- Alpha
- Tanny


- Worst Insomniac
Fairly self explanatory. This goes to someone who really needs better sleeping habits, and not to consistently play GW until the early hours of the morning. bluetongue.gif

- Lynn
- Moo
- Ari
- Goto
- Vegetoacs

- Eternal Newbie
Different people progress through the game at different rates, and that's fine. This is not so much aimed at someone who hasn't had the time to level all the way to 20, but more to a newbie frame of mind. If after having the game for many months (even scaling into years) you still don't know how runes work, or what 'pull' or 'tank' or 'cap' mean, you might be a contender for the Eternal Newbie award.

- Darkie
- Cspace
- Phieta
- Xmadole
- Vegetoacs
- Nate
- Crescens


- Best Outfit
GW has a lot of different armour styles, particularly if you decide to mix sets and dyes. This award is a little different, nominations are not necessary. Anybody with screenshots posted in our armour gallery (located here) will have a chance to win. If anyone doesn't know how to take or post screenshots, make sure you ask. You can choose to vote based on an individual character you really like, or whether a particular member looks cool as a range of different characters.

Nominations not applicable

[b]- Biggest Lagger

Everybody has problems with lag occasionally, but some people much more than others. Examples include it taking so long to load a PvP map that your team has already lost, or running the entire length of a PvE area before your game updated, to find you've been running into a wall for the last 10 minutes. If you're constantly struck down by the vile plague that is lag, this might be the category for you.

- Wasim
- Moo
- Xmadole


- Most Fun Guildie to Party With
This can be a range of different things. Maybe there's someone that helps make those group farming trips much less boring, or who spends quiet moments during a mission telling jokes? If so, nominate them here so they get the thanks they deserve.

- Ari
- Rat
- Tanny
- Rylkan
- Goto

- Most Generous/Helpful Guildie
As I'm sure you've noticed, some of our guildies are extremely generous, either in passing on items they don't have a use for to someone needy, or just in spending their time helping friends. Or maybe just spending some time answering the questions of a newbie. Whatever the reason, feel free to suggest them here.

- Wasim
- Lynn
- Tanny
- Moo
- Goto
- Ari


Since I changed the rules on you guys a bit, I was hesitant to carry over nominations people had been making in that other topic. You're free to post the same stuff here, just keep in mind the limitation of 4 categories per person. For that reason you might want to take it easy on nominating other people for several awards at once (unless they're really obvious choices for it), because it might stop someone else from having a chance to do so. Anyway, I think that's about all for now, hopefully I haven't missed anything too vital (or killed the BBcode in this thing with all my C&Ping)

And Maxi, if you're reading this? Yes, I used your orange. grnwink.gif

*hurts Goto for his comment in the other topic by throwing his Pandora's Box of materials* bluetongue.gif


Tanny's Nominations:


Most Fun Guildie to Party With - Ari or Rat. bluetongue.gif

Most Generous/Helpful Guildie - Wasim!! bluetongue.gif


I stuck to two because I thought more would just be overkill and I'd spend all night naming everyone. All of them know why they got their nominations... although I don't like Ari for stealing my Energy Surge all the time. bluetongue.gif

And yes, I did have a little bit of fun with my recently-re-discovered bold/italics/whatever tags. biglaugh.gif



^^ Thanks Ayumi, you rock!! ^^

How many five-year-olds could you take in a fight?
Red Carnation, Hibiscus. Spiderflower. White Violet... Peony?

I put up Moo/Mollie/Oh Noes for Most Generous myself. Kind of reminded me to the fact someone should nominate him when he forced lots of prizes on me earlier. I'd do the same for Wasim, but other people were too quick on that one. bluetongue.gif

Most of the people I wanted to nominate have already been nominated, so I won't repeat them. Here are the guys who I want to nominate and haven't been nominated yet:

Friendliest Guildie: Lynn (and Goto if he can participate bluetongue.gif)
Most Creative Build Creator: Goto
Worst Insomniac: Goto
Biggest Lagger: Ollie

I wanted to nominate Tanny for the Most Creative Build Creator category too, but he has been nominated for four categories already sad.gif

Updated. If you can think of any slightly newer or lesser known guildies that deserve nominations, go for it. It'd be nice to have a bit more variety in the names, and the more people that can join in the better.

Also I hope nobody minds, but I shuffled Tanny's nominations around a little. I think he's much more suited to the Creative Builds than he is the Best Runner. He's run me a few places and he's not bad, but there's a few people around here who are definitely better. Also he generally runs on weird characters, like his Mesmer. Takes a reasonable amount of creativity to make an effective mesmer runner. bluetongue.gif

Unless anything unforeseen comes up again, I'm expecting nominations to end sometime next weekend.

Mesmer/Elementalist using Shared Burden, Ward Against Foes and various other slow hexes and Distortion as a just-in-case-anything-goes-wrong stance. Already got it covered. bluetongue.gif

And yeah I don't mind, I was gonna say to remove me from the runner category anyway because I can't run for squat. bluetongue.gif
