NationStates Jolt Archive

Some time ago, someone started an "academy awards" of sorts wherein various critera were offered, along the lines of "Most powerful nation," "most influential nation," et al.

Given Pablicosta's similarly themed RP awards thread, I decided to do it again. Only we're doing it a bit differently this time. I'm doing nominations instead of just straight up voting. I have few enough nerves left as it is.

At any rate, here are the categories [nominations open until the 18th]:

*the power through peace award is to be given to the nation or nations who climb the political ladder while avoiding war, or resolve conflicts diplomatically [which is pretty rare around here] more regularly than others.

[some of the new nominations were added, but the ones that only had one nominee were thrown out by default. I disqualified the UTP for "Power through Peace" because they started that goddamn coalition war.]

I nominate Menelmacar for most Hot Headed...

Hm, I vote to make anyone who tried to kill elves as "Biggest Warmonger"

They knew they were just provoking poor Siri.

I nominate GDODAD (during the periods it exists) for Most Militarily Powerful Alliance and the UTP for Most Economically Powerful Alliance.

The Original GDODAD...when I was still involved...

not to imply anything...but the current one is shit compared to the GDODAD and even the Dominion...

Most Powerful
not sure, several could go here. Maybe Steel, because of his tech level.

Most Influential
Melkor (if your talking about who has been most influental in the history of NS)

Power through Peace*
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most Loyal
Novus Italia. But since he is hardly ever on the forums......New Genoa

Economic Powerhouse
Kolonor

Most Militarily Powerful Alliance
Arda

Most Economically Powerful Alliance
Yut

Most Powerful Alliance [overall]
Yut

Most Obsequious
Me. Easy, you give me what I want, I'm happy. You don't, nither of us are. Trust me.

Biggest Warmonger
hmmm, big list <insert every n00b nation here>. For well known nations, I can't think of one that would be a BIG warmonger. Only Drum Gods fittes that discription, and he is no longer around

Most Peaceful
Angulus. I don't think I have ever seen them go to war besides the Melkor wars (I may just be blind)

Most Hot-headed
Menelmacar

Most Level-headed
New Genoa

Most Obsequious = Most Eager to please

Most Obsequious = Most Eager to please

Where's the 'Most Persistant April Nation That Tries To Reconcile Nanotech With Decent Roleplay But Never Succeeds Because Of His Crappy War Roleplaying Skills' category? I could so win that!

Hey! I thought I was supposed to take that award, Xanthie!

I guess I could nominate myself for the 'Power through Peace' award... I'm pretty influencial (though I would be more so if I just could work up the nerve to get rid of that godmodish heavy weaponry I have and never use) and though we build a lot of defenses my entire war record follows:
-One day war with undercover IDI troops trying to sabotage my hydrogen weapons (can you do diplomacy with a team of armed commandoes carrying bombs?).
-Sending troops to protect Northeastern Kieales from invaders (I later discovered that after I left it got nuked, go figure).
-Fighting the planet of Than VI when they attacked our Than IV colony (we occupied the planet and tried to set up a new, more peaceful government).
-Fighting our own military when they rebelled (the rebels were exiled, not executed. How many nations can claim so much mercy?).

Most Obsequious = Most Eager to please

OOC: That would be Roania.

Most Powerful
not sure, several could go here. Maybe Steel, because of his tech level.


well..obviously... 8)

*hugs tech that cannot be even classified as space wanking*

"No...I'm at a level beyond!"

[Just kidding...yet I do agree on some levels]

Most Obsequious = Most Eager to please

OOC: That would be Roania.

OOC: Why I ought to... prepare for a chemwhipp... oh... Siri made me give them all away.

No more chemwhippings. :cry:

Most Influential:

I nominate both, Melkor Unchained and Menelmacar (I am not sure, which I would consider more Influential)

Most Obsequious = Most Eager to please

OOC: That would be Roania.

OOC: Why I ought to... prepare for a chemwhipp... oh... Siri made me give them all away.

No more chemwhippings. :cry:

OOC: Heh. I think you even admitted at one time being Siri's lapdog. :)

OOC: I prefer the term "Loyal Minion".

I nominate myself for biggest warmongerer and I also nominate The Dread Lady for Power through Peace.

I nominate Angelus for the Most influential award.

I nominate myself for the Economic powerhouse, and if I may, I nominate Ziotah for the biggest warmonger award... *shudder*

I nominate myself for biggest warmongerer and I also nominate The Dread Lady for Power through Peace.

She's only a power though peace as long as the assainations don't go public. :wink:

I nominate myself for the Economic powerhouse, and if I may, I nominate Ziotah for the biggest warmonger award... *shudder*

And I turn your carbon based ship hulls into nitrogen with my D.E.-- wait... I can't tell anyone about that on tyhe forums yet. :twisted: :twisted:

Hm... what assasinations? :wink:

Now, if there was a category for completely random nation, then that would be me. I am unpredictable and post on just about anything.

Ooh I got nominated! Thanks AO!

Most Powerful
Menelmacar

Yeah... that's it for now.

Most creative sporting event:
Dire Arachnia, for the Giant Evil Spider Football League

Scolopendra for Most Influential

I might point out that he may be responsible for the Space Age. :D

--Felix

I nominate Corporation Islands for Most Economically Powerful Alliance

Can I suggest new categories?

Most Classified Technology- me.
Most Realistic Spacetech- Wazzu or Spacer Guilds

Another Catagory:
Biggest Empire.
(nothing to do with Strenth, just the actual size of the Friken thing.

And let me remind you in case you deside to add it, the Pleiades Cluster is mine, as well as the Tarus Dark Cloud :wink:

How about a vote of the next best RPer? One that is just learning?

I nominate Thelas for most Obseqius... (SP)

No. Just, no. Forget it, kid. He can't hack it. His existence doesn't depend on satisfying the whims of a cruel, malovent master.

And said cruel malovent master being Siri's underling doesn't help matters, either. (sic)

Santa Barbara for Economically Powerful. He's a money machine.

OOC: Good to see that you have a sense of humour about it all, Roania. :D

OOC: Good to see that you have a sense of humour about it all, Roania. :D

I nominate this guy for most likely to have an axe taken to him before his thirtieth birthday.

Seriously, you should try being a minion, Vrak. You get all sorts of perks, like Siri actually responding to your messages (I have her on IM, mainly for her to yell at me, but still...), and reading your posts.

And someday, god willing, I'll get a gravship.

OOC:

Whew! Must be lucky since I'm 34. :)

Being a minion is no fun. People tugging at you, telling you to get coffee, blah blah blah. Nah, my gollum-like friend, you have to be in control of your destiny. Grab the bull by the horns. Remember, if you're not the lead dog then the view never changes. Let that disturbing though etch its way into your brain until you go insane. :shock:

Besides, I thought you already had gravships. 8)

I like getting coffee, and need I remind you what happened last time I acted independently? Large portions of the Pacific ocean are still no-go areas, and I'm sure you'll all agree your people sleep sounder at night knowing that all of my WMDs have been put in a lead-encased box and dropped at the bottom of the Marina Trench. <Gollum>

I have dropships, and hovercraft. None of the big things. And get that thought out of my head! <Gollum>

OOC: Well, I don't know. I suppose you can always have ICBMs with rice a roni filled warheads. Apparently some people think that's okay.

OOC :shock: How did you know!?

IC: "No one must ever learn the shocking truth behind this weapons programme!" General Edmund Hyacinth said today. "The results could be... catastrophic!"

"For us, or for them?" One of the techies asked, looking up from filling a warhead with Rice-a-roni

OOC: Good to see that you have a sense of humour about it all, Roania. :D

Siri responds to your messages?! :shock: Good god man, what is the secret. I am her damned "Protectorate" (aka, Siri wants to keep a close eye on Thelas, and General Theallas. Just in case) and she IGNORES me and then does not respond to my TGs explaining why, ohh never mind. So what is the secret?

Bah, I'm NOBODY'S minon. Like I care about Siri. She can go $*@^$*$ off a bridge. I like independence, and I like expanding my nation without someone telling me what to do. Besides, Atlantians are higer up on the evolutionay latter then both Elves and Humans :wink:

HOw do you find the time to post so much? Especially, if you have a full time job? Any tips?

Most Influential: Lavenrunz. Just think Reich/SATO interactions.

Most Powerful Military Alliance: Yut.

HOw do you find the time to post so much? Especially, if you have a full time job? Any tips?

I have one, destroy what remains of any life outside of work and NS. And get a job that gives you access to internet-connected computers.

I have a few award nominations too:

Power through Peace
-Ur an Ass and crew. (all the world courts, the UTP)

Most Loyal
-Diablo_NL (To Lady Sirithil

Economic Powerhouse
-Der Angst (though arguably at some cost)

Biggest Warmonger
-SeOCC (n00k plot, supporting terrorism, publicly stated aim of overthrowing capitalist world.)

Most Peaceful
Xikuang

And I find the 'biggest warmonger' nomination more then a bit ironic for a nation that has never started a war, and is virtually pacifist. I'm curious what the results will be though... :roll:

Ah crap, as fellow dutchman you could at least have nominated me for something. Biggest factbook or smth.

Ah wel...back to plotting your downfall :D

::is amused::

::wants to see how this would look two or three months from now::

Most Crazy Nations in all NS
No question: the Federated Klatchian Coast (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=the_federated_klatchian_coast)

One of their members bombed my fleet with White Flags and Roast Goose, while we were under a cease fire. Their all insane, I tell you. Crazy! Nuts! Wacho! A few fries short of a happy meal!

Most Likely to Pay You Off
- The Resi Corporation

Biggest Warmonger
-SeOCC (n00k plot, supporting terrorism, publicly stated aim of overthrowing capitalist world.)

i would like to point out, again, since you can't seem to keep your ic propaganda seperate from the ooc truth, that we have written proof you intended to invade SeOCC and the CACE. you have also never shown that i have supported terrorism (ic or ooc, since i have never done so, not even a little), nor am i trying to overthrow the capitalist world; phase it out, yes, but not with a war.

so how can i, who has never tried to start a war, who avoids military conflict like the plague, who has only taken part in such RP's when YOU started them without my permission, be a warmonger?

sorry to Melkor for this post, i'm just sick of taking this kind of pointless ooc abuse.

Seocc, don't be such a granny and take the blow. You nominated him, he nominated you, we'll just have to wait and see who takes the award.

Villians You Love to Hate
- Melkor Unchained
- Raem

Siri, depending on the side you`re supporting :P

And, if you're a UNAOTO, both...

So which one in the FKC is the nuttiest?

I would like to nominate me for most loyal :wink:

Seocc, don't be such a granny and take the blow. You nominated him, he nominated you, we'll just have to wait and see who takes the award.

*goes with that and leaves the slanderous comments alone*

Maybe we can get the prize together. :lol:

damn it all! I forgot about this thread and should have closed nominations last night...

*looks around* OK, I admit it. I just got lazy, actually. Before I close nominations, I'm nominating myself and Menelmacar for Most Powerful, because we should be on there damn it!

I'll edit the post with the final nominations, and figure out how I'll take the voting tomorrow. Special nominations will be included, I guess, but it wont be much of a race with only one person involved with most of them :shock:

HOw do you find the time to post so much? Especially, if you have a full time job? Any tips?
who, me? I'm in school. I got most of my posts over the summer and weekends

*sigh* *wishes he had been nominated for something* :cry:

OOC: I nominate AO for the building-like ships! After all, everyone else has ships that look like something from star wars, star trek, etc... but how many people see a flying Greek temple?

Hey! What about me? My ships look like bugs and weird sea creatures, for the most part.

I would like to nominate me for most loyal :wink:

Seconded.

It's not something I'd ever get.

Post powerful alliance nominee!

Oh...and when will the awards be given out?

Hey! What about me? My ships look like bugs and weird sea creatures, for the most part.

OOC: Got some pics? Looks like you and AO are neck and neck for the "Most creative and bizarre spaceship" category.

Do you have flying lobsters and clams? How about sea cucumbers?

Eh... no pictures yet. POV-ray is a slow way of doing things, and I'm behind on my picture-making schedule. Got StarFish, Scarabs, cross between a lobster and an SR-71, Jellyfish, plant-like versions of Manatees, sharks, uber-sized plankton of many sorts....

Hey...my ships and space-station are giant golden palaces!

Vrak has opened a can of worms. Now everyone will be making pics of giant Sofas, or Cans of soup floting through space, just to win the award.

BWT: I'd like to think I'm loyal. But I'm not nominating myself. That would be rude.

I would like to nominate me for most loyal :wink:

Seconded.

It's not something I'd ever get.

I got 2nded!!

Cheers Roania!! :D
