PLAYER CATEGORY
Smartest: Subjective, since everyone has knowledge in fields others do not. So going by the basis of PRO: @GlogS takes the cake. The guy is a PvP animal, additionally he's a really intelligent guy. Absolute pleasure conversing with him.
Friendliest: Take your pick, the community is absolutely full of friendly people. @bentehn is probably the most friendly I've witnessed personally in my time spent in both Discord and the game.
Funniest: I know a lot of funny people from PRO, I could be here all day listing them. Yet the person I have had the most fun with, is @Nebulas. Comrader is a close second, though.
Coolest: No one strikes me cool to the point of "I so want to be that person." Although @teerav has an aura of coolness following him. He documents himself well, is witty and sarcastic, and it's pretty cool as it goes.
Comeback Player of the Year: No question, @PreHax. Not only has he come back to PRO, but he's come back and is doing a job that gets him a massive amount of unfair criticism. The guy is literally spending hours and hours every single week to benefit the players of the community, we are lucky to have him back and I for one want to show my public appreciation for his work.
Most Talkative: This is quite a difficult one being active mostly and predominantly in Discord solely, so my opinion has to be swayed by that. Most recently there's a guy there that is awake when I go to bed, and still awake when I wake up. [uSER=2208656]@LightningVector[/uSER] is the man I speak of.
Most Trustworthy: I think I get on well with everyone, to be honest, and everyone I speak to often I trust. Although there's a gentleman @CrosbieL I met recently that I seem to have a natural understanding of and believe he is easily someone I would consider the most trustworthy to me.
Most Helpful: Any of the guide creators, Discord Moderators or people helping in Discord or the Help chat get my full and complete gratitude. It's thanks to people like that, others do not lose their way. If I had to make a choice over the course of the year on someone I felt has been the MOST helpful, @Fallen has been the guy in game and in Discord.
Most Missed: Controversially @Gongon. The guy is a legend, he's funny, makes people talk and is genuinely a great guy. I won't hide my appreciation of him.
Most Influential: The most influential, by definition has to be @Eaty. The amount PRO has gone since he took the helm is incredible, with only new things on the horizon, it's definitely exciting for us and the future.
Most Intriguing: When I'm not typing, who do I shut up and listen to? @Kaminokage has to be the guy for this. While we don't always see eye-to-eye in public chats, there's absolutely no denying the clear and concise work he does. The methods he pushes out and what he studies in-game, is very intruding indeed.
Most Experienced Player: Quite a few people have been around as long as myself, that I remember, but experience does not always come with age. @munchin was one of the first people I remember really taking his time out to assist people in ways far beyond what he had to. Experience for me is putting back in what you've taken out and he definitely did that, and has continued to do that.
Best/Funniest Username: The cute name of the scariest person ever, surely has to go to @Fluffles.
Most Professional Guide Maker: I can not share this award, but I have to give it to @PreHax. Sorry Fluffles!
Most Professional Discord Moderator: I've said this already and I'll say it again: All the Discord Moderators are incredible, each and every one of them do their job and do their job very well. It's thankless and it's continuous, that said: I have to choose who I think is the most professional. [uSER=1837673]@Heiwajima[/uSER] gives responses that are well informing, well mannered and very friendly. He goes above and beyond very often.
STAFF CATEGORY - All of the staff get my utmost gratitude, incredible people doing incredible work.
Best Mapper: Based on the mappers maps that have been shown to us @Skuid takes my vote. Sorry Gio and Zek.
Best Artist: Again, based on the artists work: @Sirmeowington wins for me. The Halloween sprites and Xmas Treecko were fantastic. Sorry Yuno.
Best Community Coordinator: @Fluffles has done a lot of work this year and it seemed for a part of it they were working on their own! Fantastic work for as long as I can remember.
Best Moderator: I've never had to deal with moderators personally, so their work has never reflected me. Although I know how much work they do, [uSER=1606029]@MutantSpider[/uSER] does a large amount of work behind the scenes and for that, gets my vote.
Best Trade Moderator: @Logan I see very often in game and forever on top of people in chats. So he's got my vote.
Best Game Master: The meme master himself, @JollyolNathan.
Best Admin: Gonna get a bit of backlash from this one (Mage), but @Shaui has my vote completely. It's been a very long year and yet again she is here delivering for PRO. In addition to all of the work going on outside of PRO, we have had her working hard to keep it all together. Nebulas gets massive amounts of credit for the work he's done and we are lucky to have him also.
Best Staff Username: @Dusky. Reminds me of a rat I used to have when I was a child, I am very fond of the name.
Most Professional Staff: @Nebulas, he is a freak (in a good way). Considering everything and factoring in his age, the guy is professional and mature way beyond his years.
Most Dedicated Staff: @Fluffles for the aforementioned things.
Funniest Staff: Sully, I'm not tagging him because I don't want him to know I think he's funny.
Friendliest Staff: [uSER=1291001]@Elleaf[/uSER], is there anyone much more friendly on the whole game?
Most Honorable Former Staff: @Calahan, amazing guy. Not much else I need to say.
Most Missed Former Staff: @Naero.
I know, I know. TL;DR.
Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year from me. See you in Discord.
- Luke,
just Luke.
