The Jungle Gazette: Golden Banana award Nominations

UnOrthOdOx · August 31, 2002, 08:24

We are announcng th formation of a new award for the Citizens. These will be held on a Regular basis, (still decidn how often) and are for citizens who contribute above and beyond the call of duty.

Goverment officials are not eligable. This is for Citizens only.

When nominating, please include:

Name
Reason for nomination
Link to example

In 7 days, we will hold a poll andaward to the top three choices.

/me raises a very important point of interest

Would only the bananas themselves be golden, or the peels as well?

Shiber · August 31, 2002, 08:49

I suggest that citizens be allowed to nominate other citizens (unless they disagree) but not themselves.
My own nominations: I would have nominated Spiffor but he's a deputy minister. I would have nominated Sirotnikov for his website but it's not done yet. I think Aro deserves a lot of credit for the maps and everything so I'd like to nominate him if he doesn't mind.

UnOrthOdOx · August 31, 2002, 08:55

Yes, no nominating yourself...

Banana's are YELLOW, but these will be made of gold, Silver, and Bronze for places 1,2, and 3.

(unless someone can come up with something more original)

Epistax · August 31, 2002, 09:03

I think first place should be gold PLATED as we all know banana is worth more than its weight in gold. That way if first place gets hungry, he can break the prize then eat its ooeygooey inards

Kuciwalker · August 31, 2002, 09:24

I nominate GhengisFarb.

rush · August 31, 2002, 09:25

this is a great move. Rewarding citizens for their outstanding work. We should do it monthly and give it to just 1 person. However, if we can't find any worthy effort during the month, we should look back at past months effort that were not awarded or don't give out any award. It's important that only the best is recognised .... we don't give it to any father, mother or son.

Which means I will never get any reward

because I never contribute anything.

civman2000 · August 31, 2002, 11:47

I second skywalker's nomination of GF (I assume for his work in the $minigame)

Aro · August 31, 2002, 11:58

I would like to nominate Reddawg for his impressive work with the stats. And I would like to thanks you, Shiber, and say I’m very honored that you thought of me.
Btw, Shiber, I don’t mind…

Edit: here is the link .

OPD · August 31, 2002, 12:02

I second Aro

Cos he's a dude.
and makes impresive maps.

How is Aro pronounced anyway?

is it "arrow" or "air o" or something else

Aro · August 31, 2002, 12:12

"air o" is fine.

Edit after profound considerations: Hum... "arrow" with one "r" sounds more like Portuguese...

GhengisFarb™ · August 31, 2002, 12:28

I would like to nominate Captain for the $Mini-game. (not an official anymore and Aro's been nominated twice...)

And I'd like to thank skywalker and civman2000 for nominating me.

MrWhereItsAt · August 31, 2002, 12:54

If there was such a thing as "thirding" a nomination, I would do so for GenghisFarb. This guy keeps me honest ( at least occasionally thinking honest), and seems to post everywhere. Genghis is the critic that Presidents hate to be on the bad side of, yet if they are any good they appreciate highly (

). I hope you stay "in opposition" forever - you personify the best ideas against almost all of which I have done so far. Such a member of the public is essential in this game.

Kuciwalker · August 31, 2002, 12:56

GhengisFarb - you're welcome

Aro · August 31, 2002, 13:41

A dumb question: could we nominate more than one person?

Shiber · August 31, 2002, 13:49

Personally I don't think UnOrthOdOx would mind. We just have to keep the list to a max of 32, otherwise inserting all the names into a poll won't be possible.

Anyway, I suggest that once the list of candidates is closed we'll open a multi-voting poll (or whatever you call the polls with checkboxes instead of radio boxes) and ask everyone to vote for the three candidates he would like to see in the finals (we'll have to use the trust system here). The final poll will include the three candidates who got the most votes (if a few candidates tie we might have to include more than three in the final poll though) and will be a regular, single pick poll.

Shiber · August 31, 2002, 13:52

Also, I suggest that each candidate writes a short essay on why we should vote for him, listing his contributions to the game and so on. The essays will be pasted into or linked to from the first post in the poll threads.

Aro · August 31, 2002, 13:57

That's a good reason...
So, I would like to nominate Skywalker, for all the roleplaying (and for the 100,000,000 bananas he gave to me yesterday...

Just kidding!).

Edit: Shiber, a short essay??? With my handicapped English? This will be hard!

I went on a HUGE posting spree right after Persia and Germany declared war. Everyone was wanting to form alliances with everyone and didn't see how unneccessary they were.

I think I posted 30-40 times in a 3 hour period before everyone finally began to realize it wasn't the end of the world.

Oh, and THE reason I joined the Democracy game was based on a little advice from Ming, "..if you want to get your post count up, join a Democracy game. Stuff that would be spam anywhere else tends to slide by as 'roleplay'.............."

THREE MONTHS OF POSTING AND ONLY 38 POSTS TILL KING.
Apocolypse eat your heart out.

Shiber · August 31, 2002, 15:00

Ha, screw that!
I post the most here (more than 17 posts a day in average).

Kuciwalker · August 31, 2002, 15:03

Shiber - not necessarily. I had a LOOOONG lurker period, but now I get a ton of posts every day.

UnOrthOdOx · August 31, 2002, 15:16

I will nominat Shiber for being just about everywhere and oranizing discussions on just about every topic imaginable,including the last Mapwhoring project. And also fr filling in on the Gazette. Go ahead, try to find 5 threads in the last month without his input.

That's easy: the $mini-game threads.

Thanks for nominating me UnOrtho, I was beginning to think everybody hates me.

Kuciwalker · August 31, 2002, 15:59

Of course we do.

Hagbart · August 31, 2002, 18:22

I would like to nominate Aro for maps like these:
