Perhaps Player of the month is a super-category: the most votes from Community/Govenor/new player…?

I suggest @Saganaki and @Kovus (and all other authors) for the creation of the Prosperous Turnip!

I can help out with 250k CIS with this price.

I’d like to nominate @Mooncrest for Robbin’ Da Hood. I’ll admit i’ve had very limited interactions with this player who i believe is new. They’ve mainly been regarding shipping. But they’re really polite, friendly, and through. Seems as good a reason to nominate anyone :smile:

I would also like to suggest that just as some deplorables have won Time Person of the Year, I see Player of the Month as more a badge of relevancy and impact, even if negative. In this regard I would like to nominate both CUOP (Prdgi if it has to be a specific villian) and ICUOA (They can nominate a specific individual if this is required)

Spoiler for bad Time Person's of the Year winners

Hitler, Trump, Nixon, to name 3.

I’ll cough up money for governor of the month next month

I would like to suggest 2 names -

  1. taiyi
  2. pilboy314

What they did?
Monitor chat and tried to help the new players and grow the community. After seeing global chat they tried to pitch in and help and also tried to give licenses to new players. (I got one from them.)
This ensures we have a bigger community and new players who continue playing and contributing and this game needs loads of them. note: I posted this without seeking permission from them -:frowning:

Anyone looking for an agent to make a sales pitch for them for the prize - I can volunteer my services. 20% commission. bhuhahaha!

I’ll update the nominations when I get home and on pc.

As a curator of the awards, I will not be accepting any nominations for myself. I’d like to reduce the potential for bias during the awards process.

I feel we have the same understanding of the purpose of the “player of the month” award. It is supposed to model Time’s person of the year.

Should we keep the “player of the month” focussed on individuals and introduce a “defining moment of the month” or “group of the month” award?

Time allows for groups and even abstract concepts, “you”. Should this also be allowed in our “player of the month” award?

I nominate PiBoy314 for Robbin’ da Hood. He’s a good player, meets the requirements and I’m sure would like to be less poor.

Ultimately the prize money has to have one person to go to. Since you won’t be CUOP’s leader then they either need to provide another leader or I guess they can’t win. Same would go for ICUOA.

I nominate PiBoy314 for Catfizzing in the Grave. He meets all the requirements, and is deserving of the generous prize as he has been nominated by another for the Community prize. He looks out for newer players and has reluctantly stood for Katoa Governor not out of ego or desire for profit (there isn’t any :wink: ) but to ensure it’s competently looked after.

@McCowen I accept the nomination of PiBoy314 for Catfizzing in the Grave. Unfortunately, it appears that posts older than 30 days cannot be edited so I can’t put it in the official listing.

@molp Is it possible to get this limit raised a little?
