![]() The 4th Annual Defender Awards are due to start on January 9th this year. All are welcomed to participate in the nominations, voting, and general discussion which arises from the awards. The Defender Awards will be lasting for a month - with 2 weeks of nominations, starting on the 9th, followed by 2 weeks of voting. 3 days after the voting is complete, the results will be announced. The Awards are hosted by the FRA, and can be found here. This year, as an addition, we are going to be having several interviews with past winners of awards, as well as (hopefully) some of those who the awards are named after. The awards are as follows: The EuroSoviets Award The EuroSoviets award is given to the nation who is viewed by the NS community as the one nation who has helped the defender cause the most in the last year. The Ananke Award The Ananke Award is giving to those nations who spend their own time looking out for any invasions that are taking place. This normally means staying up till very late and sacrificing their sleep for the greater good. The Anarchotopia Award This award is given to the organisation which has proved the most successful in preventing invasions. The Eagles Disobey Award This award is given to a particular region which has done its utmost to keep free regions free. The Blackbird Award A special award that is given to the invader group which the NS community considers the best out there due to whatever reason. The Sir Lans Award Newly re-named, the old 'Updater of the Year Award' is for the person who has been involved in more update missions than any other, and has shown dedication to be there if they are needed. The Operation of the year The mission which stands out from all others from the last year due to the success, the numbers involved or any other reason. The Best newcomer Award (for region, nation, organisation) Given to the region, nation or organisation which has appeared within the last year, and impressed the defender community the most. The Dipes Award Given to the nation whom has best served the Intelligence cause. The Worst Invasion Award The award given to the operation which was classed as the worst invasion due to defender mistakes, invader cunning or any other reason. The Best Defender Quote A light hearted award, given to the nation whose quote or motto has been considered strange, funny or different. The Meltdown of the Year Award Given to a nation, region or organisation which has self imploded in spectacular (and often hilarious) style. The Lifetime Achievement Award for Dedication to Defending The award given to the nation who has been a dedicated servant to the defender cause for many years, often sacrificing different luxuries in order to help as much as they can. Again, all are welcome to attend - even neutrals & invaders. Visit the FRA forums to attend. Just to confirm, Govindia is allowed to participate in these awards, so long as he acts sensibly on the forums. |

OK, slight change to that - I'm opening up voting on the forums of some of the larger FRA member regions. If you haven't voted elsewhere, you have until Saturday to vote on this forum. To vote, send a Private Message to my account. In that Private Message please indicate clearly the names of those who you wish to vote for. Please remember there is one vote for every award - if you vote for more than one person for a specific award, then those votes will be discounted. You can only vote for those people who are nominated - write-in nominations will not be accepted.

This is a transcript of the awards ceremony:![]() All the previous awards ceremonies may have been held in March, but we're not ashamed to break with tradition here, so I now bring you the winners of the 4th Annual Defender Awards! Before we start, I'd just like to thank everyone who voted this time around. We had three years of declining turnout, but we've had a record 39 votes this year - nearly 3 times last year's turnout, and spread over several forums. This means that the awards truly are representative of the defender community, which can only be a good thing. Now because I don't want a mob forming outside my office, I'll get on with the awards: The Eurosoviets Award This award is given to the defender who is viewed by the NS community as the one nation who has helped the defender cause the most in the last year. This person must be active, hard-working, honourable and... what?!?! I think our voters have been spending too much time at the founderless tavern, because they seem to have voted for me! Well thanks ![]() ![]() The Ananke Award Swiftly moving on, we find ourselves with the Ananke Award, given to the person who has put the most work into spotting invasions. The winner is someone who really should've won this award before - Anime Daisuki, who narrowly pips Ananke to the award. ![]() The Anarchotopia Award This award has been subject to a fair bit of criticism, because there is only one likely winner - but perhaps thats just because we're so awesome! Yet again, the winner of the Anarchotopia award is the Founderless Regions Alliance, crushing the Crusaders of Justice and SRATO beneath its mighty feet. ![]() The Eagles Disobey Award Well Eagle Clan may have thought this one was named after them, but what do they know? The winners of this award lost out to AWP last year, but there was no chance of them not winning this time around - yes, the winner is 10000 Islands, who averaged an amazing 20 missions per month during the last year. ![]() The Blackbird Award There was only one invader group nominated for this award, which shows just how much the invading world has fallen apart. However, Unknown must be given credit for their regular update raids, which have kept us all busy. ![]() The Sir Lans Award The old 'updater of the year award', now re-named after one of the best updaters of the last few years, was one of two awards whose winner was decided with the very last vote cast. Therefore, an honourable mention should go to Ananke, who lost to Wopruthien by a single vote. However, credit must go to Wopruthien - a relative newcome to defending, who has impressed everyone with his regular presence at update. ![]() The Operation of the Year Award There were several missions which caught the imagination of defenders last year - 404 Region Not Found being a regular victim of invasion, and Utopia being liberated in stylish fashion. However, this award was only ever going to be competed by two missions - the liberation of Belgium, where defenders acquired the password to the region and snuck in before a liberation resolution could be passed, and Feudal Japan, where a massive number of nations moved in, after a campaign lasting several months. I can't deny my delight at Feudal Japan being the winner of this award. Anyone who participated in that mission, should proudly display this image in their signature: ![]() The Newcomer of the Year Award The last year has seen many impressive newcomers to the world of defending, and really all the nominations deserved this award. However, there was only one winner - Cocodian of the FRA, whose calm leadership belies his status as a relative newcomer. ![]() The Dipes Award I know what you're all thinking - this one is Numero's. Since the introduction of this award, it has been won both years by Numero Capitan, perhaps because he blackmailed everyone to vote for him. However we have a real shock in this year. This was the second award decided by the last vote cast, with Anime Daisuki claiming this year's award, to leave Numero crying into his IP library. ![]() The Worst Invasion Award We only had one nomination for this award, and this just shows how much we screwed up Yes, the winner of this award is Time for the FRA's spectacular failure, with the delegacy given to an invader sleeper, who promptly booted everyone and tried to re-found. Credit is due to Unknown for this sneaky behaviour.![]() The Meltdown of the Year Award This award has impressive luminaries - the Confederacy of Free Regions, The Last Kingdom, and The New Revolution. We had some epic meltdowns this year, including the implosion of The Commonwealth, and Falconias turning invader, but they were all overshadowed by what has to be the worst region of all time - please put your hands together for the ever-amusing Eagle Clan! ![]() The Lifetime Achievement Award for Dedication to Defending This individual really deserves this award for having been one of the leading defenders over the last few years. He's already won two awards this year, which just shows how much people appreciate him. Joining previous winners Pope Hope, Grub, Northern Chittowa and Sir Lans as winners of this award is Anime Daisuki. ![]() The Defender Quote of the Year We're onto our final award here, and its a more light-hearted one. Narrowly beating a confused Neasmyrna into second place is this:
![]() That concludes the 4th Defender Awards, and I hope the 5th can be as good. Before we leave, I'd like to thank Kobold who made the awards this year. We'll also be having a review of the various awards categories, but not before everyone has had a pint or two in the Founderless Tavern - drinks on me! |
