Would it be possible to see a list of past winners and the acheivments that earned them these honors??

Indeed it would.

110 Winners - Jodie Amille and Nephilim Xeno
111 Winners - Grr and Lost InCogneto
112 Winners - zero2espect and Dunn Idaho

I nominate Alistair Cononach.

For speaking Truth to Power, for detailing that being a Good Amarrian does not mean having to be a aggressive Religious Zealot or brutal Slave owner or Tyranical slavery supporter, for explaining that enlightenment does not require the whip or the needle, but an open mind and a desire for truth, freedom and equallity, and that above all else rationality and logic and intelligence and a belief in judging all by their deeds, not their faith or words, for promoting that these things can and should be a core ethic of every Amarrian.

The long-overdue Amarrian Enlightenment and Reformation is an inevitabillity. The old schakles of slavery, the bindings of faith-based-State-tyrany and oppression will be cast aside, and replace by the Rule of FAIR Law, Equallity, Enlightenment, Libertarianism, Freedom and Liberty for one and all, an era of Personal Responabillity and accountabillity above all else, of good deeds rising above the false prophet of shallow "good" words, of every man and women judged not by some faceless State Religious Institution and it's self-described representatives, but by the actions one takes for and against their fellow man.

For being the only man in the Amarr Bloc who, given the right circusmtances, could bridge the gap of endless hatred, violence and warfare between the CVA and UK. For beign the only man who even cares about such a healing.

For these things, and for being a Good Inty pilot, I nominate.....me.

However, you may not nominate either yourself, a member of your current corporation, or a current member of PIE Inc.

I, Lord Vaari... ...will once again nominamet my self.

I nominate Alistair Cononach.

...you may not nominate either yourself, a member of your current corporation, or a current member of PIE Inc.

I support/vote for/nominate Vaari, although he has done so for himself already. I support him for bringing us completely unbiased Empire-related news, entirely factual statistics, and writing quality that surpasses even the ACN network.

He is truly the voice of intelligence and wit within the Empire-aligned bloc.

I assume I am allowed to nominate..?

Of course you are.

We will happily accept nominations from anyone - no matter how vile, barbaric or depraved they may be.

This is why you should keep your clones updated, people.

no matter how vile, barbaric or depraved they may be.

To be presented to the Amarrian, Khanid or Ni-Kunni pod pilot deemed to have achieved the most on behalf of the Empire during the last twelve months.

This one nominates Tiberious Thessalonia for Amarrian Capsuleer of the Year. And before you scoff, I remind you:
...
But for carrying the torch of Heideran alone for so long

...
You can choose to recognize him for a lifetime of service or revile him for...the last two days.

Emperor Heideran VII is now a relic of the past, along with his failed policies.

None can expect a heathen such as you to comprehend the gravity of his sin.

"Failed"? You mean being one of the few Emperors who didn't call for out-and-out war against everyone the Amarr didn't like?

Pathetic, Mitara. You are truly pathetic.

Emperor Heideran VII is now a relic of the past, along with his failed policies.

I was under the impression that speaking of an Emperor like that, even a deceased Emperor, is heresy and a grave sin. The Emperor's words are law and divine, I thought... and speaking out against them - whether or not they are failed policies - is an unthinkable act.

Am I misunderstanding?

Am I misunderstanding?

Yes, failed. Look at what trying to be peaceful with the barbarians brought upon the Empire - an invasion.

I have to admit, I'm at a loss as to who to nominate. I'm unsure if the people I would put forward would be honored or insulted to be nominated. Regardless I'll be putting forth a few names, as I see no provision limiting the amount of nominees I suggest.

The late Raze Valadeus and his wife Victoria. Simply put, for being what I feel Amarrians should be in their heart of hearts. Raze and his wife may not have been the most capable swords of the Empire but they were certainly capable hands of God. The two of them were guiding lights for other children of the Empire. And yes, perhaps that light may have cast shadows some would rather not see, or bring things into view that people would prefer to leave in the dark corners of their lives, they were none the less fiercely burning lights. Flicker as they might with failings, failings we all have as humans, their light burned with a purity of faith I've not seen before or since.

Next, and no doubt feathers shall be ruffled by this but, Tiberious Thessalonia. I won't be making any attempt to disregard his recent choice, but I will point out that this award stipulates a 12-month period not just the most recent events. With that in mind, I again feel that Tiberious, in some ways, is an Amarrian cut from the same cloth as Raze and Victoria. An Amarrian who's faith lead him to speak out against commonly accepted tradition and methods. Who was brave enough to acknowledge that we Amarr, while being the chosen of God, are not perfect and that our own path is as rife with trials and missteps as any other child of the Divine. There are those who will cry out that he is now a heretic, a betrayer of the faith as well as humanity, but I am not prepared to forget who he was and what he did prior to recent events. To continue the analogy of faith and light, I'll add that even a dim, flickering, and seemingly distant light can, at times, be the light that provides a soul lost at sea with the guidance they need to reach the shore.


Now, as for the award for the ethnically non-Amarrian, Ni-Kunni, or Khanid, I was tempted to nominate Elsebeth Rhiannon or Ava Starfire for providing the more militant "Loyalists" with something to keep you all busy. But with further thought I realized that even in jest that be contrary to the spirit of this award. With their quick words and occasional shortness of temper, along with hostile intent, they do indeed provide you with something to keep you all busy, however that doesn't help further Imperial interests. In fact it harms the long term interests of the Empire, which I'm sure they'll both be at least partly glad to hear. But by being visible and challenging the words of the Loyalist Bloc they distract you from more in depth study of the Scriptures, keeping you blind to truth and clinging more to tradition than you do faith. So in short, no non-ethnic Amarrian, Ni-Kunni, or Khanid come to mind for me to nominate.

I will continue to fight for a real peace in the cluster, where all men and women and various in-betweens will be free to create, and live, and love, free from pain and despair.

Oh, you're leaving your current corp so soon again?

Eran Mintor for Loyal Servant.
Mystical Might for Amarrian Capsuleer of the Year.

Honestly, rewards don't seem quite as impressive as they were 3 years ago.

*snip*

You are not right person to judge the men infinite better than you. Our emperors and empreses are elevated to their high position by the God. Remember that wehen you start throwing accusations by their "failed" policies.

Faithful brothers and sisters,

it has come to my attention that many unworthy heathens have already promoted more or less suitable candidates in this forum.

I think I speak for us all if I nominate the venerable Nadika as faithful amarrian of the year. Despite her humble origins it is her who promotes the profileration of high quality equipment amongst her betters.

In regards to the nomination of a loyal servant I am not quite as sure since I do not have any interrest in the meddling of subhumans, be they loyal to the empire or not.
However, I have been asked by my brothers of the faith, and also through the overseer of our slaves by them, to nominate a certain Flyinghotpocket. Aparently this breeder is getting a certain ammount of coverage in local media as a combat pilot fighting for the empress cause.

May God bless you all faithful brothers and sisters,

the humble Anselm Gruen.

Ahh now this I can agree, I shall cast my votes thus.

Here Vaari and I agree.

Remember of whom you speak.

Here Vaari and I agree.

Remember of whom you speak.

I would like to nominate Mystical Might, for the following reasons:
Great progress against the Tribal Liberation Force and their allies who hide behind "neutrality".
Continuing to be highly entertaining in milita chat, thereby increasing the morale of the entire crusade.
Last but not least, accusing enough people of being spies to keep people on their toes.

Mystical Might is a known pirate. Unless of course you consider that piracy under the flag in the regions of the Bleak Lands and Devoid is the best way to serve the Empire.

I nominate Silas Vitalia for causing a nice influx of exotic slaves from Querious into the Khanid Kingdom. It's a pity that the source was cut off so quickly, though. She has shown a remarkable resilience in the face of setbacks that send lesser pilots into permanent retirement. I'm curious to see what her next initiative will be.

I've not been very active in space recently, so I can't say that I know of a "loyal servant" I know well enough to nominate.

Someone should nominate me. Im true amarrian nobleman, who is constantly overseeing the purity of our faith and battling for the rights of industrial spaceship captains to do their work without insults.

You have already been nominated in the first pages of this discussion.

Yes, well reason why I was nominated by the hexers are not satisfying. If no loyalist will put my name forward, I wish to withdraw from this competition.

Loyal Servant of the Year: Graelyn. Who else could have supplied us with the fun of titan bridging, the Summit, and successfully housebroken Eran Mintor? No one!

Capsuleer of the Year: Gotta be Vaari. That moustache demands recognition.

Amarrian Capsuleer of the Year:
To be presented to the Amarrian, Khanid or Ni-Kunni pod pilot...
Loyal Servant of the Year:
To be presented to the non-Amarrian pod pilot...

Heart's In The Right Place but, Fighting For The Wrong Side Award
Nominee: Lyn Farel

I vote for Vaari for being the only Amarr who does not take himself or the Empire seriously.

I am sorry but I fight for no side.

And therein lies the problem Pilot Farel. You are mistaken if you feel that you fight for no side.

Bah, I think you need some new categories:

Boot Licker of the Year
Nominee: Eran Mintor

Blake Bloviator Trophy
Nominee: Rodj Blake

Heart's In The Right Place but, Fighting For The Wrong Side Award
Nominee: Lyn Farel

Ugliest Amarrian Female
Nominee: Silas Vitalia

Old Pervert Looking to Scam A Few Young Virgins Award
Nominee: Merdaneth

Best Slaver In A Comedic Supporting Role
Nominee: Vaari

And therein lies the problem Pilot Farel. You are mistaken if you feel that you fight for no side.

Wasn't there something in Amarr scripture about everyone serving something? Seems to me that everyone fights for something as well, whether they fight to enrich their wallet, for personal glory, for their government, their family honor, etc. You of all people, being a student of logic, should know that even choosing not to choose still involves making a choice. One cannot simply opt out.

Be that as it may, I still would like to recognize your efforts on behalf of rationality and reason.

Wait, I thought you mentionned sides, and not choices and ideals. Unless you consider "knowledge" to be a side...

And for the Empire ? This is laughable. I have always served them to help enforce my own ideals and agenda, not theirs. Considering that I also served the Federation in between, I thought it should be obvious by now. But feel free to please yourself with black and white views if they suit you better than reality.

This is the problem with nationalistic extremists/partisans like you : someone that does not follow a faction by the book is too weird a concept to grasp, so you have to force them into the little labels that you have at your disposal.

Wow, I paid you a compliment and you call me names. I take back my nomination in that case.

I didn't mention anything about you still working for the Amarrians, Farel. I'm quite aware of the fact that you left KoMC. If you re-read what I said you'll note that I stated that I admired your work on behalf of reason and logic, not the morally corrupt Empire.

Also you might wish to run the words humor and sarcasm through your universal translator. Or ask Vaari...

I guess the IGS has become extremely serious business and only Muck Raker can have any fun tweaking noses.

I have previously nominated Friar Kite for this award. He is of True Amarrian descent and can provide geneological proof to that effect.

The judges will now produce two shortlists from these names before passing them on to the PIE membership who will vote for the winners.

Let me make this very clear. If Vaari does not win this award it will be an outrage and travesty.

It will deprive trillions of people across the cluster a moment of utter hilarity at reading his acceptance speech, and an untold number of moments, of spontaneous chuckling at there desks, for weeks afterwards.

Why im not in that shortlist?

Out of curiosity, how many of those names were shortlisted last year?

is it bad to barly recognise anyone on those lists short or otherwise.

Contributions to the empire? really? More like contributions to pie corp.

The long lists are entirely dependent upon nominations provided by people outside of PIE.

Question: Why do you take nominations from the outside anyway? Isn't that kind of public relation stuff unworthy of such a noble, splendid andGÇöwe all knowGÇöold entity such as PIE? Because let's be honest: This verbiage aims just to give you some publicity. In the process you rule out the unworthy and we are all amazed what fancy conservative traditionalists you are! What I find interesting is that you need to create a quasi-democrativ procedure and a public arena to do so. This strongly reminds me of the spontaneous debates which can be observed in the Gallente Communist Party...

Love,

Odelya I think you are confused, the 'Adult Film Actress of the Year' contest is in another thread. Move along.

I think your performance in 'Amazing Amarrian Asses' has that one firmly won Silas, don't worry.

The long lists are entirely dependent upon nominations provided by people outside of PIE.

The lists also reflect the unending march of time.

Those of us who have plied teh spacelanes for many many years, since even the dawn of teh Capsuleer Era, may not be as familiar with the efforts or words or works of some of the new generation of pilots.

Indeed, I've found too that many of us suffer from a sense of regionalism. If the effort is not aimed in Providence, for example, I may not know them myself, despite being a loyalist.

There are days when I look around, and even within my own Alliance I see many faces I know not.

Such is the march of time, and the grinder that is the life of a Capsuleer. Those who don't wind up stabbed in the back in a dark corridor in some null-sec station somewhere with their clones destoryed, or who don't go insane from the endless existence we live and the death and destructionw e see and inflict daily, often retire to lives of luxury, faith or otherwise move planetside with the wealth of a thousand planetary Governors.

They'll always be new names and faces to take their place, to pick up the various gauntlets of the various ideologies and beliefs we Capsuleers promote and fight for.

I would say thats why I nominate Lord Garreck, a man who I am proud to call my good friend, a man not of noble Amarrian birth, but who came to the faith and more, to the belief in the CVA Mission, on his own, and has been a stalwart defender of NRDS and a peaceful Amarrian Providence from that time forward.

While G may not have the cache of those fighting the ongoing proxy war between the Empire and the Matari, he is none-the-less as good a man, as good an AMARRIAN, as I could ever hope to fly with and work with.

You are still in CVA? I thought they had fired you already.

I have sent letter.....

Hello Vaari,

This not the time or place for this, but if you must know, the religious arm of CVA is extremely sure that Brother Cononach is not a GÇ£HexerGÇ¥ and he has not lost his faith. Just expresses it differently right now. He is serving Gods purpose as always. And please remember sometimes we all have bad days.
If you would like to think on the matter in a quiet place or consult with the CVA Clergy team, come visit us sometime at the Garden Abby I would love to give you a tour of our cathedral.

I apologize for disrupting the discussions, and I will let everyone get on with their duties.

-Rorin Cutter

This is outrageous! I cannot even find words to describe my feelings about this decision! Im Lord Vaari....
