If a problem appears where the letter of regulations do not match the spirit of the regulations, it is quite normal to adjust the letter and not the spirit.

Though I understand that the Amarrian faith has a history of doing the opposite.

On a similar vain I see that Kazzzi has failed AGAIN to become Amarrian Capsuleer of the Year.

I think that the next contests should be run by the sisters of eve to ensure impartiality.

At least we allowed Kazzzi to be nominated.

We all know nominations are near pointless as long as a short list and then a follow up internal only voting process exists.

Anyone can be nominated with a daft enough reason spun, then you just quietly handpick the select few you'd like.


Here the organisers are quite simply cutting out a joke application in public, because they won't honour an observed and well reported double agent. At least they're doing it with honesty and transparency.

So you think that arbitrarily refusing nominations in contravention of your own rules is a better way of running things?

You probably shouldn't use those words around Rodj. They might confuse him.

Really, I'm noticing a decided lack of serious nominations. Obviously we can ignore smurfsbrigade entirely here, but what's with all the nominations for this Ava Starfire person? Never heard of her and her combat record is rather uninspiring.

In the interest of putting concerted support behind a legitimate candidate, I second the nomination of Annah Kitheran.

Please take into account that Ava almost always flies solo. On top of that,she only flies minmatar ships, and of them, usually only assault frigates or tech 1 frigates. When you remember this, her record becomes more impressive. She also often fights alone against greater numbers, for example here where she defeated both a succubus and a firetail at the same time (neither the stiletto nor the cynabal played any role in that fight).

She also plays a more peaceful role, and has gone to great pains to try and understand the Amarrian people, rather than just hating them blindly like so many of us do.

I didn't expect this, but I'll second this nomination, almost by definition it would seem.

Quite simple. The award was open for all Minmatar out there, with people being able to nominate who they deem worthy, as per vox populi. After a certain individual has gotten a certain number of nominations, the organizer suddenly decided they'd be excluded from the ballot for no real reason given. From what I've seen I can only suppose the the problem why mr. Arbane is seen as less-then-equal than his peers is because he is advocating a peaceful solution to the conflict at hand.
I'm sure it would be quite a thorn in a number of people's sides if the person who wins this isn't a bloodthirsty murderer to fully represent the true facade of the Tribal Liberation Force.
Ergo, it was and stays a farce. But go on, I'm sure you can make it even more entertaining by the time the nominations close.

You know, I fervently advocate a peaceful solution to the conflict between the Empire and the Minmatar people. Everyone knows that.

Funny... no one is mentioning that as "a problem" with me, eh?

He's a goddamn spy and blood traitor. May his name be forgotten.

Kazzzi, of Ushra'Khan, is Not Eligible ?

Not that I pay attention, but I didn't see anything explicitly excluding him.

As with the PIE awards, I will forgo the rules section, and nominate myself.
