I'm no sure having awards is all that important anyway.. what do they 
really mean? last years awards had it's problems yes.. and not due to 
anything gypsy did....

With the exception of silver dragon, does any one really put a lot of value 
on these awards or flash them around to prove that they are indeed the best 
blue or red?  I don't sign my messages SLG, 2nd place most improved yada 
yada yada...I don't see anyone flashing their tw award like it was badge of 
acceptance or greatness...or even associating themselves with the awards 
they've won

With the tw league up and running couldn't one get an Idea of who the 
better players are by looking at the rankings? Do awards really paint the 
correct picture of who is the best at anything? Many of us felt that awards 
were being given away based on popularity hence the fact that players never 
heard of, were winning awards... if that's true, then where is the value in 
the awards themselves? for example...Does prestone really need to know h'es 
the best ceo or that kemper is the best killer or that res is the best 
smack talker? If you've played the game you know what these players 
abilities are... If your disliked by the community, what are your chances 
of getting votes even if you are the best at something...

I think awards are really not that important... as for the better players, 
you know who they are by exp or word of mouth, you know the best 
server/sysop by their popularity/reputation etc... awards for the most part 
i think are moot ......
