  1. Have a look around the community for people you want to be appreciated! New round coming July 2014
    Hey guys, we have a great community here on EMC and what we'd really like to do is start appreciating those players that do such an amazing job at being part of it all. There's a lot of you out there, so we've launched this new project that will highlight and reward the players that are such assets to the Empire.

    How it works
    • Each "round" has a span of 6 months, more or less. During this time players can build up their respect in the community, skills and just generally help out EMC.
    • Players can nominate those that have proved to be what we're looking for towards the end of the round to put them up to win a rupees prize and a unique EMC item.
    • The players with nominations are then looked at by the staff and whoever deserves the awards will win them (2-4 players).
    • Prizes: Special awards and 10,000r to a random nominator.
    How you can earn respect and possibly be nominated in future rounds
    • Being polite, respectful and well mannered
    • Involving yourself in the community
      • Thoughtful and attentive posts on the forums
      • Suggesting what you consider to be good ideas
      • Contributing to and creating discussions and debates - being respectful whilst doing so.
    • Helping all players, new and old, banned and active.
    • Showing inituative and organising fun, well planned events and contests
    • Helping promote/others promote EMC
    Spamming the forums, donating/giving away rupees, being active and the like, although it may win nominations, won't win you any awards. This is not a popularity contest. Asking people to nominate you or doing it for yourself will result in you being banned from any future appreciation rounds.

    Summary
    This project is a biannual event that will allow our great community members to be appreciated. Stay tuned every Summer and Winter!

  11. I have a suggestion for this, actually. I'd suggest breaking up the awards amongst 3-5 players that are best deserved instead of just one.

    The way it is, 5 people could equally be putting lots of effort and positive energy into this community but won't win because there's only 1. You could split the award to 3-5 (ish?) you could recognize the people that have done a phenomenal job with EMC without picking favorites and letting people down. Of course if there's only 1-2 people that actually deserve it you don't have to give 3-5, but rather just those who truly deserve it.

    Just a thought, otherwise this is very nice and will greatly encourage players to take part in EMC itself :)

  14. This is basically a "here's what we're gonna do, but we're not telling you what we're gonna do". :p

  19. I LOVE this idea! It gives people a person to strive to be like, and a person who for new players, a person to look up to. All in all, fantastic idea, can't wait to see who wins.
