| Cookie of Awesomeness In general, gamers are not very loyal, which is why we've seen some people just disappear without a word, never to be heard from again. Then we have these other individuals who work hard as volunteers, and you know you can always depend on them. They do not just do their jobs, they do their jobs and then some. In other words, they are awesome.
I'm giving these Cookies of Awesomeness as a reward for these individuals. It's just a small forum award cookie, but it represents much more that. It's a way for me to thank them on behalf of our community.
Also I encourage everyone to give +Karma to these people if you agree with me and think they deserve it.

Batch #1People who will receive a cookie (in random order):
jmizzle7 has been a member of this community longer than most people here. He has also been doing a great job as a Global Moderator. This kind of
dedication and hard work must be rewarded.
Lyelle is probably unknown to many forum people because he's seen more in the new Wiki we are building. Lyelle got a cookie because he has that rare quality of having
initiative. 95% of people don't do anything without someone constantly telling them what to do. With Lyelle it's been awesome because things just happen without me having to do anything about it. It's really awesome.
Jumbalumba has been working really hard with organizing PvP tournaments, and at some points he has had to do it all by himself. That's not easy. Running tournaments can be quite tedious, so we should respect him for doing that.
Kael Hate has also been working really hard lately in the "Card Ideas and Art" section. There's a lot of work involved in organizing those cards (much more than people realize), and because of Kael Hate, that section is starting to look really good.
Planplan has been really busy with coding and has given us awesome things like Deck Image Creator and Card Image Creator. So much in fact that we should probably give him two cookies (we'll see about that later). After seen so many failed attempts in coding by previous members (who have now disappeared), it's great to see a
professional who actually finishes projects and gives perfect results.
Batch #2People who will receive a cookie (in random order):
killsdazombies is well known to most community members. Tournament Organizer, super active, always ready to help, and wanting to do more. I really have nothing bad to say about him. killsdazombies has the kind of helpful attitude that makes our community awesome. Here, have a cookie.
girlsgeneration has done a lot of things like helped with tournaments, but her biggest contribution by far is Elements Wiki where she has done an
amazing job as a Wiki Editor. And the key here is that she has not only done her job, but she has done her job and then some. I really like it when people take initiative and things happen without me having to issue orders or micro-manage. Usually when I start slowly planning to do something on the Wiki, I see that girlsgeneration has already done it. I love this kind of initiative and it deserves a cookie!
Batch #3Starting from this batch, I will stop making those lame speeches for each person, reason being that I'm not very good at writing them.
This one was a no-brainer. Everyone knows these two, and know how much both of them have contributed to this community. Both have been helping the community in many different areas, including the Council. We are extremely lucky to have you both and I hope you guys will stay with us until the day they shut down Elements servers. Please accept this awesome Cookie as a humble reward.

No cookie for you? Don't worry, more cookies coming soon!
I know there are probably many veteran members who also feel they deserve a cookie. Keep in mind that these cookies are for doing
volunteer work that helps the community. Simply having a high post count isn't enough. But don't worry, I will give out more cookies later, and I'll give out "Invisible Cookies of Awesomeness" for those who are awesome, but not quite as awesome enough to get the real thing (no joke, I will actually give those). I already have many names in mind, but more about that later.
