War #4 - Sportsmanship Award

A sportsmanship thread has been posted in each team's secret section.  Each team will select three players from outside their own team (Timer Expired!)  Votes from each team will be aggregated and the player deemed most worthy by all War participants will receive a forum award icon.  This thread is an opportunity to discuss the award as a community, including opinions of players who did not participate in War.

Clarification:  I assume that as the wording suggests, we're submitting each team member's choices rather than coming up with one nominee as a team, correct?

You're coming up with three nominees as a team.

Gentle reminder bump.  There's still time left but there's no reason not to send it in today.

Hmm gentle bumping brings back some bad memories....

What will eventually be made public? All individual votes by the teams, all nominees or just the winners?

[kev]

One last gentle reminder.  If your team hasn't PM'd a vote, please send one by tomorrow.

Congrats to Jappert and MatrimKK, voted
best Sportsmen by all War participants!

Each of them will receive the following award icon in recognition:    The achievement is especially significant given the enormous assortment of players who exhibited sportsmanship during the event.  On a related note, we'd like to thank all War participants for making this a fun event to help organize.  A total of 24 players were nominated but many more were discussed.

Well deserved and congratulations!

Glad to see it.  Those two were two of time's three votes, Shaliyah being the other one, so I'm happy that they were recognized by the community in general.  I'd also like to mention that my vote within team Time itself went to Zeru, because there was one game in our war match where we desynced and he graciously granted me the win because of my board position, rather than cause a bunch of needless drama.  He won the match anyway

[Jappert]

Wow! Thanks a lot everyone.

I expected a vote here and there from people I fought against but not this many. I've always personally thought that sportsmanship in an event like this is very important, wich is why I regret the way it got discarded last war. (not discarded maybe, but cancelled) I've done my best not to gloat to much after a win and not to be to much of a sore loser, even though it was difficult at times

Again, thanks a lot!

Team Water and myself wish to thanks Jippy, Kuroaitou and Bjessee (among others ofc) for their sportmanship during this war!
