The Link to the Newbies Award (AKA The Link Award)

::clears throat::

I would like to announce the introduction of an award dedicated to those in the JA who go our of their way to make the entrance into the Academy a bit easier for those who are new. I am looking for candidates to this award, especially recommendations from the people who have joined under three months ago. The reason for this award is because I myself am technically a newbie still, and I swear I wouldn't be doing as good as I am right now without the help of certain people I have met (you know who you are). Thus, I really want to express the gratitude that I think most newbies here feel when we get help on the servers or whatever. Please, I want you guys to take this award seriously, because I know that each one of us were noobs in one point in our lives. Help me build this award and give it the people who really deserves this. Thank you.

As far as I see it there is a problem with the award: It's no the new ones that is posting nominations but the little older people. We need to have some more posting nominations than just the oldbies and all that.

I want to nominate arcuss. He helped me out SO MUCH when I 1st got here. Without me asking him, he showed me the 1st basic moves and basically got me ready for the Learner Trial, but they removed the ranks the week I was gonna take it.:(

Plus, the guy listens to cool music!
(except for his Milli-Vanilli and Kenny G albums ;))

It's hard to pick out single persons who should have the award, many here are so helping, just look at my welcome topic, http://academy.jediknightii.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=908

(Had forgotten you'd posted there too Link)

And I must say that I back this topic up, 100%. Unfortunaly I can't remember who showed me how to DFA (damn you memory!) or else I would have nominated that person.

Acey: How much are you gonna pay for a nomination? j/k :)

Put a name of someone you'd like to nominate, Acey. It better be someone that has influenced you greatly and in a positive way when you were starting out in the JA. This award is to recognize those who have contributed greatly to the learning expderience here at the JA.

I am putting a deadline for this, so that I can get some time to determine the recipient. I am accepting nominations until 12:00 am on May 12, Pacific time. All nominations made after will not be counted to this awarding of The Link Award. Thank you to all of you who have already helped me with this. Please, all of you who read this, try to tell your friends about this, as I really want to make an informed decision! Tell your friends about this, so that everyone will know the good things the recipients have done for the Academy when it is finally awarded!

I nominate Buzz vader :D

weird choice you say, but gimme a chance....

Most people when they help you out, they act like real nice guys, "hi, how are you ? You look nice today, can I rub your feet ?"

If you have a question they'll go "sure this is how you do it, want me to show you ? Don't forget to tell the JAT's and JAC's that I helped you :D"

With Buzz this is not the case. If you have a question he'll answer it, if you have a problem he'll solve it. None of that ninnying around he'll give you a straight answer.

!!BUZZ TO WIN!!

It took some searching on my part but I found my "hi I'm new here post" that I made when I first stepped off the transport at the Academy's front gate. Here it is:

http://academy.jediknightii.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=17

I nominate everyone who posted in that thread because they all never stop posting in new people's threads. That's dedication.
