Before I joined Lynx earlier this year I just played random team autodistribution games (Imperium Romanium No Split ftw) and I wasn't deliberately trying to improve.

Since joining Lynx and becoming a 101st tutor I've learned to play strategic games and my AWP tour record is now 11-1.

Rookie of the year: FDR
Most improved player: I had a difficult time with this one.. so few options in 2016... but I think it fits Semicedevine the best. Judging from Wolf clans forum, yes he definetely did improve. Juq could be called the most retrogessed player.

Memorable forum moment: Cards Against Humanity
Best thread of the year: https://www.warlight.net/Forum/134676-s-inside-mailbox-2
Image of the year: http://i.imgur.com/7wdGQAL.png
Most depressing moment: the moment when Fizzer banned inline images for non-members. This was a turning point in forum history and led to the essential forum decrease in quality.
Dramatist of the year: Colonel (>When Conservative thinks otherwise)


So guys it is that time of the year again where we discuss our best and our worst moment. This current year was full with abusive ... trolls. Ranging from Tajik, Tyrion, Karl, Squiggles and U who all were responsible for a devestating damage to our forums and consequentially urged Fizzer to implement radical forum changes. An abundance of mail threads were also created during these times and the community was thriving during the start of the year. With games like Cards Against Humanity (thank DDB) and the Hunger Games, it could be said that the off-topic was one huge community, but unfortunately that didn't last long. Politic threads and 'should it be legal' threads quickly dominated the forum board with their unnecessary quantity. After Fizzer's radical changes the forum began to lose its appeal to its once loyal audience. Forumers have become less active now and the future with Tabby seems desperate now.

note: I doubt Von Jewburg to be the most improved player in 2016. He had some real problems with his mind and who can't forget he did the most regrettable name change while facing a difficult time.

Most improved player: Panagiotis
Troll of the year: Fizzer, commanders were a good troll.
Strategist of the year: Ollie, Andy and MotD have all done very well :D I guess I'll give it to MotD for getting 1st on two ladders and maintaining those positions (also props to his teammates obviously)

nobody worth nominating in any category except troll of the year and that has to go to the fuckstick who created 2,000 new threads a day and shut the forums down for a week. forgot his name but he's a terrorist, i remember that.

His name was Wally Balls.

I nominate the whole OT for the most improved since nobody has nominated Shred for the spammer category so far.

if you don't mention it it'll go away stewie just stop mentioning it

#neverforget

That's how disaster 2.0 strikes

oh, and if name is anonym doesn't win troll of the year, something is wrong with the picking "committee"

Thanks Belgian.

Panagiotis + Semice are also good candidates for most improved. I've seen how they both work hard to improve; it's a shame I didn't know them before they got good, so I didn't see their growth firsthand.
