- Strongest 2v2 team - the best/strongest 2v2 team, using whatever criteria you apply to 'best' or 'strongest'
- CW MVP - a player who has contributed the most to his/her clan's Clan Wars results in 2023 (doesn't necessarily have to be a top 5 team)
- CL MVP - a player who has contributed the most to his/her clan's Clan League 16 results (doesn't necessarily have to be a Division A team or even a team that won their division, but their contributions were phenomenal to get good results), and remember this is CL16, not the currently ongoing and unfinished CL17
- Popular vote - cast a vote for whoever you think the most popular Warzoner is, whatever criteria you wish to use for this
- Community member of the Year - someone who did the most for the community in 2023

- GOAT - vote for the player whether active or inactive who you feel has earned the status of Warzone Greatest Of All Time as of Dec 2023

- You can just answer the question, or you can add some reasoning for your answer.
- When giving responses for players, you can just use their names if they are well-known players (eg: Alex, Rufus, Tacky, Norme, Gunslinger, etc) but for anyone whose name you can't just drop into a message in GC and be sure everyone knows who you mean, you'd best provide the player URL (eg: https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=7733320768&u=alexclusive_1 for Alex); and same goes if there are multiple players by that name (eg: Xeno likely means https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=3262000156&u=Xenophon_1 or maybe his alt https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=4282292854&u=Xeno_2 you're talking about WZC but if you got confused b/c of my Idle joke above you might actually have meant https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=41133442645&u=Xeno_3)

Hope I did this right. This sounds like fun!

[Strongest 1 v 1 player] Buns 157
[Strongest 2 v 2 team] Bodski & Texx (strong CL team, and their exploits are often heard in GC)
[CW MVP] Matutake (Prime) (likely the strongest foe one can ever face in SE1W)

[Popular vote] Texx (tough opponent, biggest leader of Harmony, involved heavily in AWP, strong GC personality, he has it all)
[Community member of the year] Samurai Jack (the SDC podcast gives so much valuable insight to every person he interviews, including ones less well known)
[Best clan] HAWKS (one of the longest lasting clans who still stay true to its original purpose)
[GOAT] Rufus (his dominance in the MTL sustained over six years is spectacular)
[Infamous] NONO (the documentation of his alt army and sabotaging CW just to spite Fizzer says it all, really)
[Best CW match] https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=33724615 (this is one of the most improbable wins in com LD possible)

[Best GC personality] WarTog (one of the only users who keeps the kayfabe up at all times in his posts)
[Best mapmaker] Lionheart (In addition to the below map, the Trippel Tafl board in both versions is so fun to play with in QM & seasonal games)
[Best new map] Pellilu 1944 (Lionheart) (so much historical accuracy documented in the forum thread that detailed its development)

[Strongest 1v1 player] tornado - a lot of players to chose from but on a subjective note he is the one I can't beat (tornado if you're reading, it will happen one day!)

[Strongest 2v2 team] adrenaline & FleXUS - they crush anyone that face them in the ladder and in CW

[CW MVP] FleXUS - both for games results and managing skills is top notch. (If the wording on the category was more precise to only account for games results in relations to his clan I would have said Texx)

[CL MVP] rakleader - numbers don't lie

[Popular vote] Tacky - everybody knows him and likes him (how could they not? he's awesome)

[Community member of the Year] Let's fight - CL organizer is the most ungrateful job there is, he did it greatly!

[Best clan] HAWKS - no brainer, no need for explanations, everybody knows it

[Infamous] Texx - Hate it or love it, he always makes people talk (I love it). On his way to be one of the greatest, mark my words

[Best mentor] Let's fight - he taught me all I know

[Best GC personality] stefano36000 - makes GC great again!

[Best Mapmaker] Lionheart - mapmaker GOAT

[Best New Map] https://www.warzone.com/Map/44165-Star-Wars-RP-Map-BWing-Edition by Coenquistatore - it's made with passion

[Best idler] Ivan0 - why not a real category? Stop being elitist, idlers have a scientific approach and put in the effort, they deserve recognition

Does the mod have to be created during 2023 to qualify for the category? Category description “ coolest new mod of 2023 ” seems like it has to but someone’s already voted for a mod that wasn’t created during 2023.

So glad to see that Warzone Awards are back! Indeed, better late than never! Thanks krinid!

@Dan yeah, the OP clearly specifies that the nomination has to be for achievements in 2023.

Ooh, they're back! Awesome.

I can't judge most of these, because I have no knowledge of the competitive scene whatsoever.
But I can vote on some categories!

[Popular vote] Must be Nathan (https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=3717129668&u=Nathan_1), who reliably rates and constructively critiques new maps, and who receives more admiration for it than he seems comfortable with.

[Community member of the Year] Also voting Samurai Jack (https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=56135429640&u=Samurai+Jack_1) for his great podcast.

[Best clan] Presumably it's not-done to vote for one's own clan? Then I will vote for Murk (https://www.warzone.com/Clans/?ID=826) because they have the best clan name.

[Infamous] Krinid (https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=79105823914&u=krinid_1) for the vile act of Warzone Awards necromancy.

[Best GC personality] JK_3 (https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=31105111944&u=JK_3_1) for being global chat Mom.

[Best Mapmaker] Lionheart is amazing, but we all know that. So I'll vote for Shinigami Knight (https://www.warzone.com/Profile?p=66118957764&u=Shinigami+Knight_1) who made very promising maps for a (relative) newcomer.

[Best New Map] I think Milky Way Alpha (https://www.warzone.com/Map/44249-Milky-Way-Alpha) deserves some love!

@DanWL, yes it should be for mods released in 2023. Let's leave the ones created this year for the 2024 awards (;

on this theme, your FFA game nomination started in Jan 2024, so not eligible for a 2023 award

"popular vote” = simply a popularity vote, doesn't necessarily have to do any specific contributions; maybe the player is popular for being helpful, for creating great templates, for interesting forum threads; whatever in your mind makes someone 'popular'

“community member of the year” = someone who contributes to and improves the Warzone community

Using forum rather than a poll website allows knowing who voted and you aren’t required to answer all parts at once.

to the few who have commented on 'best Idler' - feel free to vote on it, if people actually want this category, i'll include it

tbh the reason i put it down as a joke is b/c it's not really a contest; it'd be like having a category for "most successful CW clan" - we already know who wins it, it's not really a competition, it's a 1-man category

that said, it was initially in the list, but for the above reason i took it out (and then put it back as a joke category, admittedly to see if anyone bothered to respond to it, and if i'm being honest, it made me smile that a few people did; it made me chuckle to be called elitist on this, lol, b/c i'm a retired Idler myself; the only thing that's left in Idle that i didn't do is what Xeno & Ivan did - the infinite SAsc's)

i suppose one could make an argument that maybe Xeno is the 'best' b/c he did the infinite SAsc first, and i think he did it in 2023, while Ivan's was recently in 2024, but Xeno's pretty quiet whereas Ivan is outspoken and actively posts and keeps Idle discussions ongoing; and while not eligible for 2023, he recently posted a video of how Auto Artifact Swapper works and of his SAsc/infinite SAsc process - so Ivan's a shoo-in next year as well unless someone does something amazing in Idle in 2024, but tbh don't think it's possible b/c there's nothing left to do in Idle that he hasn't done; only other contender could possibly be whoever organized the collection of all the fogbusted Idle maps? that's a huge help to the Idle community

@alpha, what DanWL said

i'm trying to keep this process light weight for the voters; a lot of people just couldn't be bothered going to another site to fill stuff out even if it's just 1 click to get there; some folks complained about the forms from previous years b/c they were concerned it would reveal their true identity (Google Forms), also that it was a lot of repetition of click somewhere/type data, click Next & repeat 50 times, being asked for responses on stuff they had no idea nor cared about, etc; so this is meant to be a quick post/reply so we get some good responses from many people on the specific items they care about and they can skip the stuff they don't

and on forms, i would have to ask people their WZ username to ensure that 1 person doesn't troll submit 100 entry forms (but they could still do this by just using different usernames); at least this way the account names are given & known; would be cool perhaps to leverage the polls that Fizz implemented on WZ itself ... but he hasn't released them for user consumption, just for his own purposes so far; might consider poking him on that for the 2024 awards tho

i also wanted to experiment with the results being available for all to see as opposed to just seeing the results after the fact; sometimes people need to see some answers/ideas in order to generate some thoughts of their own
