Season 6 - Individual Player Awards

The prize of prizes the Alliance 'Star Player' award was fiercely contested, both mcspenny and Hero Boy tried valiantly to make it their own, but it was not to be. The Alliance Star Player of Season Six is DeadDog!

The 'Psycho' award is an attempt to recognise those Alliance players who are dedicated to mayhem. Those who treat the lives of their own men with as little respect as they do their opponents. To this end the award goes to the player who has racked up more kills over the season than any other player. It doesn't matter whether its their own men, their opponents, or even innocent spectators, all that matters is the body count.

Ten players managed thirty points or more per game this season. With eight out of then ten coming from division 1 including two 8-Bits and three 99ers, this shows just how ferce life at the top can be. In the end Rogue Element's Zwack topped them all with an average of 32.0 points per game.

The complete opposite of the 'Psycho' award, the 'Guardian Angel' award is for those players who value the lives of their loyal men almost as highly as their own. These are the players who never deploy less than a full medical hospital, and have been known to pass out at the first sign of blood.

The competition must be getting stronger as every season it has been getting harder to keep men alive. This season mcspenny managed to the best only losing 24 points over 6 games

Lockouts, we all know how tough it is to prevent your opponent scoring a single point in a game. This award is for those masters of the game who have turned defense into an art form. In fact these are so hard to come by this award is often not even awarded.

An award for the real ironmen of the Alliance league. For those players who have for whatever reason had to carry their clan through the season.

A good effort from BadBaz and Mr Cartier racking up 34% & 36% of their teams positive points respectively, A pair of Herculean efforts from ICF by Blast Hardcheese and Killjoy with 39% and 54% respectively (93% of the teams points from 2 players) However Koxvold was all that was keeping the squirels afloat in their final season with 62% of their points

Every point counts in Alliance games and the 'Annihilator' award recognises those players who show their opponents no mercy. Those players who have racked up more of those magic 20 point score lines than any others.

This season DeadDog was a clear winner Annihilating all his opponents in all 6 of his games.

The ‘Thriller’ award seeks to highlight those players who put entertainment over glory. Those players who game after game are involved in those matches that are just too tight to call right until the end. So this award goes to the player who has been involved in more games than anyone else that have been decided by a single point. This season only one player managed 3 one point margins, not only that, but he managed to be on the right side of all of them. Well done diceman

Sometimes you find yourself snowed under, against the wall and drowning in the enemy. And then you pull off the most amazing run of kills, skills and destruction to grab the game back from your opponent.

It was difficult to get entrants for this award, but at the last minute LastBullet stepped up with with a recovery from 6-14 to 20-14, closely followed by Ian Sturrock with 10-2 to 15 all. The points gained back were very close and the voting was the same. The result going by one vote to LastBullet

The ‘Oops’ award is for those players who made the ultimate blunder, killing more of their own troops in one fell swoop than their opponents could possibly dream of.

It what is always one of the hotly contested categories, even steven, Jaques Cartier (the French one) and General Strike went head to head for the coveted banana skin. Sadly for even steven he slipped on the skin he won last season - shooting his own guardian's shield was not enough to retain the title. He came third behind the General's self missiling, with the self warping dance of Jaques Cartier's Greys claiming the fruit.

Image is everything and for the best image of Alliance season, a special award.

Jaques Cartier went for the double with a well timed spawn ambush of some unfortunate marines. He beat of the challenge of zipdisk's destruction derby and prismatic's missile ballet but was foiled by diceman's incredible missile ducking sentry. So this year's award and a new pair of Grey underwear go to diceman

In October 2004 the LSN community heard of the passing away of Pearse Guina, better known to us as The Least Among Us. As founder, long time captain and player of the Rock N Roll Suicides, Least gave a great deal to LSN and Alliance in particular. As a special memorial, we have created a new award in his honour, The Least Among Us Veterans Award. To reward those long term players in Alliance, the requirements are simple, to have played at least one game in every season of Alliance with the ultimate winner being decided by their contribuition in the season just passed.

Only one player was eligible for this award, but this didn't worry the community who voted (very almost) unanimously, the only noes suspiciously appearing to come from the modest nominee with two names. So for his tireless work variously leading, captaining, and adminining alliance over many years, we are proud to present this seasons veteran award to the very deserving Big Mad Drongo
