Re: Round 28 Awards Post!
Players of the Round - Allied
1) Cityguy: probably the best player I've ever played with. I say this without bias (I would be saying this even if he hadn't been in Toxo). He was one of the top land stealers, was always on the ball and had an unrivalled bloodlust - he is truly militant.

Can i just ask what Cityguy did any different to me or Chewie at the start?
/me shrugs?
In fact, he held the rank 1 eff spot and rank 1 serial killer stat for about a week or 2
after he stopped playing - that's how far ahead he was. The resistance would come and steal a bit of land off us in the evenings, and then Cityguy would be PB/biker rushing their players at all other times. I think this demoralised our enemies a lot and made it easier for us to land on them. It was non-stop with him and it's just a shame that he had to stop playing.
2) Ogluk: you were up there with me in total ticks spent online, so I know how much effort you put in and how much of a pain it must have been at times. Also, from what I gather, you were quite influential in swinging the round in YS's favour.
3) PhoenixChan: joined Toxoplasmosis after we were raped into the ground and put an immense amount of effort into helping us get back on our feet and staying there. PhoenixChan was Toxo's backbone for the second half of the round.
Player of the Round - Solo
Seetal: even though he had help staying alive, he still managed to pull off some nice BRs. I didn't like the bunkers.
Best Offensive Player
Cityguy
Best Defensive Players
Can't speak for other alliances so: PhoenixChan, Intense, Marvin, Quitus, Love, JZ, Mastah and Lukey were all pretty reliable. Everyone in Toxo was pretty good in this respect, but I recall these guys pranking/texting/highlighting a lot and generally being highly active and awesome in defence.
Honourable Mention Players
1) Dematto: master thief and rank 1 eff.
2) Lukey: did a good job of leading - boosting morale, organising attacks etc.
Best Moments of the Round
1) Getting to PBs first, then rank 1 eff/kills shortly after killing off Sendance. Stole about 2k acres from them in 1 night (this was early in the round when that was quite a lot of land).
2) Defending resistance attacks and winning. If only they had given up!
3) Might seem strange but I actually quite enjoyed defending against the PB rushes. DarkSider and Hobbezak tried to rush us together a few times. One time the recalling/re-sending part lasted for about 2 hours before the actual battle. On top of that I had Hobbe playing mind games with me on IRC - good times
Worst Moment of Round
1) Going into sleep mode after being owned by YS. The annoying thing is, there were 3 attacks that we fought head on: we won the first 2 and lost the last one, but because they were so much bigger (troop-wise), that was enough to kill us. We shouldn't have tried to fight the last one off (something ridiculous like 50m CWs and 50m shields + about 9 other YS players), but mistakes happen.
2) Being comparitively inactive for the 2nd half of the round. I had just started uni again after we got knocked down to rank 3 and couldn't put in as much time as I used to. I felt like I was letting down the fresh new faces who joined us expecting big things.
Worst Players
Everyone, except Cityguy. There is so much more we all could have done but didn't becase we were lazy (even those who couldn't spend that much time online)!
