I wanted to let everyone know that after 6 months of nominations, written essays, applications, interviews, auditions, playoffs, regionals, sectionals, semi-finals... we can finally announce a grand prize winner for this year's (very unofficial) player of the year award.

I want to give a big thanks to all the runners-up, there are literally hundreds of names and I couldn't possibly list them all here.

The winner of this year's crown is... wait for it...

SkillzERB

When asked for comment, the new "king" of Turf Wars responded:

I thought everyone would like to have a little bit of a short bio on our new anointed fearless leader. When asked about his hobbies, advice and upbringing, this year's Supreme Commander responded with this intriguing life story:

When the news broke that Skillz was one of 12 top players to make it to the final round, here was his humble but inspiring initial reaction to these events... a true "rags to riches" story:

Yes, well, at least he didn't go cry to support to get a player banned just to turn around and cap him while he was temp banned. Thank GOD he didn't do that. I mean can you even imagine what sort of crybaby bitch would do that? THAT person should make player of the year.... good thing that person doesn't exist.

I don't believe those rumors are true. SkillzERB is an upstanding member here. I doubt he would, cap? (sp?) Is that what it's called? Even one turf in this game as it's basically a nuclear option, only a last resort. Skillz also strikes me as the type who does his due diligence. He would definitely research if a player was blocked, temp banned, sleeping, or just away from the iPod before taking any such despicable action. (War crimes)
Second, let it be known that Brizz won an immunity challenge in this contest but didn't make it to the final round, so this may be a simple case of poor sportsmanship and if so, shame on you.

Finally, if anyone wants to attack Skillz's character, they will have to come through me. He reminds me of Tom Hank's character in the movie "Big" or even an Abraham Lincoln type of character. Tell me this well spoken aperitif doesn't remind you of the Emancipation Proclamation or the Gettysburg address:

The lesson I've learned here is don't post on someone's wall if you don't want to either get banned or see it in the GD forum.....I'll stick to Add Eeeky in future
