There are a lot of russian players in that game (5.65% owners - the 5th place in the world if to believe steamspy.com). As russian I am glad that cyrillic symbols was implemented and russian translation is completed as well. As I know, @Well is the only one who responsible for that. All russian community should be thankful to him.
I hope he deserve a Squad 5 nomination.
Quoting this again to remind people what a bad development and community interaction policy looks like. Lets go down the list. See if you can find exactly where each point is hit.
-Contradicts community feedback by vaguely insisting a bad change has been "positive"
-Decrees that the change is permanent despite overwhelming community outcry in the negative
-Misrepresent the arguments people are using in order to get an easy position to defend your change from.
-Fail to make any real arguments in favor of your position other than the aforementioned "its positive"
-Claim to understand complaints immediately after failing to properly interpret and respond to a quote in the same post.
-Claim that holes left by the newly missing experiences are being filled by unrelated and half baked mechanics.
-Ignoring community feedback, then retroactively pretending that changes made personally were based on community feedback.

@Katzenfleisch realy deservs a place since he is helping a lot of people with modding (including me) And he has made one of the most awsome mods out there! Fadded also defens looks promising!
I'd like to nominate @TheRing_1 for his achievements in the portuguese NS community, namely for all the clanwars and tournaments he organized and participated.
He pretty much spread the word about the games (since early NS1), and revitalized a stale local FPS community.

Is zavaro worth squad silver yet? He has been putting a lot of work into tedious mapping work. Does this count as a nomination?
From my perspective UWE has been trying to both with what little resources they have given to the game. They don't have an AAA budget, let alone an indie game budget. They have the budget of a game that has been out 6 years. I want to say, don't half ass two things, whole ass one thing. I just don't think they have the resources to do it. Unlike many of the people on the forums, I guess I am just happy they are at least trying even though I may not like what they end up doing.
@Zavaro deserves silver for everything he does(HE knows
I'd also like to nominate @meatmachine for blue for all the SCC help Admin help/map testing/PT'ing

Thanks, guys. I'd like to nominate @Sephy, @Vindaloo, @simba, and @loMe, for making the ENSL possible for the last few seasons.
I'd also like to nominate @MajorTico for roping me into his reviving of the ENSL, helping me outside of playtesting with good NS2 map related feedback. I could never have done it without you (nor would I have).

I nominate @SupaFred for silver for continual hosting of the TTO servers including the EUPT server.

Like Katzenfleisch I am nominating myself also for squad five silver, cause i have started to play again. This risky move could save the game from beeing really dead.

I'd like to nominate
@IeptBarakat for being an immense help in the community map grind, @Kasharic for a similar sentiment @Nintendows for some excellent bug fixes (and map balance suggestions), both for community maps as well as the game itself @Mouse for his consistent use of overwhelmingly curved geometry dating back to NS1 (Esp. ns_lucid!) and popular map ns2_fusion, @pSyk0mAn for inspiring me (and other mappers) for continuing creating content for NS2.
I'd also like to nominate @Vetinari for continuing to round people up for SCC testing weekly, and keeping community (and everyone above's, including mine) dreams alive.
