Best major army leader

The army community would be defunct without the selfless work of the major army leaders. They lead their army through highs and lows, through wars and battles, and have the greatest influence on the success of their army. The best leaders are often those who keep their head the lowest, bearing the most responsibility while ensuring that each member of their staff team can shine out. From this list, consider the leaders who have put in the most work to make their army a success.

Nominations:

• Ugly (ACP)
• Roxy (ACP)
• Sidie9 (TCP)

 BEST SMALL/MEDIUM ARMY LEADER

Not to be confused with major army leaders, S/M leaders play an equally important part in the community. They keep an eye on the “lower leagues” and are the cornerstone to building any army from the ground up. They understand the struggle of keeping an army afloat better than anyone and are often the hardest-working members of the community. Any thriving major army today has a S/M leader to thank for it.

 Most TACTICAL ARMY

An army’s dominance within the community can manifest in diverse ways, starting with high maxes or frequent conflicts. However, such dominance doesn’t always guarantee victory in every battle. The title of “Best Tactical Army” will be awarded to the army that consistently exhibits outstanding performance on the battlefield and rarely loses, even if facing a stronger opponent.

Nominations:

• Army of Club Penguin
• Elite Guardians
• Help Force
• Rebel Penguin Federation
• Winged Hussars
• Special Weapons and Tactics
• Water Vikings
• Templars
• Secret Service

 Best Higher Command

No army would be complete without its higher command. These staff members are the driving force behind the army, bringing their leaders’ visions to completion. They support their commanders through highs and lows and provide leadership for the lower staff, making their role doubly important. Without these individuals, any army could never survive.

Nominations:

• WilliamW2010 (SWAT)

Nominations:

• Help Force
• People’s Imperial Confederation
• Aliens
• Templars
• Secret Service

 Best conflict

The past few months have seen their fair share of conflict. We all know the true purpose of army conflicts, though: entertainment for the community at large.

Best Top Ten Committee Member

Arguably one of the most important “ninja” jobs on our team.

We call this award the unofficial “Best Counter” award.

Nominations:

• Zenishira
• Spotty
• Edu14463
• Spin
• Ugly

---

Best Community Committee Member
