Umm...I am pretty sure him thanking Draco for the award, means he knows, but you did throw me a curveball

OK, so it's time for me to pass the award on to the next writer. First, though, I would like to thank Draco again as well as everyone who offered their congratulations.

As I searched the forums, I came across a very good story written by someone who has (to my knowledge anyway) never received this particular award. I pass along the award to robou for his characters in the very fine work 'I'm sorry, but you're not the only one...'

Congratulations, robou!

***Qorten*** · 25-07-2008 15:39

Congrats robou!

**Enewald** · 25-07-2008 16:13

Gratz robou!

I wish vicky wouldn't kill my eyes.

**canonized** · 25-07-2008 16:17

Congratulations

**Capibara** · 25-07-2008 16:17

Another one! Congratulations!

**comagoosie** · 25-07-2008 16:20

that's it, Robou has won every single award!! And in record time too

Congrats, bud.

**Lord E** · 26-07-2008 14:33

Well done robou. Congratulations

Honestly, i had to look for a fair few moments to believe I had recieved this. Thank you Hardraade for this award, the one which i was least expecting to recieve. Thank you also to everyone who congratulated me. Oh and Enewald, why not try wearing sun shades or something?

Right, i am not going to say anything more about 'oh how much this means to me' because i have said that for the last 3 awards and i feel like a change. So, for those of you that don't read, i am going to give a small description of each of the main characters so you can see if you might want to read a little more into them.

Nikolai Vadrasnyi: He is our hero, the one who gets sent back in time. When i say hero, he is not the most friendly of characters, always willing to shout and scream when pressure mounts, though is an able soldier and has a natural talent. He has, however, met people in his new world whom he does get on with.

Lieutenant Vladislav Koniev: The First man who Nikolai met in the new world and also saved him from a murderous barbarian. Slow minded, dim witted but very friendly and keen, Koniev is the nice guy of the group.

Lieutenant General Alexandre Loktinov: This guy is a real Russian brute. Willing to throw men away, he is clever enough to see something in Nikolai and takes a certain liking to him. Clever, cunning and witty, the General is very much the top dog.

Captain Claus von Hertzdorff: A soldier by blood, this German is one of Nikolai's firmest friends in the new world. An intelligent man, he is the one person who has a chance of helping Nikolai get home.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas Vetnyi, Duke of Smolensk: A man who has been placed in his high rank due to wealth and royal ties. A military incompetant, he is a constant frustration to all the above who attempt to get rid of him whenever possible.

so that is the main band. If you like the look of them, come along a read a bit more.
Thanks everyone!
Rob

You are really stacking them up now, mate. Nicely done, and congratulations!

**asd21593** · 26-07-2008 19:51

Another award!

Congrats!

Excellent job, robou! An award that is truly well deserved!

**Woody Man** · 29-07-2008 15:59

Congratulations robou! Well deserved indeed!

**robou** · 30-07-2008 14:40

Right, as usual i will pass on the award early, slowly seeming to get earlier each award. Anyway, this was a tough choice between three main contenders. One of these has recently won an award so then it was down to two. Therefore, i have decided to to nominate... wait for it:

Snugglie

for his excellent Lotharingia -- A tale of resurrection and the characters that involves. In a conversation I was having with him a few days ago, he said that it was hard to develop characters when you have near on 300 years to cover, and considering that I think he has done a marvelous Job.

Enjoy your week... and a day (because i was early

)

**Enewald** · 30-07-2008 14:57

gratz snuggless!

I also enjoy yours aars!

**Alfred Packer** · 30-07-2008 15:02

congrats Snugglie...I'm still getting caught up on my reading from my haitus, but I know you deserve this award.

**demokratickid** · 30-07-2008 15:28

Congrats Snugglie! An award that found a truly deserving winner!

**Woody Man** · 30-07-2008 15:33

Congratulations Snugglie!

**Capibara** · 30-07-2008 16:04

Congratulations Salvatore! Well deserved!

**Snugglie** · 30-07-2008 16:18

What can I say? Well, the appropriate is to begin with saying thank you. Thank you robou, for giving me the award; thank you, my readers, for making me keep on writing and enjoying it; thank you AARland, for alone constituting a huge part of my spare-time. Thank you all, and I hope that I will be able to prove myself worthy of this title also in the future.

Also, for something not completely different... er, this is sort of embarassing, but I noticed on the first page of this thread today that apparently I've won this once before, on the 23 of January from Mettermrck. Well, no-one really told me, so... I didn't notice.

With that awkwardness out of the way, thank you to all that congratulated me back then, and pardon me for not having been able to name a successor.

Edit: And purely coincidentally, post #1000! Wohoo!
