In the Category of Awesome Citizen of the Month
The Award goes to: Soren Nelson
At first, we had a tough time with this because our Awesome Citizen has a high ranking job and we wondered, was he just doing his Job? However, comments like this one “Soren gave selflessly on the Congressional Elections, coordinating efforts to stop iNCi from taking control of congress. Soren, alongside many others, made sure America didn't fall into their hands. He saved America.” And “He kicked inci butt.” made us realize he went beyond the ordinary call of duty and needed to be recognized for his efforts.
Runners Up: Necros Xiaoban
Congratulations to all you of you awesome eAmericans, you show up how great we can be!
Let’s have a final Round of Applause for all our Winners.

oh this paper
Wow! Thanks for the award and great work on the first ceremony!
Congrats, award winners!
Congrtaz
I got a feeling, this all went to UM....
BSGCK
Will I ever get an award Cerb? Am I not award worthy...?
Elites giving too elites, where will it end, you do know a lot of other people play this game as well, but of course, it is what have you done for an elite lately
Congratulations to the winners!
Do you know someone else who should be recognized for their private endeavors? There will be a new round of winners next month and a form to nominate your fellow citizens in a couple of weeks.
I smell a troll fest.
Must sub to comments!
I am impressed with this idea and support its continuance.
I would like to see congressmen/women not eligible in the future. On principle, Congress awarding a congressperson a Citizen award is... eh, you get the point.
@Gnilraps
If I am not mistaken, none of the winners were sitting congressmen last term. But it does seem Karmic that many of them did something good on a personal level and were recognized by the voters. Also no one won for "doing their job". Those nominations were thrown out.
Above are comments about 'elites giving to elites' and Congresspersons receiving Awards. I completely understand why regular citizens would prefer regular citizens to win. As a matter of fact, that is the intention of the award. As a member of this committee, I can guarantee we aimed to give Awards to everyday eAmericans.
Please keep in mind, the committee can only work with the nominations it receives.
So when you see the nomination requests in the coming month, nominate every regular citizens who is doing awesome stuff you know. These are the citizens this past Committee looked for, and I feel comfortable saying the upcoming one will do the same.
With respect to Congresspersons, Govt & White House Staff, Execs. Militia and Military members, they are not eligible for work they do as part of those jobs, thus our uncertainty about Soren (see above). However, they are eligible for activities they do outside of these jobs. In the case of Soren - his supporters made a case for him going well above the normal duties of his job in WH and the committee agreed.
Again, I want to stress, please nominate everyday eAmericans when you see the shouts next month, subscribe to this paper, as hopefully the next committee will use it to link up to nomination form as well.
Personally, and I authored the original Law, I can tell you in full honesty, this Award is intended to be given to everyday citizens. I, personally, and I am not alone in this, would be thrilled to see every Award given to someone who is considered a 'non-elite'. So, it is up to you, the people to nominate them!

wow ty for the award 😃
nice ceremony guys 😉

rofl, NICE. thanks guys, and thanks to whoever nominated me!
Congrats
Wow, thanks! I'm glad to see my articles are making an impact.
Congrats to the winners
Thanks for the runnerupdom.
RECOUNT! Jasper Signa for president!
YAY SOREN !
I think its funny, you disallow nomination of military people and end up giving awards to militia members... Seems kinda skewed. Maybe open it up to Military members or disallow militia members for the same reason military members are.
I mean I have nothing against those who won, in fact I like a few of them but the results seem kinda predictable and more like a pat on the back. When I saw this in congress I figured it would be more everyday people and less people who already know they matter or know they made it.
Sweet, I was runner up for citizen of the month and didn't even do anything!
@Relorian Just wanted to clarify, Military, just like Militia are completely eligible, but not for their Military or Militia activities.
In this coming month, please nominate all military members you know who are going that extra mile to make eUSA a better place.
Well, I take it back. Not as many trolls as I expected. ~sigh~
Congrats to the winners!
I think Soren is a pretty cool guy. eh kills incis and doesn’t afraid of anything
Nice, congrats!
>Have award with name on it

NX: "Sweet, I was runner up for citizen of the month and didn't even do anything!"
That happens when you nominate yourself 30 times, NX. At any rate, I'd like to thank everyone. If entertainment is the one thing I can offer to this game, then that is awesome as this game tends to lack entertainment quite often. Yay for all the winners and elites!
