Nominating Roy Cruz and Gil Kimmons

I nominate Jordan Alstad. He's placed at Nats (not sure what exactly), is and elder and moderator, has some of the most fun yet very competitive T2 decks that I love to see played, one of the few players who plays heroless and succeeds quite well with it, and most of all, he's a great older brother.

Roy Cruz

I nominate Nathan Voigt. He's won 3 national titles (T2 2p, T2 Multi, and T1 multi) and 3 RNRS titles (same 3).

Seconded. Outstanding player and person.

I can third that. He is also one of the youngest players to win a Regional tournament (NC Regional at age 11--I think Kurt Hake may have been younger with his first but not sure).

Fourtheded. (Fourthed isn't a word so I thought I'd make it more fun. ) Mainly because he's been a good role-model in Redemption and he's one of the best T2 players I know, which I admire since I enjoy T2 somewhat more than T1.

I nominate Clift Crysel/Martin Miller.

Also isn't Tyler Stevens nominated? I nominated him either 2010 or 2011.

Until I'm granted admin access and fix everything round here (hehehe) there's really only one person I can think of as a contributor and that's Sean Templeton (Lord Zardek). Although RC! is not currently functional i don't think anyone would argue that it didn't bring a massive contribution to expanding and simplifying online play while it was around (except maybe Pol since it seemed like he was ALWAYS having problems with it). Coupled with the fact that he is working on getting it back running and I think that's a good enough contribution to Redemption to receive consideration.

On kind a of a dual sided nomination, I would also like to nominate an inactive player. Though he hasn't played Redemption in a few months G. Randall Koutnik won an RNRS National Championship, and placed in..something else at the national level in the 2011 season. I'm blanking on what the other trophy was he brought home. He also took first in 2 regional categories that same year and at least one state category. Aside from his accomplishments in game, he is also primarily responsible for two New York play groups in the Rochester playgroup he founded himself, and the Buffalo playgroup that was founded by a former member of his playgroup. Without Randall, neither of those playgroups would have ever existed. He also volunteered his time to expand Redemption on multiple occasions, including at Dexcon in 2011 when he and I spent 3 days in New Jersey spreading Redemption every opportunity we could. So for these reasons, Koutnik 2012!
