I'm glad to see that so far this seems to be about personal recognition and not a vote ( which has always been kind of odd in the past. Pleasantly dysfunctional, let's say. )
Hoo boy, I could spend a long time here, but will only name a few. If you are not named, it's because my skull is numb, or possibly because I have not rp'd with you as much.
( I'm limiting myself to 9 otherwise, I'd end up mentioning everyone I ever ran into -which would be kind of silly )
Prreta - for most surprising character. *laughs* (I'll say no more)
Candy - Most available. ( An no, that's not an innuendo
) (That clarification did no justice either)
Thidin - For having the most surprising ulterior motif.
Roled - For his unmatched willingness to take newbs under his wing ( ehem... usually my alts, but.. )
Ascomanni - Best character concept and back story. ( Gotta love the mental mansion thing )
Mariana - Best plotter and story writer. Many play, but few lead like this.
Sarras / Voilki - Best troll
and because if someone doesn't mention her, she'll whine about about how everyone is just voting for their friends and such... :p Kaerli - For being willing/able to shrug off snark and dismissiveness and just play the game.
Siteya and her twisted sibling - ( more for her twisted sibling :p ). While I don't really play with the DOX crowd, I hear she's stirring things up over there. This is good.
On the Dev side of the pond:
Venalan - For his unparalleled communication and work with the player community.
Eonwind and those devs who hide behind the curtain and pull the levers - Thanks for all the updates and changes.
Special mention should be made for the gm events that are picking up once again. I have not seen/participated in them, but it sounds good.
