Best players of 2008

Title says all, time for nominations guys. I wonder whether maraudian will approve this idea but if he can supply some artis(but not too much, maybe just a few BTCs on TB or a few gordos on RT) for this idea. So here is my idea - everybody submit his nominees here, 3 of them + reason why he submits them(reasons like because he is great mate will be ignored). 1st place gets 3 points, 2nd place gets 2 points, 3rd place gets 1 point. We sum all points and see who is the winner. Each empire can vote only on the server it plays.
