Congratulations to the winners - its hard to pic someone out depending on how you calculate - but if you feel like a winner you are
These factions/persons were the ones that during my time in strat did something awesome or cool or just important for strat (from my point of view):
Quincies: managing to take/hold and keep that area without ever going to war and staying totally neutral - never thought that would have worked. The ability to hold secret deals and staying true and exact to any deals they made - proffessionals guys in my eyes.
Heskeytime: allways an opinion in every matter in the forum, allways hilariously funny when posting, and managing to do what he did together with Vermillion with his bare two hands was not bad at all - ending up in a city.
Wessex: Osiris, your wessex faction of one man was fun to follow - some good battles and some great forum threads - impressive
DRZ: Among all the great stuff you did - I remember you walking across half the map through enemies to siege and take Slezsh Castle from the Wolves (my clan at that time), it took forever to take it back from you - a move that inspired me much and showed me what could be done i terms of going behind enemy lines.
Greys: First time I saw 20+ armies moving at the same time - also very inspiring to me personally
And there is ofc lots more....please share your memories if you have any
