Considering how much of a shambles we electors have managed to make of this, I say let’s take any and all possible valid votes as a blessing from heaven and leave the exact quantities for the devil to quibble about.
Point. Just had to raise the issue as it benefited me, and I want this to be fair. :)

Congratulations everyone!

We made it a challenge, but we got there in the end. Bravo to @Nikolai as always for a sterling job hosting.

First and foremost, can we give @Nikolai a HUGE THANK YOU for his hard work... and collectively swear a solemn oath to be at least 1% less silly next time around?



Also, I'd like to give my own thanks to everyone for giving me my first-ever 1st Place finish in the quarterly awards. I am quite humbled and honored.

Yeah, sorry it took almost a week. :) But we have come to the fabled Soria Moria! :D
No complaints on the pacing at all! It’s our capabilities as voters I’m amused by. :D

Many thanks for those that put a vote my way. It is an honor to share any field with so many great writAARs. Thank you mostly to the voters who took the time to vote, even if they had some...difficulty. ;)

And special thank you to @Nikolai for ushering through yet another successful and rewarding ACAs!

My warmest congratulations to the other winners and a big thank you to everyone who voted in the ACAs (whether for my work or anyone else's)!

A big shout-out to my good friend, @Nikolai, who is quite a trooper for performing this labor of love for our little band of writers each quarter. We appreciate you, sir!

Certainly not doing it for the pay! :D Thanks my friend, it is important to me, this little place on the interwebs.

My sincere thanks to @Nikolai for somehow making sense of the utter mess that were our votes, an impressive feat in itself, particularly on top of their usual impressive organisational efforts at making this all happen.

Congratulations to all the winners, my commiserations with @Macavity116 for his doomed to be disappointed hopes (this place being 1% less silly. Really?) and a well done to most of the voters, obviously excluding those who voted the wrong way in the Other category.

Heh, yeah I will definitely combine Vicky 2 and 3 into one category next time. ;)

It was, indeed, a mess! :D Silly voters, need to institute autocracy I think. ;)

As has been established by Midnite Duke you chose your forum name in homage to my greatest work, so I suppose it fitting that you also ape my voting patterns. It is unfortunate that in this case it has led you to minor error, for which I naturally take full responsibility.

Ah. Yes. That is true, if we ignore outside forum evidence from before 2016. Which we will when strategically convenient. Otherwise...not quite.

Certainly. You also play fast and loose with democracy in your threads which leads to confusion! This is why my AARs are enlightened dictatorships.

Honestly. Asking readers what they want to see...barbaric.

Also...

to my greatest work

Inevitable defeat?

Depends which award you attach more weight to. Some would say it is Furious Vengeance because it won an Iron HeAARt, an ancient award from the almost forgotten times when we had to use polls because there were so many votes (74 voters. 74!).
