[Capibara]

Good job, The Swert! Thanks for posting the results. It had been a long month waiting for them.

 

[Enewald]

Thanks Swert!

 

[unmerged(81979)]

Thank you The Swert!

Congrats to all who won and those who put up solid numbers but didn't win! Also, a big congrats to Milities for putting up a heck of a fight! A more noble tie could not be concieved...

 

[Qorten]

Many congrats to all winners and basically all other participants including voters and especially The Swert for getting the results in the absence of the almighty phargle.

 

[Woody Man]

Congratulations to all the winners, and good job to all who received votes and voted!

And thanks to The Swert for compiling the results

 

[Saithis]

Congratulations to everyone who took part and good luck to the up-and-coming Round 3.

 

[aldriq]

Thanks The Swert for compiling the results. And congratulations to all the winners!

 

[Milites]

Congrats to all who won and those who put up solid numbers but didn't win! Also, a big congrats to Milities for putting up a heck of a fight! A more noble tie could not be concieved...

You're most welcome, yet I still think we should conclusively decide who gets to take the prize home at dawn. The weapon of choice is pistols

Pistols? Hmmm.... I'd rather have cavalry broadswords... Being 6'5", I would SOOO get you with arm reach... :rofl:

Well, I think in lieu of imminent struggle I'm more than happy to share the award....

 

[XHR]

Congratulations to all winners!

The Swert: I feel the need to point out something before you go to record the final results in the other thread. “A Glass of Fine Whine” was started after July 1 which means it wasn’t eligible. I’m not pointing this out as an offense to Landwalker but I distinctly remember voting for it and then having to remove my vote due to the rules being written incorrectly. Mainly I'm adding this in case there are other AARs that may have been overlooked and are ineligible.

Thanks for bringing that to attention ! Especially since phargle wasn't able to bring in his report , such backchecks are lost in the process . Good work

As a rule, I tend to leave in the ineligible votes for completeness, but they are generally insignificant. This is only the second time an ineligible AAR has won an award, the previous time being a withdrawn AAR not a timing issue. I suppose the win then relegates down to the next highest vote winner: The Republic of Genoa. A community AAR by Grauuu. A Glass of Fine Whine will of course be eligible for the next awards.

Hopefully all the rules will be stated more clearly next time.

Edit: the above results have been amended. But I haven't checked for other errors.

 

[TheHyphenated1]

Thanks to all the generous voters, and congratulations to everyone! A big thanks to the Swert, too!

 

[TheExecuter]

I think it might be wise to check with Phargle...as PM voting was also allowed.

I'd hold the winners as provisional until he speaks.
