Happy Easter everybody. I hope you can all take some time out of the festivities to participate in the famous AARland Choice AwAARds.

Since the last round, we have seen the release of Arsenal of Democracy and as such we'll add a few new categories.

In this round, all AARs updated in 2010 are eligible, provided they were started before 1st April. You can choose which category/s each AAR most represents or you can ask the author for guidance. Voting for yourself is not permitted.

Please make sure you include both the AAR and the author in the each vote, preferably with a link to the thread as well.

So those are the rules, voting will close on 1st May with the results to be posted soon after. Voting may be made using a PM or by filling out one of the ballots below. Happy voting, good luck, and please promote these awards in your AARs and signatures.

Good to see another round. One question that appears was not explicitly spelled out in the above rules...historically, AARs started in the month of the specific ACA were not eligible - so only AARs written between January and March would be available to vote upon here and then next quarter it would be Jan to June, etc. Does this remain the same, Swert?

You cannot vote for yourself.

Probably something else Swert should add to the first post. ;)

Correct. Both added. Looks like I'm get rusty :eek:o
