Huhwut? 2? Well, thanks everyone, and huge congrats to the other winners!!
Unfortunately lost my internet access for a bit, and of course had left voting balancing upon the whims of the last minutes. Better luck next time, perhaps. Also would be nice to see some actual opponents in certain categories where folks either contested against themselves or the opposite of the absence of nothing.

Well...Covenant's a Time Lord, but surely we didn't hop to the middle of November yet through some electoral caesure?[Syl Embattled] wrote: And hey, only a month and a half until we get to do it all over again.

Thanks guys! An honour to be included on the illustrious roll of Watchy winners.
I think I prevented Shaun from a clean sweep, she(ep) won three. A special congrats to her. Well deserved!
Thanks to [Syl] and Menolly for the effort they put in It was good fun and it makes (relative) newbies like myself feel more part of the tradition of the Watch.
My biggest fear was that my thoroughly tongue-in-cheek nomination of Vraith for funniest Watcher might actually result in him getting a Watchy for it. Such positive reinforcement of an actual deficiency would have resulted in much mortification
*tears* And now there's just a few other people I'd like to thank. My first pet, Skipper ......

So you say. I know I got one right for sure this time, which is what I knew I got right the last time.Savor Dam wrote:...and even if ali lacks faith in her game submission, the Staff of Immunity questions were less difficult this time than in the last round.
Anyway, sorry to go off-topic. Congrats again to everybody! And thanks, as Av rightly says, to the co-mods (whose jobs ain't done yet, apparently).

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Best duo? Certainly a possibility.

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Thank-you to Syl & Menolly for organizing this grand election.
Thank-you so much for my gongs and to those who made typos when voting, bestowing them on me.
Congratulations to my favourite pumpkin, a VERY worthy NotY winner. Had I not abstained from the categories I was in, I would have ticked the box marked 'squash'.
Now bring on the WotY rematch! I'm looking forward to the blood

Dude, I could never create u. U say things/give me opportunities I couldn't possibly imagine. Even God can't make him/herself the Devil.

Now that the results are final...
Thank you, everyone. It's an honor to be in such illustrious company, past and present. To those who voted for me (I know who you are , which is a slight mark against the system to be avoided in the future), while I question your judgment, I am touched and humbled by your support. And to those who didn't... *shakes Fist*... I kid, I kid. My co-WsOTY(s) are amazing people whose recognition here is overdue.
