Voting's still open?

I thought it was going to end on the fifth.

Whatever. I have a question for the thread.

What can we do to get more people to vote?

Heh, without getting political... I think that is the million dollar question the whole world over.  Good luck with that.

About all you can really do is tell you're players to vote for you and beg the rest of us to change our minds. ;)

I extended it due to a slow start-up.  It ends the 12th.

Advertise in your games' threads.  All the nominees got a PM that they were up for the awards.

I'm not really looking for votes for me, here. I'm already winning every category that I think I deserve a win in.

Mostly I want the location tie broken, preferably in Liverpool's favour. And I'd like to see some more game/gm votes on general principles. Preferably from unbiased observers.

I guess I'll just advertise more.

I'll vote for ZMiles for Player of the Year, and Elena/Belial666 for Best Quote.

I think I'll abstain from voting for the others.

sorry I've been snowed under at work and only just got away from things.
Is it cheating to vote for my own city? - if not then I vote for Hangover city.

As to the rest I dont really feel qualified to vote on most bur I have to vote for Sanctaphrax for
Best Sounding Board and Best DFRPG Board Contributor:
As I with out his support and pokes then I wouldn't got half as far on Hangover city as I have.
I would HATE to be a character in one of the stories I write -
and then there are the days when it looks too much like I AM!

Since around Christmas my life has been, well, chaotic.  A relative had a health issue that is more or resolved now.

While I'm grateful to be nominated, I haven't had the time to look through all the nominations.  Not even just the ones in the categories that I'm nominated in.  Since I haven't seen all the nominee's I don't think it's fair to vote - not even for myself as there might be someone better out there.

So I'm voting not to vote while congratulating everyone who was nominated.

Awesome. I like getting prizes.

Not sure my game deserved the tied categories, but hey. The people have spoken.

Congratulations to everyone who won and thanks to everyone who voted.

PS: I'm actually quite surprised by the unanimous verdict in the contributor category. I guess I'm more popular than I thought.
