A'ight, let's do this: I'll do my user noms first because I need to read and re-read some battles before diving in.


 * New User of the Year- We've gotten numerous new users this year, and as much as I like quite a few of these new faces, there's only one user who deserves this award- Arrow7000. Arrow's done a great deal to help the wiki, helping advance the page revamping committe quite a bit, recreating chat, spearheading the main page redesign, bringing back the Ad Hub, and while it may sound like I'm biased because Arrow is my bro in the real world place thing, I have to have some merit to this nomination: after all, he WAS promoted to Admin already.


 * Author of the Year- MrPacheco101. No, I don't need to justify this- dude writes novellas for battles for Christ's sake. Just about everyone else on this ballot is done just as a requisite to fill the number of nominations, and we all know it. Pachey deserves to bring this one home again.


 * Most Creative- GSFB. G's battles are by far the most unique and interesting on the entire wiki, bar none. He uses all kinds of obscure, interesting creatures and monsters from a wide variety of sources and really pushes the definition of what is considered a warrior and where the boundaries between DF and it's dumb spin-off sites blur. His dedication to interesting and unique battles is highly commendable. And the dude loves him some Short-Faced Bears.


 * Editor of the Year- HaydenStudios. Hayden does a great deal for the pages of this wiki- he always has. When we started the Page Revamping jazz, he was one of the most eager to dive right into the thick of it and really change this wiki for the better. Granted sometimes he can be a bit too aggressively OCD about things (I think if I see the word "Quotception" again, Imma punch someone), but really isn't that a positive thing in this? His rollback status is well-earned, as he stands constant vigil over the wiki's pages, fixing everything he can, and leaving notices on things that he himself can't fix so others can know to do so. I highly doubt the wiki would look as good as it does without Hayden's help. He also may be Edit-Man. If I were trying to find out Edit-Man's secret Identity, that's where I'd check first- all I'm sayin'.
 * Voter of the Year- El "dude seriously doesn't like it when you don't spell his name right" Alamein. At some point during this year, EA really kicked the voting gears into hyperdrive, constantly looking for new battles to give extremely detailed edges and arguements on. Even when he doesn't know who the warriors in the battle are, he always does his best to give a strong and detailed vote backed by research if you ask him, and he always tries to not only make his own vote as factual and definitive as possible, but when he takes interest in a battle, he really hawks in on other votes as well, doing his damnest to improve them by whittling away their misconceptions and assumptions until only the fact remains.
 * Best Format of the Year- I abstain from this category for now. I want to review some blogs and such- I never gave this too much thought.
