Just a point: are these not meant to be sent via PM?

**Goofle** · 12-16-2015, 11:17 AM

That's the final voting after the nominations are narrowed down.

Carpe Mortem · 12-16-2015, 12:13 PM

I'll be voting even though I've been super MIA and my candidates will be drastically skewed from lack of recent interaction.
