Jan-17-15    gauer: Voting < A David vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2014 0-1> for game of the year (category 14) - slightly narrowing out Caruana vs Aronian, 2014 1-0.

BEST HISTORIAN> <12. BEST (WORST) PUN OF THE YEAR>> That was supposed to happen yesterday, according to The Caissar's Bio. A lot of people voted already. Jan-17-15    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Most Informed> Party time! Thanks to everyone who voted for me :-) <The Caissars> I'm afraid that <rogge> is right; the voting for categories 11 and 12 was supposed to be yesterday, and most voters showed up accordingly. I don't think there's much point in holding another vote on those categories today, or even in continuing the voting from yesterday. It's possible a couple additional voters would show up today, but it's unlikely they'd change the result, and if they did... well, I wouldn't want to tell someone who got the most votes on the actual day of voting that they didn't win.
