Hi folks,

I've received a request to sticky this thread. I'm open to it, but wanted to give folks a chance to voice any concerns before I did. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not say anything publicly, but assuming I don't get any serious objections soon I'll probably go ahead with it, it seems like a nice thing to have around.

Thanks,
Lazarus

I'm going to reduce the threshold for getting inducted into the Hall of Fame from 8 to 7. (I won't do this again.) 8 was just an arbitrary cutoff so that I could fit everybody onto the first page, but I've thought about it a lot, and I think 7 is a better number for people to aim for. Plus, it lets me induct DS, which I think is only fitting given how much she contributed to this forum.

Edit: Also added Mata Hari's Orcish Trapeze Artist. It was never added to the Past Winners section when it won in 2019. Mata Hari's eternal deadlock with JV is no more! They've been tied 16-16 since the start of this thread, but apparently Mata Hari was missing an entry. This correction brings Mata Hari's score up to 17!
