Congrats everyone!!!

I just wanted to take a sec to say thanks. Having someone remember and think of merrik/his comics as nominations really does mean the world. I was genuinely surprised to even see them crop up at all,  so thank you to whoever did that. <3

It warms my heart to see that the best,  most deserving people have won in all the catagories- so again congratulations to our years worth to top dogs and winners

Hey, awesome, thanks everyone who voted for me. Good to know sleepless summer nights working in the dead heat were appreciated by folks.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhHHHHHHHHHHgsdasasduawdh Thank you so much guys! I feel like a gross, invisible dork like 100% of the time, so you have no idea how much this means to me T-T

SEE PUZZLE! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! THIS IS THE PROOF!!! NOW KEEP BATTLING!!!

Also I love how much Kozi dominated everything this year. I would be sad if it weren't just so straight-up deserved in every way. That battle is 2015's most iconic entry, even with all the other awesome stuff like everything Mortido got up to (sorry Choleric, but at least I'm giving you some credit here)! And it's good to see Rofl get recognized, especially since the Lost VCAST deprived us of that avenue for recognition of your performance in the SRT.

Mortooncian, Shen, TDK, and Crafty: congrats and you also each very much deserve every ounce of credit! I actually didn't read any of Monster Mash, so I'm relying on outside knowledge of some of your skills, but still! So glad to have you all around!

And congrats to everyone else who got nominated! 2015 was a good year, and 2016 is already looking to blow it out of the water, so let's keep the awesome going!
