Thursday will be the last day of voting in the final round of the Awards, so if you haven’t yet done so, go and vote. (You can also update your previous votes.) Several categories are very close, so your vote matters.

We hope you can join us for the ceremony, which will take place on ifMUD this coming Sunday at 1:30 PM Pacific time.
