I know it shows some of the votes, I clicked for them not to be shown... but they're there anyways.

I guess it'll make things a little more interesting to have some of them shown.
Thanks Higurashi for fixing it.

As for Best PvP Player, here's what I've done this year:

6 Weekly Tournament Wins
1st - Raise the Stakes
1st - 12 Lives
1st - Team PvP #3 (undefeated record)
2nd - Booster Draft (Team: 1st)
2nd - Prisoner's Dilemma (Team: 1st)
2nd - Grid
2nd - Sideboard
Finals - Elements Chess
1st - War #3 (Record: 8-3)
2nd - War #4 (Record: 10-1) <-- with
Top 4 - There Can Only Be One
Light Trials (undefeated record)
Team PvP #4 (undefeated record)

I feel I've proven myself in unupped and upped formats and with all kinds of restrictions. So, please consider me for PvP Player of the Year.  8)

Woah! That is one huge poll! Wish that we could hide (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22602.0.html) it. I think I will hate to revisit this thread due to the massive vertical scrolling.
Also, first post needs pretty pictures and awesome text!

Ya unfortunately with SG disappearing our 2 options were to make multiple threads or one gigantic poll thread.

[ddevans96]

Wow...nominated for PvP Player of the Year...I'm both shocked and honored.

I'll get voting for most categories out of the way first, and then compile a resume. It'll be hard to follow up majofa's post, but I'll find a way

[Onizuka]

Don't vote for me.
There are much better options.

[Djhopper :)]

It's funny to see that two of my decks have been nominated. I am honoured.

[Naesala]

Aww I didn't make favorite new member. Oh well

[plastiqe]

Kudos on getting the polls started.  Nice work, even without SG's magic the polls look great.

I only voted for myself like three times; Draft, GotP (cause not only is it the best card but it was based on my Minotaur) and the Air Propaganda.  I don't even really want to win the Funniest Topic category, I just wanna come out ahead of that lame ass Death comic.

The most prestigious category in my mind is PvP Player of the Year.  At first I thought TStar was a lock for 2011, I guess I figured majofa'd been around so long that most of those icons were from other years.  He does make a strong case for himself especially with the War success but I find it remiss that he left out the dissapointing finish for Ψ TEAM PSI.  What's wrong, too busy winning all the other events majofa?  : P

[majofa]

QuantumT drafted all the cards I didn't want in that one lol :/

[tyranim]

i noticed that you were missing a few choices in some of the polls *cough cough* me *cough*

You know you could have nominated yourself back at nomination time?
