Alright... All comments processed, and with that, the entry lists are final. At least, final as in "we won't be adding anything to it from this stage onwards". We reserve the right to exclude entries if such a move is deemed justified.

But enough of that ********, time to release the voting slips. Kindly copy and paste the stuff below into an e-mail and send it to raptor@home.nl

Same drill as always: you'll need to claim your votes in this thread for them to be counted. No vote wh0ring among non-FMS/CMS mates, they will be discounted as well.

As per the opening post, you don't have to vote in every category. It'd be nice to make an effort though. These are your awards, you make them what they are. This first (nominating) round ends Thursday, 30 December 2004, at midday GMT.

God I write lots of stories. Sorry all

I can't really vote for this round as I haven't read enough of these stories, but will have a look when things get a bit smaller. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

We could ALL say that little Euan, and then there wouldnt be any awards. Thats why we have the links, and why Raptor goes to all that bother, because HD whined a lot. Get off yer arse and vote.

BTW, you were right about mentioning the Vaduz thing before. And it was listed as WEU in your part of the index. Since computers never do things we don't tell'em to, I went through some of my coding, and guess what? Once upon a time, I included an auto-correction macro that changed club's geographical category ID's to that of the league they play in (other examples: Berwick, Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham et all). Since Vaduz was the only club name mentioned, that correction was applied. Rather stupidly, the original code had the two data columns changed round...

That's the price for (previous) nerdness.
