Building Awards
One user thought this was a category and gave a vote to MNB. I'd guess this user wanted to vote for MNB in every category, but they voted separately in every other category.

Tournament Awards
Best BOTM winner was apart of Tournament Awards because I don't know what the word, "tournament," means.
Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Love Machine by Thrackerzod: 3 (33.33%)
Bone Dragon by DragonSteinCole: 3 (33.33%)
Paindeer by DragonSteinCole: 1 (11.11%)
The Final Word by Apanx: 1 (11.11%)
The Tanning Bread by Hoppin: 1 (11.11%)
Note: One user voted for “everything DSC has made” this vote was counted to Bone Dragon because they sent sh** when I was half asleep. The vote was sent after 12:00:00EST and so I could just remove the ballot if this is a big deal. :mrgreen:
