May I be teh first to offer congratulations to everyone who was nominated and of course, those who run.

I've never witnessed anything quite like it before, heh. The internet, wow, l33t ain't it?

Never lose the feeling you got when you first played Doom. The one that made your stomach nervously excited? That's why we're here.

[Waldon]

The log is going to be on the COMPET-N site.

[Zaldron]

Heh that's my quote alright. ^_^
