Every vote is a duplicate of the previous year's; the only categories that vary each year are "Fail of the Year," "Event of the Year," and "Antihero," the rest is just rinse, repeat, and rinse among the same people. Same voters, same outcomes. Its worth is dwindling.
I believe that this year the winner names will change a bit, as not all users are eligible for voting anymore. This should reduce, in part, copy-pasted votes, which was an activity done many times in the past by various Newbies or other new users, which did not know the backgrounds of the ones they voted for. Having users with a better knowledge about the forum should, at least, make votes more accurate than before. lovesmayfamilis also
explained the situation very well in her post.
Of course, weird votes will be present this year too (as it was already highlighted
here or
here). But I believe these cases will be reduced compared with previous events.
I can already say that next year the Miss Bitcointalk category will be abolished (there will be another category).
Oh nooooo! You are peevish at our Supreme Leader for winning this trophy every time? Ever thought about how you will manage her anger? Oh gawd... Please say this prayer 5 times a day and maybe -- only
maybe -- you'll have a slight chance the not have part of her wrath:
The Queen of Foxes guides us. The Queen of Foxes teaches us. The Queen of Foxes protects us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives (+wives) are yours.
