The thread was added a couple of days before the month was even over, with still a show to go.

Drezdin, because why not? He opts in every show and RPs for every match. His work is even getting more relevant. If you're going to list him he at least deserves a vote for his hard work, so he got mine.

Sorry for being stupid.

Thank you for providing a reason.

As for the thread being added a few days before the show, no one said you must vote as soon as you see the thread. People can wait that's no problem at all, the thread only gets closed a few days before the next SOTM is posted anyway.

As Lux said there is an 'Other' option, so you may vote for who you believe deserves it AND if you give a valid reason others may see that and say 'yes, that person does deserve that.'

However, I believe the reason you're saying that is because you're not an option in this SOTM. I apologize if you take offense to this. The GMs discuss amongst themselves who we think should be added to the poll throughout the month, the reason why we don't add our own reasons is that we don't wish to sway the vote in one way or another. The reason we have the poll is that it was noticed a long time ago that if you just have a blank thread people tend not to vote unless someone speaks up first. With the poll people already have names to look at and see if they actually do deserve SOTM or not; and if they disagree with what we added, which they are welcome to do they can say a name for themselves.

I hope this clears things up.
