    Koster has too many random posts that I really don’t feel like reading to win. I tend to only read MMO-related entries on any blog, not stuff about music or poetry. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy his blog, but he posts almost as fast as Massively and it’s hard to keep up.

    Schubert was your main competition. You won for two reasons: 1) You changed your theme like 11 times this year, and I like that. 2) Your posts made me laugh. He did nearly edge you out due to his ratio of good design posts vs. other crap, but I determined you had about as many good design posts as him, just a lot more junk in addition.

    Really, there was no scientific process. I visit your site every day, I visit his about every 3 days to a week to see what good stuff he has. Congrats on Gnomey #2.

    I’ve concluded that Raph blogs because he has to. He’s like the description of Mass Effect given in the latest Zero Punctuation review, spewing words. Granted, he’s also got a varied list of interests that he’s compelled to write about all the time.

    But I will not question anyone able to liveblog anything. I just can’t think and type that fast. I’m an editor and I don’t know shorthand.

    I demand a recount.

    =j recounts:

    Lum: 1

    Lum wins!

    Great, now you’re just encouraging him.

    I am not sure I am even “an MMO blog” anymore.

    Winning an award from Nerfbat is like being voted Most Likely to Marry Your Cousin in high school.

    Winning an award from Nerfbat is like being voted Most Likely to Marry Your Cousin in high school.

    I know, right!

    But once you’re in the running, then not winning is like, “Oh, she’d never marry him!”

    Raph, you’re still an MMO blog.

    My Cousin is hot. I’d marry one, like my Mormon ancestors did. One cousin wife is never enough.

  14. #14 by Raph on December 23rd, 2007

    Heh… my oldest post was actually English lit papers. Maybe it wasn’t ever an MMO blog.

    Whatever. Ryan skips poetry, he has no taste anyway. ;)

    You cannot argue with the Google.

    Or… Well, I guess you could argue with it.

    That might even be an excellent topic for an essay.

    You could post it over on your MMO blog.

    You don’t argue with Google… google argues YOU!

    Well, as long as we are not arguing with Google:
