It will be a good oportunity to all of them!

The vote phase has begun!
I'm wondering, is this current voting phase for the top 100, or only to make it to the top 100 phase? I'm a little confused.
Nominations. The top 100 will be...the top 100. Phase 2 is a competition between the top 100 for the various awards.
I swear to christ if Dayz wins I'm leaving the planet and I won't be the only one.
Player's Choice will be Black Mesa and Editor's Choice will be Cry of Fear.
Good luck to every other mod out there, it's been an awesome year!
I really like the mascot for the contest. The colours are well-choosen. The designer did a great job with it!
