fantasyfan, how close that was! I'd left the nominations open for a few hours longer than planned to see if someone would add more and it's wild that you missed by a minute. I certainly would've liked to try the new voting method here first.
And fyi for everyone - the process for exactly six or less than six nominations was in place before the nominations even started. Exactly six was obvious - if six go to the vote, all six will win regardless so a vote is superfluous. For less than six, again all would win in a vote anyway but we'd still need categories for the remaining months. So the nominees would've automatically been categories and we would've had a vote consisting of other previous categories for the final slots. In any event, we're now good on categories for another year.
