December WOTM competition - final week
What a month, what a year. Chip has proven beyond all doubt that he has the chops for this site. Unfortunately, for Chip, the rules say you can't win the virtual mug two months on the run. However this has provided the opportunity for Sydalg to rise to the top. It was never a foregone conclusion - Wren has been nipping at Sy's heels all month, but Sy has shown himself to be a complete generalist as the league table shows.
Wren, as usual, has performed well and gets my consistency badge. I know from communications with Wren over the last few years plus his online comments that he is one of the most supportive members of the NB contributors, and will almost certainly be the first to congratulate Sy and Chip.
Dom and DavidH have once again proven the power of the ticker, racking up 42 tickers this month between them. As usual you can see the list of tickers in the WOTM entry in the Chat Room. I don't post them on the blog as I'm desperately trying to not cannibalise NB traffic - links to the Front Page, News in Brief and Left Alerts are provided below as usual, and they drive you back to the NB site. Posting tickers here would serve no purpose. If you've missed the odd post and want to read it just use the links provided (or use the excellent archive links from the main site)
It's also great to see relative newcomers doing so well - Chip, DavidH and Newscat are all new this year. It's also great to see well established contributors riding up the table - and let's face it Titus for one has to qualify as an oldie! I'm not going to pull everyone's name out - you can scan the table and appreciate the range and diversity of writers. Everyone on here has earned their right to have their names up in lights, whether they've scored 47 points like Chip or 1 point as many have scored.
I think this is an excellent end to 2017 and I'm looking forward to starting the first league table for 2018 tomorrow morning. Please all have a safe and happy New Year.
