That was a joke, implying that you were going to nerf game time posts again next year : P

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

After making my reply, I realized that might have been what you meant. But not, my idea doesn't involve changing point values.

Well? You're not going to make us wait a whole year to find out what it is, right? Because by then we'll have forgotten about it anyway.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Well... I may drop a couple of hints towards the end of this year's KotF, but I think I'll save the details for next year.

Laaame. See, if you tell us now, we'll be all excited and like, "I can't wait for next year's KOTF because it's gonna have that new thing!" but if you don't, we'll just forget that there's even going to be a new thing because we don't know what the new thing is.

Though if I tell all the details now you guys will have a whole year to get used to it and it won't be a big deal when it comes. But if I start giving out the details in the weeks leading up to next year's KotF you'll remember that I teased something and it will build up anticipation leading up to KotF. That's the theory anyway. But we'll see. I may say before before this year's KotF is over.

Some final bonus point awards...

Faustgy: 20 points for helping to count posts.
Kaida: 5 points for being the first person to catch an error in a PV strip
Silver: 15 points for posting on more days than anyone else in Saying Hi.
Myself: 1000 for counting most of the posts.

Also, I decided that it's about time I was eligable to win this thing. I mean, it's only fair, right? I still need to add everything up and make award images so winners will be announced later in the week, but we all know it's gonna be me.

Josiah's still counting posts, obviously.

I finished counting the posts on Sunday and finished adding everything up Monday. All I need to do now is complete the award images. I meant to do that both Tuesday and yesterday but both times other things came up that had to take priority and I just didn't have time to get it done. And I was gone all day Wednesday so that was a no go as well. I'm determined to get them done and post the winners sometime today though, since Passover is tonight and I have a whole lot of prep work to do, it may not be until rather late at night.

It was a rather slow KotF this year. Saber started out strong but then got busy and didn't post much after the first few days, putting her crown in serious danger. Marley made his yearly return and actually managed to stick around for the entire contest for the first time in years. Though he was never able to get any serious post wars going, he maintained a strong presence throughout the contest. Poison, Silver, and eventually Zfrank posted a decent ammount over the course of the contest and Silver managed to score an impressive ammount of bonus points in the weekly challenges. When all was said and done, the winners were...

Unfortunately, Marley just couldn't manage to keep his second place streak going and overdid it, ending up in first. Silver and Poison followed him and, while they both had a similar number of posts, Silver's performance in the bonus challenges helped him take a rather large lead. The complete standings for this year's KotF are as follows.

495 - Blastotoise
283 - Silver
228 - Josiah
179.5 – Poisonwing14
123 - Zfrankthemegamaster
81.5 - Blivsey
81.5 - Saber Knight
68.5 – Wolfdragon Rex
65 – Neo Zanther
60 - Faustgy
57.5 - Kaida
42 - Poikspirit
41.5 - Puyon
40 - grassquiluv
37.5 Metalheadz
24 – Blue Fire Cyndaquil
20 - Isis
18 - Ryuuko
17 – Bioniclemandi121
15.5 - Doodleshark
15 - Collychan
10 – auragongal
7.5 – Chubby Gray Cat
5 - Siranae
3.5 - Hepburn
3- deoxrai
2 – Cheezdude
