uuuuuuuuhhh...Ajit Pai/FCC?

Hmm... Battlefront II/EA.

We can then get both Ashit Pie and Gamblefront II to tie, and end up with "The intent is to provide consumers with a sense of pride and accomplishment by unlocking different websites."

We can then get both Ashit Pie--

*stops reading*
I nominate pie!

I nominate 'that one aunt who drinks way too much at Christmas, and honestly now that you're an adult you're kind of worried for her, but god damn when you were a kid she was the fun aunt'.

Actual proposal:
Ironically, Summer

Actual proposal:
Ironically, Summer

Not ironically, there's an entire half of the Earth where this is actually relevant cough cough Elbbsas cough cough

the 'ironically' was mostly directed at Wintreath being the 'land of eternal winter', although there was an element of it being aimed at 2015's theme, and also the whole 'white christmas' thing

Tempting to nominate Winter, because it might be funny if it won in a tie with Summer.

Though, ignoring the Star Wars Holiday Special, Winter and Star Wars Battlefront could be an interesting combination based on these results: https://www.google.com/search?q=star+wars+christmas

the 'ironically' was mostly directed at Wintreath being the 'land of eternal winter', although there was an element of it being aimed at 2015's theme, and also the whole 'white christmas' thing

Fun fact: "White Christmas" originally was about longing for an actual winter because of being stuck in Southern California. The opening verse is often cut out:

The sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day
in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth,—
And I am longing to be up North—

Seeing as it is almost Christmas time I feel it would be appropriate to nominate: Thinly Veiled Jesus Allegories in Fiction
e.g. The Lion from Narnia, Neo from the Matrix movies, etc.

I'm going to nominate 2003 Avatars...things that would have been popular avatars in the year 2003.

One more day for nominations!

Voting is now open and will last for 3 days! Everyone gets 2 votes.

Ajit Pain is oddly fitting.

Goddamn autocorrect.
