Congrats to everyone who got a variant accepted this year, and hopefully we can see many more next year!

Also, I might add other stuff here if I think of it.

I would consider 2bhnst to be more prolific than chye3mc, but ok.

It’s solely based on number of variants accepted

oh

Edited that to avoid ambiguity.

Man I really wanted to be on that list. Maybe CGAs will give me a christmas gift in the form of an acception?

Added to the historical section of the directory

What does that mean

No there's another one aswell but I forgot

@BN1208 you have ommitted 4 variants

February 9 - NCV | Pit Racer, WoF | Circle Challenge, WoF | Cloister

February 17 - WoF | Treehouse Battle

See Custom Variants notes, pages 96+

CGAs could also add them to the verdict feed

S i m p l i c i t y

Oh yea

Thank you

If NCVs are 2x better then they are equal.

Any suggestions for more random facts?

Cloister is the first accepted variant submitted on VW
