...without Anarchy Online, of course, as the ravening masses of Wizard 101 outvoted us, but as writer Beau Hindman recounted the voting drama of last week, he had this to say:
So - well done, AO community. We may have come in second place for the CMA series, but our strong showing and passion for the game won out nonetheless. Well done to us all - I'll link the Rise and Shiny articles as soon as they're live.Then, out of nowhere, Anarchy Online swooped in and punched everyone in the eye. It looked like the 10-year-old masterpiece of sandboxy goodness would win for the oldies in the bunch! (The AO community's passion for the game inspired me to cover it in my other column, Rise and Shiny, for the week of January 16th.)

EDIT: Also, this made me lol:
There are some rules, however. First, you must behave in the comments section. No name-calling, hair-pulling, or spamming comments. If we don't play nice, I will turn this article around right now and we can talk about Anarchy Online instead
