American = Southern now? Stop being a xenophobic moron. Not every American has shite taste, and not every American is a Southern. And not every Southern is a bastard. Jesus, you're full of pathetic stereotypical bullshit, aren't you.

Niws Winter tale got 11th???!!!!
Wow. Guess its good to know that roughly 9/10ths of the top 2000 users have poor taste.
Or perhaps you're just upset that 9/10ths of the top 2000 users don't share YOUR specific tastes, eh?
Any system controlled by humans is going to be imperfect. I viewed Nim's Winter Tale and I enjoyed it, but I didn't give it one of my five votes. And BTW, while 9/10ths of the voters no doubt didn't put it at #1 on their lists, there is no way that 90% of the voters LEFT IF OFF THEIR LISTS ENTIRELY. I can guarantee you that I was in the minority in doing so.
I have lost faith in the system. Oh well, if you cant beat em, join em. More redundant games and madness ripoffs please!
Stop being a lame-o. And stop having faith in fallible systems.

I guess I was just so dazzled by the beauty and artistry of the N.W. that I let it blind me to the truth. You need more action or humor if you want to win an award here on Newgrounds. A silent piece (or mostly silent) that is all about the stunning visuals has no place getting an award, apparently. With the exception of The Fox and the Mirror (I'm not sure how that piece placed better) all the flashes that placed higher then Nim's had this to one degree or another.
I'm really disappointed, I don't think anyone can argue that it and Gooberstory were the most visually stunning animations released that month. It blows everything else away. Even VH cannot compare. Although obviously many of you voters liked other movies better, how can you not justify reserving at least one spot on your list for at least Nim's Wintertale? Just for the sheer quality that went into it.
Did you, Back_Door_Baron (and JetNinjin and ScrunchMuppet), ever think that JUST MAYBE... just maybe other voters for these monthly contests aren't voting strictly for the "most visually stunning animations"? The ones that [graphically] "blow everything else away"?? Did it ever occur to you that things like humour, action, drama, violence, romance, plot, dialogue, interactivity, and MANY OTHER FACETS of a flash appeal to different people differently?
My top 5 consisted of:
#1) a very fun and replayable game (with great graphics, IMO, so perhaps you'd agree with this pick, if not the other four)
#2) a hilarious Marc M flash with a song about a dragon's penis (which to you must be shit, since it isn't "visually stunning")
#3) a hilarious flash about a burglar with Tourette's Syndrome (not very good graphics either, but they were better than the dragon penis flash's)
#4) a sweet and funny visual story/music video about a girl who meets a robot and goes to school with it
#5) a kick ass shooter game with not the best graphics but FUN GAMEPLAY
So yeah. Sing it loud and sing it proud. WE VOTE FOR WHAT WE ENJOY THE MOST, NOT FOR WHAT YOU THINK IS THE BEST FLASH. All the idiots lecturing people for not voting for what THEY PERSONALLY LIKED need to get over themselves.
Oh, and if anyone is curious to know what movies my top 5 descriptions referred to, I'll repost my votes pic... anyone got a problem with my picks? Huh? Well? BRING IT ON, fools. #;-}>
