One more:
This month's Excellence in Flairdom Award is a joint celebration of two, well, excellent flairs: /u/Valkine and /u/FlavivsAetivs! (No there is no "medieval cabal" I don't know what you're talking about)
Valkine and FlavivsAetivs each responded to what we call a "flair alert," a note from the mod team that there's a thread in their area of interest they might want to answer, with all the fury and knowledge of the rogue intelligent supercomputer in a cyberpunk movie.
Valkine used a question about how medieval soldiers talked to critique historical movies and write an amazing essay on medieval archery tactics. FlavivsAetivs, meanwhile, achieved AskHistorians nirvana, with a Douglas Adams-classic 3 part answer that actually has...5 parts.
Congratulations to both of you!
Congratulations to the winners and a massive thanks to the mods and contributors for one of the best places on the internet.
Congratulations to all these winners! I love seeing the breadth of specialties and the richness of answers people on this subreddit can come up with.
Thank you to all who voted, and to the community at large! I'm surprised the thing received as much recognition as it did, given that the thread itself didn't get much traction outside of it, but I'm glad that those who read it found it worthwhile.
Wow! I'm flattered, thank you for the votes and award and congratulations to the other winners and nominees. And also thank you to the mods for their incredible efforts every day.
Nice to be nominated :) and congrats to the winners for some excellent answers.
