User blog:Tuxedo!/VOTING: Criminal Case Wiki Awards 2017

Welcome, welcome, one and all. The last Criminal Case Wiki Awards blog was posted when Charlie was alive. Now, he's not. Time sure flies, huh?

Speaking of time, we're here to commemorate the year of 2017 in Criminal Case and in the wiki! Well, to be more pedantic, 2 cases in 2016, 51 cases in 2017, and 2 cases in 2018. Nevertheless, a lot of things happened this year. People turned good. People turned bad. Cases were good. Cases were bad. Lawson did nothing wrong.

Anywho, it's time to vote for the best (and the worst) of Cases 6-60 of Mysteries of the Past! We took your (and the staff's) nominations into account and now, it's your votes that will determine who will receive the honors. So please vote for everything.

Some notes:
