Final standing

Awards
gollark: Further evidence of lyric bad/admin abuse.
gollark: This is an unreasonable promise, stop it.
gollark: And it shouldn't be taken as that, utter lyricoid.
gollark: Well, it's *not* binding.
gollark: This had better not get turned into a binding vote somehow, or it'll fall victim to the LyricLy effect and somehow pass in a ridiculously convoluted way.
