Greetings to all Keepers!

Now that it's the end of 2017, we had many new changes in the sub, with the change of the mods, some tearful retirements of our old MVPs, the new age of FFRK for both GL and JP Players is coming as we welcome 2018 in just a weeks time.

So what can we do to remember of the height of 2017? It's none other than the Annual Competition for Best of /r/FFRecordKeeper 2017 Edition!

For those who are unaware, there are a number of categories that everyone can nominate their favourite users or favourite posts in. There will be 10 categories up for grabs, and the winner of each category will be gifted with Reddit gold. As part of the criteria in /r/Bestof2017/, our sub is eligible for 10 Reddit gold credits.

Here's a link to the previous edition, which was run by /u/juniglee (Who has finally got some cafeteria hotdogs).

Nomination and Voting Procedure:

• Nominate someone else! It'll be nice if we have Nomination by others instead of by self!
• Find / reply to the appropriate parent comment for the category you are nominating for.
• Look through comments to ensure what you are nominating hasn't already been nominated. (crtl f is your friend!)
• If it has not been previously nominated link the reddit thread of what you want to nominate. as a reply to the appropriate parent comment.
• Vote by upvoting! Please vote up the nominations you want to win, as you can vote on as many as you want.
• You do not need to nominate to vote, if you wish to vote simply scroll through and start upvoting.
• For a post to be a valid nomination it must have a proper link and only contain one item!
• This thread will be in contest mode, meaning comment scores are not shown and comments are in a random order.

The Algorithm for sorting top post by month have changed, thus I'm unable to provide a way to sort top post per month as per last year. If anyone knows how and is able to assist, do send me a PM as the comments section would be needed for nomination. Thanks!
