What can I say? It ended up being far tighter than I expected, and at first I doubted if I could even manage it at all, but like any good vixen I was able to push hard enough to achieve my stretch goal. Which definitely refers to this award and nothing else. 🦊
What kind of effort?

I understand that winning other categories requires specific actions, and doing them for an entire year, but to win Miss Bitcointalk, what did you have to do? Just be born the right gender?

All the effort was put in by the voters who voted for you and the other candidates. And all you can do is rest on your laurels.

Forgive me if my tone seems toxic. I didn't mean for my words to offend you personally, and my complaint is more directed at the category itself, which, in my opinion, while an integral part of this competition for many years and certainly fun, doesn't require any talent or ability to achieve. The winner in this category is the most visible (and visible in the forum's information space) personality.
I'm not in any way diminishing your victory and would like to offer my congratulations, stopping my grumbling.

Major congratulations to all of the other winners, minor congratulations to all of the runners up, and special thanks to all who took part.
2nd place – the 1st loser. I'm disappointed in you, @lovesmayfamilis.

This is an extremely unpleasant defeat by just one vote.
