OK. After months of data collection and analysis by myself and
my army of minions a few generous and hard-working fellow mods (who have been compensated for their time and effort), the first pass has been completed.
As of right this moment, there are 2151 players who have earned at least
a) One stamp,
b) One-third of Stamp 9 (poly), AND/OR
c) One-quarter of Stamp 16 (maps released in 2013).
There are 14 players who have already collected all 16 stamps.
And they are:

simmons4Congratulations to all of you on a job very well done!
If you feel your name should be there, don't despair just yet. There are slightly less than 200 eligible games that are marked as having been active when data for their particular stamp was collected.
I have just taken a quick glance through the thread and logged a few extra stamps earned through eligible games which happened to fall outside of my game number ranges.
I will hand out the first batch of prizes tonight or tomorrow.
After that, I will begin periodically rechecking the games currently marked as active so that stamps may be awarded when they finish.
Depending on how many games are still active at that point, I may decide on a deadline for active games to finish in order to still be eligible for stamps.
Many thanks to everyone who participated, and I hope the people I've heard say it was fun are not simply a vocal minority (though I am glad they are vocal)!
