Don't we all.

Unfortunately all winners this year are forever ineligible in future years. So move over.

Don't rule it out with him. Haven't you heard the story behind his name?

SIGNING OUT

and ohhh my god the rico parody Gmany Gtano is the best impersonation yet. Extra socky for that.

Thanks Socky Team and congrats everyone!!!

Thanks. It’s pretty obvious that I had way too much fun with this.

Also, I’m pleased to report that neither of my daughters threw up during this year’s ceremony.

My first mafia game on LP was Harry Potter. I was Arthur Weasly.

Hell yes, our first game ever, Ikkl Genius' "Mafia - I'ts fun, trust!"

My two favorite claims to fame to point out are (1) that I was the first person to sign up for that first game, and (2) that this site wouldn't have ever existed without me because I got MP to start playing mafia on LP.

My favorite claim to fame is having a gambit named after me on the SpoilerTV forums mafia section. That was a decade ago, I think.

Nah. I won’t be eligible for a few more years.

I'm crying over here.

That makes me smile.

I almost went with Bill & Ted for their tendency to say ‘most’ before adjectives. Most valuable!

No doubt. Not even just for CC-123, even though I think that's G-man's only game from this year. But the G's games are always tremendous.

Blue vs Red ran in January of last year. It was a fairly adequate affair.

Dawww, shucks. Thank you for the votes. I feel like this win is like some of the Oscar awards where categories are won not for the best work among the nominees but because of doing the most of the category in question. Hosting for three months was no picnic and I’m sure a few people may disagree with me winning this award. I can understand why. I don’t feel like CC123 was my best work but I thank you for the honor all the same.

That's the canonical pronunciation.

I started pronouncing it that way because when I did a Google image search for ‘sloonei’ it brought up a picture of George Clooney, thus beginning my man-crush on Sloonei.

I have always said Sloo-nee

I’m glad that recency bias didn’t play a factor in the race for Best Job. As fun and ginormous as CC123 was, I’m glad another game won.

Epi did a fantastic job with #69 in CC123. I’m glad he got some love for that role too.

LOL, sorry about that. My crappy headset mic sits an inch from my mouth, so you hear every lip smack and click.

I’m perplexed about winning Best Theme. What was CC123’s theme? It wasn’t actually based on the book. Was the theme extreme role madness or an extension of my Secret Mafia series? The answer eludes me but I thank you nonetheless.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2018 9:16 pm Wow Epi's ego is so big he has to share an award with himself.

Reminds me of the time Jim Carrey won an MTV movie award when he was nominated twice.

Yay audio-presented awards!

I’ll be checking in and out between the girls’ baths and bedtime.
