The Syndicate

I finally have an opportunity to provide these proper banners from local graphic design genius @Long Con. These existed a while back, but we had some miscommunications and delayed their presentation. If you already have the stop-gap temporary banners I made, you should replace them with Long Con's -- clearly they are better, and they are true to tradition. Mine were never meant to be permanent! If you want you can use both too.

An important element of Golden's LAA candidacy:

At the "end" of The Syndicate's original era in which [usually] only living players could win games, Golden led the site in win percentage.

I added splints and sabie to the list I originally posted, because both were gross oversights. So many great people!

Absolutely.

I want to promote a pile of names for the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is as difficult to vote as ever before. We get three votes each, and I believe the following 11 players deserve consideration. There may well be even more than that; I wanted to keep this at least somewhat reasonable in length. But clearly The Syndicate has been blessed with great people and great players for a long time. Remember that to be eligible, players must have registered on the site by the end of 2018.

Here are the folks I considered most before voting, in alphabetical order:

@DrWilgy
@fingersplints
@Golden
@Jackofhearts2005
@Kylemii
@Quin
@sabie12
@Scotty
@sig
@speedchuck
@sprityo
