Yeah it was used well

Actually I think The Godfather only came into play because you messed up a jailkeeper but the vig shot worked out great

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 4:26 pm**

IIRC it came into play because you wrote the “guess whether a philosopher is in the game” rule as if it were unlimited, refunded the one shot cause it was ambiguously written, then prompted officially asking if Machiavelli was in the game as compensation for town angleshooting.

oh yeah compensation stuff

What better way to tell your Syndicate friends you love them than to recognize them for their achievements? Place your Socky votes today, and ensure that special player you’re keen on gets their due.

Oh my god someone else is inside my head aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Also vote y'all. Next person to submit real votes receives an embarrassing fact about JaggedJimmyJay.

Most of the categories are either tied, or are separated by just a single vote. YOU can make a difference. Your vote matters. Something something fair and balanced election.

Posted: **Fri Jan 15, 2021 8:45 am**

If there are so much ties maybe its cuz ppl are using both of their votes which have the same power? If u want less ties and more than 1 vote difference maybe ask ppl to use one of their votes as "1st place" and the second as "second place" for the same category? Idk

We're currently at the fewest ballots we've ever received for a Socky Awards! We can still proceed, but it would be great to get some more before that deadline arrives.

ANYONE is eligible and encouraged to vote. Even if you feel like you're too new, you're not! We want your votes! You can vote solely based upon what you have seen in the games you've played/watched. That's what everyone else does anyway.

Nag, nag, nag. Sheesh.

I'll put my votes in tomorrow.

Oh yeah I forgot to note I did vote yesterday's yesterday, but some of the topics I abstained on given how late I came to TS for last year. (Yes, I was around in August, but I didn't really become much more active on the site until October)

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2021 11:39 am**

I voted. My lack if involvement in 2020 probably led me to cast some wacky votes. If my votes do more harm than good for the overall totals, I am sorry.

I did my part and voted!

Newcomer category was stacked and tough, but I'm happy we can vote for three of them. That made it easier.

Sounds like we’ll just have to go full-on Oprah-

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2021 9:29 pm**

But in all seriousness, if any of these ties involve me any way, you can remove me from consideration to make tie-breaking easier. Last year was far from my best (except for owning Corrupt!? with Wilgy).

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:00 pm**

I could still vote. Maybe I'll break your ties.

I encourage that if you have the desire, as long as it's quite soon. No pressure though.

Word. If anyone else wants to get a late ballot in today, we can count it.

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:51 pm**

Sorry, I had the 23rd of Jan in mind as the deadline.

'An Orgasmic Misunderstanding' and 'Random Poison' are the funniest posts, and I'm happy to meet any who don't agree for pistols at dawn.

Orgasmic misunderstanding was a funny typo, random poison was a funny event. Neither is, in itself, a post

And frankly I didn’t find the random poison all that funny

I didn't get a chance to read these because I was too busy re-living the sheer experience that is 'Princess Nutella'.

I didn't play or read that game so I have no context. I found the meme absolutely hilarious though.

We've been consulting with Roger Goodell so as to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Does this mean that the nominees get to play a light game of mafia where we bake each other for the silliest things, run up the score, and everyone wins?
