I voted for the FEB leader. He had five or six wins and I'm still clueless how he'll dupe us the next time.

Re: 2016 Socky Awards
I appreciate that sentiment, but I couldn't have imagined winning that award based on that one performance. It was an incredibly rewarding win for me personally, but I think Quin outshined me in Mad Max alone.Golden wrote:I voted for you in Scrimmage. I couldn't campaign for it after Jay campaigned for you as team win, though. Quin was very deserving, though, very deserving.MovingPictures07 wrote:I can understand how that was the category you were talking about though, Golden. That was a tough one. Definitely some solid baddie performances last year.

Re: 2016 Socky Awards
I didn't play in enough games to vote for anyone beyond a single-game performance. Quin's Mad Max game was the best scum performance I saw this year. Soneji in Turf Wars was also memorable.

Re: 2016 Socky Awards
Kat was hot on the trail in sector B4. Having found very little there, but successfully obliterating what she did, she reported back to Adama.
"Sir, all that was left was a small piece of land, with two factions fighting over it. One side wore socks on their head, the other daisy chains. I blew them all to pieces."
"Thats the Best Job I've seen all day. So say we all." said Adama
Sector B4 has revealed the Sockey for Best Job

Re: 2016 Socky Awards
Wow, that's awesome! I'm honored. Thanks, folks. I couldn't have done it without Daisy though; that game was her brainchild, and it was amazing to work with her on it. Thanks for all the players and prisoners in Turf Wars too for making it a really memorable hosting experience!

"Admiral" said Helo "Things are confusing over at sector C2. People there just WON'T. SHUT. UP. I decided to leave them to their own devices."
"Did you get any intel, Helo?"
"Only something about a pyramid of dogs. No, the greatness of hats. Something like that."

Nice, those quotes were definitely worthy of the win. Especially glad to see Ron Swanson win for his Pyramid of Mafia Greatness. Congrats, you two!
