Best Civilian in 2015, Best Indy in 2016, does that mean what I think it's going to mean for 2017...

Looks like my instantaneous assaults on Jay in recent games is going to pay off.

#202

Congrats, Quin!! You have been an absolutely welcome addition to the community for sure. Glad to see recognition to the finalists too! We had some really solid additions last year. So glad to have you all here.

#203

Quin! Tell us about your trip to the Chinese restaurant in your winning speech.

This is my favorite winner yet. Thank you for being such an excellent person to play mafia with, Quin. It's been awesome watching your game blossom on here over the last year.

#213

No commercial Rico?

#214

Starbuck and Hot Dog hit Sector D3 together. They needed it, as they flew straight into a war between evil computer programs and sweaty biker dudes. They were glad they didn't have to clean up that mess.

Congrats to Epi and G-Man!!!

Definitely deserved for both. Transistor and Mad Max were both truly memorable and excellent games.

I'm glad Mad Max won. I've seriously never had such a fun time playing a game before having played that.

The following intermission is brought to you by the Rico Classic No Commercial Podcast

sad!

#220

Mad Max was probably the game of the year IMO (it went into overtime!), so that's no surprise. I'm glad Transistor is also being recognized too. It wasn't as loud and chaotic as some other games, but it was intricate and highly strategic.

#221

Transistor's setup still blows my mind to this day. The Process role mechanic was incredibly intriguing, one of the coolest roles I've ever seen, and the game's setup overall was consistently engaging.

#222

I voted Transistor k

#223

Mad Max is probably the best Syndicate game I've played to date. I wish I'd played in Transistor now, it must have been an excellent game. I still regret having to bail on GY!BE, and I'm also glad to see Rocky & Bullwinkle getting some recognition. That was a fun game.

#224

Hot Dog sounded depressed on the comm. "I just attacked a world that seemed so happy. I radioed them to apologize and they said not to worry about it. What a jewl."

Let me tell you though, that game was so stressful at end game that I just lost all motivation for a whole load of games afterwards, so when it came to Monkey Island I just could not be fucked. Thank Scotty for the win there.

#229

#230

Thanks for doing so much for the positive atmosphere here, juliets!

#231

Oh good. juliets was the one I wanted to campaign for. I thought her presence in the chatzy might be overlooked - guess not.

Congrats!!

#232

I'm so excited - congrats to Glorif and JJJ as well. I'm very thankful to have won this up against those guys -

#233

Were I to vote for anything, it would have been juliets for that.

congrats Juliets! Astonishingly we'd never played together until the calendar hit 2017, but I can already see why you're winning this award.

I submitted a vote for "Everyone" but I don't think it was tallied.

Starbuck mused into her comm about the sight of the newly-destroyed Sector B3.

"Very poetic
Why am I talking like this?
Getting out of here"

Linki x 9001: Nevermind! Congrats to Sorsha!! Awesome game, for sure.

#244

I'm sad I didn't live long into Haiku. I was really looking forward to playing that one.

#245

I am not surprised
Haiku Mafia was neat
Congrats to Sorsha

#247

Yay Sorsha! I read every one of those posts - you guys who played were awesome!

And Epi thank you for the vote lol

#249

I feel honored to see both Futurama and Parks & Recreation in the finalists for Best Heist as well, and I just want to give a shout out to all of the players of those games as well as both games' Socky voters. Those games were an absolute blast to host, especially seeing the top-notch roleplay. Thanks for the recognition there, folks. I'm glad to see the TV sitcom series has generated such excitement.
