How do you pronounce it anyway? In my head it's Sloo-nay.

This is fantastic. The Sockys team is absolutely rocking this awesome two-tiered voice/text reveal.

I'm honored to see Seinfeld Mafia won Best Heist. That game definitely went down as a treasured hosting experience for me, so it's very cool to know you all enjoyed it as well. Thanks, folks. :D

So happy to see Phenon Mafia get the award for best town team victory as well. Even though I replaced in pretty late, it was an epic endgame to be a part of, especially due to the enormous effort put forth by so many townies before me. Truly an incredible game.

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.

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.
