2024/01/08	VashtaNeurotic	Snakes and Shrek	Survivor: LCA	Sidney's "Vote Steal": During the course of the game items were handed out in response to a challenge and Sidney received a hidden immunity idol. It was soon common knowledge that Sidney had an item as a result. However, Sidney's Ally Rapunzel spread the rumor that the item was actually a Vote Steal, which Sidney played along with. In the short term this made people less scared of an idol but in the long term it meant at F7 and F6 players assumed Sidney had a vote steal, and could essentially choose who went home by stealing a vote, which meant that Sidney ended up with a disproportionate amount of information due to an item they did not actually possess, and was far more utile than the idol Sidney actually possessed (especially since the idol expired at F8).

2024/01/08	VashtaNeurotic	Ariel	International Mish Mash Month (And too many other things to count)	Ariel is awesome. Whether it be running Telephone Pictionary, being on the mod team of Taskmaster, getting the ball rolling on the revolving walrus, editing the wiki, running an entire month dedicated to various Mish Mash things or just nominating people for Scummies, Ariel is devote to the site and deserves to be recognized. The amount of good Ariel has done for Mish Mash in general, but especially this year, is staggering. My only regret with this nom is I didn't do it earlier.

2024/01/08	VashtaNeurotic	SaveTheDragons	Survivor: Lights Camera Action	Allow me to set the scene. A twist had just occured in Survivor: LCA, like any other day. However, for this twist players had to blindly choose another and if two people did that, they could talk for the end of the game. Those who no one chose however, were given an item allowing them to send a 500 word message to anyone in the game, and they could send one back. Such an item could be use to share information across tribal lines, establish a relationship with someone you've never met or a secret third thing to improve your game. King Ghidorah looked at the item and knew what he must do, truly there was only one proper use for such a valuable piece of paper. He was so certain it was the very first one of these items being used. Yes...yes, he'd write to Rapunzel, a player he adored greatly. She received the following: You open your mailbox to see a letter written to you from King Ghidorah. It read: "We are here to reach out about your car's limited warranty" You may send a reply that can be up to 500 words in length.
