The 2004 Golden Scribes Award Show

[Kodos]

Hey presenters. I've had some guys asking about being able to put up presentations later. It's no problem at all as far as I'm concerned. It was just a guideline. If real life interferes, go ahead and put the golden scribe presentation aside until you have some free time. I promise I won't get mad!

This whole thing is supposed to be about fun and recognizing people's hard work, so don't stress out at all if you have to do yours a bit late. Nobody's going to mind.

By that token, the visual presentation will be on either Friday or Saturday. Blame school.

[The Afoci]

Sweet, a Bronze Golden Scribe! I wonder what they go for on ebay!

[revrew]

The ZFL would like to thank its fans, financial supporters, players, managers...and lovely award presenters. Once again, thank you.

Enter The Matrix, by Franklinnoble

Wow! Well done, Franklinnoble! Outstanding job!

And congratulations to all our other finalists this year! Your efforts have pushed the edge of the envelope! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking over the five dynasties that have been nominated for this award. Each one of them shows amazing creative talent.

Wow... you like me! You really, really like me!

[Airhog]

Rushing onto stage after everyone has already left. Of course this is three days later. Wait, is there even a stage? Not that it matters much. I would have thought I could have gotten a decent dynasty this year, instead of this crap called hattrick...err wait this mic is on? Well Im very excited to be presenting this award for the best hattrick dynasty. Let's take a look at our nominees

Best Hattrick Dynasty

Everyone panic! The Crawfish have lasers!!! (The Afoci)

I personally think that this dynasty should win based on its title alone. Crawfish with laser's, who would have thought that

Maniacal Misfitz HT Dynasty (Havok)
I'm not to familiar with this dynasty, but maybe if i read these great dynasties my team wouldnt suck so bad in hattrick.

c. NE Oklahoma Sidekicks (vexroid)

This dynasty strikes close to home. No literally this guy lives down the stree from me. He's always shouting late at night about having crawfish hanging from his nutsack. But I have no idea what that means. Maybe its just inspiration to writing a big dynasty.

d. Screamin’ Seamen Football Club (DataKing)

There is'nt much you can say about this dynasty. Its an old dynstay which probably makes it better. Or maybe it just makes it older. You'll have to read it to find out.

Now then lets get down to the business of handing out awards.


The award that was good enough to make the ballot, but nobody voted for was....

Hmm, it seems I only have gold and silver winners but no bronze. How about I let the drunk guy in the dumpster next to us pick the award. Guy in Dumpster "mumbles"
Well now, that was quite an interesting choice. Something about rat stew. Hmm im not sure how that figures into our awards presentation.

So winning the silver in this category is.....









Silver: Screamin' Seamen
Its such an old dynasty, parts of it are still in latin




And Taking home the gold in this category....

THE AFOCI!!!!
And no, im not just saying that because i have a crawfish attached to my nutsack.





Wait a second folks. I have just recieved latebreak information that indeed there was a bronze winner. And the winner is

Airhog!
I can't believe my redneck dynasty won


Hmm why is security coming up here, maybe they want their picture taking with a GSA bronzr winner. Security grabs Airhog and escorts him out of the building after smashing his bronze statue over his head.

Its been fun folks, and until next year....Keep Writin them dynasties

[Kodos]

I'm pretty sure awarding yourself with a trophy in a category you weren't a finalist for is against our Golden Scribe Association constitution.

But I'll have to check. Chubby may have written it.

[Airhog]

If thats the case, I should have awarded myself the gold

[vex]

The Sidekicks 4 fans were seen rioting outside The Redneck Trailer in protest that they stole the Kicks bronze!

[DataKing]

E pluribus hattrickum

[The Afoci]

Hey, my golden scribe is only gold plated!

Thanks guys, who would have guessed all the late night drinking and drugs would have such benifits!

Keith Richards, maybe?

[The Afoci]

Good point. Does this mean I will write weird dynasties until I am about 40 and then just kind of live off the earlier ones until I am 109?

[revrew]

Well, that's what Kodos is doing. (hint, hint, get Gatesville back up again, hint)

[cthomer5000]

Wow. Thanks for the award guys! I really feel like i have to pick up my Rutgers dynasty again and lead it to some logical conclusion...

[Kodos]

Nah, people like it when you leave dynasties incomplete!

[tucker342]

lol

[Grid Iron]

Something came up at work, so I'm going to do this award Friday afternoon, about 4-6pm PST. Sorry to all the deserving nominees.

[Kodos]

No problemo. I have it on good authority that some awards may not be presented until Wednesday or later. No big hurry folks! Do it when you have time, and don't worry if you won't have time for a few days. We can wait.

[Glengoyne]

[approaches the microphone]

Good Evening everyone. I am glad to be here tonight to help present the Golden Scribe awards for the Category "Other Sports Dynasty". Let me see where did I put that list of Nominees? Uhhm, I'd like to take this time honor my favorite all time Hooters Girl. I'd like to lift a toast to Tara from the Little Rock Arkansas franchise. I found her and her hula hoop routine to be quite ..ehr... inspirational. This one's for you Tara!.

Allright Now that that is out of the way. Here are our Nominees.

FOFC Boxing by Breeze

The highlight amongst many highlights of this dynasty was the Title bout of the Irish Latino boxer Pancho O'Kelly(Bertograce). I would be remiss not to mention the antics of trainer Joe Bagodonuts as well. I thought the thread picked up quite a bit once "Razor" Blade stopped getting knocked out quite so often. This was one of those dynasties that got me interested enough to enquire about the game driving the story. I was pleasantly surprised that it is a freebee. Very nice indeed.

Second up is
FOFC Winston Cup by gold101/Render

This was an entertaining read. I was really pulling for JeeberD in the Rookie of the Year competition, but he came up short after leading with two races to go. As the season opened I thought everyone would be chasing the Snow man, Chris Snow(Render I believe my notes are incomplete), but he was no where to be found at the end of the season. The highlights of this dynasty were just like any other day at the track, the accidents. The pictures were a nice touch.

The third Nominee is
QPP - The QuikSand Ranch rides, yet again by QuikSand

Here we read about the exploits of QuickSand's stable. An interesting and relatively successful bunch. Most noteworthy is "Two Right Feet", I thought that was a pretty clever name until I realized that all horses have two right feet. Then I reconsidered and decided that it was clever after all, I think Quicksand just has that effect on people. In any case the likes of Two Right Feet, Dark Eagle, and Chick Burr won and lost many a race throughout this dynasty. I think the mix of raw data, in the familiar past performace format, and commentary was very effective in keeping the reader up to speed without overwhelming them.

That brings us to
Tiger Beware: A T.W. PGA Tour Dynasty by thealmighty

I somehow missed the PGA tour Dynasty in the title of this thread, and opened it up fully expecting to read a safari hunting dynasty. Instead I was pleasantly surprised to be able to follow the one the only theallmighty through the ups and downs of a PGA season. Most of the reader feedback to this thread seemed to be folks saying that after reading they just had to go pick up the game for themselves. Pretty high praise indeed.

Last but not least is

Sab Recreates Boxing History by sabotai
This dynasty was fast paced, fact filled and all business. After reading this I am looking forward to his promised next edition where he will continue remaking history with a new version of the game. Among the things I learned in this dynasty was that John L Sullivan fought a good thirty years before I thought he did. I was off by two whole generations. Since my understanding of boxing history gets fuzzy about the time Roy Jones was robbed in Korea, I really appreciated this one.

Allrighty then. Let's get this show back on the road here. The Bronze Trophy winner is


Here in this thicker that usual Envelope. We have a tie.
[Struggles with the envelope] While I do this take a look at the trophy.


Breeze and Sabotai are left to duke it out for a single trophy as
FOFC Boxing & Sab Recreates Boxing bring home the bronze.


The Silver Scribe goes to


Thealmighty for Tiger Beware



OKAY that leaves us one trophy, and a couple of deserving Dynasties and authors. I guess this one will be a photo finish, as that perm applies to each of "other" sports.
The winner of the Gold Golden Scribe award for The Category "Other Sport Dynasty" is...

FOFC Winston Cup Racing by Gold101 and Render


Very nice job fellas, congratulations are in order.

Really all of these dynasties were deserving in my mind. I enjoyed reading each one in preparation for tonight. My Congratulations to all of the nominees! Dynasty writing is hard work, and you should enjoy the recognition you earned.

[Abe Sargent]

Anxiety: I’m about to go on, I need to find my script. Script. Oh Scriptie! Where are you? Hey, Cthomer, you seen my script?

Cthomer5000: How did you pronounce my name again?

Anxiety: You know, Cthomer. “KTH-oh-mer” Much like that evil entity Cthulhu in H.P. Lovecraft’s world.

Cthomer5000: You mean, you do not pronounce it “See-Tho-mer” or ‘Cee-Tee-Ho-mer?”

Anxiety: Nope. It’s like ISiddiqui, which is pronounced “Ih-Sih-Dih-KWI” It remind me of another Cthulhu Mythos creature, Ithaqua, the Wind Walker.

Cthomer5000: You are a very weird man. (Cthomer5000 walks away)

Anxiety: I need to find my script. Hey, stkelly! Have you seen my script?

stkelly52: I don’t anybody has ever pronounced my name “SSTT-kell-ee” It’s Saint Kelly!

Anxiety: If it was Saint Kelly, then why doesn’t your name read St.Kelly52, eh? Is my script under this couch?

stkelly52: (mumbles to himself) I swear, he couldn’t be more psychotic

Anxiety: Excuse me, NAIWF? I can’t seem to find my script, have you seen it by any chance?

NAIWF: You pronounced my name “Nay-wf” Cute. Who else have you talked you.

Anxiety: Oh, you know, the regular bunch of guys. stkelly and Cthomer.

NAIWF: Bless you!

Anxiety: No, that wasn’t a sneeze…oh, nevermind. I also talked to cuervo72 (“Quare-voe”), and bbor (“buh-bor”), and then I spoke to WSUCougar (“Woo-soo-coo-gar”), an don’t forget rkmsuf (I don’t even want to know).

NAIWF: Did you ask Kodos (“Koe-dose”)? Maybe he was proofreading it?

Anxiety: Ah yes, that’s it! Thanks a bunch! You’re a super pal!



Off Stage Announcer: Ladies and gentleman, the time has come for the presentation of the Best Front Office Football Dynasty of the Year! Please welcome your host, Anxiety!

Anxiety: Thank you, thank you. I am honored to present this award tonight. You know, the sponsor for tonight’s show is none other than Front Office Football Central. Not TPF Central, not Hollywood Mogul Central, not Hattrick Central (Although sometimes it feels that way!. Can I get an Amen?), not Championship Manager Central, but FOF Central!

There is a lot of competition for the Front Office Football Award. With so much competition, you can be sure that this year’s nominees represent the best of the best. Anyways, without further ado, allow me to present the nominees:


Off Stage Announcer: (Cuts in when the video of the dynasties starts up) From The Bill Gates Challenge, its Kodos! This long standing dynasty plots the attempts of one man and his liege to take down the Evil One through a neighboring football team.

Bringing us the newest in modifications, Franklinnoble’s Enter the Matrix! Evil beings from the future use Football as a way to placate the masses! Enjoy it in all of its gory detail.

We go down south for the third nominee with cuervo72’s The 1970 Frederick Tequilas - An Experiment in Chemistry. A dynasty with a bit of flavor, must operate under a single sign. The stars have to align for the Tequilas to shine!

The next entry comes from the venerable QuikSand, with a bit of help from others, with his GroupThink 3 - Sizing up the Kitty Hawk Flyers. Taking the Flyers into the 2020’s, this team has to try and defeat their division rivals – Athens, Mazatlan, and Bermuda.

Next we have Iowegian Legion: 2k1 Des Moines Dragons, by none other than revrew. Can a professional football team composed of all Iowans go anywhere?

And then lastly, Grid Iron brings us The Nebraska Blizzards. Also stepping into the fire starting in 2020, The Blizzards fight through a season with a tough schedule – will the Colts stop them from seeing glory?


So, without further ado, the Bronze Scribe for Best FOF Dynasty goes to…..




Franklinnoble for his Enter the Matrix Dynasty! Come on down FN!

Franklinnoble: I just want everybody to know that I love you all. This is for YOU!!!

Anxiety: Whoa there, a little emotional buddy. Alright, the Silver Scribe for Best FOF Dynasty goes to…….



Wait a second….I am being told by the control room that we do not HAVE a Silver Award winner tonight. And that can only mean one thing. We have a tie for the GOLD! Our winners are……….



……………


…………..




Grid Iron’s The Nebraska Blizzards and Kodos with his Bill Gates Challenge!!! We only have one physical award, and since Kodos is running the show and can turn in a requisition for another award, we’ll give this trophy to Grid Iron.

Grid Iron: This ain’t what this is supposed to be about. I watched my daughter play soccer yesterday and it. (sniff) it was the greatest thing. That is what it is all about….”

Anxiety: Can we uh, get Kodos up here or something.

Kodos: …..so a big up yours from Rigel to you! (Kodos flips off the audience with a tentacle). Won’t give ME a frickin’ trophy….

Anxiety: And that does it for this year’s FOF Dynasty Award. A round of applause for all of our winners, all of our nominees, and everybody who turned in an FOF dynasty this past year. You are all winners. Except that you all lost except for these three guys. Losers.








Tentacle Flipping causes FCC Investigation

Masaki Oleh
Daily News

An uproar caused yesterday by Rigellian Kodos during the Golden Scribe Awards show. The Rigillian won the award for Best Front Office Football Dynasty in 2003, but because he tied another nominee for the award, he did not receive the physical trophy. As such, he made an obscene gesture.

Today, hundreds of phone calls poured into the FCC offices from irate parents, teachers, and pornographers who don’t want to give it away for free. FCC Chairman Steve Swellcock addressed this issue:

“We simply cannot have this sort of debauchery on our televisions. What’s next? Rigellian tentacles used as dildos and marketed to our children? We must stop this smut through any means possible”

Meanwhile, FOFC has declared that all future Golden Scribe broadcasts will run on a tape delay to prevent further incident.

[sterlingice]

Great presentation Anxiety. Anyways, I should have mine up this evening after I get back from class.

SI

[Abe Sargent]

Thanks!

-Anxiety

[revrew]

Nuts...knew I shouldn't have dropped the Legion. Had it kept going...

Oh, well. Couldn't do the Legion and the ZFL at the same time.

Wow! I can't believe it! I was just hoping for a bronze. This is so awesome. I'm honored to be mentioned alongside Kodos, one of the best dynasty writers here at FOFC.

Thanks for all those who voted for me. I'm off to the bar for a celebratory drink. After I throw a few back, I'll do the Rookie of the Year presentation. . .

[Chief Rum]

I just got back from a fight with a seat filler who didn't recognize me and noticed I won an award while I was away. My first gold! Congrats to Marm, with whom I share the award for both of our great baseball dynasties. I'm happy to see that a little detail didn't scare anyone away from my Halos dynasty.

Of course, as good as the Halos dynasty was, I find it ironic I wona gold for it when my best dynasty by far, Medieval Total War in Poland, only ended up with a silver last year (that's what happens when you go up against the behemoth known as X-Com).

CR

[tucker342]

Congrats to Gold101, Render, Kodos and Grid Iron!

And also to every one else that was nominated!

[Grid Iron]

Rookie Dynasty Writer of the Year Award

Kodos: And now, ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Rookie Dynasty Writer of the Year Award, ESPN broadcaster Suzy Kolber and co-winner of this year’s Football Dynasty of the Year, Grid Iron!

[Applause]

Kodos: Where the hell is Grid Iron?

Suzy: At the bar. Celebrating.

Kodos: Grid!!!

Grid Iron: (whispering to a Hooters waitress) No, it REALLY IS (*hick!*) that long!

Kodos: The award, Grid!

Grid Iron: Wha? Oh, yeah. . tha’ward cerebony . . (*hick!*). Stay right here, honey, I got a little Golden Scribe in my pocket fur youuuuu. . . (*hick!*).

Fritz: What’s your favorite flavor tonight, Ice Cream Man, Daquiri Ice?

[Grid Iron falls to the ground, collects himself and shuffles slowly onto the stage]

Suzy: Good evening, Grid!

[Grid Iron is slowly swaying from side-to-side with his eyes closed]

Grid Iron: Wha?!?!

Suzy: Good evening, Grid!

Grid Iron: Oh, hallo there, Suuuuuuuzie! (*hick!*) You look greaaaaat to-NIGHT! Ow!

Suzy: Uh, thanks Grid. Shall we introduce the nominees for FOFC Rookie Dynasty Poster of the Year?

Grid Iron: I WON!!! I WON!!! AND ALL YOU FU*%ERS CAN NEVER TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!!! WOO HOO!!! (*hick!*)

Suzy: That’s right, Grid, but now we need to give an award to someone else, OK?

[Grid Iron looks longingly at Suzy Kolber]

Suzy: You OK, Grid?

Grid Iron: I want to kiss you.

[Grid Iron leans toward Suzy]

Suzy: Thanks, Grid, but that’s not much of a compliment. Anyway, back to the awards. . .

[Suzy smacks Grid Iron in the head, and he falls over]

Grid Iron: Geeez, wha’d ya do tha’ for, Suuuuuzeeeey?

Suzy: We need to do the awards, Grid.

[Grid Iron collects himself again and stands up]

Grid Iron: Right, the awards. . .

Suzy: And the nominees are. . .

Grid Iron: MTAYSTL03 is the first nominaaaeee! (*hick!*) Yahooooo!

Suzy: No he’s not, Grid. He wasn’t a nominee because he never wrote a dynasty before the voting began.

Grid Iron: He didna’? (*belch*)

Suzy: No, he wasn’t eligible to win the award. Maybe next year.

Grid Iron: But I like Five Great Players so much!!!

Suzy: I know you do. . .

Grid Iron: Maybe next year?

Suzy: Maybe. . .

Grid Iron: OK.

[Grid Iron suddenly passes out on the stage]

Fritz: OK, rummy, back to the freezer for you. . .

[Fritz and his “security detail” (thugs from Anchorage, Alaska), drag Grid into the back room]

Kodos: Now presenting the Rookie of the Year Award with Suzy Kolber is NFL great Joe Namath!

Joe: Hi Suzy. Nice to see you again.

Suzy: Hi, Joe!

Joe: What a creep that guy is, huh? There’s just absolutely no excuse for something like that to happen.

Suzy: Thanks, Joe. I agree.

Joe: Anyway, where shall we begin?

Suzy: Announcing the nominees.

Joe: The nominees for FOFC Rookie of the Year are. . .

Suzy: The Afoci, for his captivating Hattrick Fighting Crawfish and Real Life Flag Football dynasties!

Joe: For the tantalizing Frederick Tequilas dynasty, Cuervo72!

Suzy: For the ground-breaking ZFL dynasty, Revew!

Joe: The final nominee is Breeze, for his action-packed WeBL Boxing League dynasty!

Suzy: They’re all great dynasties, aren’t they, Joe?

Joe: You betcha, Suzy. I follow all of them religiously.

Suzy: I wish they could all win. Well, here we go. . .

Joe: And the Bronze Scribe winner is . . .

Suzy: Congratulations to all the nominees, it was a very difficult race!

Joe: What'd I say? What'd I say?

I could take Revrew. I mean, the man has to be 100 with as many kids as he has.

Well, heres to next years letdown for me!

Thanks to all who voted and congrats Rev!

[sterlingice]

Argh, sorry for the delay but it's been one of those weekends. Tuesday afternoon, the Visual Presentation award will be posted.

SI

[tucker342]

Great write up Grid Iron

Congrats to The Afoci and Revrew!

[sabotai]

Thanks for the Bronze Scribe everyone. I didn't think I had much of a shot at it with that group of fine dynasties. In fact, I think QS got robbed, but then again his Ranch dynasty wasn't that long before he gave up on it because of problems with the game.

And I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of boxing history with the new one. Perhaps I'll grab the Gold next year...

Thanks again, and there's a lot more boxing history to recreate.

With Fargo's sterling record of accomplishment in the ZFL, I'm surprised to hear you talk, T.A.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not even 30 yet. Bring it on.

Okay, so I'm pissed. I accidentily closed my IE in which I was doing my presentation and just lost everything. It was long and I just can't fathom the idea of rewriting it. I'm sorry Kodos/ nominees. I won't be able to do the "Best TCY Dynasty" category any good, so hopefully some arrangement can be made.

[Kodos]

Note: This is being posted on behalf of MrBug708, who is away from the land of computers. It would have been posted sooner, but I had to go out of town unexpectedly last Friday and just got back tonight. I will figure out what is going on with other problems in the next few days.

- Kodos

The Dynasty of the year, is generally thought of to be one where the poster 1) They don't give up on it after a week *ahem* Golden Eagle 2) Get a lot of participation, whether it's random childish, and subliminal rankings by those of Easy Mac and The Afoci and the every popular, Fritz and 3) Just need to have one kickass title.

The nominee's include

Wolfpack's 2002 117-Team 1-A Dynasty where he let USC get WAY to far in my opinion.

Screamin' Seamen football club by Dataking, about a game I really don't care about, in Hattrick

CM4 - QuikSand's return to Lincoln City even if I didn't know he left to begin with

The Vincent Memorial League by Honolulu Blue in which MLB blew apart. It's rumored that The Boss's checkbook caused it.....

Tiger Beware: A T.W. PGA Tour Dynasty by thealmighty where apparently he plays the part of Vijay Singh.

ZFL 5 by revrew which is by far the longest running dynasty in regards to a sports game and I dont think I've looked at one post longer then 2 minutes.

The 1970 Fredrick Tequilas - An Experiment in Chemistry by cuervo72 is about a fictional 1970 Tequila team. It's by far the prettiest dynasty I have seen.

Everyone panic! The Crawfish have lasers!!! by The Afoci in another dynasty about that evil soccer sim.

Here are the award winners!



In third place, with having one attempted Dynasty ever, myself, MrBug708. With special consideration to Neuqua for always starting out with a stacked team in EVERY ONLINE LEAGUE! **Editors note: MrBug708 actually got a Bronze Bust of Carrot Top, not a Bronze Scribe **



On to the Silver Scribe, where we have QuikSand! for his lovely QuikSand Returns to Lincoln City.



Next we have The Afoci! with his Crawfish w/Laser's Dynasty. But of course, as you may have noticed, he didn't win, he only tied with QuikSand, allowing myself to give the Bronze Sculpture of Carrot Top to anyone I felt like.

And the Gold Scribe goes to

Thanks for all those who voted for me. I'm off to the bar for a celebratory drink. After I throw a few back, I'll do the Rookie of the Year presentation. . .

Congratulations, Grid Iron. I tend to believe that your dynasty deserved to win the FOF category outright (my dynasty hardly progressed at all last year), but thanks to a Chicago-style ballot-box stuffing, I was able to come up with a tie at the last moment. God bless those hanging chads and my connections to Jeb Bush! In any case, I'm proud to share the gold with such a creative, well-written dynasty as yours.

P.S. - Anyone interested in a taking a crack at the TCY dynasty presentation? Damn these live shows! It's so much easier to get things edited to flow smoothly when you complete them totally in advance...

P.P.S. - Anxiety: I shudder to think where those Rigelian dildos might be going...

Wow. Thanks, all. The ZFL would like to thank the voters, fans, participants...and the lovely award presenter girls.

Visual Representation

At first glance, this may seem like one of those boring awards like editing or something. But really, if you've win this, you're one of the best dynasties out there. These nominee dynasties are true multimedia efforts with both good writing and a good look, the total package. This is a new award for this year so whoever wins will be the first ever recipient of it.

As an aside, preparing for this allowed me to read a couple of dynasties I had never noticed before. I apologize in advance to any of these authors if I make any mistakes when describing their dynasties. The only one I had read before voting was X-Com so I can't tell for sure if some of the graphics have been lost to the place where internet graphics go to die. What can I say, I'm a hattrick guy and those are the dynasties I know best.

And now the nominees. Click on the thumbnail for a larger view.

cuervo72 The 1970 Frederick Tequilas - An Experiment in Chemistry [Link] One of 7(!) nominations for this dynasty or author. Unless I'm mistaken (which happens a lot), when I was voting, there were a ton of graphics that went along with the dynasty. However, these just weren't loading as I was taking screenshots. So instead, here is some plain text from the Tequilas. Sorry for the technical difficulties.

klayman Hearts of Iron: The Soviets [Link] As far as I can tell, text based only, but with great formatting. A long term dynasty which is quite impressive considering most of the war dynasties I've seen get very popular but die quickly. This one, however, has been going on nearly 6 months and is still going strong!

jshipman2 FOF2004: The Return of America's Team II [Link] Whether you love them or hate them, the Dallas Cowboys are one of the favorite dynasty teams at FOFC. jshipman2's incarnation went 3 seasons and was augmented with some of the best graphics and text formatting seen in a sim, football or otherwise.

Godzilla Blitz X-COM II: The Earth's Revenge [Link] While it didn't garner the 7 nominations cuervo did, everyone knows of this powerhouse. Does GB get to throw another Golden Scribe into his wheelbarrow full of them? Not only does this dynasty behemoth have good writing, but GB's added quite a bit of art in the past few incarnations as well.

And the Winners Are...

	BRONZE Hearts of Iron: The Soviets, klayman Clearly, klayman did just enough ballot box stuffing in his job as "independent" auditor. Hearts of Iron wins the Bronze Scribe.
	SILVER X-COM II: The Earth's Revenge, Godzilla Blitz In what some might consider a mild upset considering GB's sway with the voters, X-Com takes the Silver Scribe. And the winner is...
	GOLDEN SCRIBE The 1970 Frederick Tequilas - An Experiment in Chemistry, cuervo72 Frederick Tequilas! cuervo gets his first Golden Scribe in a big way! In his previous nominations, everyone noted how great it looked and it pays off big here.

Closing

With the new WYSIWYG interface, this category is going to be even more competitive next year as it's getting easier and easier to make your dynasty look good. But all of these guys did it the old fashioned way in the good old days. Congratulations to all the nominees and on with the show.

Congrats, Cuervo!

Cuervo's presentation is a dimension better than all the rest. I'm glad he won. He deserves it.

Thanks for the silver, though!
