If you keep reading, you'll notice that Simenon/YB were criticized for a self-nomination there also.

Fourth Greasy Spot for Funniest Claim

I'm actually against Y for best performance, on the general "IC scum shouldn't get awards for winning newbie games" theory.

Simenon wrote:New Award: "Best Game Illustrations"

Isn't this covered partially by "Most enjoyable game"?

To recognize the players that donate their time and MS energy to newbies and newbie games.

I think that it takes a lot of patience and skill to impart reliable and useful information to new players within an environment where paranoia and suspicion are endemic. The best ones also play the game well while they're doing it.

We've had this in the past. The problem is that nobody was sure who deserved to be nominated for it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

That's one of the harder awards to assign. I know that the year I was part of the judging team we couldn't assign it because nobody could really suggest a good candidate.
