The thought of BEES getting a best setup award makes me really, really uncomfortable.

This is going back to when Marquis was nominated for that one game in particular, back on Page 23. I'm all for him getting awards as a body of work thing!

BEES was scumsided. It had a lot of gimmicky ideas and tons and tons of weird setup speculation, but it didn't actually give the town enough concrete power. I don't think setup speculation should have that much influence over any normal game, and I really don't like the idea of less experienced mods who don't have reputations yet aspiring to cover that sort of ground.

Marquis ran it well, and I've got nothing against him as a mod in general! But yeah. I don't think BEES was an example of a strong setup, and I definitely don't think it was an example of a strong

normal

setup.
