The Special Award is a rotating award for which 667ers choose an entirely new criterion every year. Previous years’ Special Awards include Most Missing, Most 13 Year Old, Best Out of Context Quote, Most Likely to Secretly be Daniel Handler, Best Person at Finding Out Stuff to do with the Netflix Series (that probably needs a snappier name), Most Conspicuously Absent, and Best Potential Quarantine Buddy.
Please present, and, if you wish, discuss, your proposal for this year's Special Award. Ideally, you should provide a justification for your choice - but at the end of the day, or more accurately on the day of March 5th, all proposals will be put to a public vote, so even a lousy justification will pass muster if the idea is sufficiently compelling!
Submissions are now closed.

The Great Pretender
- I think this year we had pretenders and deceivers in many ways. Whether in games or people taking on new identities. Furthermore, it was in 2020 that an anime of the same name was released on the same platform as the asoue series was released. And being a deceiver matches the ASOUE theme.

I like this title / idea, but do you think it's too close to Most Notorious?

The idea is to reward the pretenders of good, and not the pretenders of evil. You know, that includes those who created good plot Twists, cheated others surprisingly in spyfall, and those who assumed the identity of villains known to asoue.

You’re just trying to get a certain person an award, aren’t you?

Not really ... I had planned a prize called the best spyfaller ... But I didn't think it was right to limit it to a single game. In addition to the game's own score indicating who is the best in that game. But there were some memorable appearances. In addition, outside the game there were acts of deceiving others that were very good as well. Even if a story doesn't win as the best story, it may have a Twist plot so good that its author can be considered a great deceiver. Or even if you assumed Esmé's identity ... That may have been cool. Or maybe you believe that Dante is the great Pretender for other reasons ... Or mustache glasses.

Most Likely to Secretly be Daniel Handler, Who won that, I wonder? It was a tie between alvaromolina, a poster who seemed to have inside knowledge about the Netflix series, and Trip from the Future, an in-joke within an in-joke, which I still don't understand.

The Best Escapist - The reality was very difficult in 2020. So escapist entertainment and paying attention to the conicidences that exist between the real and the fictional world has been an option. How about rewarding the one who did it best?

Best Quirk
I think a lot of 667ers have these special quirks about their online personality so let's award that.

I'd like to suggest a pair of awards: Most Rational and Most Irrational.

Special Award, hm, hm... I'm probably very unqualified for this, seeing as I've only been back for two months, but I'll give it a whirl.
Best Group Heist Leader? I'm not trying to suggest larceny here, and as far as I am aware no 667er has stolen from a bank, but it would be interesting to see how members perceive each other and the banner could have a picture of Ms. Bass on it.
