19/01/23	Ariel	Ethel	The Weakest Link 3, Adorable Critter Survivor, Survivor: Risk v. Reward	Ethel was a standout LSG player this year. She sparked joy in TWL3 with social prowess that incorporated artistic talent. She reached the Final 4 and was voted out for being a threat. She formed strong bonds that carried her far in her next two games this year, reaching the finals in both games and approaching the jury with flair.

19/01/23	Ariel	Thestatusquo	Adorable Critter Survivor	Shea really dove into LSGs this year. He was a huge, active presence in Adorable Critter Survivor. Though some of his allies turned on poor Red Panda due to seeing him as a threat, he left the game with a pal for life in Sand Cat. Since then, he took the community by storm by doing most of the legwork on getting the next game modded. He also made a comeback to the wonderful of world of Mish Mash by participating in the 2022 NFL 3 Strikes Challenge. What a good sport!

19/01/23	Ariel	Cat Scratch Fever	Codenames	Cat Scratch Fever was an active participant in all of this year's Codenames games, even taking up the mantle of modding toward the end of the year. While boasting a 50/50 win rate, she comes across as a fun team player who communicates well!

19/01/23	Ariel	Farren	Zendo Questions, Codenames, Math and Logic Puzzles, Pandemic, Point Salad	As you can see from my non-exhaustive links list, Farren was super involved in General Mish Mash this year, and I think he would be a great winner in this category this year. He is a committed player that absolutely fits the bill of someone that you want to be on the same player list as. In Zendo Questions, he got other people's rules right so many times that he ceded the opportunity to be the Oracle to give someone else a chance. As a newer player to Pandemic, he seemed to really embrace learning the ins and outs of the rules and helped lead the team to strategic victory. He even saved the people of Khartoum from disaster. He took the win in Point Salad by cleverly maximizing his carrots and lettuce and holding the tomatoes. He has an above-average winrate in Codenames to boot.

19/01/23	Ariel	GeorgeBailey	The Weakest Link 3, Chicken Scratch, January Movie Challenge, Pandemic	GeorgeBailey has been a source of fun and excellence in Mish Mash this year! In Chicken Scratch, in the Thorberg case, GeorgeBailey drew the "brainy wedding" so well that his teammate understood the prompt perfectly! In the game's second iteration, he actively & effectively sleuthed for the botcher. He took on the January Movie Challenge with a quality approach that added to the atmosphere, if not quantity. He helped the team to victory after replacing into Pandemic by focusing on controlling the blue disease and brought levity with GIFs. On the LSG side, he started off TWL3 with a nostalgic bang by showing his Robot Unicorn Attack skills. He was ultimately sent to the jury for being a social threat.

19/01/23	Ariel	Irrelephant11	Point Salad	The OP and the final results post are both very pretty and a good level of informative. Throughout the game, there's nice touches with the fun veggie emojis and also the cute quips and recipe links in response to game decisions.
