NGA 2016 NOMINATIONS

[LeafApollo]

Well, as a request from Mr. Palmer, I have finished planning the award categories for the 2016 show. (Even though the next show is months away) Regardless, we will accept nominations now. Remember, a nomination must have a SECOND or THIRD to make the ballot. Only nominate moments from early last year (Jan-Mar 2015) or this year (Up to Mar. 2016). Mods, please update the list if I am unable to do so. As we are in our 2nd year, we are bringing back 2 familiar award categories. This year, we have 13 categories (you can nominate new categories for awards if you wish) This may have been opened early, but we'll have plenty of time to get more moments in.

I think the best moment was the $100,000 Crap Out win and the funniest and most painful moment was the first Super Dice Words that I had done.

[tmann3x]

Most painful moment-- James Greek for not using the power chip on the next card... an Ace in the Beat The Dealer bonus round on Gambit.

[palmer7]

Second all of Leaf's nominations.

[palmer7]

I started at BigJon's, but I also had the Super Lot for $875 (all the prizes + cash jackpot + $500,000 gold/a house/etc.). Evan won the Lot, but lost when going for the Super Lot, same with Marc. So yeah, it has been about 2 or 3 years.

[koopakid17]

I want to nominate Cameron adding the comma to his solve on Wheel of Fortune: Seasons 1999 as Most Painful Moment. He was on the Jackpot wedge for that one.

Thirding Leaf's nominations for Best Player and Best Host along with Gambit and Hollywood Squares for Best of Channel 3 and Michael C. winning the lot in Best Moment.

[LeafApollo]

UPDATE: Due to the recent incident, Michael's Super Lot win has been disqualified.
However, I'm going to nominate Tony, Bill and Doug for Best Graphcis/AV Effects.

[wheellover1991]

Leaf, I second all of those.

[gameboy2000]

Here is one for best NG moment: Clement winning $1.8 million on the finale of my version of Card Sharks.

[palmer7]

A nomination for most painful moment: The reversal of Michael's Lot "win" on $ale of the Century.
