For instance, your award was earned by the comment "In 1991, ran out of floppy disk space is far more likely", which was a correction of my statement that producers probably run out of money, since there's so little speech in the game. Missed Classics and other extra posts tend to confuse this a bit, since awards for them are given usually in the next suitable Final Rating of a game from an official list.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-41251537426841992142016-02-11T15:03:13.114+11:002016-02-11T15:03:13.114+11:00We do have this big book of official TAG awards, w...We do have this big book of official TAG awards, written by Trickster and handed down to the current admin in time immemorial. Unfortunately, it is written in ancient Mongolian script, and since neither me nor TBD are native speakers, we've had some trouble deciphering it. For instance, the Quality Taste Award should probably have been translated as Yak Butter Award, but that just didn't seem to make any sense.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-12916230705123661562016-02-11T14:50:56.823+11:002016-02-11T14:50:56.823+11:00Not a propos of its context here, but in that &quo...Not a propos of its context here, but in that "Mr. Wattson, come here, I want you" screenshot, the game is making reference to <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Alexander_Graham_Bell#Quotes" rel="nofollow">Alexander Graham Bell's first words ever spoken via telephone</a>.<br /><br /><i>Historian Award - 5 CAPs - For pointing out an obvious thing with the floppy disk space</i><br /><br />We're going to have to start deep-linking these, I only have the haziest of memories regard whatever remark I'm being feted for here, and no idea what game it was pertaining to.Rowan Lipkovitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691096685515251681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-91457282986922930182016-02-11T10:42:06.796+11:002016-02-11T10:42:06.796+11:00I'm almost starting to think you're just m...I'm almost starting to think you're just making up all these awards as you go.
