Notice that neither Flagship nor Paper Mayhem are up for awards in either of
the gaming magazine catagories, but TSR can snea a nomination in for White Wolf
Magazine, in case one doesn't know, TSR and White Wolf is the same relationship
that Proctor and Ga
mble has to Crisco (read the can's label and guess who makes Crisco..).  The
readers aren't out of touch, judging by the current ratings of games in Paper
Mayhem, the nominators for the Origin's awards are totally out of touch.

I wrote a letter to the Origins awards demanding to know who was on the
nominating committee and what there relationship with FBI, GSI, and RSI is or
was.  I doubt I'll get a letter in response since PBM is the bastard child of
the gaming industry, but the
 in PBM are fast waning.
