XYZZY 2018 Nominations Discussion

4 days!? PSA: deadline for first round voting ends in roughly 4 days!

You can share your thoughts on nominations here if you want. If you have strong feelings about an entry, especially for best puzzle/best npc/best pc, maybe let people know. Or just anything you think deserves a shoutout, especially if you think it’s a longshot. Add them to mathbrush’s IFDB polls https://ifdb.tads.org/allpolls?user=nufzrftl37o9rw5t&game=&sortby=&pg=all (They def. helped refresh me memory)
