For the first time ever, a representative of the Buzztime Community has been nominated for the Trivia Hall Of Fame. The Fellowship and I were humbled to find out this week that we are on the ballot for the Class of 2020. While we would be honored to be enshrined, we also think a recognition of NTN/Buzztime in the Hall Of Fame is long overdue.
Plus, if you ever played with us, you would technically be a Hall-Of-Famer, too!
Voting is easy: Just go to
http://www.triviahalloffame.com/vote/vote.php and vote for three choices. Because James Holzhauer is a shoo-in, it would probably maximize our chances if he was one of your three votes, too. No more than four can be elected in any year.
I know that all this sounds like self-promotion, which will seem strange to those of you who have known me over the years (going back to the old Buzztime Forums). I have long been uncomfortable with self-promotion--one of the main reasons I chose my handle to be ANON more than 20 years ago.
But you will also know that I have never had trouble praising my team—an extraordinary group of people who are not only super-smart, but also super-nice, and super-team-oriented players. This is really about them. When the Hall Of Fame informed us that it was considering us, but that it only inducts “people, not groups,” I asked the team if we wanted to decline consideration for this reason. Yet they overwhelmingly voted not only to be considered, but also to choose me as the avatar for the team (with the crucial “et al.” qualifier). Regardless what you may think of me, their consistently-excellent performance over many years is ample proof that they really deserve this. I sincerely hope you will consider voting for us, and encourage your Buzztime friends to vote for us, too.
Sincerest thanks for your consideration.
ANON
