Nicko was one of the real stars of the season, despite not even making the merge. He made history as the first player to be Most Robbed and Pre-Jury All Star, and it was because we had no other choice without rigging something. Nicko was one of the season’s biggest personalities, right up there with JC and Kyle. He was entertaining, funny, and also a damn good player. He was at the top of everyone’s trust rankings, and was involved in everyone’s game plan somehow. Everyone, that is, except for the opposing tribe. When the mad lad JC pulled advantages out of his ass and Sparta kicked these tribe divisions into oblivion, Nicko became our last pre-juror. It was an epic way to go, and just cements Nicko as even more of a SurviVARS legend.

### **Nominations**

**Funniest Player**

Nicko was so fun to have around for this season. He was dedicated to this game like nobody else was, and his placement as #2 in the rankings proves this. But aside from all of that, he was also one of the biggest hearts on the cast, even after he was gone. His confessionals were always lighthearted and fun, and he brought so much joy and humor to this season’s messier moments. His ghost reacts were one of my favorite recurring bits, and his memes in spec lounge were always a joy. His refusal to allow me to remain in the #1 rank was admirable, but also entertaining (even though he ultimately failed). Nicko gave us so much love and laughter this season, and we’re all grateful for it.

**Fan Favorite**

Nicko being a fan favorite nomination despite being a prejuror should surprise nobody. He was the most active player in the season by miles, ending up as #2 in the server (and I bet he’s still mad he didn’t pass me). He was one of the most active spectators, and is easily one of the best confessionalists we’ve ever had. If he had stayed longer he would’ve been a lock for a Voice of the Season nomination. His personality and sense of humor made him one of our most popular players, and that’s why he ended up on this list of fan favorites.

### **Awards**

**Pre-Jury All Star**

Surprise, surprise. The player who ended up as #2 in the server despite being a pre-merge boot is nominated as Pre-Jury All Star. It’s insane that somebody who went home before the merge wound up being more active than literally any of the players who outlasted him. He loved this game that much. He was a main character prior to his elimination, but he somehow remained a main character even after his elimination. He was active (sometimes too active…) in player confessionals, and was an avid spectator to the very end. Ghost Nicko was always watching, and we loved having him in the spec lounge. This isn’t the last time Nicko will come up in this awards list, so I won’t go much more into his activities prior to his elimination, because that’s all coming. For now, I’ll just give Nicko my sincerest gratitude for caring as much as he did, and for giving us so much joy and laughter throughout this season.

**Most Robbed Player**

Nicko really had it all, and then it was all taken from him in one fell swoop. He was at the top of people’s trust rankings, had solid social connections all around, and was winning a bunch of pre-merge challenges that set his tribe up for success in the merge. Then all it took was JC’s mad lad mutiny to take him out before his time. Nicko was consistently a contender on Edgic, and was one of the main characters of the game up until his elimination. It’s sad that his story ended so soon, but he is a key reason why I believe that the Evolution pre-merge is the best SurviVARS has seen. And that’s saying something, because it also saw two quits and a few easily predictable boots. Nicko was the core of this season right up until he went home, and I can only imagine how different the game would’ve been if he stuck around.
