How does the NO CIGAR award work? Does anyone get it that received a vote for it? I was expecting it to be the review or article with the most NO CIGAR nominations that would receive it.

I think it's basically a fourth place award which doesn't get any points.

Makes sense. Both my NO CIGAR nominations have appeared already. I evidently voted a bit differently to everyone else.

Will those who got more than one NO CIGAR award have the number put next to their NO CIGAR tally?

Unlucky, PP. Hopefully you'll have been buoyed by some of the feedback you got for that piece.

Damn, three third places though. Not all bad. Still I knew a rant about how much a dislike Final Fantasy wouldn't go down well with a few people

Yeah. FWIW, Priesty, yours was one of the five articles I mentioned which were competing for my votes.
EDIT: It appears you got one second place rather than three thirds.

The Witcher review was unlucky. It got my third place vote. It being sixth means that a couple of the places are going to be a surprise to me.

The Witcher - by the barest squeak - got my NO CIGAR award. It was so close between that and the third-placed review, which means there are a couple of surprises above it.
