Awards and honors

Fennis Dembo, First Team All-Western Athletic Conference

gollark: I would, if possible, prefer an xenowyrm - changing the color scheme is fine.

gollark: There might be other oddly shaped ones which *do* have 12 identical faces though.

gollark: Not with regular polygons as faces!

gollark: <@!192738500934762497> This is a bit late, but I think a better 12-sided die would be dodecahedral. Unless that one already is and I can't see it.

gollark: You should probably just treat prices as random walks. Sometimes with vague upward/downward trends.
