From Hobo Weekly Issue 8:
Rev: Like most good ideas, I came up with it while I was dropping a deuce. Yeah, poopin. My wife had left her copy of People magazine in the bathroom, and feeling like I was in this one for the long haul, I needed some reading material. I started to leaf through, and it was the "Best and Worst of 2005" issue. The wheels started to turn, and once I had finished doing my business I hopped on the computer and bounced the idea off of my muse, Yuk. He immediately liked the idea, and we kicked around some ideas for categories before I headed to the F&G board to post up the first annual Bummy Award nomination thread.

From Hobo Weekly Issue 7:
3) How do you think last year's Bummies [2005] influenced HoboWars? Do you think this year's [2006] going to be just as big of an influence?
Rev: I think it had a huge influence in many ways. RP Mcmurphy won Hobo of the Year, but prior to the awards I had not had too much interaction with him. Since then, we have become very good friends. I think it brings to light some of the good things about the community, which seem to go unnoticed sometimes. It really brings the community together for 1 purpose, and I have no reason to think that this year will be any different. The prizes are bigger, and more people are aware of the competition and how it works, so I expect really big things.

2006 Bummys
December, 2006
From Hobo Weekly Issue 7 (in anticipation of 2006 Bummys)
6) Lastly, please include anything else you'd like to say or that I might've missed from this interview.
Rev: I just want to mention a few of the rules of the Bummies. You may not receive votes from members of your own gang, You may only vote once per candidate, players under 70 days old may not vote, and if I find out you are campaigning/paying people to vote for you, I will remove you from the nominees. I want to mention these as much as possible before the voting process begins, as these things are what took up most of our time when calculating the votes last year. I'd also like to thank everyone who donated to the prize pool in advance, this could not have been done without all of you.
