2023/07/27	Cook	hellbooks	Micro 1089: the coalition, again	She posted an entire House of Leaves-esque readslist of the rest of the game, for no real reason. Amazing.

Kodak Moment
2023/11/1	Cook	camelCasedSnivy Radical Rat, RH9, Bingle (as victims), Cook	TemporalLich's Grandest Idea uPick	In this game, Cook drafted a Werewolf Dayvig with three bullets and the ability to fire off multiple shots in the same day. She used them in a pretty ridiculous fashion, spread out across three days. Day one: Cook is run up to E-1 for inactivity, and camelCasedSnivy asks her to claim. Her response? Shoot him. And then miss. Due to how camelCasedSnivy claimed, this ended up confirming him as not being Town, and he won as Unjester the following night. Day two: Not that interesting for our story. Cook got an invention called the Trolley Problem Lever, which, if accepted and pulled, would have instantly outed her team and the Mafia as scum. Day three: Bingle claims he has a powerful role that could break the game if he used it the wrong way. Cook makes the connection, calls him out on it. The wagons are deadlocked at E-2, Bingle is stalling and refuses to claim, and now Cook's partner is taking heat. So what does Cook do? Shoots them both. Yes, Cook shot her own teammate with a dayvig. Both flip scum. The massive towncred from being mech-confirmed lets her ride all the way to 3p ELO without so much as a passing glance from anyone else. There was a lot of insane things this game, but I think the friendly fire that turned Cook from an E-1 to locktown takes the cake.

Jan 8 update: I changed the nom to Kodak Moment and threw in Bingle and camelCasedSnivy (as victims of Cook's rampage)

The Modfather
2023/11/20	DragonEater70	Alianna	Let's start with some stats! Did you know that in 2023, Alianna modded or co-modded 6 Newbie games? That's a THIRD of all Newbie games that were run this year. She also modded 5 Open games in 2023. She ALSO modded and backup/co-modded quite a few Normal games (more on this later). Alianna constantly has at least one game running at every point in time, and she often has two (or more, if you consider games she's backup modding). This is a great contribution to the site in terms of moderation. Putting the stats aside for a second, Alianna's moderation is of very high quality. Her games run smoothly, she's dedicated to doing her mod duties even when real life gets in the way, and there's a VC every pagetop (okay, maybe not EVERY pagetop). Notably, she managed to run a Newbie game with ten replacements (a huge number considering a Newbie game only has 9 players), and run it smoothly. Oh, and did I mention how her dedication to modding goes beyond her own games? Every time I asked her to be a backup mod, she said yes with no hesitation. I think that's pretty cool.

That's 1/2 Modfather noms.

Oh and Alianna, I'm going to read your mind again and say that you are welcome for the ego boost.

nth alianna

she takes good care to make sure actions resolve correctly (vis a vis Normal Idea Mafia, for instance) and it's been fun playing under and backup modding for her!
