We should call it the jeep award. He once got accused of cheating, he was so good.

(I found that in my trawl through the archives to unearth the history of newbie games)

My Illustrated Mafia didn't win. I'm sad :(

I liked the flavor of your Illustrated Mafia better than any other game I've played in. It sets the standard as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you Adel. It's good to know that :)

I thought you were certain to win, tbh.

Huh not sure how I mentioned pooky. Glork is good and that wasn't about the actions of one individual. I went from Glork to the point that we should all be striving for our own improvement and not for praise and awards. Where's the satisfaction of a job well done? You get that from yourself not others. I just think effort is lacking in some directions in general with alot of people even me. Guess I'm just underwhelmed or not feeling challenged since I ain't played in games in awhile and it feels like others aren't even trying to play when I'm reading games while bored.

The best way to improve yourself, make better and fun games, lower replacements, stop lurking, or do whatever it is you want, would be if everyone strived harder themselves and that effort is lacking in alot of places.

For me, recognition is important. I want everyone to know I am a good mafia player. If I were the greatest pianist who ever lived but everyone said I was rubbish, or just ignored me, I wouldn't bother playing piano.

Similarly, though I get a certain amount of satisfaction out of just playing well, I get more satisfaction from actually winning. I get a certain amount of satisfaction out of winning, and more satisfaction out of winning because I played well. I get more satisfaction when that is acknowledged. If I won a scummy, I would be pleased, because it would show that people think I am not just a good player, but the best in whatever category it was I won, and that would give satisfaction. I accept you have a different psychology about this, but the scummy awards serve a purpose.

ironically I actually kind like the simplicity of empking or killa seven's play as of late. I have actually developed good ways of reading them when looking at some of their games. Ain't really got a good enough opinion of SSK's play though I have heard he's getting better.

What I said started out with direction towards certain people or classes but i want the message to reach and touch all since it can apply to everyone in some ways. We just need to recognize our own faults and strive to surpass adversity.

And if you think enough said here can be made into its own thread without effecting comments caught with the scummy and that it should be in its own thread then knock yourselves out I guess.

Maybe you ought to explore BabyJesus or Fritzler's play, then?
