VOTE: LynchMePls for Most Outstanding New Player for his work in Star Wars Mafia.

He's been on-site since May 10 and has managed to win the game on Day 10 after losing his last scum partner on Night 6. This is after replacing in for me on Day 3. Really great job for someone who's only been here for 2 months.

I am pretty surprised that the town lost in the end. I was hoping with my nailing of Darth Vader that the town might have a chance, especially when we cross-killed Grand Moff Tarkin a few days later. But six days after that, with nothing but town lynch after town lynch, LynchMePls was sitting on the top of the stack, smiling evilly, with electricity still crackling from his fingertips.

*cackling, not smiling. Well... either/or. haha

Nominate Star Wars Mafia for Best Setup

I think it just had the perfect mix of roles. Very balanced and lots of fun.

Seconded!

This was my first game on mafiascum.net and to date I can never recall laughing so hard, or more maniacally.

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved this game. Love Love Love Love Love.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate

SaintKerrigan

for

Best Setup

and

Best Flavor

for

Mini 981: Descent into Chaos

! (now that it's finally over! lol)

The flavor in that game was literally

FANTASTIC

. It makes me want to become a writer.
I immediately pestered him to co-mod my next game.

[ReaperCharlie]

camn's avatar is so hot.

[ReaperCharlie]

camn's avatar is so hot.

I know >.<

Also, I finished my flavor for glitch in time last week. I felt victorious.

link please?

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't know if this is a valid award category (yet), but I would like to nominate

hasdgfas

for some kind of a

Best Backup Mod

award.

He really impressed me, coming in to mod both Harry Potter Mafia and Gears of War Mafia simultaneously, when the mods disappeared.

The mod's still gone for one of them, so he had to finish moderating it all the way until the end, and did an awesome job.

[ReaperCharlie]

So did I. Sad Dumbledore is sad... the evil guys won

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate

Star Wars Mafia

and

Harry Potter Mafia

for

Most Enjoyable Game

.

Star Wars for first half of the year, Harry Potter for latter half of the year.

Sorry I didn't get this in sooner for Star Wars, I know it's late.

[ReaperCharlie]

Dang... how did nobody nominate semioldguy for his epic cult win in Stars Aligned II?!!

:sadface:

[ReaperCharlie]

10th hasCow for Smooth Operator.

lol ok thats enough. I think he's gonna win that award, there are no other people in that category, rofl

[ReaperCharlie]

Nth SpyreX for funniest player

, simply because I don't think I should win an award like that for one post.

ITT we learn that gandalf5166 has good sportsmanship, even to the point of voting for his opponent who he thinks is the better man in this case.

+1 respect

[ReaperCharlie]

awwww :wub:

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate

Vi

for

Name Should Be In Orange

; mostly for deleting hundreds of spam pages and users on the Wiki for a long time. When I saw the deletion log, I was blown away.

Edit:

Also for stuff like this: http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14683

[ReaperCharlie]

He's only a jerk in his scum games.

Uhhhh... no.

[ReaperCharlie]

Also,

Nominate New Award: Best Hydra Performance

Hydras are becoming increasingly popular on the site. While not everyone particularly enjoys them and some players even despise them, I think it takes a certain skill set to actually play well in a hydra and good hydra play deserves to be rewarded. Not only does this help recognize players who do well, but it will help demonstrate to newer players how a hydra should properly exist in a game (ie, not schizo).

Second.

I think this would actually be a really great idea.

It'd increase the mainstream appeal of hydra-ing, and would promote more teamwork and less individualism.

It'd also make for some great reminiscence, after the fact.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate MagnaofIllusion for Best Third Party Performance in Personal Agenda Mafia

He won as jester which wasn't an easy thing to accomplish. The game advert in the signup thread and the OP of the game mentioned the possibility of jester... no one even suggested Magna might be that jester. The nature of the setup meant that 7/12 players in the game had a specific target that they had to outlive in order to win (one of these was a mafia usurper), none of them had Magna as a target which meant that he had to overcome people's mod defined agenda to lynch people other than him. He was forbidden from self voting which meant that he had to get an entire majority of votes to win the game.

Most jesters I've seen go out and try to be as scummy as they can from the get go and hope no one thinks of the possibility. Magna didn't, he played the role very cleverly. Day 1 he took control over the town and gained the trust of the majority of players in the game - he even managed to get himself doc protected on night 1. On day two he betrayed that trust in the worst way possible by claiming an investigative role and naming someone he was pretty certain was town as scum resulting in that player's lynch. On Day 3 he ranted about being insane in a terrible attempt to defend himself while the town summarily lynched him. All in all, very good play, I thought.

Third

Magna

[ReaperCharlie]

bv310, you DO know, don't you, that a certain line you said in that game directly resulted in somebody else's user title, right?

See my wiki if you're confused. kek

[ReaperCharlie]

Nominate Flameaxe for Smooth Operator Award

NY 118: BBM's Large Normal Mafia

He was quick with the vote counts, replacements, prods, and night actions for the entirety of the time I was there (day 2-day 8); this is very praiseworthy, especially in a large game.

Second.

AND he found someone who was willing to replace into a 92-page game. Legit.

Nth'd.

[ReaperCharlie]

I would like to nominate

Plum 'n Andy's The Lord of the Rings Mafia

for the

Most Enjoyable Game

award.

Also for the

Best Game Ever

award. lol <3

[ReaperCharlie]

No gollum love?

Hmmm.... should we

nominate Nero Cain for best Third-Party performance

?... yeah, why not?

Whether he

wins

or not will be another story, but that performance at least deserves a nomination, if nothing else.

[ReaperCharlie]

You chose wisely.

*rubs hands evilly*

[ReaperCharlie]

On a side note, I thought it was REALLY weird to have the One Ring be a player. Whose idea was that??

[ReaperCharlie]

The way I see it: Nominate all "otherwise" deserving performances, and let the best man (or woman, or "it", as the case may be) win!

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, I totally agree that that thing has a mind of its own, but... an item AND a player?

wtf were you guys thinking? lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah the One Ring being strangled by Gollum, really REALLY makes no flavor sense whatsoever.

Shame on you guys. ... it was still an awesome game, though.

[ReaperCharlie]

I could be wrong, but I believe the Award has to go to somebody who wins as Third Party, not just somebody who "does well."

[ReaperCharlie]

4th

Antihero almost single-handedly won that game for the town, while town babbled around and lynched well... other town players.

5th

. Excellent.

[ReaperCharlie]

Fifth Glork

[ReaperCharlie]

Still waiting on Andrius to send his colors in. Just sayin'

[ReaperCharlie]

Boo, Nero! Don't judge me!

Also, nominate Hoopla for the

Funniest Site-Specific Colloquial Contribution

for this.

Yeah, I know it's not an award. But it should be.

[ReaperCharlie]

How about now?
