Also, Nominate Mr. Grey for best setup as wellIt's never too late to dig yourself out of a hole with the truth, unless you've been investigated as scum. I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened yet. So get to work helping us track down your fellow dirtbags! ~ MBL-

I was reading the game on a whim out of boredom and I just kept falling over in my chair laughing at Stoofer's posts. Eventually I just decided screw the game, and read just Stoofer's posts in isolation. I have never had so much fun reading a game before. Here are some of the more brilliant posts:

It seemed like this dropped off a bit at the end of the game, but I thought it was awesome.Paraphrasing a role PM takes seconds, fabricating a good fakeclaim takes an eternity.

Ha, that is indeed pretty sweet.
But I think it might be more appropriate to nominate it for aProfessor MafiaAward; I would think the "Best Pro-Town Performance" would be somebody who was just nailing scum left and right, whereas "Professor Mafia" is taking a set-up in isolation and analyzing it, or commenting on strategies."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

I've always kind of thought of the professor Mafia being sort of an award for discussion contributions to mafia, and the best performance for in game accomplishments. To me, then, fonzes effort looks better for best performance to me.
Especially since it's not any kind of contribution to relevant theory, as he's assured that setup will never be run again.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

I just got around to checking this thread after reading said game.
Upon further review, I endorse this product and/or service.gorckat wrote:

nth both!
Edit: If I had to pick just one I personally think he would deserve the professor one more since I do believe he said something to the equivalent of joining the game in order to test said gamebreaking idea, but either way his performances/contrabutions should not be ignored easily.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly-

You guys do realize that this Texas Justice has already been broken, right? The Fonz's game-breaking strategy was just a variation on the original strategy that mathcam created in the first Texas Justice mafia. It's not really anything new to see someone break this setup. I'd support best performance, but I don't think Professor Mafia fits the bill, since he didn't contribute anything new.Permanent V/LA.-

I'd like to suggest a new category: Best IC.
To recognize the players that donate their time and MS energy to newbies and newbie games.
I think that it takes a lot of patience and skill to impart reliable and useful information to new players within an environment where paranoia and suspicion are endemic. The best ones also play the game well while they're doing it.-

I'm pretty sure that the judges could use a combination of both, in addition to how helpful they are for the newbies. I don't think it should be either qualitative play or quantitative play, as neither is really what the ICs are for. They're there to help the newbies, in addition to playing with them, so a combination of all three is probably the best way of deciding.Thestatusquo wrote:A relevant question would then become "is the IC award for qualitative play or for quantitative play"

IMO, it should not necessarily be awarded for performance in one particular game, like many of the other awards, although particular games can be used to demonstrate why they deserve the nomination.hasdgfas wrote:

bad idea, it tells people to join lots of games as IC which will lower their quality of playFarkshinsoup wrote:It could be a straight quantity award. At the end of the year just tally up who signed up for the most games, and rename it "Most Prolific IC". No nominations, and maybe it will have the side effect of motivating IC's to play in even more newbie games to win the award.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
