Xtoxm, nominated by DrippingGoofBall, seconded by Oman.

I will third this.

Xtoxm's overall play has gotten better than it was when I first started playing with him. He still makes mistakes (Everyone does) But I have seen a vast amount of improvement overall and so I will gladly third this. I am actually looking forward to the next game I play with him not just because I think it will be fun, but also because I think it might be challenging should we be in oposing factions.

Nominate Quagmire for most improved player

He had significantly cut down on what others would call "disruptive elements" in his playstyle, and was generally taking the game more seriously and kicking ass and taking names.

Nominate Knights of Cydonia for this award for failing to realise these awards are for people doing well and not to berate them or advocate crap play

Which has absolutely nothing to do with his play so far this year. Try again, please.

Is 4 a bad number or something?

Just remembered, this part of Mind Screw needed a nom all of its own:

Nominate:

Tarhalindur

Award:

Best Role

Role:

Haruhi Suzumiya (Townie Dreaming God).

Seriously, that was such a great game.

Personally i disagree. Last year Xtoxm was my candidate for Best Newbie. Ever since i've seen him playing on the site he has held 2 characteristics:

Awesome as town.
Abysmal as scum.

As far as i can see, those pretty much summed him up when he first got here. I'd nominate him for Best Overall Protown Player, but not really Most Improved.

Aww, thnx guys!!

And BM - Yes, I do suck as scum, but i'm getting better! I've just cashed in 2 scum wins

Xtoxm · Post Post #423 (ISO) » Mon Sep 01, 2008 5:19 am

Are you guys up for anything so I can return the favour?

Tarhalindur · Post Post #424 (ISO) » Mon Sep 01, 2008 7:23 am

Nominate:

The Town of Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Award:

Best Performance By A Team

Game:

Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Seriously, my scum team got OWNED due to the quality of play from the town. We would have gone down in flames a lot earlier than we did if the town hadn't bought my gambit and ignored Elmo for so long.

Speaking of that game...

Nominate:

OhGodMyLife

Award:

Best Flavor Text

Game:

Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Here there be some of the best flavor text I've seen in a Mini Normal in some time.

Best performance in a losing Cause

Game:

Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Although he was the first one to die from the scum team, his gambit and play throughout the first two days managed to confuse the town enough to almost pull off the win for the scum. He managed to connect himself to me enough that the town lynched me(that also had to do with my sucky play, but my point still stands). He also caused the town to completely ignore Elmo until the last day. Also a couple other things that I can't think of at the moment, but as soon as I died, I was like "wow, Tar played perfectly except for dying"

eldarad · Post Post #426 (ISO) » Mon Sep 01, 2008 8:38 am

I

second Tar

for Best Performance in a Losing Cause

Elmo · Post Post #427 (ISO) » Mon Sep 01, 2008 8:44 am

If there's some kind of "best single play" award, PokerFace should definitely be up for it for that gambit, imo. I was like... okay, now I have to explain why a scumbag was absolutely fine committing to a plan that autowins for the town, lol.

PokerFace · Post Post #428 (ISO) » Mon Sep 01, 2008 1:26 pm

If you want to nominate me for something relating to that claim, you can go right ahead.

But I feel part of the praise I am getting for it is a little undeserving. I originally planned to get elderad or the slightly possible incog scum lynched. Then I was like wait a minute... niether one is acting like scum now. They both agree to a gauranteed town win? WTF?! Who's scum then? What the hell is going on here?! And I didn't figure that part out until I was dead. Luckily the rest of the town figure it out later.

I didn't plan the result I got. Kinda fell into it. Abandoning the gambit when I did was right play. Following through with it would have given me a dunce cap. The entire thing looked like a huge screw up to me until things were over. Like I was on some massive drug trip or having a drunken haze ("It sounded like a completly good idea at the time officer") and then I woke up hung over with a 40 million dollar winning lottery ticket in my pocket. How did that get there?

Second!

I really liked the flavor and i felt the PM Patrick got with his death was rather interesting.
