Like ooba, I was in both games and Fourth/Third (or w/e they're at) both games. They were each awesome fun. I actually think the cult recruiter and scum had fun admitting to their guilt when caught in Darkstalkers

Fifth both. Amazing game.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I'd like to nominate

rajrhcpfreak

for both

Best Setup

and

Most Enjoyable Game (Large [Free Market/Normal])

for the game The War to End All Freaktowns.

Although there were some glitches during the game because of the number of replacements, the amazing scope of this game should celebrated. More games should be as ambitious as this one.

Seconded. This game was truly amazing, and I enjoyed it a lot, even though I only got to play in 2 days of the game (got killed right after Day 1, replaced back in on like Day 6, got double-killed right after that...>_<).

[Kinetic]

You still got to add it to the win column MOS .

I would 6th this, but DR's Mafia 69 game was better..DR should be given mad props for his time and energy that he has put into both his games...this is why I pre-in on all games modded by DR.

I nominate Oman for best SK for ATIP

viewtopic.php?t=8351

Before the rule about no king claims. He stated that farside with the king and unvoted. Only the guards would have known that. Fact was he was the assisgn who guessed right and won the game. Congrats

[SensFan]

Nothing against Oman, but it looks to me like he won that game mostly due to a lucky guess on page 1. With all due respect, I

oppose

the nomination.

[dahill1]

i wouldn't go as far as to oppose it, but i have to agree with SensFan. i think that it is highly likely that he would've been lynched if not for that post

[Oman]

the nomination.

I wasn't a guard, so I don't know their though processes.

I'd say you read the full game if you haven't, where I had escaped being lynched at least once, and set up several lynches on others.

Really, this shits me, because I worked hard for that game, and now you're saying I won because I made one guess?

[The Jester]

You made a guess who the king was, every other guard knows that you guessed right. Not knowing who the assassin is, it felt very safe to assume that you were a confirmed guard and that was why you said it.

So yes, you did win because you won your guess. The reason no one would lynch you was for said guess. So working hard was not really needed is what I believe it comes down to.

[Erg0]

Lucky or not, it was a ballsy move. I don't see the logic in refusing to reward a player who takes a big risk that ends up paying off. If it's not good enough to win the award then that will be borne out by the judges' decision.

I would not be so arrogant as to make a statement such as that one without reading the entire thread.

Unfortunately, the rule about speculation only came in after you 'confirmed' yourself, and even then you got away with some speculation that more-or-less got Korlas modkilled. Heck, postgame, both other people in the final three said they pretty much overlooked all of the scummy things you did, because of that guess.

Now that I think about it, I think this situation is actually fairly similar to Martyr Mafia, in which I suicide-vigged N0, knowing that if I hit Town I would lose. Yes, it happened to pay off, but I don't consider it a brilliant move by any stretch of the imagination.

[Mr. Flay]

It's not the

Hardest Working SK

Scummy. It's not the

SK with the Best Thought Processes

Scummy. It's

Best SK

- and gambling page 1 and having it pay off big, even in a swingy setup like AITP, deserves credit where it's due. If the moderator had rolled a d20 and given Oman the name of a King if it came up 1, that'd be different...

I'll second Oman's nomination.

- there, now the judges can deal with it.

Good to know, my good man.

Well, thats their fault

I had the same thought when I saw your title, I trully had Fortuna Ex Deus in this situation. Although, I did do a lot of other work.

I managed to get the town to quicklynch, then stop quicklynching and give information, and then quicklynch again.

It's not the Hardest Working SK Scummy. It's not the SK with the Best Thought Processes Scummy. It's Best SK - and gambling page 1 and having it pay off big, even in a swingy setup like AITP, deserves credit where it's due.

This is a good point, that I hadn't thought of. It probably won't compare to some of the SK work we'll see in the future in terms of planning, work, and brilliance, but in terms of effectivness,

its really grade A

it got the job done.

[PokerFace]

but in terms of effectivness, its really grade A

Stop bragging. Be humble and say no more. You are starting to come off as a self nom. Let the judges handle it from here.

Edit: Also why does it say I supported Farside's self nom a few pages back? I said I would accept the nomination and never said I was supporting it or self noming myself. I think someone took what I said a little out of context.

[Oman]

Whoa, I'm not bragging. I see how you might have interpreted it as such.
Sorry about that, I'd edit it if I could think of something to edit it too.

[PokerFace]

Its cool Oman, I suppose I understand you didn't mean to come off like that. Looking back at something I posted in january I guess I can see how it was taken in the context of me seconding a self nom. I should have worded that a little bit better.

And don't get me wrong Oman. I still think you did a pretty good job.
:shakes hand:

[Claus]

I know it is a self nomination, but I'll throw this in for consideration. If people don't like it, just don't second/third/whatever it.

Nominate the Town of

DarkStalkers Mafia

for

Best Town Performance.

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7687

Town did absolutely everything right in that game.
- Day 1 the SK was lynched on a small slip he did when the SK cop claimed.
- Night 1, the JOAT managed to block the vig miskill which prevented the vig from becoming a second SK.
- Day 2, the two jailkeepers were forced to claim. The town entered a counter claim situation, but managed to leave it without lynching either of the two (which would be disastrous, for the lynched one would flip jailkeeper and the other one would promptly be lynched/vigged next). A mafioso was lynched.
- Night 2, the JOAT correctly investigated the second mafia.
- Day 3, discussion led the town to narrow the number of possible cult leaders to a small set. The survivor was lynched, but he was not a pro-town role anyway.
- Night 3, the jailkeeper correctly guessed and blocked the cult leader.
- Day 4, the cult leader was caught in a lie and lynched. The last remaining mafia was quickly lynched Day 5.

This is just an overview, the game is chock full with good discussion among the townies, and in the end no townie was lynched.

I agree with Flay. That is why I nominated Oman. It was ballsy and as SK's go it was a good job by guessing correctly. If I had paid attention a bit more and let go of his guess I would have lynched him and still said Best SK for making everyone second guess him for awhile.

Second

I learned a lot just reading the game.

[curiouskarmadog]

Claus, Day 2 the town had nothing to do with mafia being lynched.

at any rate, the town did play well, though I feel it was mostly luck due to the CL and the a mafia member bumping heads.

[JDodge]

The point anyone opposing Oman's nomination should raise (and I'm surprised no one hasn't) is that AITP in and of itself is a crapshoot anyways - it takes one mistake by town (which happened) to hand the game to the scum. Was it Oman's work that did this (note that he himself even agrees that the town basically overlooked his scumminess) or was it the setup combined with the ineffectiveness and lack of ability in the town?

[Shanba]

If I join 12 12p bad idea mafias, and instakill in all of them day 1, and happen to hit the godfather in one of them, does that mean I should be nominated for best dayvig?

[ooba]

Its been seconded so its up to the judges to decide about it is worthy of an award or not - don't see why we have to have this discussion ..
