I am now taking nominations for all categories listed below.
Please note, I've decided to significantly lessen the number of awards we give out this year, but hope to add in more discussion. See post 2 for what I mean.
Mafia Game of the YearPlayers, mods, and spectators should nominate the
most memorable game from 2015, based on the player/spectator experience. This award highlights and recognizes the overall best game held during 2015, and includes all aspects of a mafia game on f.ds. When someone asks, "hey, what game should I reread to know if I should start playing mafia at f.ds?," this should be the first game that comes to mind.
Mafia Setup of the YearPlayers, mods, and spectators should nominate the
most impressive original setup introduced in 2015 based on the player/spectator experience. This award highlights and recognizes setup creation by a mod, and focuses on all the important aspects of a good game of mafia: including balance, roles, and thematic interactions.
Flavor of the YearWe all know that writing flavor can be a hard and grueling task. This award recognizes those mod specifically who put the time in to choose, implement, and write flavor that improves the game experience, while not disadvantaging players who don't know the flavor. Players, mods, and spectators should nominate the
most spectacular flavor used in a game in 2015.
Town Player of the YearPlayers, mods, and spectators should nominate the
one player that they would rank as the absolute best when given the town alignment in 2015. This award highlights and recognizes a player that best embodies the virtues of good, and includes characteristics such as strong scumhunting, the ability to convince fellow players of good ideas, plans, setup theory; and appropriate and impactful use of night actions.
Scum Player of the YearPlayers, mods, and spectators should nominate the
one player that they would rank as the absolute best when given an anti-town alignment in 2015. This award highlights and recognizes a player that best embodies the virtues of (in-game) evil, and includes characteristics such as an uncanny ability to fool everyone else, extraordinary skill at exploiting any extra information received as scum, phenomenal fake claims, and impactful use of night actions.
Newbie of the YearPlayers, mods, and spectators should nominate the
one player who debuted in 2015 that rises above the rest, regardless of alignment. This award highlights and recognizes a new player's ability to quickly and accurately learn metas, rules, setups, and make an immediate positive impact on f.ds's mafia world.
Mod of the YearPlayers, mods, and spectators should nominate the
absolute best mod of 2015, based on their performance at all aspects of running a game. This award highlights and recognizes a mod's attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to the game and f.ds. Specifically, this should include setup creation and explanation, flavor writing, and accuracy in vote counts and rulings, and availability to the players.
