Except for best in game moment, which is a close one between eHunt kickball and something that can't be discussed yet.

Post by: Captain_Frisk on November 08, 2012, 11:55:53 am
Additional categories:

Worst made up role claim
Worst Role


Most of the other "razzies" would be offensive.

Best Third-Party Player (SK, Cult Variant, etc.)
Best Bastard Game
Best Set of Night Actions
Most Effective Use of a Vanilla Role
"Best" Scumslip

(that last one is a razzie but is offered more for mutual hilarity purposes than to be offensive)

Also, "Best Set of Night Actions" means something like, "most ironic set of dueling actions on Night X in Game Y."  Example:  the first no-kill night in M-IV.

CF wins in a landslide for best scumslip.

Well, yes, that was the one I had in mind but surely there are SOME competing slips in our collective history  ;D

I think MVI's Mafia Roleblocker eHalcyon (whose power fails against Werewolves) roleblocking Werewolf Jack-of-All-Trades Robz, who investigates eHalcyon, and dooms them both upon the reveal, is a contender there.

Well, but wouldn't help if in the categories of "events", people had reminders to choose from when casting their votes?

Edit: Nevermind. I missed a step in your process.

Im trying to condense a few here otherwise we'll have hundreds of spamming posts (And we'd need yet another seperate forum!)

Planning to have the cats done in a week or so.

All nominations in by end of November, and then actual voting in December with the results announced at the end of the year

It would, but I think its a bit uneeded, we got hundreds already.

plus I would rather it didnt bias peoples thinking when it comes to nominations!

Most Bastardly role in a setup has a lot of good contenders:

The seer in a game with no werewolves, even-night doctor/ odd-night SK, a cult called the Serial Killers, etc.

are the awards like Best Mafia, Best Townie etc supposed to be for an individual performance in a single game, or for a player's overall performance across possibly multiple games?

Not really, I want to keep that for the voting stage really.

I dont want the voting stage to be a foregone conclusion.

Not yet. And when we do, they are privately sent to Ozle who will compile them and place the top X number in a poll for that category. At that point we'll all vote.

Flattered! I think there was also some good doctoring or something by PPS in the second game I played, modded by O? But I wasn't paying as much attention by the end there.
