2015 f.ds Mafia Game Awards -- Nominations
« on: December 07, 2015, 08:07:15 am »
+10

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 Year
Players, 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 Year
Players, 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 Year
We 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 Year
Players, 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 Year
Players, 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 Year
Players, 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 Year
Players, 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.

I'd like to leave this thread open for us all to reminisce and discuss old games and performances.  I think it'd be fun and great and good.

What I'd rather not happen is for those posts to be used for stumping or vote chasing.  I doubt anyone will do that, but I'd rather we refrain from "what, that game wasn't as good!" or "you all should vote for him because X!" sorts of things.

You can see there's no [SERIOUS] in the title, so no worries there.  I'm sure we'll all be fine having fun memory discussions.

By the way, if I missed a newbie, please point it out.  I did my best to scour the games.

Defaults to the first normal game you play, unless you've never played a normal game.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

I would ask that you not attempt to get people to vote one way or another, but instead discuss great memories.

Does that make sense?

I mean, if someone expends time and energy writing here about how they deserve a specific award, I'm worried it'll just turn off a lot of great discussion.  I know some games have become that way with MVPs, for example.

true, but I'd argue that's just variance. I don't think it indicates a balance problem.

I'm glancing at games and man, day 4 of Flavorless Mafia was fun. I'm obviously biased on that one, but that was pretty exciting, and a great example of how things can go wrong really, really fast (for both alignments).

I think scum is generally favored on f.ds historically, not just this year.

ah yeah. that was the game with the failed quickhammers.

that was really fun for town, but man, scum lost the game because of internet problems... I think? might not have been so fun for them ;_;

I guess so, I know it was fun to observe/read from an outside perspective, but I tend to root for town by default, so that probably plays a role.

I like the new format. Though it's a bit sad that some categories are gone, I think fewer categories make for more submissions and more discussion, which is good. And some categories were a bit redundant.

Well since there isn't a category for best fake claim category anymore I think I will just go ahead and say that if there were I would nominate ash/gkrieg for claiming masons. it might not have fooled the speccy, but it fooled the players in the thread and that is what counted in the end.

Fixed both, and included Lost.  I left it and he out because, well, you know.

Definitely disagree. The whole thing was not thought through and was extremely high risk. It was sheer luck that it didn't backfire. Not an example I would show people and say "This is how you fakeclaim."

Well since there isn't a category for best fake claim category anymore I think I will just go ahead and say that if there were I would nominate ash/gkrieg for claiming masons. it might not have fooled the speccy, but it fooled the players in the thread and that is what counted in the end.

Definitely disagree. The whole thing was not thought through and was extremely high risk. It was sheer luck that it didn't backfire. Not an example I would show people and say "This is how you fakeclaim."

From an entertainment standpoint...best ever.
