There should be "stupidest thing done".  Like voting when you're a hammerer and a guilty cop result on you was just revealed.
Or like faking a town result on someone.

heh
.
At least I haven't done anything stupid, like claiming healer and getting the roleblocked killed. Naw...

Reading this thread makes it seem like the town has gone absolutely nuts since I last played...

maybe have a separate thread for that. And probably have galzria or ehalc or tables or someone else run that, ash doesn't play much of the non-mafia games.

I would be up for it, if people suggest categories to get it started, I suppose.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Town's actually been doing well lately, right?  2 wins in a row in normal games, wins in 2 of the last 3 RMM games, wins in the last 3 blitz games...  Probably should be 3 in a row for normal games, too!

It was just a month ago we were hearing, "Woe is town!" but they haven't done half bad lately.

Maybe best third-party performance?
there aren't so many entries in this category, I think.

also, a list of players who qualify as 'new' would be good.  I'm not entirely certain who's been around for how long at this point.  I'm old and my brain be addled.

I think it's just all the times someone had been in one of their first games.  Even though I've been around for a somewhat while, MXXI could still have me be in the "new" category because that was my first game.

That's right.  I'll be combing through all games to compile eligible nominees for each category that needs them.

I might suggest "most improved." This would obviously be a category only for players who were around last year and have improved their game play from ok to great or from great to awesome!

this is actually quite the process... I just attempted to do so and it wasn't an easy feat, I had to give up. I went through my spreadsheets and added dates to completed games, but mostly I think we just need to hand select the "best" candidates for the award rather than listing every new player in each game...

Although some are a bit hazy... such as does Jorbles qualify as a newbie in MXXII? It was only his second game, but he has been around since MX and hosted MIX...

Okay, I've updated the categories based on input from you all.  I think I'm set with what's there and won't be going any bigger -- it's a lot of work as it is.

I added a third category for games so I can include a few suggestions.  (Also in the OP)

Game-based Categories:

Best "Normal" Game
Best "Non-Normal/Non-BM" Game
Best "Bastard/Drunk" Game
Best In-Game Moment


Player-based Categories:

Best Town Performance in a Single Game
Best Scum Performance in a Single Game
Best Townie
Best Scum
Best Newbie Performance
Player of the Year


Mod-based Categories:

Best Original Set-Up
Best Original Role
Best Flavor
Mod of the Year

I added Original Set-Up and Original Role.  I think best 3rd party is covered by scum and best use of role is covered until best performance in a game.  Most improved is too hard to calculate (you'd have to check how they played in last year's eligible games, then compare to this year, etc.).

I'll post a nomination process eventually, and will have further information on timing and voting.

My one request is that the nominating process not be super timing consuming if possible. I like to nominate lots of stuff.

Best in-game moment -- the point in that BM game I did (I already forget the number, I am terrible) where people switched over to claiming Werewolf.  That was a hilarious day.

I apologize again for the minor mod blunders at the end. :P

I cannot explain what was going through my head when I was like "okay, I think I'm just gonna say it, I don't know why, but I feel like I'm not mafia..." Also having a claimed lover die and instead of killing me getting replaced by another lover made my lover claim really really weak. Then all the ww claims and I was like yes!

I would like to see a best use of role category, I think it is a lot different than best performance, I mean some using a crappy role to a really good effect might still not be as amazing of a performance as someone who just really really changed the tide of a game.
