(reserved for updating)
Best Town Performance (Individual) Rhand, Star Trek Mafia
Strong performance, and caught I believe all the scum at some point, only losing on the last day.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) Proph, The 2015 Invitational
Very balanced game, and an amazing performance by all members, but Proph in particular did a great job of staying out of range after day 1.
BestTown Performance (Group) Xkcd Mafia
All of the vanillas did an amazing job of staying relevant and helping speed the process of PoE out.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) True Name Mafia
Did a great job of staying under the radar and dodging most of the town for the entire game.
Worst Town Performance (Group)
I can't make a call.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) Battle of the Amyrlin Seat
Iso aside, as the only fight I saw, this game was a raw example of what happens when a team doesn't actively participate in the thread.
Best Town Player Sir Chris
A strong player that either draws a night kill, or makes the mafia team suffer hard.
Best Mafia Player Wheat Grinder
I think I have seen at least 2-3 games where I have been super impressed with his style.
Most Entertaining Player
You all amuse me on several levels.
Most Improved Player Rhand
He was already a great player prior to this year, and the game(s) I have seen him, I have been super impressed with his progress.

Best Town Performance (Individual) - Sir Chris in Predator Mafia
As Taredas put it, "...SC is playing out of his mind. Personal bias might be involved there, since Sir Chris is reminding me of some of my best town games; he's *wrong* more than you are, I think, but he's doing everything else right. Also, SC has the town leader chair instead of you... which reminds me of Redux Mirror again, heh, and you *are* good at stepping back and letting another player you trust take town leader, then helping them out."
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Askthepizzaguy in Final Fantasy Mafia II
Probably the best scum performance I have ever seen. Askthepizzaguy managed to get through a endless slog of a game, motivate townies, lead the town, and generally controlled the pace of the game... as scum. Even though he was a very good player (and I kept that in mind), interaction analysis led me down the wrong path in that game. It's completely amazing how he managed to fake the level of enthusiasm and had massive wall posts strewn out when the rest of the game was tired out.
Best SK Performance (Individual) - None
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Jobie in Predator Mafia
Basically claimed, daykilled, and said "town don't lynch me, mafia don't kill me". As the only (Non-SK Neutral) who won this year, I absolutely think he should have this award.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Predator Mafia
Every time I read this game I thought "man too many good players are replacing in". Sir Chris, Voxxicus, DCIII, Gentleman Johnny, Rhand, etc all basically trusted each other and tore through the scumteam with the close exception of Wildfire, but they got him in the end.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Final Fantasy Mafia II
Mostly it was "Pizza pulling through" but I was surprised at how well this game's scumteam performed. KoolKoal completely snowed me, KamikazeArchon did a good job of breaking out of his meta, vezok posted a lot, Megiddo did a good job of outleveling me, and Wheat also fooled Iso and I. Amazing performance, since FF had very good townies present and this group of mid-tier scum players + Pizza did an excellent job.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Gatecrash Mafia
Selected quotes:
Quote from Rhand »
even if we win we should nominate ourselves for worst town 2015
Quote from Prophylaxis »
It's like the town and scum are in a competition to see who can derp the hardest.
Quote from KoolKoal »
Yes, terrible town. Can't even be bothered to reread the person they plan to lynch.
Quote from ZDS »
Dear town: Thank you. Even if you fail to let the mafia win against such unthinkable odds, the great lengths at which you have gone to be terrible will be fondly remembered.
Sincerely,
— Your opponents
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Predator Mafia
ika/Tordeck/Rhand all got summarily slaughtered. The only hope for this team was Wildfire who was PoE'd out.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Gentleman Johnny in Star Trek
That claim single handedly won the game for the scum. GJ worked through a tag team of Rhand and DCIII to win the game for the scum. Great performance.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Seppel in True Name Mafia
xkcd, Animal, The Wall, Bravely Default, Final Fantasy II, Predator, Vanillaville...
Best Mafia Player - Sir Chris
Avant Garde, the Invitational..
Best Overall Player - Sir Chris
..all contribute as to why I think Sir Chris is the best overall player this year. He's never gotten lynched and has won basically all of the games he's played, except for a couple of town games where he was a bit off kilter. It's been a truly excellent year for him.
Best Newcomer - tomsloger
He's active, posts a ton, and thinks critically about the game. What more can be said?
Most Entertaining Player - Cyan
I was laughing every time I was reading his posts in the Invitational. Honorable mention goes to ZDS, for making very funny spectator chat comments.
Most Improved Player - Vaimes
I was impressed by Vaimes's growth as a player from the games I've played with him and I hope he gets stronger in the future.
Most Creative - Final Fantasy Mafia II
Even though I hated the game design, there's no denying that this was the game that its creators spent the most time on. The class and leveling system was extremely intricate, and the creativity for this game eclipses others this year by leaps and bounds.
Best Flavor - Gatecrash
Just joking, poking at Megiddo since the game contained no flavor at all. Instead, this award goes to The Wall from DCIII since it continued his excellent Game of Thrones style flavoring and was immensely entertaining to read.
Most Interesting Role - Obzedat
I do like where Megiddo's heart was with this role, even though I think there was a mistake or two in the execution. A player from the spectator chat that provided a way for dead players to have an influence on the game, as well as the Orzhov flips, was tied in an elegant package. Even though it was kind of tough since the chat basically acted as a glass wall, I do think this role was very unique.
Best Read - Predator
Voxxicus + Sir Chris's posts were immensely entertaining to read, and seeing such all star players work together and roast a scumteam makes for some very instructive reading.

Best Mafia Performance (Individual) Sir Chris, Invitational 2015

Best Town Performance (Group) - Deathspeaker Mafia - Town won with only a single mislynch margin of error in the setup.
Best Mafia Performance (Group)
Worst Town Performance (Group) - 2015 Mafia Invitational - From top to bottom, the town's play fell apart, ranging from emotional tilt, to poor use of abilities, to ruling out players without good reason, to lurking and lack of effort, using flawed analysis techniques...basically anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.

When reviewing a game to see which ones are deserving of nominations, is it better to see who the scum teams were and judge based on that information or is it better to read the games blind and allow yourself to be blindsided?
When reviewing a game to see which ones are deserving of nominations, is it better to see who the scum teams were and judge based on that information or is it better to read the games blind and allow yourself to be blindsided?
Ultimately, I think it's up to you. If you know who the scum were from the start, though, that makes it easier to judge the play, IMO.

Best Town Performance (Individual) - Iso in XKCD Mafia
The main reason why I will sheep Iso blindly, as long as I am not feeling him for scum. Electron Cloud 4EVA.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Askthepizzaguy in Final Fantasy Mafia II
the amount of sheer effort this man put into this game is amazing. Once he overcame his desire to run away, he kicked it into high gear.
Best SK Performance (Individual) – Huntizilla in Full Deck Mafia
not ashamed to vote for myself, I put much effort into playing that game, and if for some reason I hadn’t just blindly believed Seppel, things could have gone differently in the end.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Jobie in Predator Mafia
He won, so he deserves this nod. Never that easy to win.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Animal Mafia
Another one of my favorite games, the town went through the scum team pretty quickly.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) – Avant-Garde
The duo of Sir Chris and Jobie was unstoppable this game.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Gatecrash Mafia
as Proph quoted, we talked about it at the time, and we were doing pretty terrible. We did end up winning but it was PoE and luck that got us there
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) – Battle of Amyrlin Seat
Iso tried, but to no avail. Necarg and Stormblind did not help his cause very much.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) – Huntzilla in Full Deck Mafia
Again, the amount of effort I put into this game was summed up in my claim. I had most players off my back because of my claim and the pure towniness of it
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Seppel in True Name Mafia
Lol was there another?
Best Town Player - Sir Chris
I still feel like I prefer the “old Chris” from XKCD, but he is a force to be reckoned with as town.
Best Mafia Player - Cyan
I’m giving Cyan this nod, as he is great at refuting arguments against him. He has had some bad luck with team mates and PoE and the RNG does hate him, as he rolled scum so often towards the end of ’14 into ’15 that it became a little sad for him. I think it’s half the reason he has been so rusty as town as of late.
Best Overall Player - Sir Chris
He plays a ton of games, he is great at changing his style enough to be believable as either alignment at any time, and he’s Sir Chris. He should change his name to “Feared by All”
Best Newcomer - Huntzilla
Again, not shy about putting my name into the hat. I started Mafia at the beginning of this year on this site, and have had moderate success. I will say I started off stronger than I have been lately, but overall I am proud of my first year of playing this enjoyable game.
Most Entertaining Player - Seppel
I just freaking love reading Seppel.
Most Improved Player - Bur
Bur rocks as a player. He has really grown into a very analytical thinker and often his rereads are so spot on, it’s scary.
Most Creative - Final Fantasy Mafia II (Seppel)
The sheer amount of time Seppel must have put into get this game remotely close to fair boggles my mind. He deserves this win by far.
Best Flavor – Predator (Iso)
I did laugh my ass off every time a flavor scene went up. Plus, Iji counts, and that was the first game I ever read, which mesmerized me at the time.
Most Interesting Role - Garland (Seppel)
Similar to why FFII was the winner for most creative, so to should Garland win this category. The amount of time to balance said role in the game, along with its interplay within the game; just awesome.
Best Read - Predator
I was actually sad to die in this game, as I was having a good time. Along with the flavor, definitely one of the best reads of the year.

Most Interesting Role: Does the Amirlyn Seat count? Otherwise the SK from Full Deck Mafia.

I'll be submitting my nominations when I have a few moments to think hard on them, but for now some Chris lore:
A friend of mine who played with me on GameFAQs by the name of Master Plum (I don't know if he had the same name here, I could check and actually now I will because it will bother me otherwsie... yeah masterplum) was signed up for Castlevania mafia and it was slow being filled. So he was like 'hey this site is cool, slow paced but I think you might like it' and I on a whim was like 'sounds like an adventure, let's do it!" and then after playing Castlevania I found I liked the play going on here and I was more and more dissatisfied with the level of play in my home community. I started out playing games on both here and there, cycling here when the 48 hour days over there were over until I just couldn't stand playing there anymore. So yeah if you wish to blame someone for me being here it would be "masterplum" who I think played at most one more game here before his life got too busy for mafia regularly.
Really glad fate brought us together though, it has been a joy playing with such skilled, professional, and great people this past year and a half.

I said as much at the time but I wish desperately to have this game back so I could match wits with Pizza properly instead of being demotivated at the time due to the game's setup completely killing my usual style of play. Pizza played sublimely and not only that he did so without hubris and with the utmost kindness to his fellow players after the game. Not only was the game itself, managing to post with intensity and fervor in a game mired in the muck and a staggering number of posts, but he proved himself to be a class act after the game as well and that means a lot to me as someone who values community. I want him to play more so we can have our awaited rematch.
HM: Jobie in Avant Garde, Proph in the Invitational
Jobie and Proph both played brilliantly in their respective scum games, masterfully puzzling the town with intrigue and insight that dashed all hopes of town winning. It really took an absurd game from Pizza in FF2 to push these two amazing games out of the top spot, great job to the both of you!

Voxx, Nacho, TS (RIP), Johnny early on, DCIII to some extent did a really amazing job of bringing the game together with good activity and accurate reads. It was a fun game to be a part of and the scum had their work cut out for them from the get.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Mafia Invitational
You know Proph has gotten a lot of love for this performance, and rightly so, but I am going to take a moment to appreciate Wheat. It would be easy to say "Oh yeah Proph made it to end game he was great!" and Wheat was lynched but man it is not an easy task in a game with such great players to not give away your buddies after you die, and Wheat's interactions made sure to accomplish just that. He may have fallen in battle but that doesn't mean he wasn't a big part of why we won the game, and I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate that about this performance.

This guy is, like, really good. I enjoyed him immensely in Predator to the point that I thought he could have been good enough to initially fool me as scum. He is clever, active, and he gives 110% full tilt and I really love that. He can be a little rough at times, and he isn't always accurate, but I love the high motor this guy possesses and while there are others who did well this year when I thought of best newcomer there was no one that could be placed above TS here. The dude is legit as hell and I can't wait to play in more games with him in the future! I have actually been really surprised he wasn't nominated by anyone else, but eh what can you do.

Now is a great time to announce I am taking a couple of games off (so let's call it a month) to recoup from a very trying end of year for me mentally. Need to recharge the ole mafia batteries a bit.
I appreciate the great amount of respect that has been afforded me in my relatively short time here and am a bit awed so many think so highly of me. No way do I repeat my level of success in 2016, but here's hoping I've got a lot of great mafia left ahead of me.
... I just realized all told I won 6 awards. Good lord <_<. I love you all.

Sir Chris and I recently scummed together for the first time on MafiaUniverse and it was an opportunity for him to tell me about this awards thread. I would have responded sooner but I didn't want to link us together while the game was ongoing.
In any case, I really appreciate the nomination and the votes for best individual scum performance, and wish all the best to the other winners, nominees, participants and hosts.
Been watching for sign-ups here but I seem to either miss them completely or the setup for the game isn't vanilla enough for me. Also, joining these games is quite a commitment. Still, I have fond memories of a lot of you folks and would consider playing here again if the game and lineup is right.
Either way, I hope you play again here! You were a shining light in that game, and even though you were scum, I personally took a lot from your scum performance and incorporated it into my own game, so Final Fantasy II was a huge learning experience for me.

Best Town Performance (Individual)
Rhand, Star Trek Mafia
Strong performance, and caught I believe all the scum at some point, only losing on the last day.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual)
Proph, The 2015 Invitational
Very balanced game, and an amazing performance by all members, but Proph in particular did a great job of staying out of range after day 1.
BestTown Performance (Group)
Xkcd Mafia
All of the vanillas did an amazing job of staying relevant and helping speed the process of PoE out.
Best Mafia Performance (Group)
True Name Mafia
Did a great job of staying under the radar and dodging most of the town for the entire game.
Worst Town Performance (Group)
I can't make a call.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group)
Battle of the Amyrlin Seat
Iso aside, as the only fight I saw, this game was a raw example of what happens when a team doesn't actively participate in the thread.
Best Town Player
Sir Chris
A strong player that either draws a night kill, or makes the mafia team suffer hard.
Best Mafia Player
Wheat Grinder
I think I have seen at least 2-3 games where I have been super impressed with his style.
Most Entertaining Player
You all amuse me on several levels.
Most Improved Player
Rhand
He was already a great player prior to this year, and the game(s) I have seen him, I have been super impressed with his progress.

Ultimately, I think it's up to you. If you know who the scum were from the start, though, that makes it easier to judge the play, IMO.

The main reason why I will sheep Iso blindly, as long as I am not feeling him for scum. Electron Cloud 4EVA.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Askthepizzaguy in Final Fantasy Mafia II
the amount of sheer effort this man put into this game is amazing. Once he overcame his desire to run away, he kicked it into high gear.
Best SK Performance (Individual) – Huntizilla in Full Deck Mafia
not ashamed to vote for myself, I put much effort into playing that game, and if for some reason I hadn’t just blindly believed Seppel, things could have gone differently in the end.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Jobie in Predator Mafia
He won, so he deserves this nod. Never that easy to win.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Animal Mafia
Another one of my favorite games, the town went through the scum team pretty quickly.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) – Avant-Garde
The duo of Sir Chris and Jobie was unstoppable this game.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Gatecrash Mafia
as Proph quoted, we talked about it at the time, and we were doing pretty terrible. We did end up winning but it was PoE and luck that got us there
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) – Battle of Amyrlin Seat
Iso tried, but to no avail. Necarg and Stormblind did not help his cause very much.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) – Huntzilla in Full Deck Mafia
Again, the amount of effort I put into this game was summed up in my claim. I had most players off my back because of my claim and the pure towniness of it
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Seppel in True Name Mafia
Lol was there another?
Best Town Player - Sir Chris
I still feel like I prefer the “old Chris” from XKCD, but he is a force to be reckoned with as town.
Best Mafia Player - Cyan
I’m giving Cyan this nod, as he is great at refuting arguments against him. He has had some bad luck with team mates and PoE and the RNG does hate him, as he rolled scum so often towards the end of ’14 into ’15 that it became a little sad for him. I think it’s half the reason he has been so rusty as town as of late.
Best Overall Player - Sir Chris
He plays a ton of games, he is great at changing his style enough to be believable as either alignment at any time, and he’s Sir Chris. He should change his name to “Feared by All”
Best Newcomer - Huntzilla
Again, not shy about putting my name into the hat. I started Mafia at the beginning of this year on this site, and have had moderate success. I will say I started off stronger than I have been lately, but overall I am proud of my first year of playing this enjoyable game.
Most Entertaining Player - Seppel
I just freaking love reading Seppel.
Most Improved Player - Bur
Bur rocks as a player. He has really grown into a very analytical thinker and often his rereads are so spot on, it’s scary.
Most Creative - Final Fantasy Mafia II (Seppel)
The sheer amount of time Seppel must have put into get this game remotely close to fair boggles my mind. He deserves this win by far.
Best Flavor – Predator (Iso)
I did laugh my ass off every time a flavor scene went up. Plus, Iji counts, and that was the first game I ever read, which mesmerized me at the time.
Most Interesting Role - Garland (Seppel)
Similar to why FFII was the winner for most creative, so to should Garland win this category. The amount of time to balance said role in the game, along with its interplay within the game; just awesome.
Best Read - Predator
I was actually sad to die in this game, as I was having a good time. Along with the flavor, definitely one of the best reads of the year.
Player Awards:
Best Town Performance (Individual) - Sir Chris - Predator
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Askthepizzaguy - FFII
Best SK Performance (Individual) - Huntzilla - Full Deck
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Jobie - Predator
Best Town Performance (Group) - Predator
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - The Wall - KCC and Cyan were inspired in an incredibly claustrophobic situation
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Invitational (P.S. a winning team should never win this award unless the losing team also won this award, IMO)
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Gatecrash - A good example of how undue paranoia and self-consciousness/in-fighting can hurt a scum team.

Mod Awards:
Most Creative: Final Fantasy II Mafia (Seppel). The design of this game was amazing. The one problem was that game Days took too long with the attack system.
Best Flavor: It's a toss up between Vagrant Story and The Wall. Not sure which one to pick. I'll decide later.
Most Interesting Role: Does the Amirlyn Seat count? Otherwise the SK from Full Deck Mafia.

A friend of mine who played with me on GameFAQs by the name of Master Plum (I don't know if he had the same name here, I could check and actually now I will because it will bother me otherwsie... yeah masterplum) was signed up for Castlevania mafia and it was slow being filled. So he was like 'hey this site is cool, slow paced but I think you might like it' and I on a whim was like 'sounds like an adventure, let's do it!" and then after playing Castlevania I found I liked the play going on here and I was more and more dissatisfied with the level of play in my home community. I started out playing games on both here and there, cycling here when the 48 hour days over there were over until I just couldn't stand playing there anymore. So yeah if you wish to blame someone for me being here it would be "masterplum" who I think played at most one more game here before his life got too busy for mafia regularly.
Really glad fate brought us together though, it has been a joy playing with such skilled, professional, and great people this past year and a half.

What a scum team to behold.
Either way, I hope you play again here! You were a shining light in that game, and even though you were scum, I personally took a lot from your scum performance and incorporated it into my own game, so Final Fantasy II was a huge learning experience for me.
