Now that we have our own forum I think it is only fair that we start handing out hardware like all the rest. For those of you play on scum this type of thing will be famaliar to you. Mafia Awards! For bragging, for fun, just because we can.
So the rules:
You may only vote one person per award
You may vote for each award
You may not vote for yourself

And I think that covers it. So, to the awards:
The following each apply to only one game:
Best Played Neutral

Best Played Town Power Role (Doctor/Cop/Vig)
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual)
Best Played Mafia Role (Group)

Best Role Claim
Funniest Role Claim
The following apply overall:
Best Game Mod

Best Overall Player
Hope that is clear. Get voting! Votes will be added up in seven days to determine the winners although I may do 'Vote Counts' along the way.

I'm going to nominate Musashi/Ximbad for Best Mafia, strictly on the basis of hiding near the end of 8-bit (and getting me killed as a result...because I couldn't find him >.>).
Best Played Neutral- Azrael (WD1)
Best Played SK- The SK in High School Mafia (Ljustus I think, there hasn't been any really amazing SK here.....)
Best Played Town Power Role (Doctor/Cop/Vig)- Azrael (Mafia Mafia vig, not Random 2)
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual)- Puzzle (Shaman)
Best Played Mafia Role (Group)- Shaman Mafia
Best Played Town (Group)- WC3 Mafia (broke game), Mafia Mafia if I can't nominate that
Best Role Claim- Fadeblue (Doc in Battlestar)
Funniest Role Claim- Fayul for Erestor
On the overalls, I'm referencing the games where major things happened to make me vote them.
Best Host- Fadeblue (Shaman and 8-bit were both great, though I only read 8-bit)
Funniest Player- Azrael (WD2. Nuff said)
Best Town Player- Azrael (Mafia Mafia, though after Random 2.... :smile:)
Best Mafia Player- Axelrod (I have never seen him lynched as mafia, just randomly killed. Also see Random 2 Day 8...)
Best Overall Player- Puzzle
Edits in:
Best Game Design- Az. Sin City isn't even done and I'm amazed...
Worst Mafia- Dominaria Mafia. Ugg, what a disatster. 2 wasted night kills (1 out of stupidity on my part), the opposing GF claiming jack-of-all-trades to out me, mafia claiming non-rares, what a mess......
Worst Town- WD2. Day 1: Lynch the multivoter (Az on top of that). Lynch CF for having a role typed by a 9 year old. And I lynched a claimed, mostly clear, townie....
This is a great idea, but maybe it might be better to run it just a tad more along the lines of scum, or at least extend the deadline. A week doesn't seem long enough.
Best played mafia(single)- Puzzle in shamen no doubt
best played mafia (group)- I'd give this to the LOTR group(though mainly GC) Actually winning after we got them down to one was amazing.
Best town (single)- I'll come back to this one
Best Town (group)- I think I'll go with Random one for completly breaking that game open, thought there are other good ones. This might change.
Best SK- Pibbly in Kamigawa
Best Neutral- I'll come back to this one too.
Best Role claim- Puzzle in Shamen
Funniest role claim- Puzzle in 8-bit, claiming to be the SK after defending himself for something like 2 days then getting lynched, absolutely hysterical(he was townie too)
Best host(now this one confuses me is this best mod, best design or what?)- if best mod I'd go with Fade and best design I'd go with fade(first for 8-bit, second for shamen)
Funniest player- I'd say AZ had a pretty odd streak of funniness in 8-bit.
Best Town- It would be Az but nuking half the town in random 2 lowers him quite a bit, but actually he still gets my vote.
Best Mafia- PUZZLE
Best overall- hard one but I think puzzle gets it.
This is really a great idea but can I suggest a few other areas? I would say best designed role, funniest designed role, funniest mod, best night scenes and possibly add a few not so goods.(just basic stuff likie townie or mafia and not nessecarily in a derogatory way)
Best Played Neutral - Azrael in WD1
Best Played SK - HAWKEYE7 in HS
Best Played Town Power Role (Doctor/Cop/Vig) - Axelrod in Kamigawa
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual) - God Child in LotR
Best Played Mafia Role (Group) - scum from Shaman
Best Played Town (Group) - Mafia Mafia
Best Role Claim - CropCircles in Random1
Funniest Role Claim - Radagast by Rhinocero in LotR
The following apply overall:
Best Host - fadeblue
Funniest Player - Axelrod
Best Town Player - Axelrod
Best Mafia Player - Puzzle
Best Overall Player - Azrael
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
Best Played SK - Whoever did it in High School.
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual) - GodChild in Lord of the Rings Mafia. Honorable mentiion to Musashi in 8-Bit.
Funniest Role Claim - Puzzle claims SK in 8-Bit as a townie.
The following apply overall:
Best Host - Fadeblue, almost without question.
Best Mafia Player - Puzzle
Best Overall Player - Axelrod

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the wisdom to know the difference, and a ****ing chainsaw.
This is a great idea, but maybe it might be better to run it just a tad more along the lines of scum, or at least extend the deadline. A week doesn't seem long enough.
Most of our playerbase logs on at least weekly though. In addition if we are starting now I would prefer not to leave if open five months for scum. For 2006 I might be willing to start them and elave them open that long but right now...I do not know. Would two weeks please you more?
This is really a great idea but can I suggest a few other areas? I would say best designed role, funniest designed role, funniest mod, best night scenes and possibly add a few not so goods.(just basic stuff likie townie or mafia and not nessecarily in a derogatory way)
I will split host so that it reflects design and modding, as you are right that they are different. I preferred to keep them possitive but how about group plays and not people? I really prefer to not pick on people, y'know?
Also I thank armlx for bringing up Az's play in WD2, I have been reading it and it is great.
I see what you mean with the length of the poll, and I do think 2 weeks is an appropriate amount of time. Group play works great too, and I didn't want to make it sound like an insult for the bad play awards. Thanks for listening to my suggestions

I'll have to think some more about half of these categories, but here are my preliminary votes:
Best Played Neutral - Azrael (World Domination 1)
Best Played SK - LJustus (High School)
Best Played Town Power Role - I think I'll go for Azrael (Mafia Mafia)
Worst Played Town (Group) - Unfortunately, I think it has to go to the town in Shaman Mafia Several bad plays, not to mention so easily going along with Puzzle's cunning plan.
Best Role Claim - I really liked RafK's (High School). We eventually caught him, but I have to admit it was a rather clever attempt.
Funniest Role Claim - Puzzle (8-Bit). The whole Puzzle/epeeguy incident was hilarious, and even after epeeguy confessed to being scum, the town was still confused.
Best Game Design - Hvirfilvindr
Best Town Player - Azrael
Best Mafia Player - Axelrod
Best Overall Player - I wish I had 3 votes. Alas, I only have one, and I'm giving it to Puzzle (just barely, even though I didn't give him Best Town or Best Mafia).
I just got nominated for a false claim I made as a townie. CP, that just made my day.
Best Played Neutral - Puzzle, World Dom 2
Best Played SK - Swinkee, LotR Mafia
Best Played Town Power Role (Doctor/Cop/Vig) - chamber, Random 2
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual) - Puzzle, Shaman Mafia
Best Played Mafia Role (Group) - WD2
Best Played Town (Group) - Kamigawa Mafia?
Worst Played Town (Group) - 8-Bit
Worst Played Mafia (Group) - Blind 1
Best Role Claim - RafealK, HS Mafia
Funniest Role Claim - Puzzle, 8-bit
Best Game Mod - Azreal
Best Game Design - Random Mafia 1
Funniest Player - Azreal
Best Town Player - Axelrod
Best Mafia Player - Puzzle
Best Overall Player - Az-uzzle-rod? Gah...I'll have to go with Puzzle on this.
I hope I don't forget or offend anyone, but I've only been around since October, so I'm going with 4th quarter results and the few older games I siphoned through here
The following each apply to only one game:
Best Played Neutral - Azreal (WD1)
Best Played SK - Hawkeye7 (Can't remember, but where he got killed by the mafia)

Best Game Design - Dollar Mafia
Funniest Player - Bateleur
Best Town Player - CropCircles
Best Mafia Player - Puzzle
Best Overall Player - CropCircles
I can't believe anyone's nominating me in best role claim. Funniest, maybe. OK, the restriction part was good but the rest of it was SO BAD.
I haven't really been here long enough to vote on all this stuff, although I'm surprised that the Gollum-SK (swinkee, right?) in LOTR isn't getting more votes. Between him and LJustus' SK in high school I think.
The last mafia in LOTR (god_child?) also did a great job. I was pretty impressed by that game, actually. The town early, the scum late, and the set-up overall.
havent played in many games over here, read over a few, but dont remember them that well so I cant answer every question.Best played mafia role: Axelrod (random 2) Best played town (group): town in random 1 Worst played town: town in random 2, they kept missing us/ Az was the worst vig I have seen (worse than Wolg in HS) best role claim: Matjoeman (HS mafia) funniest role claim: Radagast (rhino in LotR) best mod: Hivr Funniest player: Azreal Best town player: Azreal Best mafia player: Axelrod Best overall player: Puzzle Edit: ok... I have tried enter like 3 times, this time i wont preview it because that seems to screw it up.

Right, Raf. You were great up to where you claimed ADHD kid with the post restriction. But after MJM counterclaimed as ADD kid and you tried to add on the rest of your claim, then everything started going downhill

<Limited Clan>
Individual: Best Played Neutral-Does Frodo in LotR Mafia count? If so, vote Frodo/Aurorasparrow. I think he's the only neutral I can remember who actually won his game.. Best Played Mafia Role (Individual)-Axelrod, Random 2. Nuff said. The strongest evidence we found on him was MO, and that was something he had no control over. Best Played Mafia Role (Group)-Shaman probably? Best Played Town (Group)-Warcraft 3? Day 1 victory? Worst Played Town (Group)-Blind Mafia 2, without a doubt. Ugh. Worst Played Mafia (Group)-Blind Mafia 1. Funniest Role Claim-Puzzle, SK.
Overall: Best Game Mod-Hmm...I really enjoyed Battlestar, Mafia Mafia, LotR, and the World Dom games. Shaman was quite intriguing too, very suspenseful. But, I have to vote Hvir to break the tie, simply because I've been able to play in two of his games, and only one from the other hosts, and I had a blast in both.
Best Game Design-Dollar and Shaman stand out as cool innovations. Armlx has one in the works that should be very well constructed. LotR was gas. Hmm...I'm going to have to vote LotR.
Funniest Player-Puzzle, definitely. He always makes me smile. Even if he is French.
Best Town Player-Axelrod, Puzzle, Hvir, and Fade are tech, and Cropcircles has been getting really, really good over his last few games. I'll throw my support behind the rising star, and vote Cropcircles.
Best Mafia Player-Puzzle might have been, before this poll started. So much for that.
LJustus is excellent as well. Silicon scares me. Axelrod could convince a score of nuns that their only chance of salvation was to take off all their clothes and dance in a circle chanting satanic rituals while smearing the blood of aborted fetuses all over themselves. I remember Hvir having a good poker face too, back in the day.
Best Town Player-Axelrod and Fade are tech, and Cropcircles has been getting really, really good over his last few games. To be original, I'll vote Cropcircles.
Copycat!
But, seriously, in agreement- CC has impressed me greatly over the last few games he's played.
Best Played Neutral - Azrael (WD1) for getting much closer than you ever had a right to with no Night Abilitites at all.
Best Played SK - Pibbly (Kamigawa Mafia) I still think he's innocent.
Best Played Town Power Role (Doctor/Cop/Vig) - Eh. No one jumps out at me. Azrael in Mafia Mafia.
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual) - God Child (LoTR Mafia)
Best Played Mafia Role (Group) - Shaman Mafia. I still hate you guys.
Best Played Town (Group) - Is it cheating to say WarCraftIII?
Worst Played Town (Group) - Um, Shaman?
Worst Played Mafia (Group) - Both factions in Dominaria Mafia were kind of bad.
Best Role Claim - Fadeblue (BattleStar Salvation Mafia)
Funniest Role Claim - Puzzle (8-Bit)
The following apply overall:
Best Game Mod - Fadeblue
Best Game Design - Dunno. No one has more than 2 games designed, right? Dollar was the most creative I've seen, but I don't know about "best designed" (Sin City may give this a run for it's money). As far as more traditional games--maybe 8-Bit.
Funniest Player - Puzzle
Best Town Player - Azrael
Best Mafia Player - Puzzle on the strength of Shaman. I'm not sure anyone's been standout mafia enough times to get a good read on this.
Best Overall Player - Azrael (most of the time ;))
Hawkeye7 also needs some kind of award for best role-playing, Sin City (plus others I've seen).

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
Fourth that. I enjoyed my brief stint there as well. When the game (Sin City) is all said and done, something tells me that one will be a consensus choice for great design.
And why am I getting votes for funniest player again?
I think my grandmother would disagree. :/

Lies! -I'm Buffy Summers, town tracker. I used my ability on you and saw that you didn't use any abilities before the game started. My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.

I don't play here anywhere near enough to vote for the other categories. However, Azrael's recent game was the best I've ever seen, so he must needs receive my vote. (I post this malarky in the case of there being an experience requirement to voting).

I remember Hvir having a good poker face too, back in the day.
The 8 ball says to Vote Axelrod.
Best Overall Player-Yikes...hmm. Axel probably?
Copycat!
But, seriously, in agreement- CC has impressed me greatly over the last few games he's played.
V/LA: 3/21-3/24 & 3/27-3/29
:mad1: You defeated my stealth edit.
Best Played Neutral - Azrael (WD1) for getting much closer than you ever had a right to with no Night Abilitites at all.
Best Played SK - Pibbly (Kamigawa Mafia) I still think he's innocent.
Best Played Town Power Role (Doctor/Cop/Vig) - Eh. No one jumps out at me. Azrael in Mafia Mafia.
Best Played Mafia Role (Individual) - God Child (LoTR Mafia)
Best Played Mafia Role (Group) - Shaman Mafia. I still hate you guys.
Best Played Town (Group) - Is it cheating to say WarCraftIII?
Worst Played Town (Group) - Um, Shaman?
Worst Played Mafia (Group) - Both factions in Dominaria Mafia were kind of bad.
Best Role Claim - Fadeblue (BattleStar Salvation Mafia)
Funniest Role Claim - Puzzle (8-Bit)
The following apply overall:
Best Game Mod - Fadeblue
Best Game Design - Dunno. No one has more than 2 games designed, right? Dollar was the most creative I've seen, but I don't know about "best designed" (Sin City may give this a run for it's money). As far as more traditional games--maybe 8-Bit.
Funniest Player - Puzzle
Best Town Player - Azrael
Best Mafia Player - Puzzle on the strength of Shaman. I'm not sure anyone's been standout mafia enough times to get a good read on this.
Best Overall Player - Azrael (most of the time ;))
Hawkeye7 also needs some kind of award for best role-playing, Sin City (plus others I've seen).
Second that.
I actually saved the text from the night action PMs he sent me, to post at the end of the game, so that others may bask in their glory.
EDIT: Third that.
@ Azrael for my stealth-edit subversion skills.
V/LA: 3/21-3/24 & 3/27-3/29
I think my grandmother would disagree. :/
It's too bad Sin City is still running. I guess it'll have to wait another year Or maybe we should do these semi-annually?
I see no reason not to. It is great to just be able to talk about mafia without having that day's lynch hanging over your head, y'know?
But yeah, there's really too many possible awards to cover everyone. silicon, Hardest to Read...DYH, Best New Comer...SorryGuy, Most Helpful...CF, Most often Scum...:tongue2:

While by votes it is Puzzle I think we can all agree with CropCircles that it is really Puzzle, Axelrod, and Azrael who deserve reconigition here.
Cheers to another great year of mafia!
I don't play here anywhere near enough to vote for the other categories. However, Azrael's recent game was the best I've ever seen, so he must needs receive my vote. (I post this malarky in the case of there being an experience requirement to voting).
