Seppel in Ataghan Mafia. Seppel replaced in and the game, while not hugely in the town's favor at the time, became a landslide victory after Seppel took over and pummeled most of the remaining scum, which ultimately led to a mafia forfeit.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual):
Guardman in Battlestar Galactica Mafia. Guardman claimed, on Night 1, to have Vigged the Survivor. He coasted to endgame on this claim, garnering little to no scrutiny all the way through. In the end, the mafia (consisting of 2 players) won while losing no members.
Best SK Performance (Individual):
Seppel in Majora's Mask Mafia. Seppel rode it out to endgame and ALMOST won. Honorable mention to Stardust, who might have taken the victory cake here in The Legend of Lucian Mafia had he not screwed himself over with a literal last-minute action change.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual):
Iso in Dr. Polyopticon's Transcendental Orchestra Mafia. I had the difficulty of being a Cult Leader without having the advantage of being able to mow over every other player once I recruited people because their win conditions did not change. I was basically a glorified Survivor and had to stay scummy enough not to get Nightkilled but townie enough in my claim and behavior to prevent myself from getting lynched. Eventually, it came down to endgame, and I was Kingmaker. I chose to let the town win. We got the good ending.
Best Town Performance (Group):
There were really no mindblowing towns this year. My choices would have to be among MTGS Mafia Redux 2: The Invitational, WWE Mafia, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If I had to choose, Redux 2: Invitational takes it because we only mislynched once and managed to kill 3 scum and a Hitman in a Mini!
Best Mafia Performance (Group):
Again, no particular scum groups stand out to me this year - I would have to give this to either Vanilla Mafia 2 or Unseen University for both teams running circles around the town enough to get away without a scratch. Honorable mention to OT2R.
Worst Town Performance (Group):
Oh god here we go. The town in Majora's Mask was absolutely godawful. No explanation necessary. Honorable mention to Steins;Gate Mafia.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group):
Ataghan Mafia. WoD got busted Day 1, Cythare Day 2, Caex shortly thereafter. We fell apart, the gambits with Arianrhod's ability and my own failed, and the town had Tanarin's grossly overpowered role to top it off. We had a horrible performance, and we deserve this. Honorable mention to Amistarian III's scumteam for: TMCT getting Vigged Night 1, AI CCing Cyan (who was town), and fadeblue and Axelrod getting caught Day 1 but not getting lynched until endgame because they lurked for the entire game.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual):
I don't remember any notable falseclaims from this year, so I'll default to my own falseclaim in Ataghan wherein I ALMOST became confirmed town and would have done so if not for the unfortunate intervention of Megiddo and his predecessor's ability on Xyre Night 1.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual):
Probably Wessel in The Hobbit Mafia. He claimed, "Oh, I just need to target Bilbo and take The Ring. Please let me live? I promise I won't hurt him. :suckup:" ...and then the next Day, Bilbo was dead, and Wessel had left the game.
Best Town Player:
Voxxicus. I've not seen someone be so thorough AND correct since desCoures (when he's not driven by apathy, of course).
Best Mafia Player:
Cyan. In Redux 2, I did not suspect him at all until ZDS reminded me of how he claimed he played his claimed role and why that was not a townie thing to do. Cyan is devious and even forced a mislynch of the unCCed Cop after narrowly evading getting his falseclaim busted wide open by Az targeting somebody else instead. Cyan hasn't lost his cunning as scum by any means.
Most Entertaining Player:
Megiddo. Many a time have I found myself laughing heartily at his posts.
Most Improved Player:
DRey. DRey has become so much better over the past year that it's like he's an entirely different player! He still has his moments where he's old-school gambit DRey and he shoots himself in the foot, but DRey has improved a whole hell of a lot recently.
Mod Awards:
Most Creative
The Most Curious Thing. I've never seen so many alignments in one game!
Best Flavor
zindabad, Ataghan, hands-down.
Most Interesting Role
There were a lot of good ones in Ataghan, but I'd have to give this award to Velvet Violet Violin, Concertmaster (Neutral Cult of Anarchy Leader) from Dr. Polyopticon's Transcendental Orchestra. The premise behind the character for the role was certainly unique, and I enjoyed being the ambitious demi-villain with the potential to either be the orchestra's salvation or damnation. The role was very skill-intensive and very fun to play.
Best Read
Cyberspace Mafia. While ambitious, Cyberspace Mafia fell short of expectations. However, the flavor was excellent, the roles were interesting, and the playerbase was a collection of MVPs if I've ever seen one. Everyone had a healthy dose of paranoia, even right up to the end of the game where we were certain we had it solved. The town played rather impressively, reins held by Seppel, KCC, and myself. Azrael played very well as scum, and was only caught by KCC's gambit, IMO. A lot of WIFOM, gambitry, and good old-fashioned Mafia was had in Cyberspace, and it's well worth the read.

2015: Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Best Read
2016: Best Town Performance (Group) - Best Town Player - Best Overall Player
Best Town Performance (Individual): KCC, Cyberspace Mafia
Honorable Mentions: Voxxicus in The Naked City Mafia, Azrael in MTGS Mafia Redux 2
KCC rocked the scum's world in this game - shame that she no longer plays here, as I respect both her excellent modding and her play. HMs go to Voxx for CT1 for investigating two scum the both days he was alive, and Az for the "Massive Game-Winning Summary and Analysis" facet that I always like reading. He also caught the two scum and the SK in that game, and later found Cyan.
There is no question that Voxxicuss played the best game amongst townies. He investigated two scum in two tries, one of them just happened to return a false result.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): Voxxicus, Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Honorable Mentions: Cyan, Survival Horror Mafia, TMCT, Steins;Gate Mafia
I thought that Voxx's performance was fantastic. Literally one of the best mafioso performances I have ever experienced. I didn't believe that he was scum until it was more or less confirmed in the spectator thread. The town should probably be glad that the game just ended now, because I honestly don't think anyone was ever going to make a Voxx lynch happen successfully.
HMs for Cyan in SH - even though endgame I thought he was a victim of the "strong player, why hasn't he been NK'd yet" syndrome, he played very well in that game. TMCT has super-solid scumgames - both in Steins;Gate and Majora's Mask where everyone was convinced he was town on behavior.
Best SK Performance (Individual): Seppel, Majora's Mask Mafia
Honorable Mentions: Voxxicus, FHF Mafia
Seppel was a wrecking ball - he imitated his town self perfectly in that game and when an SK was confirmed to me my first thought was Zinger. He also got the entire town to /barn him. Nod to Voxxicus in FHF for stalling the endgame out for an entire month, but people were calling him SK/Tough Guy as early as Day 2, so I'm inclined to give it to Seppel here.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual): Asenion, Empire of Astarte
Honorable Mentions: Zinger2099, Majora’s Mask Mafia, Iso, Dr. Polyopticon’s Transcendental Orchestra
Asenion came up with the role-swap idea which was brilliant and basically sealed his faction's victory - they called the shots as early as Day 2/3. Zinger gets a mention for solid scumhunting + surviving to endgame in Majora's Mask, and Iso for playing his role perfectly in Dr. P.
Best Town Performance (Group): MTGS Mafia Redux (Both versions)
Honorable Mentions: TMNT Mafia, Marvel Madness Mafia, WWII Mafia
Lots of good town performances this year but I'd go with Redux. The town trampled over the scum in both versions of the game, though /all/ the town played solidly in EMU so inclined to push it more than Invitational. HMs go for TMNT, Marvel Madness, and WWII for catching all the scum before Day 3.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): Majora’s Mask Mafia (not a lot of good ones here)
Honorable Mentions: Vanilla Mafia 2
Ugh, Best Mafia Performance is extraordinary difficult - most of your team has to play well and when you win it's most often because of town!derp. Both MM and Vanilla Mafia had the same problem in which that the town was derp, but man. TMCT played very well in Majora's Mask, and I even though I still have no idea why Generic/Wheat weren't lynched earlier they did a good job of coasting. Arcadic skated by on his good cop claim, too. HMs to Vanilla for everyone basically ignoring Xyre and Nis.
FIVE Mislynches. The town "caught" the scum early but backtracked. First two lynches were on VI town. Third lynch was caused by Seppel "forgetting" how the mod cleared hans. Fourth and fifth lynches were atrocious. HM to Majora's Mask for being super bad but still managing to lynch scum, Vanilla Mafia is also terrible too - lurkaderp game.
ALL the scum derped. hawk died due to modkill over role PM fail, Void claimed "vanilla" and got lynched because he forgot that he claimed an ability, AE CC'd a townie, and AGod claimed town rolecop. HMs to TMNT for poor behavior/more scum derp and GRBR for getting their scum lynched before Night 4.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Guardman, Battlestar Galactica
Claimed one-shot vig and got away with it for the rest of the game, even though it wasn't proven. Enough said.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Seppel in FHF
Honorable Mention: swishh in Apocalypse
The daykill on Capt. Tzymo was hilarious, up there with "have any content, CC?". swishh claimed the most weirdest role possible and later retracted it. I highly recommend you read both claims.
Best Town Player: Voxxicus
No contest. Voxx has extremely solid games to work from this year, and his playstyle is one of the most effective I've ever seen. I could write more words about Voxx's play but I'll just keep this short and sweet.
Best Mafia Player: Cyan
While Cyan did not have a good run this year as town, he had two amazing scum games to make up for it - SH and Invitational.
Best Overall Player: Voxxicus
Honorable Mentions: DRey (for winning of his games this year)
Really, if it isn't Voxx, then who is? Super solid scum game as evidenced by USUDM, + consistent, strong town games under his PoE playstyle, deadly accurate in reads.
HM to DRey for being incredibly solid this year and for having won all of his games.
Another one of my playstyle influences, I absolutely love reading his walls. Solid as scum AND town - could be called the Azrael of MTGS Mafia EMU, and solid games in Amistarian AND Disney Villains. I expect Tar to be a slightly lurky but excellent addition to the playerbase.
See, this guy is awesome. /barn everything pending my own research.
unvote, vote axelrod
Mod Awards:
Best Game Design: Survival Horror Mafia
While the trainwreck ending was unfortunate, the game design was VERY solid aside from a few problematic roles. The top-down design of the mutations was very creative and made sense, and the location-based mechanic was cleanly implemented as well. I really wish I didn't play really bad in this game (though it might have been good for the game, heh)
Most Creative: Empire of Astarte
I was following along TMCT's Mini in the spec chat and I was surprised at how much work he put into it. The stab he took (five factions) was admirable, and while it wasn't perfect (for most of the reasons Megiddo pointed out) it felt fairly innovative and elegant to me, even though the gameplay of the game wasn't great.
Best Flavor: Empire of Astarte
Most Interesting Role: The VEEP, Presidential Mafia
Best Host: Arnnaria
I love hosts that work like a machine - not intrusive on the game, regular vote counts, up-to-the-minute prod checks, and Arnnaria fits all of these criteria wonderfully. I had a fun time playing in his Basic, Disney Villains, and I'm eager to see how he grows as a mod.
Most Improved Player: DRey
HMs: Asenion/Dragonheart91, Wheat_Grinder
Best Read: Disney Villains
HMs: Innistrad, Famous Historical Figures Mafia
I agree with all the above, but I would nominate FHF Mafia and TMNT Mafia for best town performance (Group).
Hobbit for worst scum performance (Group). Even though I had one hour to quickhammer and win it for the scum, my buddies were caught easily, and I had the infamous "coffee meltdown."
Best newcomer: Did Voxx start this year? If so, him. If not, Rhand. Rhand is good at evading suspicion and finding scum.
Honorable mentions to DCIII, dkingsland967, Taredas, and TK-421.
I wish I'd had a little more of a body of work/frame of reference for these but it'll certainly provide good reading material!
Will second the looks for TMNT for a town performance, other than the doc staving off the N1 NK, it would have been impossible not to have a cleaner result.
I'll gradually fill these in as I remember stuff. Nominations are subject to change.
Best Town Performance (Individual)
Best Mafia Performance (Individual)
Cyan, Survival Horror. We literally only won this game because we logged on before he did. His role was a little overpowered but that doesn't detract from his performance. Until he claimed scum in-thread there were doubts in my mind. Very good showing.
Best SK Performance (Individual)
Seppel, Majora's Mask. I was following the game loosely and had pegged this as a not-town Seppel, but the performance was good.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual)
Asenion, Empire of Astarte. Despite this role being a bit overpowered in the context of the setup, he played it (with his partner) very well and was able to close out the game very easily.
Best Town Performance (Group)
Best Mafia Performance (Group)
Worst Town Performance (Group)
Battlestar Galactica. 5 mislynches were required to lose this game. 5 mislynches happened.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group)
TMNT.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual)
Guardman, BSG. Simple. Effective.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual)
Seppel, FHF. He provides the world's daylight.

Most Improved Player
I'm going to indulge myself and self-nominate just this once. My 2012 overall win record was abysmal, something like 3-8. This year I've gone 5-0. If you count the various games I've excluded from my stats for various reasons it's 6-3 or so. Still, that's a huge improvement, IMO.
Mod Awards:
Most Creative
Empire of Astarte by TMCT. I have vocalized my many "complaints" about this setup already, and there are definitely a lot of ways it could have been balanced better, but this was a game largely exploring unknown territory and it was intriguing from a design standpoint and a lot of fun intellectually. (Whether it was actually fun to play in is up for debate.)
Best Flavor
Ataghan by Zindabad. Despite being a guy whose only power was being REALLY MAD in a game full of powerful wizards, I definitely felt immersed in this world. Zindabad sets the bar for game flavor.
If this is set for the same dates as the forum awards, looks like nominations will last until December 9th. Award voting will be the week of December 9th through the 16th.
And forgive me if I don't put up my own choices for nominations.

Best Town Performance (Individual): KCC, Cyberspace Mafia
Beautiful performance. Everything from her doc gambit to her analysis just worked.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): Seppel, Eeveelution Mafia
Seppel obviously put a boatload of work into figuring out and mastering the setup, and it showed. Due to the nature of the game, I believe whatever alignment Seppel had drawn would've won.
Best SK Performance (Individual): Seppel, Majora's Mask Mafia
He should've capitalized on my slip and axed me a Day earlier, but this was otherwise an amazing performance.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual): Iso, Dr. Polyopticon's Transcendental Orchestra
Don't have strong thoughts about this one. Iso played a unique cult leader well.
Best Town Performance (Group): The town from FHF Mafia
Sure, the TMNT town got three mafia deaths in two days -- but the FHF town got five in four days. They just tore through the mafia, and when they still had to catch a neutral, Void and Meg persevered and got him. Impressive from start to finish.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): The mafia from Unseen University Mafia
I don't have strong thoughts about this one.
Worst Town Performance (Group): The town from BSG Mafia
"Five mislynches."
Worst Mafia Performance (Group): The mafia from TMNT Mafia
lol. Considered Chimes for the worst mass claim ever (going 3 for 3 on botched/ill-advised claims), but lol, the TMNT mafia.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Guardman, BSG Mafia
That's how you coast.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Guardman, Steins;Gate Mafia
I'm supposed to claim vanilla today. Which is kind of weird, because by definition since I have to claim vanilla I can technically not be vanilla. Very paradoxical, eh?
Seppel obviously put a boatload of work into figuring out and mastering the setup, and it showed.
Aww, thank you!
I never imagined I would use a Pokemon wiki (and a health dose of modgaming) to figure out the entire town's stats and moves based on the tiny breadcrumbs they were giving.
From there it was a matter of playing optimal moves and eliminating anyone who could call the mafia out on its lies.
KCC for Cyberspace Mafia. I don't believe anyone else came close to touching KCC in this category.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual):
The Cold Monarch in OTR2 Mafia. I don't believe anyone ever suspected him.
Best SK Performance (Individual):
Seppel for Majora's Mask Mafia. Honorable mention goes to Voxxicus for his performance in Famous Historical Figures Mafai
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual):
Iso for Dr. Polyotpicon's Transcendental Orchestra Mafia
Best Town Performance (Group):
Famous Historical Figures Mafia hands down. The Mafia team was eaten alive in this game.
Best Mafia Performance (Group):
Any game where I wasn't Mafia
OTR2 Mafia. Azrael and The Cold Monarch.
Worst Town Performance (Group):
House, M.D. Mafia. Generic, as Scum, claimed a 1-shot Vig when the JoaT has a vig shot in his utility. The JoaT ended up being replaced twice before Digi knew what was going on. The rest of the Town basically did nothing memorable from the game.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group):
Any game where I was Mafia
WWII Mafia. I don't believe much comes closer to it. Read the game and watch myself and others implode.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual):
Guardman for BSG Mafia.

Cantripmancer for Dr. Polyotpicon's Transcendental Orchestra Mafia
Most Interesting Role:
Tarades for Majora's Mask Mafia for Majora's and Link's Roles. If I had to choose one, then Majora would get it.
Best Town Performance (Individual): KCC in Cyberspace sounds fine to me
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): I'll say Cyouni in Steins;Gate. He rallied the town to their own doom.
Best SK Performance (Individual): Seppel as Majora was so good that we thought he was town even under thorough examination.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual): The only one I remember was Zinger and he wasn't killed only because it was disadvantageous for everyone else.
Best Town Performance (Group): Cyberspace Mafia had town pretty on the ball despite the issues with the setup.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): Majora's Mask. Generic was confirmed town, I prevented my own death (though how much of that was my own doing is questionable), TMCT was confirmed to everyone but Seppel (which just reiterates how good Seppel was). Plus, how many games are won by scum in which the scum reveal they are scum?
Worst Town Performance (Group): Also Majora's Mask. As Seppel aptly put it, everyone barricaded the exit to victory with a couch and set it on fire as they took a nap upon it.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group): I don't remember any being terrifically awful that I played in.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Can't remember any good ones.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual): That one from Seppel sounds amazing so I'll vote for that.
Best Town Player: Voxxicus. He was nutso good.
Best Mafia Player: The Most Curious Thing. He was confirmed town in two separate games.
Most Entertaining Player: He who does not say Megiddo is either Megiddo or lying.
Most Improved Player: DRey. He used to pretty awful and now he's great.
Mod Awards:
Most Creative: Despite the fact that it didn't turn out too well, I'd go with Toastboy and Ecophagy for Cyberspace.
Best Flavor: Also Toastboy and Ecophagy for Cyberspace.
Most Interesting Role: All of the most interesting ones were broken to all hell so I'll avoid this one.
Best Read: Iso's games, if only because they show the folly of extreme complexity.

We only have worst town and worst mafia. If anything, it's just a chance to and remind certain players on the nominated teams not to be so awful. It's constructive criticism and no one takes it badly because it is pretty apparent when you play a crappy game based on events and outcome.
Tl;dr: As a tongue-in-cheek reminder to play or design better.

I'm fine with worst awards. If the hidden Modfias were counted, I'd surely win this for my terrible Town game where I ended up revealing all the town PRs and basically handing the game to the Mafia. It's important to see where you screwed up.

I'm fine with 'worst town' and 'worst mafia' awards.
I don't think I'd be fine with singling out specific players.
This, exactly.
Worst town/mafia as a team vote is no big deal. It doesn't make anybody feel singled out.
But worst single player is just bullying. I remember back when we had LVP awards every game. I fought hard to get rid of that, and I never want to see it come back. It is complete **** that really does not have any positive effect.

Seppel in FHF. He's the one who kept us organised.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual):
Generic in MTGS Mafia. He divided town so well that it was almost impossible for his team to lose. I also loved how he played the hammerderping thing so well.
Best SK Performance (Individual):
Voxxicus in FHF Mafia.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual):
Although I was on to him, Iso in Dr. Polyopticon. I somehow never managed to convince town that he was the cult leader, but in the end he chose to let us win so it's all good.
Best Town Performance (Group):
My first idea would be Chimes or WWE, but that was more a roll-over and die from the scumteams than superb town play. I think FHF was probably the most organised town I've seen, so I'll go with that.
Best Mafia Performance (Group):
In Unseen University I had a lot of fun guiding town to their doom with Iso and Proph. I also loved the mafia play from Karn and his team in Lucian. I'll go with that because I wasn't mafia there and self-voting is lame
Worst Town Performance (Group):
Worst Mafia Performance (Group):
Chimes was pretty bad, but mechanics played a quite big part in that. I'll go with WWE.

Cantripmancer. His Dr. Polyopticon game was such a nice game to be in and his roles fit his flavor just perfectly. The mechanics on the cult leader were well-made.
Best Flavor
Again Cantripmancer for Dr. Polyopticon. The sad story he brought touched my soul.
Most Interesting Role
I loved playing weak doctor in Innistrad, but I guess that's not really a role worth nominating
I'll go with Velvet Violin in Dr. Polyopticon

Ataghan Mafia. WoD got busted Day 1, Cythare Day 2, Caex shortly thereafter. We fell apart, the gambits with Arianrhod's ability and my own failed, and the town had Tanarin's grossly overpowered role to top it off. We had a horrible performance, and we deserve this. Honorable mention to Amistarian III's scumteam for: TMCT getting Vigged Night 1, AI CCing Cyan (who was town), and fadeblue and Axelrod getting caught Day 1 but not getting lynched until endgame because they lurked for the entire game.
I'll post my thoughts here, but minor nitpick: I wasn't scum this game, I was town.
Oh, whoops. I guess I just convinced myself that you were from my argument with Axelrod in that game. I meant EtR, I think. I'll fix it when I get home.

HMs for Cyan in SH - even though endgame I thought he was a victim of the "strong player, why hasn't he been NK'd yet" syndrome, he played very well in that game. TMCT has super-solid scumgames - both in Steins;Gate and Majora's Mask where everyone was convinced he was town on behavior.

Best Mafia Newcomer isn't on the list either!
=========
I agree with all the above, but I would nominate FHF Mafia and TMNT Mafia for best town performance (Group).
Hobbit for worst scum performance (Group). Even though I had one hour to quickhammer and win it for the scum, my buddies were caught easily, and I had the infamous "coffee meltdown."
Best newcomer: Did Voxx start this year? If so, him. If not, Rhand. Rhand is good at evading suspicion and finding scum.
Honorable mentions to DCIII, dkingsland967, Taredas, and TK-421.
Overall player, newcomer, and some other things are in the main forum awards...thing.
Nominations close for that in a few days though I think.
(Once I edit in my forum awards I'll be glad to see Seppel /barning mine :p)
Can we get a link to that please? For those of us who never venture outside of the Mafia forum.
(I've never even looked at another part of this forum that isn't mafia)
And I can't even keep mafia awards threads from keeping me from my work, let alone mafia games, apparently.
Will second the looks for TMNT for a town performance, other than the doc staving off the N1 NK, it would have been impossible not to have a cleaner result.
Town Win % = 75%
Mafia Win % = 75%
Overall Win % = 75%

Best Mafia Performance (Individual)
Cyan, Survival Horror. We literally only won this game because we logged on before he did. His role was
a littleoverpowered but that doesn't detract from his performance. Until he claimed scum in-thread there were doubts in my mind. Very good showing.Best SK Performance (Individual)
Seppel, Majora's Mask. I was following the game loosely and had pegged this as a not-town Seppel, but the performance was good.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual)
Asenion, Empire of Astarte. Despite this role being a bit overpowered in the context of the setup, he played it (with his partner) very well and was able to close out the game very easily.

I'm going to indulge myself and self-nominate just this once. My 2012 overall win record was abysmal, something like 3-8. This year I've gone 5-0. If you count the various games I've excluded from my stats for various reasons it's 6-3 or so. Still, that's a huge improvement, IMO.
Mod Awards:
Most Creative
Empire of Astarte by TMCT. I have vocalized my many "complaints" about this setup already, and there are definitely a lot of ways it could have been balanced better, but this was a game largely exploring unknown territory and it was intriguing from a design standpoint and a lot of fun intellectually. (Whether it was actually fun to play in is up for debate.)
Best Flavor
Ataghan by Zindabad. Despite being a guy whose only power was being REALLY MAD in a game full of powerful wizards, I definitely felt immersed in this world. Zindabad sets the bar for game flavor.

And forgive me if I don't put up my own choices for nominations.
I wasn't around for any of the completed games!
Thanks to Heroes of the Plane Studios for the sigpic.
Spider-Man Mafia 3 (Off-Site: NGA)
Metroid Mafia (Off-Site: Mafia Universe)
Yes it is.
I mentioned why in the OP. Reading is tech
Voxx started with us last year, Rhand started this year.
I did state this in the OP. Reading is tech, people.

Okay.

Honestly, I would nominate KCC for one of the best town performances of all time for Cyberspace. She was incredible all game long.

Best Town Performance (Individual): KCC, Cyberspace Mafia
Beautiful performance. Everything from her doc gambit to her analysis just worked.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): Seppel, Eeveelution Mafia
Seppel obviously put a boatload of work into figuring out and mastering the setup, and it showed. Due to the nature of the game, I believe whatever alignment Seppel had drawn would've won.
Best SK Performance (Individual): Seppel, Majora's Mask Mafia
He should've capitalized on my slip and axed me a Day earlier, but this was otherwise an amazing performance.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual): Iso, Dr. Polyopticon's Transcendental Orchestra
Don't have strong thoughts about this one. Iso played a unique cult leader well.
Best Town Performance (Group): The town from FHF Mafia
Sure, the TMNT town got three mafia deaths in two days -- but the FHF town got five in four days. They just tore through the mafia, and when they still had to catch a neutral, Void and Meg persevered and got him. Impressive from start to finish.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): The mafia from Unseen University Mafia
I don't have strong thoughts about this one.
Worst Town Performance (Group): The town from BSG Mafia
"Five mislynches."
Worst Mafia Performance (Group): The mafia from TMNT Mafia
lol. Considered Chimes for the worst mass claim ever (going 3 for 3 on botched/ill-advised claims), but lol, the TMNT mafia.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Guardman, BSG Mafia
That's how you coast.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Guardman, Steins;Gate Mafia
Aww, thank you!
I never imagined I would use a Pokemon wiki (and a health dose of modgaming) to figure out the entire town's stats and moves based on the tiny breadcrumbs they were giving.
From there it was a matter of playing optimal moves and eliminating anyone who could call the mafia out on its lies.

Best Town Performance (Individual): KCC in Cyberspace sounds fine to me
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): I'll say Cyouni in Steins;Gate. He rallied the town to their own doom.
Best SK Performance (Individual): Seppel as Majora was so good that we thought he was town even under thorough examination.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual): The only one I remember was Zinger and he wasn't killed only because it was disadvantageous for everyone else.
Best Town Performance (Group): Cyberspace Mafia had town pretty on the ball despite the issues with the setup.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): Majora's Mask. Generic was confirmed town, I prevented my own death (though how much of that was my own doing is questionable), TMCT was confirmed to everyone but Seppel (which just reiterates how good Seppel was). Plus, how many games are won by scum in which the scum reveal they are scum?
Worst Town Performance (Group): Also Majora's Mask. As Seppel aptly put it, everyone barricaded the exit to victory with a couch and set it on fire as they took a nap upon it.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group): I don't remember any being terrifically awful that I played in.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual): Can't remember any good ones.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual): That one from Seppel sounds amazing so I'll vote for that.
Best Town Player: Voxxicus. He was nutso good.
Best Mafia Player: The Most Curious Thing. He was confirmed town in two separate games.
Most Entertaining Player: He who does not say Megiddo is either Megiddo or lying.
Most Improved Player: DRey. He used to pretty awful and now he's great.
Mod Awards:
Most Creative: Despite the fact that it didn't turn out too well, I'd go with Toastboy and Ecophagy for Cyberspace.
Best Flavor: Also Toastboy and Ecophagy for Cyberspace.
Most Interesting Role: All of the most interesting ones were broken to all hell so I'll avoid this one.
Best Read: Iso's games, if only because they show the folly of extreme complexity.
I'm much happier with Silver Rage.
But he's not even silver anymore.
THE TERM IS CATCHY
And besides, now we get to explain it to everyone.
Link me to this burning couch. It sounds amusing.

I don't think I'd be fine with singling out specific players.
This, exactly.
Worst town/mafia as a team vote is no big deal. It doesn't make anybody feel singled out.
But worst single player is just bullying. I remember back when we had LVP awards every game. I fought hard to get rid of that, and I never want to see it come back. It is complete **** that really does not have any positive effect.
