So, I can't keep going anymore. The circuits are officially fried. I might not play with any of you kind folks again.
But, I have to say, as the guy behind Askthepizzaguy, so many heartbreaking losses in a row is a rotten taste to retire on. Yet, you folks showing me the effort at least was appreciated... makes a lot of the bad taste go away.
And for that, and the honor of even being nominated, I thank you.
Maybe we'll see you again in the future when you come back from retirement.
I'm just going to go off of what I saw, for the most part.
Best Town Performance (Individual): DoTArchon, Russian Roulette. He may have shot me, but it was his choices that led the town to victory.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): Shadowlancerx, Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Shadow played a fantastic scumgame. Few suspected him, everybody paid the price.
Best 3rd Party Performance (Individual): N/A, for me.
Best Town Performance (Group): Revolution Mafia. Losing Town members relatively 1 for 1 is impressive.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): Avalon Mafia. Town was led in circles by their noses.
Worst Town Performance (Group): Maelstrom of Alara (Uggh). D_V just wasn't scum. Period. End of story.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group): It would be easy to say Revolution, but I think it's better to say Maelstrom of Alara. While the mafia mostly were succeeding at their goal, it was one of the most disgusting lines of play I've seen, and it didn't feel like a good game of Mafia. There was a decent chance that town was going to take over that game, too.
Best Town Player: Silvercrys3467 - Good analysis, good posts. All around good guy. I don't think I've seen him roll scum yet, and if he can pull off looking the same, he will be fantastic. Everyone who's seen him do so says he can't, though.
Best Mafia Player: Tomsloger. If Tom is in a game, he is probably scum. And nobody will be certain about it. Tom rarely slips, and often is easily able to play off slips as normal play. OTG III was insane, with Tom bringing the game down to the wire, then dropping his gimmick and playing it off as normal.
Best Overall Player: Vaimes - Vaimes made the worst of games worth playing. No matter his alignment, Vaimes pushed himself and everyone else to be a better player. Vaimes for MVP of 2017.
Best Newcomer: Reaverb Tau. He performed fantastically in Dark and Stormy. If I wasn't specifically reconsidering him, I never would have thought that he was scum.
Most Entertaining Player: Shadowlancerx - Whether if I was town against Shadow, town with Shadow, or scum against Shadow, I always had fun playing with him in the game.
Most Improved Player: Killjoy. Killjoy has been always putting his all into improving as a player, and it shows. While there is still room to grow, his analyses have gotten better and his general attitude is positive.
Mod Awards:
Best Design: Horsemen of the Apocalypse - The setup was fantastic, and the roles interplayed nicely.
Best Flavor: Revolution Mafia - I very much enjoyed the humor interspersed throughout this setup.
Best Role: I liked most if not all of the roles in Revolution…

Nice playing with you, Pizza.
