Wow thank you all so much! I am so thrilled to be honored like this by all of you. I am so grateful for this utterly insignificant in the grand scheme but incredibly meaningful to me award. It was such a fun year of mafia with you all.
A few thanks are in order, thanks to Vez and DV for pirates. I never get nominated without that game, and I never play that game without you guys continuously pushing me to not bus and keeping my spirits up. Thanks to Wuffles for being the most positive scum buddy I have ever had in tokens. Thanks to Proph, Bur, and Togs for teaching me a ton about mafia when I was just getting started and especially Proph for not letting me get too down on my play when I lost something like 9 of my first 10 games. Thanks to everyone who makes this such a fun place to hang out and stab each other in the back. It's a really cool community and I have such a grand time hanging out here with all of you.
And lastly an apology to Osie, WheatGrinder, MarkoRaj, Hunger, 7Hawk7, Rhand, and Cantrip for my absolute flakery during the team event. I let both of my teams completely down there and really sincerely apologize for my complete lack of effort and poor play.
I've thought about playing here again, my phone just really does not get along with your site though.
That's a shame. It would be great to have you play here more but it's definitely not friendly to all phones. My old phone mad this site completely unusable.
I've pinned this thread. I have a few nominations in mind, but should probably mostly abstain as I've played in/read very few games, this year.
If everyone abstains because they haven't played in every game then no one will take part. Better to nominate what you know about and then abstain from voting if you're not confident in being able to judge in my eyes.
Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual): Killjoy in Prison Block (honorable mentions to Az in ZE, Rhand in Arkham, Cyan in Arkham, and Vaimes in friends and enemies)
KJ singlehandedly carried me to a victory in this game. He cleared me and managed to carry me through a final 3.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual): Tom in Zero Escape (Honorable mentions to Iso in Friends and Enemies, GJ in Playstation, Wuffles in Resistance, Tom in Arkham, Shadow as Pheonix-Fire in Zero Escape, and Wuffles in Token Power)
I spent roughly a month calling tom the town MVP in an unspoiled dead chat.
Fooled me completely even to the grave.
Best 3rd Party Performance (Individual): Azreal in Pirates (Honorable mention to Silver in Arkham as a weird sort of 3rd party)
Best Town Performance (Group): Friends and Enemies (Honorable mentions to Secret Neighbors, Prison Block, and Banned Mafia)
Friends and enemies had an awesome town showing. Just about everyone chipped in. The Masons were on point and used their sway really well, Vaimes and KJ did awesome work in the middle of the day together, and Rod persisted like crazy under pressure. Was a pleasure to part of this town and feel a group clicking on all cylinders like that against really solid scum play.
Best Mafia Performance (Group): Pirates Mafia (Honorable mention to Zero Escape)
Best Town Player: Rhand
Rhand just brings really sharp analysis every single game. He helped break Arkham wide open and was a threat to the mafia teams in almost every game he was in. I haven't checked the numbers but it felt like he was NK'd N1 often.
Best Mafia Player: Tomsloger
Zero Escape and Arkham were downright heroic efforts in losses.
He made games that should have been bloodbaths into real contests.
Best Overall Player: Azrael
Az didn't play in the most games this year but he was a major player in every game he was in. Him not getting mislynched in Zero Escape is still one of the upsets of the year in my book and his maneuvering in Pirates as a very tricky neutral was flawless. Combined with a solid performance in Banned Mafia his efficiency was off the charts despite a relatively small number of games played.
Best Newcomer: Sentenza
Most Entertaining Player: Tomsloger
Most Improved Player: KamikazeArchon
Mod Awards
Best Design: Prison Block Mafia
Best Flavor: Phantom Tollbooth, Arkham, and Banned are a dead heat to me. I'd rather abstain than choose one.
Best Role: My Janitor + day targeted reflector in Pirates
That's a joke serious answer is: Santa - Town Reviver
"Didn't I tell you? I'm Santa Claus. It's time for me to go make a wish come true."
Behind that rude and sarcastic attitude lies a lone wolf, who prefers to work alone.
Now, don't get fooled. People underestimate you at their own peril.
Most seem to forget that you are a successful stockbroker,
and you don't become one without brains.
Most people don't see you as a threat and just think you as a punk with loud mouth.
Let them think so. You can use that to your advantage, to surprise them when the time is right.
While your esper abilities aren't that strong, it doesn't matter to you.
It's not about how strong your abilities are, it's how you utilize them.
You have the following abilities:
Active Abilities:
Wish Come True (7): Target a dead town-aligned player. That player will be revived and both you and that player will gain the following passive ability:
The Most Important Person: When you die, each other player with this same ability dies with you.
You start the game with 4 BP.
You win when there are no threats remaining.
Best Read: Resistance or Friends and Enemies don't make me choose one (if I have to choose 1 it's F&E).

Work has been slow today and reading through old games to refresh my memory before voting has been fun.
