Like I get the community but if it’s the 11th hour and people are having trouble finding games to use as a basis you might be better off saving your time and just enjoying nye :/
Do you mean games she played well even though she lost?
I don't really understand Ank's towngame and am not at the front of the line to nth it but I felt like I liked her play more in AvP than Starry Night.

"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

Starry Night is an entry in FakeGod's Dance Game series, a set of games where players form partnerships that live and die together. However, thanks to a small mechanic added in that allows any player to forcibly remove themselves and their partner from the game, dance games tend to be total chaos with the game depending more on whether town can leave on their scum partners faster than they can fall apart and lose themselves the game.
However, Starry Night was different. The game, while chaotic as this setup tends to go, was a lot more grounded in playing like a mafia game rather than a typical dance game. It played at a breakneck speed and ballooned into a behemoth, hitting nearly 200 pages over its 10 day run. Only two pairings left the dance all game, both of which were in the second half. This by itself is impressive considering that most dance games played rarely ever make it to a lynch at all, but it really showed that even with how much tension there was in the game, the town faction was more focused on winning rather than forcing their own hand. This reflects in the fact that even the least active players was averaging more than 10 posts a day in their time within the game, with overall activity and interest across the entire playerlist being impressively high.
Throughout all of this, FakeGod was always there when he was needed, allowing the momentum to continue when otherwise it would have likely stopped and devolved into a standard leavefest that these setups tend to devolve into. He kept up with the chaos and gave updates, flips, and vote counts consistently when we needed them. FakeGod's modding quality isn't unknown on the site, but this performance isn't to be undervalued in how the game shaped up in the end.
This isn't necessarily scummy worthy by itself, however. The one final piece that makes it stand out in my mind is that despite the town faction having its most major disadvantage nullified, it was always anyone's game up until the very end. The final remaining scum played so well that the only real suspicion against them was paranoia, and even the dead thread was almost entirely convinced that they were town. The only reason they lost was because town held back from taking action until it was very obvious that one of the other pairings was an all town pairing.
Ultimately, I think this game is worthy of a scummy nomination by a combination of the relative activity and interest of the playerlist in the outcome of the game, the temptation and relative ease of being able to derail the game into a giant mess being denied, the game not having a clear winning side until the very end, and the quality of modding behind it.
I dunno what the restrictions on rising star are but I wanna nom pops for rising star even though she's bounced in and out of the site for a long time but she had a good year. This is a sentence.
I kinda feel like I should nom Alch for Don Corleone but I'm not sure if some of the games I'm thinking of were from last year and I'm too lazy to check right now.
