Newbie 1860 - Game Over

[MagikHorse]

I legit had no clue who was in what slot at the end of the game. I couldn't keep my reads straight.

My head in a nutshell.

No wonder why I was "fencesitting" eh?

[The Vortigaunt]

Haha yeah GG scum. I have played one other game with Guilty and I can honestly not see a difference between town and scum Guilty. Probably good I got lynched first cuz I wouldn't have caught either of you.

Wilky, you did amazingly well at staying under the radar and sounding Townie for most of the game. You kind of burned that up with post 627 to the point where I strongly debated calling you as the scumbuddy off of it when I was writing 629 though, so you might wanna keep an eye out there to avoid making really silly looking accusations. Seriously, I had either brought up everything there already or there was nothing to bring up at all, and in every case I had already said something about that elsewhere. On top of that, it sounded like you were siding with Not_Mafia and calling him out in the same post, which just sounded really weird to me.

GuiltyLion was always gonna be a hard read. Not disappointed to miss that one.

I'm honestly upset by Not_Mafia though. I'm not sure if he was just trolling or whether there was actually some sort of strategy to being that anti-Town, but I for one really want to know just what the heck your plan was supposed to be.

I mean as town I would have made the exact same post as one post looked really scummy and the other was a good point. The reason you would have argued me as partner is because I went after you in that post and either way, NM would have been lynch today and then what? I couldn't be partner.

Furthermore, there was 2 votes on NM already that weren't going anywhere so all me and Guilty had to do was co-ordinate times and the win was ours.

[MagikHorse]

And you casually missed the part where everything had already been spoken and responded to that had anything to actually respond with, which makes all those points redundant. Besides, what else would you expect me to see in that but scum, given that it came off incredibly biased in Not_Mafia's favor? As I was reading Not_Mafia as hard scum, awkwardly attacking him and defending him by attacking me is only going to make you look like scum.

If you think the whole reason behind it was OMGUS, you're mistaken on that. I've said not once, not twice, but 3 times this game that I don't vote OMGUS. If I vote someone, it's because I have a reason to it, regardless of their stance on me.

It doesn't change the outcome anyways as you got the quickhammer off, I'm just sayin' that was still a really shoddy argument. I'm trying to help you figure out what made it come off as suspicious to help you grow. If you don't want to do that, that's your choice.

Congratulations to the victors!

The game has drawn to a close, the jig is up! Some of you have lost, but others have won!

Take a few days, think about the game. Recognize what was best in your teammates and opponents, and consider nominating them for a Scummy! Players and mods in this game may be eligible for one of the following awards:

BODY OF WORK AWARDS

Best Mafia Catcher

: Also known as the Paragon of Mafia Hunters, this award is given to the single town player who, across all of their games for the year, exhibited the best ability for nailing those dirty scumbags and bringing the bad guys to justice while playing as a pro-town role.

Rising Star

: This award is given to the player that is a rising star in the game of mafia, showing great promise to join the elite echelon of mafia players. This award replaces both the Best Newbie award and Most Improved Player awards, and judges may consider elements of both those previous awards in deciding this award.

Excellent Moderation

: Also known as the “The Modfather” Award. This award is given to the moderator who, over the course of the past year, exemplifies the best qualities of a moderator in the operation of the game, including but not limited to quality and frequency of vote counts, organization of the game, dealing with issues that arise, keeping players active, and so forth. Judges may consider how challenging the games a moderator ran were, but they shall not penalize a moderator for only running more basic games. A mod must run at least 3 games to completion in the calendar year to be considered for this award.

SINGLE GAME - PLAYER

Most Cunning Manipulator

: Also known as the “Don Corleone” Award. Awarded to the player who has the strongest single game performance as mafia. In rare cases, where a player feels an entire scumteam gelled to create a strong cohesive scum performance, multiple members of a team may be nominated.

Best Performance Third Party

: Also known as the “Hannibal Lecter” Award. Awarded to the player or players that performed the most impressively in winning their game as a third party.

Most Memorable Event

: Also known as the “Kodak Moment” Award. Awarded to the player or players who were involved in the most memorable event in a game of mafia. Fake claims, funny claims, awesome exchanges, etc. may all be considered for this award

SINGLE GAME - MODERATOR

Best Setup

: Also known as the “Rube Goldberg” Award. Given to the moderator who designed the best setup. Judges may consider the roles involved in a game, how those roles interacted, how balanced a setup was, whether it furthered any particular theme, how the setup interacts with a mechanic, or any other factors the judges deem relevant. This award is distinct, however, from the “Best Mechanic” award in that it does not consider how good or bad any change to the basic way a Mafia game is played.

Best Flavor Text

: Also known as the “Paperback Writer” Award. Given to the moderator who wrote the most compelling flavor text. Judges should consider the flavor text of all parts of the game, including Role PMs and Day/Night scenes. Where appropriate, Judges may consider how well the flavor works with the announced theme.

Best Mechanic/Mutation

: Also known as the "Mad Scientist” Award. Given to the moderator who figured out the most compelling way to change the basic mechanics of the game of mafia, and/or created the most compelling new role or adaptation to increase player enjoyment. Judges shall consider both the basic idea behind the game as well as how well it was executed, and the uniqueness and quality of the role/adaptation.

SITE AWARDS

Game of the Year

: Also known as the “Player’s Choice” Award. This award is given to the moderator of a game. It is given in recognition of the overall excellence of a game. The Game of the Year award is a "catch all" award for the best overall game throughout the entire year, considering all aspects of the game from moderator quality, to the excellent design and composition of the game, to the performance and cohesion of the playerlist. A Game of the Year is meant to be the game that we can all point to later and say "This game was the best game the site could offer that year in terms of Design, Playerlist, and moderating capability." This is a PUBLIC VOTE. [/color]
