2023/03/19 | DragonEater70 | Korina | Weird Dreams Mafia | This game had such amazingly done mechanics, it was actually incredible. FIrst of all, the Nightmare mechanic was just fantastic. It was so fun having a PT to get voted into and to do speculation of what invention would be best to give, but none of the inventions felt over- or under-powered. Second, the Falsely Prophetic Fridge was such a cool bastard concept. Like it was such an awesome source of misinformation. It's a real shame the game got thrown, but I think Korina does deserve the award. I would love to play another game with similar mechanics so much! |

Don Corleone 2023/11/09DragonEater70 Flavor Leaf I'm nominating Flavor Leaf for two amazing, back-to-back scum wins, where he made himself practically conf town despite being scum.
In Micro Normal 1092, Flavor Leaf crumbed a role he didn't have since the beginning of Day 1, faked a soft inno, and then killed his inno to secure the claim's success. Additionally he masterfully pushed a mislim through on Day 2 in a way that looked like he was just tunneled town, and did it quickly enough so that the pocketed inno won't turn on him.
In Large Normal 245, Flavor Leaf rolled a rolecop traitor. He rolecopped Dannflor the Gunsmith, divined who he had a guilty on before he even said a word, and fakeclaimed a guilty on his scum partner. In his own words, he YOINKED the guilty from Dannflor. Then Flavor Leaf basically spent the rest of the game riding on the towncred of bussing his own partner, and every time a townie would start to suspect him, he would get them limmed. As several players noted, the game basically operated on a "townread Flavor Leaf or die" basis.

Nth Aristeia, I was actually thinking about nomming her but didn't know what to write so I just waited for someone else to do it.
I think this quote from Friends and Enemies summarizes her town play this year pretty well though:

I heard a lot of good things about him but somehow I always miss all the games he's in, so I got no clue. But anyway if you think that, you should probably nominate him.-

According to the description of the award, yes.In post 109, Flavor Leaf wrote: What is like the overall feel for Rising Star noms?
I feel like Hu Tao and Black are like the premiere Rookie Year Rising Star candidates
But in the scenario someone’s been here for a couple years, but they showed out truly this year, would we think that qualifies?-

Really the only mark I would give against my scum year was on Night 5 in Pokemon, we hit an unclaimed BP, and used strongman before. Was going for a perfect game, but I said from the beginning, if any of us were to go down, I would go down for the team, and setup the Plan B in fading Not Mafia who I created connections with.
The Plan B got a little scary at times, but it did go off as planned after.
Risked it for the biscuit with Plan A perfect game in a large, and day play wise, we got it-

The Modfather 2023/11/20DragonEater70 Alianna Let's start with some stats!
Did you know that in 2023, Alianna modded or co-modded 6 Newbie games? That's a THIRD of all Newbie games that were run this year.
She also modded 5 Open games in 2023.
She ALSO modded and backup/co-modded quite a few Normal games (more on this later).
Alianna constantly has at least one game running at every point in time, and she often has two (or more, if you consider games she's backup modding). This is a great contribution to the site in terms of moderation.
Putting the stats aside for a second, Alianna's moderation is of very high quality. Her games run smoothly, she's dedicated to doing her mod duties even when real life gets in the way, and there's a VC every pagetop (okay, maybe not EVERY pagetop). Notably, she managed to run a Newbie game with ten replacements (a huge number considering a Newbie game only has 9 players), and run it smoothly.
Oh, and did I mention how her dedication to modding goes beyond her own games? Every time I asked her to be a backup mod, she said yes with no hesitation. I think that's pretty cool.
That's 1/2 Modfather noms.
Oh and Alianna, I'm going to read your mind again and say that you are welcome for the ego boost.Last edited by DragonEater70 on Tue Nov 21, 2023 8:48 am, edited 1 time in total.-

I have yet to recover from this attack, but I decided it is time to retaliate!In post 131, Dannflor wrote:Rising Star 2023/11/21 Dannflor DragonEater70 DragonEater70 has an unmatched enthusiasm for the game of mafia and the site in general. He's been actively involved in discussions about changes to normal games, has modded several games, and shown competence in his gameplay since joining the site in February.

Paragon of Mafia Hunters 2023/11/21DragonEater70 Dannflor There are quite a few players on MafiaScum that play the town alignment well, but what really stands out to me about Dannflor is the totalwith which he catches scum.ease
It has become almost routine for him to replace into a game, ask a question or two, and thenplace a vote on scum and lead a successful elimination on the scum slot. Examples: 1, 2 (Sorry for exposing your not-so-secret alt btw). I mean it's crazy that I can just easily find two different games where Dannflor has a single vote in his ISO and it's a vote on scum that was eliminated in that day phase.casually
More damning evidence about Dannflor being too good at hunting scum includes Large Normal 245 where Gunsmith!Dann was deciding between two scum to investigate on Night 1 (Smiley and Random Nurse), and then again deciding between the two remaining groupscum on Night 2... Do I need to say more??? Like seriously, I have no clue how he does it but it's absolutely insane.
Addition: In Swinger's Hall, Dann basically stopped a miselim on Klick and had a 4 person PoE that included all 3 scum.Last edited by DragonEater70 on Thu Nov 23, 2023 7:38 am, edited 1 time in total.-

Nth Black for Don Corleone
Nth Ausuka for Community Contributor
Nth Dunnstral + GuiltyLion for Goodfellas
Nth Prism for Game of the Year
Also I should really read Secrets of the Anuket Topaz, apparently Snivy had a top notch scum game there.-

Kodak Moment 2023/12/09 DragonEater70 Ircher, Doctor Drew DEFCON 6.0 In this game, everyone thought Doctor Drew was obvtown after he successfully nuked T3, the mafia's deepwolf. Everyone, except Ircher.
Ircher, who was consensus scum, decided to nuke Doctor Drew despite being told repeatedly that Drew was town, and asked to cancel the nuke. Ircher, despite getting scumread for it, adamantly continued with nuking Drew - who then turned out to be mafia!
Oh yeah, and Ircher who was 3p did it because he needed to get rid of some towny people who would never be shot!-

Here is 1 notable example other people can write more and add more than I'm willing to.
game - wins game page 1 by forcing a tvt. this tvt eventually leads into very quick game win.
A good example of both these points is his play in Don't Fall In The Volcano!Last edited by DragonEater70 on Sat Dec 23, 2023 5:13 pm, edited 2 times in total.-

3.
Paperback Writer 2023/12/24This is definitely, one hundred percent, the best and most enjoyable flavor I've had in a Mafia game ever. I literally called Aureal a queen in my first post for making this game. I mean, who WOULDN'T want to be a volcano gladiator???
I lowkey want to nominate this for Game of the Year because of the excellent modding and amazing playerlist, as well as it's being one of my favorite setups (all of which are criteria for Game of the Year), but I'd feel kinda guilty if I nommed a NewD3 for GOTY so I won't do this UNLESS someone else tells me it's socially acceptable to nominate NewD3 for GOTY.-

Game of the Year 2023/12/24This nom is slightly tongue-in-cheek (in the cheeky/flippant sense, not in the sarcastic sense), but bear with me.
Why does this game deserve the Game of the Year award?
1. Setup: this game was NewD3 which isindisputablythe best setup on MafiaScum.net
/half-serious
2. Mods: great mods which I felt put in effort to make the game run well and who I enjoyed as mods.
3. Flavor: This game's flavor is definitely, one hundred percent, the best and most enjoyable flavor I've had in a Mafia game ever. I literally called Aureal a queen in my first post for making this game. I mean, who WOULDN'T want to be a volcano gladiator??? The commentary by the show's hosts was very well written and funny as well.
4. Playerlist and gameplay: this game definitely had a hype playerlist with 2 Paragon nominees and a Don Corleone nominee, as well as some other cool people (including 2 site newbies and a long time returning player). It definitely did not disappoint - action started early in Day 1 and continued throughout nonstop. The cohesion of the town was remarkable, with most town players being able to find each other and shrink the PoE, resulting in a smooth elimination of scum on Day 1.
The game ended up being a mechanical win, but I want to stress that the way I see it, by the end of Day 1 a town victory was simply impossible to prevent even if the game had magically become mountainous, due to how confident town was in their reads of one another.-

Kodak Moment 2023/11/28 DragonEater70 JacksonVirgo, Random Nurse, Enchant, pretty much the entire playerlist (and the mod) of Large Normal 244 Large Normal 244 Technically, this is not the correct use of the Kodak Moment award, since it's supposed to be given for the most memorable moment. The thing is, and I'm sure a lot of people would agree, this game had A LOT of very memorable moments.
Some ridiculous, some funny, some depressing and some just chill.
Let's start with Day 2. JacksonVirgo, a member of the town, decided to fake claim a guilty on Psyche for no reason whatsoever. And then they refused to withdraw the claim. The result? Psyche, a town vig, eliminated Day 2 (later on it turned out to be a possibly game-winning move, since it prevented vigging the town Jailkeeper).
Day 3, Random Nurse sees that Save The Dragons has claimed ungated Roleblocker. Except a dead player is already an ungated Roleblocker. RN flips out and powerpushes STD... who was exactly what he claimed to be. Then Random Nurse posts this beauty blaming the horrible setup design.
Day 4, Enchant, a Vanilla Townie, declares intent to hammer CSF (a person who they pushed as scum, and who is actually scum). Time comes to hammer, Enchant posts this.
There are a lot more gems like Random Nurse being Batman or video game talk in twilight or the mod trolling the players or the worst desperately trying to signal to pisskop, and I unfortunately cannot list all of them. Nevertheless this is a great game to remember.-
