Mini 1995: The Absolute Worst Game Ever Run

[mastina]

(It was incredibly swingy, tho, not gonna deny that. )

[the worst]

that's probably a better way to put it, yeah.

I haven't exactly thought through any scenarios but it's definitely swingy

[TheGoldenParadox]

um

[TheGoldenParadox]

ok then
tbh i saw the thing and figured that it was exact votes then forgot this game existed
so um
i'll take the loss with grace
but mastina this wasn't the worst game ever. If you wanna know what was PM me.

[Vaxkiller]

Apparently lady luck favors the abomination.

lol

[Mathdino]

...it was drealmerz's game.

paradox we all know it was dreal's game lol

[Gamma Emerald]

[Mathdino]

if not then whoops i genuinely forgot i did that

lolhydra

lolhydra

I wish I could like posts. i swear its feature in this web thingy

[Mathdino]

I mean let's be honest guys deleting the role pm and then constructing elaborate lies to every other hydra member on what our role is and who knows what our role is
Assists the theme of this game

[the worst]

True

[TheGoldenParadox]

...it was drealmerz's game.

paradox we all know it was dreal's game lol

yeah thought so

[Momrangal]

I spent a bit of D1 not knowing who my partners was.

I even asked Mastina if i even get to know or if were all like traitors or summin

[mastina]

Oh yeah.
That is among my pet peeves.

I hate it when role PMs don't list scum partners.
I hate it when role PMs don't link to all threads the user has access to.
I hate it when role PMs don't link to the game thread.

So this game featured all three!

[TwoInAMillion]

This was not the worst game ever run. I feel cheated.

[mastina]

I TRIED

[Ginngie]

Well there’s your problem

[mastina]

By the way, someone discovered the dead thread for the game!

[Ginngie]

I did?

Awhile ago?

I linked all the threads lol

[mastina]

I did?
Awhile ago?
I linked all the threads lol

You linked the mafia thread and the mod thread, but those were the only two you linked to.
There is also a dead thread you did not link to.

[mastina]

Btw, if people want to continue to play in games of mine which use "what the fuck this is a terrible mechanic" ideas...next on my list to run is Succinct Mafia, a game which will use incredibly strict posting restrictions, limiting content you're able to post.

In many ways, it will be much, much better and saner than this game.

In other ways, it will probably end up being much, much worse than this game.
BUT.
At least you know EVERYTHING about the game going into it; there will be absolutely no surprises whatsoever because all the mechanics are laid out in advance so you know precisely what you're in for.

On that same vein,

concurrently to Succinct Mafia

, I will ALSO be running Lynch the Wolves. I'm estimating the review will be finished and signed off on in sub-72 hours, so the game's coming probably even faster than Succinct Mafia does and right now I've only got one prein so there's plenty of room.

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]
