RedFlavor

was lynched. He was a

Mafia Unlyncher

, targeting

Not_Mafia

.

The town of

Taroumaru

,

Not_Mafia

, and

chesskid3

wins!


No private thread releases are coming because there weren't any (1-day setups with only 1 scum, and thus no private communication, are weird like that).

[chesskid3]

WOOOOO

[Not_Mafia]

lol @ choosing me as Unlyncher

[Taroumaru]

Victory

[callforjudgement]

By the way, I was very impressed with town this game. The play standard was higher than, I suspect, many of the WotCers in the queue thread were predicting.

I'll probably run this again some time, but not immediately. (I have no concerns about the setup, so if someone else wants to moderate it, I'd have no objections.)

[chesskid3]

very impressed by not mafia this game

[RedFlavor]

I lost the hammer 2 times


I suck

[chesskid3]

you only had it for a matter of seconds each time

[Not_Mafia]

It'd be cool to see a bigger version of this with groupscum

[callforjudgement]

The original idea was to run it bigger but there was a lot of debate about what the best faction sizes were. mith pointed out that it worked as a Tiny game too, so I thought I'd run it like that to put something in the queue and to make sure the mechanic worked (also, because I thought it'd be a fun and balanced way to do a 4p and we don't have many setups that size).

I'd like to run a bigger version, though! There have been suggestions for 3:2, 5:2, 6:2, 6:3, 8:3, and 9:4, so the main problem is just getting the numbers right.

[northsidegal]

very impressed with town overall this game, well played. glad the idea of deliberately trying to lynch the lynchpin seemed to get discarded – that really doesn't seem like a useful line of thought to follow.

i've been following the setup thread as well and i'm definitely interested for when it runs as a larger game.

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]
