It was basically a themed mini normal, but -blank- was a fantastic mod and the player list gelled incredibly well for both alignments. It was a tough game to solve thanks to the worst and errantparabola's antics, but town's cohesion pulled through; enough players were just obvtown enough that scum were stuck in the poe, which prompted them to pull a spectacularly successful distancing/bussing play that catapulted ep straight to mylo. If the order of the nks had been a little different, or nauci had slightly different targets at night, i think this was a scum win quite a lot of the time, but town just kinda *clicked* together, enabling us to solve it in the end. It was a really close game, and that made it that much more fun and exciting.
Obviously I'm a little biased because I was in it, and this game wasn't as complex or intricately-designed as some of the other games mentioned on this page, but when I look back at all the games I played or spectated this year, I think this was hands-down my favorite thanks to the amazing player list and awesome modding.
It was just a great, fun game, and if someone walked up to me and asked me what my favorite game was this year, I would point to this one: non-toxic, great pl, mechanics weren't overly complicated, and competitive, great play from both alignments
The winner of Game Of The Year for 2018 was:

Congrats Brass.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

Let's start with me being my normal jerky self. This should be "few".
Anyway, thanks everyone for all the support, I actually like prepared for this because I have a very set theory when I mod games. I just don't want to get in the way. So much respect goes to all the players on this, and I was extremely happy that everyone liked this game so much. Big thanks as well to HeWhoSwims, who was my co-mod, and insanity018 and lycanfire for the review.
And I'll put what people had to say behind this fancy spoiler button.Spoiler:
Anyway, since I promised I'd also do this. It's me, I'm the Game of the Year!I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.-

Brass you're a really cool person
I just want to let you know that
tbh a lot of my motivation for wanting to come back into modding came from making that poll and realizing that while 2018 is kinda important since we got so many new faces, and the type of new faces that are probably going to be what the generation after them looks up to. But aside from that, the year didn't stand out in terms of mafia.
But thats okay because I'm back, and while you deserved your W more then the other noms by far, I am going to help make sure that ywall have fun this year with mafia| here.GTKAS-

I was just surprised to be nominated in this category. I'm legitimately going to try to go out of the box a bit more, but still run games like this one at the same time.In post 10, Alisae wrote:Brass you're a really cool person

This is my favourite game I've ever been in.
I was the d3 lynch (as scum, my less preferred alignment by a mile at the time).
It was an absolute blast, some memorable moments like when Nauci(the birth of our friendship for sure. and I'd like to say rivalry but I don't think I can stand on such a high pedestal ) and neap cleared like every single VT in the game, skitter30's unstoppable logic, Mathdino's lit rapping self-PR, and last but absolutely not least, errantparabola's sensational fakeclaim/distancing gambit against me and the way she cashed in her towncred to slip from a losing position into MyLo.activated
realising that I was going down and having the opportunity to set her up to slide into the towncore was such a beautiful experience.
I'm getting nostalgic tho because we're talking about brass as a mod and the game design as well. It was just damn clever. It was a little on the role heavy side but only pleasantly so. The flavour was considered, and carefully constructed around roles in a way that very few mods are really capable of selling. (coming from someone who knows nothing about merry cans or presidance) brass was always attentive and fun as a mod, but still straddled the line between that and care. his VCs were also regular enough while using a surprisingly detailed template.
this was absolutely just one of those once a year or less games. the modding was good, the design was good, the player list was good, and I'm really excited and proud that it's won this scummy. thoroughly deserved.-

If he was around further into the year he likely would have, his ambition with e.g. Noir was brilliant as well just like real life is a whole thingIn post 14, Irrelephant11 wrote:
