Sorry, there are no fun people left to play mafia with.

Pedit: Best Replacement/White Knight is one of the new awards this year!
I'm just going to award it to the worst myself, then.

Here is your award, the worst.

How do I nom brassherald's entire account for post of the year? :thinking:

With Stellaris & Boon's game finishing almost simultaneously, there should be a fair few quality noms. I'll keep my eyes on what's submitted and drop in anything else I catch. :P

pedit: yes pls

I wonder if it's worth splitting best newbie/most improved?

Sorry, I know a lot of work has been done to the awards already for 2019.

mastina and pine were both in from the start and aren't eligible for a white knight nom.

moment of brilliance for the entire dead thread is markedly better than the individual nom imo (jjh/DEB's gambit, FL's fake guilty & agenda against you guys as town, all the townies who contributed to solving in there). there's a lot of quality material. mastina/Pine coming in with a cool calm collected correct solve at endgame was bloody awesome, but was just a part of the greater whole. :)

Pine
Menalque
Menalque is a splendid example of a Rising Star candidate. Although he is new to our community as of this summer, only a few months later he has already made a significant and favorable impression. I had the distinct pleasure of playing with him in two of his first games on Mafiascum - in Newbie 1934: Tundra as an opponent and in Pokemon Ruby as his mentor in scum tactics. He has the rare talent of both standing out as obvious Town when he is and blending into the background when he is scum, while still not giving ground on a meta front. On top of that, he is a pleasure to play with, both against and in concert, and has seamlessly joined our wider community. Finally, in Alisae V Pine, Menalque gamely stepped up to the plate against some of MafiaScum's most experienced players and acquitted himself adroitly and with class. Welcome, Menalque!

Ha! Beat you to it on one count.

i'll do a writeup for paragon-ank if needed; the only point i can think of against her is that she's so scary scum tend to kill her before she can correctly paragonify games

Enthusiastically nth skitt.

My only hesitation with her picking up DC2018 was that it implied a disservice to her towngame. Her play as both alignments has only got stronger over the last year, but I think the skyscraping heights of her recent townplay deserve serious recongition.

I was kinda pondering and I think skitter's scumplay may have improved more than her townplay this year...? but I think her towngame is holistically more impressive. rising star good nom I think!

Skyg also modded a tonne of super cool games in one huge bash when she had some more time/less big irl pressure - she was a Big Presence mod for about half this year. Nsg is definitely more of a quieter achiever - she's modded several opens which are just stunningly presented and very well modded. But she's kinda done it one at a time across the year.

They're good competing noms imo

I think Plot needs a modfather nom this year as well the dialogue around his contributions last year was eye opening.

my suggestion was more due to forgetting about community contributor tbh
i don't think the length of his service means that we're doing a disservice to his previous work by acknowledging him in 2019. but on other fronts, point taken and i agree.

I'd probably say moment of brilliance

it has less pizzazz at surface level but the way he effectively went "we're doing this my way and despite me having an easy path to exiting the game and letting you poor suckers sort out f3, I'm going to force a de facto win in f4" was more of a Big Play than a strategic play, I think.
