Bullshit!

Am I doing it right?

Am I doing it right?

You remind me of my daughter. The joke would have been perfect if you left it at the first post. You had to add the extra.

She will say something funny, we will laugh and she tries to repeat it to make us laugh again.

[Prof Fridays]

D'awww <3

[Marquis]

Juls that's amazing your family is so cuteeeee <3

[Prof Fridays]

Well, I'm glad I could be so cute as to remind you of your daughter, Juls

[Juls]

My completely jaded mind is trying to figure out if marquis is making fun or being sincere. Either way, I love my kids and never give up an opportunity to talk about them!

[Marquis]

sincere! I know it's hard to convey on the internet but I'm actually not that horrible of a person~

[Prof Fridays]

I can vouch for him. Last Christmas, I gave him my heart again, but he waited until the 27th to give it away that time.

[Marquis]

only because you're slightly more adorable than most people!

[Aronis]

Nominate bjc for Best Mafia Catcher due to his performance in Mini 1589

[Beck]

I thought these awards are for body of work?

If nominating for a single game is acceptable I think Natarisha deserves cunning manipulator award for Aronis's game. Losing both partners on day 1 and still pulling out the win is pretty impressive

Best town/mafia catcher are body of work awards, yes.

[Psyche]

noms often begin for occasions usually rather than bodies you see thereabouts somehow

[xRECKONERx]

They're Body of Work, which means they can't be judged until end of year because ALL games by that player as that alignment will be taken into account... but typically, people nominate someone off of just one game.

Nominating Organic Chemistry for

Most Memorable Moment

Sonic's wording might not be great, but the nomination I assure you is. Let's run some math, shall we? 11 alive, four scum.

The chances of a tracker correctly tracking the correct scum to the nightkill? 1/10. As said in the game thread, tracker is not a very strong town role, because you NOT ONLY have to track scum, but ALSO the CORRECT scum.
9 alive, three scum. Chances of the tracker correctly tracking the correct scum to the nightkill? 1/8.
7 alive, two scum. Chances of the tracker correctly tracking the correct scum to the nightkill? 1/6.

Chances of that happening THREE TIMES IN A ROW?

.21%. Not 21%. POINT 21%. As in, 1/480. The odds were astronomically low, and yet, everything lined up JUST perfectly enough to make it happen. Scum send a different player, town tracking a different player, if any single factor was altered, those results wouldn't have been possible. And yet, there they were. Astronomically-low odds, with everything happening consecutively, one falling after another. It was really the turning point in the game.

So,

Second

Oh, and

Nominate that same game for Game of the Year

.

Both sides played solidly. Town had basically spot-on usage of their town PRs. The tracker above is one example, sure, yeah, but throughout the whole game, they had rather good usage of the inventions in the game. Furthermore, while they ultimately used roles to turn the game around, the simple fact is that a lot of the town players had really good reads. (Especially after D1.) The only reason it took so long for them to win? Because the scum played a really, really, REALLY solid game. Metal Sonic was in top form, coaching his scumteam the entire time. pirate mollie, ZZZX, and PeregrineV all did awesomely. Heck, that all D1 wagons were all-town shows how well they managed to subvert VCA. They played a solid day game and a decent night game, just as the town played a decent day game and a solid night game. The game easily could have gone either way at multiple points in the game, and was a real thrill ride. Solid modding by Antihero, too, with a fun, innovative, yet simple setup, and really informative with the flavor. Can't really ask for more in a game.

Yay for Mastin noms.

Are hydras allowed to be nominated?

Hydras have won scummies before.

Things are changing. The odds of that happening are very slim.

People don't usually win Scummies for Normal games.
