Someone needs to second my self-nom for best MishMash game, thank you.

I can nth that.

Although I was pretty shocked that Farside was town.

Maybe someday this will be updated D:

If it's not too late, I'd like to nominate the original Slavic Music Mafia for Game of the Year.

I don't think I've ever played a game quite like it, and the room mechanic made for one of the best games that I've ever played, as well as a playerbase filled with great players.

Seconding Drixx for Most Cunning Manipulator

At the very least, I've been constantly impressed with his scum-game.

Thanks Varsoon. Since my noms have no links or anything, I'll just summarize my scum games this year to make life easier for the people who will be evaluating all of the noms.

In completed solo games, I was assigned scum six times. I replaced out of one of them early because of a death in the family (that was close on the heels of another) and a ton of stress IRL. I was killed night 1 by the SK of another that ended abruptly on day one with a modkill right while I was pushing a slot as SK, so it makes sense the SK took me out. In a third game, I died to the other scum team on night two when investigating one of them (I think it was 1-time reflexive ability that got me). So those were pretty janky and I didn't really get much chance to actually play.

Actual games worth consideration:

#1 - My first game on site. I replaced into a slot being scum read, turned it around and we had a perfect scum win. Thread Here

#2 - SMITE. I replaced into this behemoth of a game in the 3rd day. The scum team was already down 3 members and the remaining scum were super demoralized and inactive; and I was stuck with a fake claim from the prior player on my slot... one which made the difficulty of me being the one to live to the end and win much more difficult than one of the other two alive when I replaced in, I think. I recall at one point in day 4, my two remaining scum partners were something like 18 and 22 days idle in the main game thread. Both had abilities which could have delayed or prevented their deaths, but didn't use them. There was also a mod confirmed town player who was resurrected and who I had to leave alone because targeting them with an ability reflexively roleblocked for the following 2 phases. There was also a point where town was questioning my claim and the timing of things, and I pointed town to the exact place where they could find the info to immediately realize I was scum, and that worked. It's a huge game that's up for GOTY already I think (sorry ahead of time for those evaluating it ... it's really long ... but was quite good), but the thread is here

#3 - Again I replaced into this game on day two at L-1. I managed to get out of hot water and help my partner pull out a perfect scum win. Thread here


I just realized that my best scum games are all ones I replaced into. Not sure what that means. In any case, I hope the links are helpful to those evaluating.

I guess I'll do this myself if this is a thing?

[RadiantCowbells]

All of my 9/0 scum wins are on my wiki.



I'd recommend looking at NY184 first but I'd also recommend Firebringer Mafia (1737), and Netherspite's SORM (NY1739x).

Nominate Postie for most cunning manipulator for Slavik Music Mafia II

Will write a proper explanation later but basically she lost her partner day one and then proceeded to fool every member of the town thus not getting scum read by A SINGLE one. This lead eventually to the towns loss in lylo.

2nd

I threw up when I found out she was scum.

[RadiantCowbells]

Maybe

Rising star for the same play

That's her first scum game!

Nominating Titus for Best Mafia Catcher

I could just dump a list of most of Titus' town games throughout the year, but I'll be a little more specific.

As an example, in Suikoden U-Pick, Titus was able to accurately town read very difficult to read players and organize them in order to run a gambit. She was 100% right on those town reads and helped synergize them in the first 48 hours of the game. By the time the gambit played out, Titus accurately had the entire scum team pegged. In fact, her listing of scum consisted only of the scum team and the mason pair who gave off some scum signals.

I've played in perhaps 8 games with Titus throughout the year, and read a few others. Her ability to consistently figure out people are town and PoE her way to figuring out scum, and to do it very rapidly, is super impressive. In all the games I've played on site since joining, I haven't seen a more accurate "Mafia Catcher" ... and it's not even close. Will provide more links and summaries if necessary.

Can I still second this?

2nd Titus nom.
