I disagree with the best newbie game town and mafia.

Just nominate them for best town or best mafia if they were extra-ordinarily, history-in-the-making games. There are 2 ICs in each newbe anyway. 3 out of 5 of the newbes don't stick around for more than a few months. Also, beginner's luck applies a lot more than really ingenious solid play from start to finish; remember that game where the town killed all the mafia in 3 pages without a single casualty ? Newbe games are training grounds, where the ICs focus on winning is deterred by their focus to show the newbes how to play and the social norms of MS. I don't think newbe games are all that memorable to MS as a whole, and there shouldn't be any awards for them. That's my take on it.

Thank you Maz Medias, my view entirely.

Farside, I don't think being on the site for 3 weeks and being a quick learner deserves 5 players an award. If they did really well, give them a best town award. No such thing as best newbe town.
