(Also, LLD typoing Magna for Magua and thus dying as I killed her instead of making me kill myself is probably my fondest memory as a player.)-

Yep. And this is why the judges don't usually discuss what happened during judging.
Also, it seems the/a problem here is that Team Mafia was facing more innovative Mechanics, when its real strength was how Enjoyable it was. Did it get nominated for the other category? I'm posting from my phone and can't easily check.Retired as of October 2014.-

Oh crap, the 3rd Seal of the Apocalypse has been broken ... Reck and MoI agree.
In all seriousness I don't think it is bad that Magua won for his game. I don't think it would be bad if Team Mafia would have won. I believe that Cyclical really is something special as far as changing the dynamics of how Mafia is played and kunkstar really deserves recognition for his path-finding in that regard.
FF6 Mafia featured a varient of the system whereby most 'powers' in the game were passed back and forth between players based on the lynches / Nightkills."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"
Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.-

to be fair, that's why i went via PM at first.
anyway, as nothing like it had been done before, I wouldn't call it less innovative than the others. Innovation and complexity arenotthe same thing, and I think we do a disservice when we pretend they are. But regardless, it was not nominated for any other category (town of psychic was nominated and reck won his body of work award in no small part because of his performance there, but team mafia as a whole was not). I think smooth operator and enjoyable game are both categories it could have been nominated for, and some argument for best setup could be made (though I think that would be a big stretch of the term "setup").
But I think mechanic still fits it best because theideaof it and the execution of that idea are the things that really deserved recognition, not just how the game was run smoothly and players had fun (plus, 52+ players receiving a single scummy is probably not ideal).

And I think it's not a bad thing to analyze the scummies. These are community awards. How we understand them as a community makes a difference..-

A PM goes a long way to reminding someone they should get in a game
-sorry I was away I did a marathon of intense games leading up to the crash and it burnt me out so I needed a break.Scum:nk bastion cos he is never being lynched imo.
I don't honestly think Sir Bastion is a PR, he's too outspoken for it. But he's also a pain in the ass.-
