1) By "judges," I assume he just meant those separate ones judging that category.
2) I assume that he's saying it has a sequel because it was popular, therefore it was a good game.
Yes and yes.

I have never really had much interest in MishMash games, but I stumbled onto Planet Mafiascum by something Xalxe posted, I think, and ended up wasting a shit ton of time reading how everything worked, how everything happened. What izak basically created with Planet Mafiascum was this sandbox game where people can do whatever they want and create their own world through their actions, and it's just really, really awesome. Just, wow.

I dunno about that. Unless you consistently play with the same people over and over or have a stalker, there's usually nobody around to notice when you have a fantastic stretch of games that might be worthy of a body of work award.

That said, I disagree with most of Xalxe's nominations. I actually think this year was fairly tame in terms of amazing new games.
I actually had two more on my list that I cut because I felt these were better.

Matt deserves this award. He is an amazing player who has the potential to lead a whole town team or a whole scum team through his own peculiar but very effective and keen methods.

One of the longer mish mash games (I think it was 60 pages), a game that had to keep track of a lot of different actions as 8 people played, and just flowed smoothly. The game itself was fun to play as shown by two more got created (one during it, while the second not long after it).

This was an open-ended game the likes of which we're never going to see again (until the sequel). First of its kind, players took control of countries, and did...well, basically, whatever the fuck they wanted. The game
lasted for over a year and would still be going today if not for the Rollback.
The truly impressive thing about it is that everything behind the scenes was controlled and regulated. izak wasn't making shit up as he went, there were formulas, tables and other smartness to actually simulate things, which is just mind-boggling.
Blatant lies, the original Order 66 was slated for May 2nd 2012 (which also would have been the one year mark).
Also Nth
Btw does Robo battle (by zoraster) count for 2012? I'm pretty sure it continued into 2012, but it has no posts after rollback.
I appreciate it (and do plan to figure out a way to revive the game in a more playable version), but to be fair, Robobattle's best days by far were in 2011, not 2012.
