2018 Mafia Awards Thread
2017 was a great year for mafia. With a wave of promising new players and the return of many of our veteran players the forum experienced some of the craziest game setups, great individual and team performances, terrible individual and team performances (we still love you), and more mason claim problems than ever before. Here is hoping to a great 2018 year of Mafia in Liquidia. This intro paragraph was totally not stolen from the previous four years.

Nominating darthfoley for Funniest Moment for his poor choice of words :D
Nominating Mocsta for Best Individual Mafia Performance in NSM28. Though it was a losing effort, he overcame a night 1 vig shot, an early scum lynch, and two veteran town replacements to make it to lylo. A log of his thought process and planning can be found here: https://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/Wi9MRz5xcsur4
Also +1 for JAT

I will second darthfoley, that was quite funny given he was bussing me!
thanks for the nom kita, appreciate it.

Second Mocsta. And df also deserves it ;D

Second. Although the mafia team should get a "worst mafia team performance" award.

I would second a worst mafia team performance award if it existed. And, frankly, it's also why I'd never vote this town for the first award. Not because they didn't play well, but because we didn't raise the bar high enough.

Not because they didn't play well, but because we didn't raise the bar high enough. I personally don't think any of the nominations for best play here are good enough to actually be reasonable nominations except for Damdred's all mafia call D1, Holyflare only casing and voting for mafia and town play in last game because i believe the nominations should be something extraordinary.
regardless of how well or bad Damdred explained his reads calling out the whole mafia team on D1 IS something extraordinary.
Holyflare the same.
The town play last game because if we lynched any mafia in different order i believe the game would have looked veeeery different. If you were for example lynched D1 suddenly mderg and Damdred look way better. If you were not lynched D2, and Damdred instead, i don't believe anyone would have considered you mafia anymore at least until lylo. Town did the right things in right order.
I don't think jat or Mocsta deserves a nomination. It is not because i think they didn't play well but as i said i think they didn't play extraordinary well. Mocsta would have, unless he hadn't killed mderg last night, that was definitely a mistake that lost him the game. JAT played the Damerion day really really well, almost perfectly, same with lylo. But then again he mislynched two townies in the meantime and it's not like he was even set on Mocsta being mafia (correct me if i am wrong here) until mderg died.

Last year we had literally 0 nominations for best team town performance. I think it's fine to discuss whether or not a nomination is worthy of winning, but I'd rather have several debatable nominations and leave it to a vote, rather than having little to no nominations at all.
|
Yeah i wasn't saying those nominations should be removed. I was just giving my opinion and after al lthe rules are afaik that if someone seconds the nomination then it's a nomination regardless of what others think. After all it's been voted at the end of year. I haven't given this nomination thing much thought since some year i dont remember where people made imo absolutely absurd choices in voting.

Could we perhaps have a nomination of Conversion of most improved player XD.

I mean I guess I see what you're saying... but that wasn't what happened. We voted in the right order and won in a flawless victory. And it wasn't even really that hard.
D1 = only two viable lynch wagons are both mafia D2 = only two viable lynch wagons were scum vs. scum D3 = last minute shenannies to kill the last mafia, who was the second most vote getting on D2
Like I cannot see how you don't find that extraordinary. I have played mafia on TL for 3 years now, and I have never seen such a dominant game from town. At least not one that I've played in.

I don't understand, i found that extraordinary.

Oh I misunderstood. Thought you were trying to group that with the "decent but not great" plays. My bad

Also not advocating removing nominations.
Ftr Joni/DF I'm not trying to take anything away from town last game. You guys definitely played well. I just see good town play as being more about overcoming obstacles and lynching hard to catch scummers than having perfect games against weak scum teams. Also about showing yourself town rather than just having correct reads without convincing people.
It's an ideological disagreement more than anything.
You guys definitely had a great town game.

I see rayn is trying to steal my drama queen award.
