http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=358346 Reading this game, you get the feeling that Town never had a chance to begin with, due to the lurking, the townies acting emotionally and lashing out at each other, and the general lack of scumhunting. However, a few things are notable about his play, beside the fact that nobody got a solid scumread on him. He directed the Mafia NKs with unerring accuracy. He shot Marvellosity the Watcher N1, correctly reading him not only as Blue, but as the Watcher. This did the double duty of killing town's best scumhunter (who wasn't protected after taking some heat N1) and also killing off a blue. Sciberbia, the other townie who was contributing, was shot N2-- DYH rightly guessed he'd been protected N1-- and the rest of the game devolved from there, even though town lynched a lurking prplhz D2. Town was a lurkfest, but it was a lurkfest that was characterized by the best scumhunters getting all shot in the initial nights. By the time Keirathi was shot (the last productive townie), the town atmosphere had degraded a great deal. Your average townie can definitely recognize a good case when it comes, but in an environment of insults, swearing, lurking and depression, town needed a leader to pull them through, and up until the very end everyone's theories (including those of the Obs QT, such as it was) included DYH as town. In any case, I think it was a well-played scum game, and although someone may outplay him between now and the end of the year. DYH deserves the nomination. It might have seemed easy, but town DID lynch scum D2, and the atmosphere that inhibited scumhunting was fostered by DYH's moderate thread presence and excellent NKs. Ange777 for Most Impressive Newbie in NMM XXII http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=353315 Considered a nomination for best town play but I figured it was a newbie game, so yeah. Ange777 rolled doc and saved a Mason N1, then hunted scum for the rest of the game amazingly effectively. She wrestled with the unbelievably aggressive JH and managed to not mislynch him after he spent most the game cursing at the town and calling them all morons, and caught the scumslips and mistakes of all the remaining players. She was so townie that scum couldn't afford to shoot her or Shady, and her crumbs were never caught. She successfully played what would have, on its own, been an amazing VT game, and as a Doctor was superb. She strongly suspected Zorkmid and pushed him all of Day 3, convincing townie after townie and finally forcing scum to tip their hand and eventually execute a hastily-assembled bus at the last minute. Day 4, she realized the possibility of the insanely abrasive JH being town, and successfully fended of a series powerful attacks by DP, eventually pushing him as scum, gathering votes from a reluctant and angry town that wanted nothing more than to lynch the guy flaming them, and lynched him, essentially outing Alan as the final scum in the process. A good scumhunting performance, and an even better one of writing cases and convincing reluctant townies to join her wagons. Doing all this as a doctor and saving a mason N1 was really quite impressive. Eventually, scum just had no winning moves left. Hapahauli for Best Plan in Witchcraft Mini Mafia http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=386816 Hapahauli figured out how to use Witchcraft's voting system to confirm townies when there's only one witch being elected and everyone does as they're told. As the final days rolled around, the two scum players, Kushm4sta and Djodref, were bussing really well and nobody had both of them on their scumlists. It looked like one would flip and the other would survive to the end, winning. Hapa understood the voting system and found out that by having several players tie, and by making everyone vote in a certain order, you could tell who was able to vote (townies) and who was faking it (scum). Basically, it's a secret plurality vote that scum can't take part in, so if you have player A vote for player D, then B vote for C, etc, if D gains powers, A is town since D and C both received one vote and D was voted on first. IF D doesn't gain powers and C does, A is scum and B is town since A's vote didn't work, and so on. Although JieXian didn't follow the plan properly, it still worked well enough to win the game for town when it looked like scum was in a dominating position. Hapa also was a good town leader, scumhunter, and user of blue powers this game, but this plan itself is what nailed the final two scum, and was enough that I'm going to be changing the way the witchcraft voting works in future games (no abstaining). StrongandBig for Best Roleclaim in Whose Line Is It Anyway? Mafia! www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=378652 S&B claimed blue and began siphoning points off of the town immediately for his own nefarious uses. His claim and use of points to fund scum powers was his team's best chance at winning that game. Basically town would get points, and could use them if they were blue, but scum could also use these points. S&B played it smart and didn't reveal too much about his "role", so the blues didn't know he was fakeclaiming. In the end, I think this was a game town was destined to win, but if scum was going to win it was going to win because of the early blue claim from S&B that was relatively unquestioned until the very end. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355496 This game, hosted by WBG, was totally sweet, and had economy, wars, lynches, and complex alliance-building and night powers all themed on Age of Empires. It may not look like much due to the amount of stuff that happened outside the thread in QTs and via PM, but it was awesome. Parallel World Mafia for Best Setup http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=387370 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=387591 Yeah that's right there are TWO THREADS for this game. With the swapping back and forth, the roles changing between universes, the third party roles and sweet scum roles, as well as Clarity_NL's multi-world role, this mechanically unique game run by GreyMist, iGrok, and Mr Wiggles deserves a nomination. | ||

www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=313426 Admittedly, Storm Mafia ended in a 3rd party victory, but despite getting fingered by VE early and having an NK fail on Kita, scum managed to systematically take out aggressive and correct townies without getting caught in the process. In the post game, Palmar noted that in 12v4 vanilla with 2 kp, scum needs 4 mislynches to win, and these guys only managed to pick up 3. VE and Toad in TL Mafia LI for Best Play http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=325046 I know it's supposed to be an individual award, but this double-bus was hilarious, clogged up the thread, and bogged things down. Although the game ended in a Mattchew victory (heh) I think this double-bus was well executed and set the scumteam up for a win. | ||

Its possible that the OP was outdated when I got it, Though I noticed that prp had updated some of the recent stuff. If you could find me those nominations that would be very helpful | ||

Lets sum up his game here: Day 1: Pegged Palmar as scum but couldn't get him lynched. Day 2: Pegged Palmar, Hiro as scum and agreed that Ange was also scum. Which was the whole scum team. Palmar lynched. Night 2: Successfully saves Hapahauli from the night kill. Day 3: Hiro lynched. Night 3: Agrees with my case on Zephridd, and successfully identifies the game set up and pegs Zeph as SK and Ange as the scum. Jails Ange and blocks night mafia KP on himself, and writes night post to confirm her as scum if he survives. Endgame. Thats a pretty perfect game from JK perspective to be able to have 2 successful JK and peg the whole scum team day 2 and peg the SK night. And somehow he survived that long. | ||
