mjdgoldeneye Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I am pretty likely to die first day for other reasons (read: good choice), but remember that I WON the first 2 games. Overall, I'm pretty successful. Unlucky, occasionally dumb, suspicious, random: Yes Always dies early: no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antithesis Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I am taking into consideration that many favorites have already been nominated, so I guess I'll use this platform to nominate people I feel are deserving, but may be overlooked at this point. I'll argue some of the more controversial nom's later in the post. here goes BEST ROLE CLAIM NickC claims Good ol JR in the RWC game. FUNNIEST ROLE CLAIM Trypio claims Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Mafia BEST ROLE Darth Sidious from Star Wars Mafia PERSON MOST LIKELY TO DIE THE FIRST DAY Hamsalad BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE- PRO TOWN Outlaw123 as the PGO in Barebones Mafia BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE- MAFIA Djthefunkchris as Sate Pestage, in Star Wars Mafia BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE- MASON/CULT/INDIVIDUAL joose2001 as Brian Vessy from Cverse1 BEST GROUP PERFORMANCE The Sith, Star Wars Mafia BEST CONTRIBUTION TO MAFIA DISCUSSION Moe Hunter BEST SCUM CATCHER Arrows BEST SERIAL KILLER Self as Sephiroth, Video Game Mafia FUNNIEST PLAYER Leaving this blank as I feel the current noms are well represented. (plus there's six of them.. gahhh)! MOST PROLIFIC PLAYER Nzane MOST ENJOYABLE GAME BareBones Mafia BEST NIGHT SCENE Night 3, Cverse 2... Vengeance Returns! GDS HALL OF FAME Plenty of Noms currently, plus I feel the most deserving are already mentioned, so I won't add to it. PROPOSED New Categories MOST IMPROVED PLAYER Self BEST MODERATOR SadisticBlessings, Outlaw, and Nzane are all obvious noms. So, I'll throw IER's name into the hat for Star Wars Mafia BEST ENDING DOTT (the postcard from VKM sold it for me). Some of my choices may seem poor, so I'll go ahead and argue them here. Note the one's I don't argue for; I feel quite strongly that their merits speak for themselves. NickC as Good Ol JR was, in my opinion, probabaly the best false roleclaim I have ever seen. It's potential was boundless, and in the hands of a really strong player, Good ol JR could have turned RWC into a real Slobberknocker, leaving WWE and TNA beaten like government mules! So, when i say NickC as good ol JR, know that in that particular category, I am doing as it instructs, and nominating the role, not the player. Darth Sidious for Best Role. The more I think about that particular role, the more I like it. It combines a Mafia Don with a politician (which completely fits the real world character its following, which i think should count for a little extra on the creativity side). Using the Politician powers does change the Don's investigated allignment from town to non town, so it does carry some risk, it means using the ability should require strategy, plus it puts an impetus on the Politician to search out multivoters to manipulate. Hamsalad. His death was a perfect example of why self voting can screw the town over. In addition, all the really good choices had been nominated already. Outlaw in Barebones. Its a crime he wasn't already mentioned! How can you consider nominating great pro town perfromances and completely miss the job DJ and Outlaw did in the Barebones game? Looking at the current noms my only tough choice was deciding between Outlaw or DJ to nominate. I'll give the nod to Outlaw because he got the ball rolling early with the Cappyboy lynch and never let up after that. Dj as Sate Pestage: yes he wasn't the Don, but the Sith called him their MVP, and more so than anyone else in his group, he was the guy who was out front, with his chin tucked out daring the town to take a swing... and when it really counted, they missed! Joose2001 as Brian Vessy. As a Non Town Alligned player he made nearly to the end, and by all rights should have finished the game (a first and only at GDS) but the Mafia screwed up by killing him (he could have won with them as well). Though he didn't quite make it, it wasn't his fault. Moe Hunter: I felt his posts in the RWC game in illuminating the different forms of threat (between Cult and Mafia) facing the town is worth consideration. Self: While the Axis of Evil Mafia was failing to kill anybody, this guy was quietly piling up the bodies. he was only discovered after all the remaining Mafia memebrs and their mothers put their cards on the table and counted heads. Cverse 2 Night 3 (this category needs more noms btw!!!) This is the night a townie dressed up as a reanimated Serial Killer from a previous game. Done as a joke, it fooled real townies into believing they had another mass murderer on their hands! Well thats it for me. Congrats to all the noms.

Wallbanger Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 After three aborted attempts on my fickle laptop, I have finally gotten the first post caught up. Please peruse the new info there and advise me if I made any mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 One note about the current batch of nominations: Only two categories seem to be lagging in interest: Best Night Scene and the proposed Best Ending. Unless there's a surge of activity in the next couple of days I think I'll drop these from the ballot. The other side of the coin is that some categories are getting a bit bloated. What I'd like to propose in that case is to have the moderators (SadisticBlessings, mjdgoldeneye, nZane, theoutlaw321, Astil, and i effin rule) give me input to narrow the categories to five maximum nominations each. Please continue to nominate if you feel there are things worthy of consideration, though. Feedback, as always, is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallbanger Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Which ones and how many would you like us to narrow it down to? Any category that has more than five I think should be trimmed back to five, otherwise there's too much diffusion of votes. Only exception would be Hall of Fame, which I think should be trimmed back to ten. My thought was that the mods could PM to me which nominations they would CUT from any category list in order to have five remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've never actually stated that I could read. I have no idea how I missed that.

Arrows Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Really don't think I should be in the scum catcher noms at all. My best two, DOTT I wasn't actually much good(I was right, however), but Wall had a lot to do with that. In Star Wars, right at everything that came from me in that thread, came from Outlaw through AIM at some point in time unless it was idiotic nonsense. Then it was likely mine.

theoutlaw321 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Same. And you can't get rid of Best Night Scene. That might be one that DOTT wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Sented. If more noms pop up I'll send in a new version. I'd like to see 5 noms per category mainly because I'm OCD like that. I may go through at some point and add a nom or two to those lacking if that's ok. Don't worry, I won't nominate myself. Hell I even eliminated myself from some stuff.

Antithesis Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I am trying to think of more Night scenes to offer up for consideration but many are blurred in my memory. Hard to recall which was which. A few from memory. Cverse 2, when Joe Sexy died defending jesse because he was driven mad from sexual frustration! Barebones Either night one when MJ attacked the PGO, or later night. when TEOR killed the remaining sherrif. VG.. only thing that stands out is the night Sephiroth killed Aeris. Think I remember it so well because it exposed my false role claim. I do recall it being well done though. Star Wars.. night one.. Derek B defends his target only to be killed chasing a different attacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's my input: The Categories: Best Role Claim - Only 4, so I'll let it go. Undertaker666 as Shockmaster in Real World Chaos i effin rule as Vincent Kennedy McMahon (false) in DOTT Undertaker666 as Squeaky McClean (false) in CornellVerse 2.0 NickC13573 as Jim Ross (false), Real World Chaos Funniest Role Claim - I'd take out UT and/or Nick here as they're in the above category. Undertaker666 as Shockmaster in Real World Chaos panix04 as Jim Barnett in DOTT panix04 as Eric Tyler in CornellVerse 2.0 Antithesis as Diddy Kong in Video Game Mafia NickC13573 as Jim Ross (false), Real World Chaos trypio as Luke Skywalker (false), Star Wars Mafia Best Role - I'd say remove UT again and El Patron (2 CVerse 1 noms, that one was less good, IMO). UT's role was good however, so maybe Falco (not too original overall). Shockmaster from Real World Chaos Ric Flair from Real World Chaos Steve Frehley from CornellVerse 2.0 El Patron from CornellVerse 2.0 Falco from Video Game Mafia Ugly Duckling/Psychotic Swan from Barebones Mafia Darth Sidious from Star Wars Mafia Person Most Likely to Die First Day - This category has a few ways of being categorized, so it varies. I'd take out anyone who at the moment has a trend to survive a while, and seems to play well. I'd remove Remianen because he only played 2 or 3 games, and ya/MidnightNick have been ok lately. (From memory, maybe they haven't...) ya_its_me panix04 Remianen NickC13573 mjdgoldeneye Midnightnick derek_b hamsalad Best Individual Performance - Pro Town - How many PGO's, exactly, are in here??? I'd take out Moe (He lost). Wallbanger as Wolf Hawkins, CornellVerse 1.0 Undertaker666 as Remo, CornellVerse 2.0 Moe Hunter as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Real World Chaos djthefunkchris as Army Veteran, Barebones Mafia i effin rule as Fox McCloud, Video Game Mafia theoutlaw321 as Paranoid Gun Owner, Barebones Mafia Best Individual Performance - Mafia - I'm picking Robotnik to take out, because it's the third VG character. derek_b as Bowser, Video Game Mafia Undertaker666 as Vince McMahon, DOTT Arrows as Enforcer Roberts, CornellVerse Mafia Midnightnick as Gannondorf, Video Game Mafia lostrelms as Robotnik, Video Game Mafia djthefunkchris as Sate Pestage, Star Wars Mafia Best Individual Performance - Mason/Cult/Individual - I'd say take out Outlaw's Jedi (He fell for a framer, and regardless of my performance, helped to out a townie. Also, nominated twice), and 'Banger (nWo wasn't really a cult. It was a mafia at heart, but never got enough members to really make use of its kill!) Wallbanger as The Great Khali (nWo), Real World Chaos Arrows as Ricky Steamboat (MACW), DOTT Undertaker666 as Shockmaster (Individual), Real World Chaos theoutlaw321 as Saesee Tiin (Jedi Council), Star Wars Mafia theoutlaw321 as Kevin Nash (nWo), Real World Chaos panix04 as Ultimate Warrior (Individual), Real World Chaos joose2001 as Bryan Vessey (Individual), CornellVerse 1.0 Best Group Performance - I'd take out TNA (lost, 2nd RWC nom), and the town in CVerse 2 (2nd CVerse 2 nom, and technically not a "group") Axis of Evil in Video Game Mafia WWF in DOTT LAW in CornellVerse 2.0 CornellVerse (Town) in CornellVerse 2.0 TNA in Real World Chaos nWo in Real World Chaos The Sith in Star Wars Mafia Best Contribution to Mafia Discussion - All good... Undertaker666 djthefunkchris theoutlaw321 masterded Moe Hunter Best Scum Catcher - No idea who to take out, so I'd say DJ because he hasn't been consistent, nor has nZane. joose2001 djthefunkchris theoutlaw321 Undertaker666 nZane Arrows Best Serial Killer - Still good... panix04 as Ultimate Warrior in Real World Chaos trypio as The Shiek in DOTT Self as Sephiroth, Video Game Mafia Funniest Player - Arrows tends to be a clever angry more than funny. Also, I don't think DJ is funny... Arrows Jim Force Undertaker666 panix04 Antithesis NickC13573 djthefunkchris Most Prolific Player - 5 = Woo! Undertaker666 djthefunkchris mjdgoldeneye Arrows nZane Most Enjoyable Game - Good CornellVerse 2.0 Video Game Mafia Death of the Territories Barebones Mafia Best Night Scene - Ok... I'd say add the night where Shane kills HHH or where Khali is recruited, because as being from my game, I remember them. Night 5, DOTT Night 3, CornellVerse 2.0 GDS Mafia Hall of Fame - 2007 - The more the merrier for this category, IMO. Undertaker666 SadisticBlessings derek_b theoutlaw321 The Aussie Wallbanger trypio Clarity masterded I effin rule gonvick Nevermore machinesxe Adam Ryland Proposed New Categories: Most Improved Player - Set... Midnightnick machinesxe Self Best Moderator - All good... SadisticBlessings nZane theoutlaw321 i effin rule Most Dramatic Moment In Game - Good... Lynch of Anakin Skywalker and death of Padme Amidala, Star Wars Mafia Lynch of Godfather, Barebones Mafia Lynch of Darth Tyrannus, Star Wars Mafia Confrontation between Jeff Jarrett and The Great Khali, Real World Chaos Lynch of Tommy Cornell Jr., CornellVerse 1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nZane Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'd like to see all of the games and the mods be nominated for Most Enjoyable Game and Best Moderator.

theoutlaw321 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's my input: Thought it was supposed to be done by PM? And we were a cult. A mafia has a night kill. You made it impossible for us to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, well, doesn't matter. Either way, my PM box is occupied with mafia atm anyway. You weren't a cult. I was mod, I can call you all wolverines and it would be true! You were one of 2 mafias, complete with a don and potential night kill. You can call yourself a hybrid, but you can't be called a cult and not a mafia. (The win conditions = mafia...)

A hybrid is one where one has to be worked towards! And there wasn't any way that we were going to get to the point that we could. Enjoy your game! Ease up a bit.

Wallbanger Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Sorry, mjd, but a cult's win condition is to take over the town just like a mafia, so you can't distinguish based on that. What distinguishes a cult is the fact that it recruits rather than kills. You chose to introduce the possibility of a kill as 'balance' for only allowing an every-other-day recruit. (I put 'balance' in quotes because despite the attempt it was imbalanced against the faction.) Any objective observer would classify nWo as a cult. Folks who weren't involved in the game but read it identify nWo as a cult. You're perfectly within your rights to call it a mafia (and disagree with EVERYONE ELSE that has put forth an opinion on it) and even say "I'm the mod and I say so", but from a game mechanics perspective it functioned as a cult. That's why the nominations were classified the way they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Besides which, aren't you supposed to be getting role PM's sent out rather than kibbitzing with outlaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Wallanger, Is voting for a mod the same as asking for a mod-kill? Otherwise I'll join the bandwagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
