The last Mafia Awards was held a year ago (give or take a day or two), so I figured, especially with Matrix Mafia having just finished, that this might be a good time to hold the next one.
Now that we have our own forum I think it is only fair that we start handing out hardware like all the rest. For those of you play on scum this type of thing will be famaliar to you. Mafia Awards! For bragging, for fun, just because we can.
So the rules:
You may only vote one person per award
You may vote for each award
You may not vote for yourself
Gimmicks may not vote
When voting please state for which games you are speaking.
In addition, here's the list of awards used last year (as created by fadeblue):
Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual)
Best Mafia Performance (Individual)
Best SK Performance (Individual)
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual)
Best Town Performance (Group)
Best Mafia Performance (Group)
Worst Town Performance (Group)
Worst Mafia Performance (Group)
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual)
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual)
Best Town Player
Best Mafia Player
Best Overall Player
Most Entertaining Player
Best Newcomer
Mod Awards
Best Game Design
Most Creative
Best Flavor
Most Interesting Role
Best Moderator
In addition, the list of games completed between this year and last (if I forgot one, please tell me!):
I was looking forward to posting on this the next time it came around, but when I scanned the list I realized that I've only actually participated in a few of these. I was on game-playing hiatus for a good portion of the year.
There's a few columns I feel nominally qualified to weigh in on, though. I'll likely abstain on the "best town/best mafia" categories, at least for now, as my opinions haven't changed considerably since last year, but:
Best Newcomer-In Cold War Mafia, I was quite impressed with Andelijah's spot-on analysis. On the opposite side, SB did well as mafia, though the LFR thing went poorly. I'm also expecting great things from Kraj. Based off the performance I've seen so far, I'll say Andelijah.
As for moderator design, I absolutely loved what Arimnaes did with MTGS Mafia Redux. I could see that as a candidate for Best Game Design, and I also enjoyed the various sprinklings of flavor. He did excellent work.

On another note, ive been playing for a year and a half >.>.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
Well, I'm nominating Arimnaes for best moderator - while I only actually played in Hollywood mafia, the roles and flavor were excellent - and, while I wasn't actually in redux, it was a great one to read.
Also, Arimnaes for Best False Claim - The Craven Corsair, from Court mafia. Flawless pirate-talk throughout.
I agree with Az about andelijah and arimnaes. andelijah also played very well in Kung Fu Mafia, and I enjoyed seeing the work arimnaes put into MTGS Mafia Redux, and how well it really captured the flavor and history of the Mafia forum.
I'll have to put together my official votes later, after some thinking.

Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual) - Removable in Code Geass Mafia. almost single-handedly took out all 3 scum; 2 of them being veterans.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Az in MTGS Redux. using a PR the entire game and beign able to get away with it blows my mind.
Best SK Performance (Individual) - Dagger in Mushroom Kingdom Mafia. Anyone who doesn't do this was posting under a rock this year.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Suth in Blizzard. I read the game after everyone else voted him and they've got a point.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Verona Mafia. yes the set-up was kind easy to guess, but a perfect town victory has to be worth something.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - even though it wasn't a perfect victory, it's gotta be MTGS Redux. the scum were barely suspected at all.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Newbie 14. horrid play that out the cop day 1, lose the vig n2, and get TPK'd by night 3.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - No clue yet.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - MMoD in Magic Mafia (Mason, although that was more Chamber being stupid)
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Creampuffeater in MTGS Redux (ADD Kid)
Best Town Player - Sutherlands. He's been spot on for several games that I've seen him as town.
Best Mafia Player - Disrupt Your Hymn. two great showings that both left you without any suspicion.
Best Overall Player - DYH, he's amazing regardless of what side he's on
Most Entertaining Player - Hawkeye7. No contest.
Best Newcomer - I have to say Andelijah, for great play in newb 14 where the town was full of fail.
Mod Awards
Best Game Design - 24 Mafia (DYH). the time concept creates a lot of excitement and tension.
Most Creative - MTGSalvation Redux (Arimnaes). The quotes at the vote counts are epic, it made me read those games again.
Best Flavor - Elegant (Puzzle/Hawkeye). Talk about a fancy affair, I would have loved to get in on that.
Most Interesting Role - Morpheus/Florist in Matrix Mafia (Azrael). having roles among the replacements was a brilliant touch, one that no one expected until I came out about it.
Best Moderator - sorry Az, but I have to give this to Arimnaes for Redux. that was a great throwback, even if I didn't get all the references the first time around...
Top 16 - 2012 Indiana State Championships Currently Playing: GBStandard - Golgari Safari MidrangeBG RBWModern - Mardu PyromancerWBR RLegacy - Good Old Fashioned BurnR
First, let it be said that out of the 31 games given by Xyre, I played in 9, modded 2, was on the replacement list for 3, and read, or at least skimmed, the other 17. Yes, I have no life.
The following represents my humble opinion.
Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual) - DYH (Elegant). Honorable mention to removable (Code Geass)
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - bateleur (Vanilla). Honorable mentions to Hawkeye7 (Kung Fu), carrion pigeons (Blood Moon) and Axelrod (Blind)
Best SK Performance (Individual) - Dagger (Mushroom Kingdom) by a mile. HMs to Hawkeye7/kops (Lost)
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Sutherlands (cult, Blizzard mafia). He totally should have won that game, and only lost because a breakdown in communications betweem two of his cultists caused one to bus the other for no good reason.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Elegant, HM Verona
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Court, with HM to Blind, MTGS Redux
Worst Town Performance (Group) - 24 Mafia, with dishonorable mentions to Kung Fu, Stereotype
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Lost Mafia (all mafia were dead by the end of day 2)
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - 9-year-old girl (Azrael, MTGS Redux)
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Craven Corsair (Arimnaes, Court)
Best Town Player - DYH, HMs Axelrod, fadeblue
Best Mafia Player - RafaelK, HMs Hawkeye7, Axelrod
Best Overall Player - Axelrod
Most Entertaining Player - Hawkeye7
Best Newcomer - andelijah
I would like to suggest a new category here:
Best Performance in a Newbie Game (Group) - the mafia of Newbie 11, HM the town of Newbie 13.
Mod Awards
Best Game Design - bateleur (Court), HM fadeblue (Kung Fu)
Most Creative - Azrael (Matrix)
Best Flavor - Azrael (Matrix), HM Puzzle/Hawkeye7 (Elegant)
I'll just post my nominations for the ones I feel qualified to vote on. Also, any chance we can actually get these tallied this year? I was interested in how things shook out last year but the thread seemed to just kind of die out.

Yeah, I guess I think that because the mafia group did not lurk through the game to victory. You guys actively pushed at the right targets and really never came under any scrutiny. Granted, the town play certainly was far from optimal, I think you guys did a great job punishing the town for their mistakes.
Yep, Alx counts for the newb ballot (i voted for him too).

With the large proviso that I really can't speak as to games I didn't play/read (and I didn't read a whole lot of games I didn't play).
Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual) - CropCircles (L5R) That was pretty good.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - arimnaes (Court Mafia). Very daring and it paid off.
Best SK Performance (Individual) - Dagger (Mushroom Kingdom) You can't knock a winner.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Don't know
Best Town Performance (Group) - hmm, maybe Elegant Mafia? Won handily despite a disasterous Day 2.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Court Mafia. That was fairly dominant.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Blind Mafia. Town went to sleep. (or Kung Fu after, like, day 5 when it all went to heck)
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - don't know. Didn't see a terrible one.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Azrael in MTGS Redux, that smiley thing was gold.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - arimnaes (Court)
Best Town Player - DYH. Seems like he is rarely just wrong.
Best Mafia Player - (could just be best "scum" player) Rafaelk, the man is smoooth.
Best Overall Player - beats me. Maybe this year, go with DYH.
Most Entertaining Player - Hawkeye7, never a dull post.
Best Newcomer - going with Alx2
Mod Awards
Best Game Design - MTGS Redux. That was pretty cool.
Most Creative - Court Mafia (Bateleur) I liked the role PM's especially. Hon. mention to Matrix, which had creativity overload.
Best Flavor - Tie: Matrix Mafia (Azrael) + Elegant Mafia (Puzzle + Hawkeye7)
Most Interesting Role - probably need to think about this.
Best Moderator - maybe, for this year, arimnaes

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
I thought you guys might like that, especially loran!
I still laugh when I think about (paraphrased)
Loran16: Hey, CC, you gonna come contribute to the thread?
CC whacks off loran's head.
I'm more surprised people seem to have forgotten Krobelus.
Ew, i didnt even notice the new custom tag....ew.
Believe it or not, that and hollywood (which occured simultaneously) were my first mafia performances, after being town 6 games and sk once before that. The results? L5R-Daykilled d1, hollywood, investigated during n0, lynched day 1.
I felt like crippled fist in a world domination game.

I feels kind of unfair for people to give worst town to Kung Fu they were going great to start with and several town players were VERY good (andelijah especially nearly won it for the town single-handed). It's obviously not a best mafia (group) contender... maybe we need a best mafia (duo) category for me and Hawk and a best townie in a losing side category for ande in that.
I'll do votes later on when I have a chance to remember half these games, but I just wanted to get that one out there. FWIW I reckon half of my towns were probably in the running for Worst Town. I had a very bad year on a town front and a very good year on a scum front, really.
Edit: I think it's unfair to give worst town to DotA too. Cyan's moment of madness aside, the only thing that lost for the town was the Kenji recruit. The towns in MTG Mafia Redux and 24 and Stereotype all sucked as collectives, myself included

Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - arimnaes, Court Mafia.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Azrael, MTGS Mafia Redux
Best Town Player - Disrupt Your Hymn. This guy is an excellent analyst.
Best Mafia Player - Rafaelk. I'm surprised more people aren't voting for him. This guy is wicked good as mafia. Let's see, he won Sin City, Court Mafia, Kung Fu Mafia, L5R Mafia (although that one might not count), plus coming fairly close as the SK in Matrix, and I know I'm probably forgetting one.

Let's see...town in Kung Fu? Check. Town in DotA? Check. Town in 24? Check. Town in Sterotype? Check. Is there a nominated Worst Town that I wasn't a part of?
Ya know with such a track record, I almost might get a complex.
Also, if people would like, I can tally the totals up when things are said and done.

Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual) - CropCircles, Legend of the Five Rings Mafia
I'll concur with this. I really want to vote for andelijah in Kung Fu despite the loss, though.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - carrion pigeons, Blood Moon Mafia.
I didn't read this one so it's hard to say. Of games I played in or read, I thought the best individual performance was Azrael in MTG Mafia Redux.
Best SK Performance (Individual) - Dagger, Mushroom Kingdom Mafia
Can't argue with success. I recall kops being pretty decent in View Askew, too.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) -
Can't really think of one either.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Elegant Mafia.
I'd give it to Verona.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Court Mafia.
I don't think voting for this counts as voting for myself. 24 Mafia very good as well.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Kung Fu Mafia. Yes, the town was winning at one point, but they lost from such a commanding lead due to sheer foolishness.
Foolishness by like 2 people shouldn't get worst town group (same for DotA). The town in Stereotype couldn't buy a clue from anywhere, definitely has to be Stereotype.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Matrix Mafia. I don't care if they won.
Needs a :sourgrapes: emoticon. I'd say Verona but the setup got them bad. Cold War Mafia got done in short order once the gimmick was exposed, I'll say them.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - arimnaes, Court Mafia.
Az' 9 year old girl in MTG Mafia Redux was just incredible. Got to give it to Az.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Azrael, MTGS Mafia Redux
Yep.
Totally needs category for funniest bogus Ted impression, dudes.
Best Town Player - Disrupt Your Hymn. This guy is an excellent analyst.
Not this year, haven't forgiven him for DotA I'll vote fadeblue.
Best Mafia Player - Rafaelk. I'm surprised more people aren't voting for him. This guy is wicked good as mafia. Let's see, he won Sin City, Court Mafia, Kung Fu Mafia,
Sin City was last year. The others are true.
L5R Mafia (although that one might not count),
I count it as a town win personally. It's pretty dumb that I played the whole game as town only to technically win as SK.
plus coming fairly close as the SK in Matrix, and I know I'm probably forgetting one.
I nearly won as mafia in Hollywood. I also won as scum in Good Ol' Mafia on mafiascum if it helps?
I'm leaning towards cp or DYH, but I honestly forget who was mafia in some of the earlier games this year, I need to refresh my memory. I'll edit it in later.
Best Overall Player - Azrael. Give him a role, he'll win with it.
Since Az was away much of the year I'll give it to fade.
Most Entertaining Player - HAWKEYE7
Hawkeye makes me read too much. I'll vote Cyan, never a dull moment (one way or another!).
Best Newcomer - andelijah
Yup.
Mod Awards
Best Game Design - Court Mafia (bateleur)
Agreed.
Most Creative - MTGS Mafia Redux (arimnaes)
I'll go Matrix.
Best Flavor - Elegant Mafia (Puzzle/HAWKEYE7)
MTG Mafia Redux (arimnaes).
Most Interesting Role - Cheshire Cat, Matrix Mafia (Azrael)
WOLG's role in Hollywood Mafia was pretty fun. I'll go with that to be different.
Best Moderator - Azrael
I enjoyed both arim's games this year, I'll go arim. Az (and he would be the first to admit it) was very busy this year while moderating Matrix and stuffed up a few times. bateleur also did an excellent job moderating Court Mafia.
This is also true, although the Verona town had some rather good abilities and I don't think SorryGuy prepared enough for cross-firing mafias. Plus, I don't feel like voting against myself.
Foolishness by like 2 people shouldn't get worst town group (same for DotA). The town in Stereotype couldn't buy a clue from anywhere, definitely has to be Stereotype.
Didn't read Stereotype, and the town in Kung Fu couldn't lose. Losing from a position where you can lynch all the suspicious people and still win (Alx's plan) is pretty awful.
Az' 9 year old girl in MTG Mafia Redux was just incredible. Got to give it to Az.
I decided to give one award to each. I think arimnaes' roleplaying got him farther than Azrael's, although both played fantastic games.
Not this year, haven't forgiven him for DotA I'll vote fadeblue.
Fine, DYH gets the "Best Townie in Games Not Based on Warcraft" award of the year. I haven't seen anything outstanding out of fadeblue this year, which is disappointing, because I know the guy's a fabulous player.
As for you and Az for your respective awards, I factored in other years (probably breaking the rules there). Arimnaes is an excellent mod, though. I want to see him do a specialty game.
I think it'd be kinda fun to have official polls- use this thread to pull nominations and then do it that way? I think they give out nifty custom tags for overall site things like this - do you have the ability to do the same, Fade?
so, you have trully never helped in a win, i thought i was bad.....
This is absolutely not true. I helped the town a great deal in Elegant mafia. The problem was I got turned into a Cult/SK. I off'ed Fade my first night who I thought was a townie, he even had DYH convinced. Turned out Fade was an ingeneously disguised scum. So I had a hand in win...just not a win for me.

I think Vamp's a fine player, myself. His aforementioned play (as well as day one analysis) in Elegant was solid, and he's done nothing but improve since. He did very well for himself in Matrix.
I guess I did win only a disappointing 2 out of 7 games this year Though I'm pretty proud of those.
DYH: I don't currently have that power, but I can talk to the admins during discussions of the general Forum Awards.
The emphasis is on "seen", of course, for most of these.
At the very least, we could always do it unofficially, because fade can simply delete threads used for polls. Of course, if we wanted tags, we'd need to ask the admins.
This is based on only the games I was in and those I read through, unfortunately.
I see there are some that I missed out on by not reading them.
Too bad we can only vote for one person, in most cases.
There was some really great preformances and games this year.
I'm glad I was able to participate more this year as well.
Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual) - DYH (Elegant), HM to Alx2 (Kung Fu) He had laid out a plan that would have, hands down, won the game for the town before he was killed. Solid play prior to that too, good job.

It is a pity I can’t nominate the most interesting role I have ever had or the person who created it. He is, deservedly, well represented in these awards though.

Didn't read Stereotype, and the town in Kung Fu couldn't lose.
The town in Kung Fu got themselves into a position from which they shouldn't have lost, and alx and ande played excellent games. HE7 and I gave the last handful of townies the maximum possible scope to screw up, and then they did. I really don't think the brainfade by the last three townies should count against the rest of them. The towns in Stereotype and 24 (I admit some responsibility for Stereotype; I replaced into 24 and then got nightkilled night 2, so I beg off that one) just lost hardcore.

Mini Games: MTGS Mafia Redux II (Invitational, Evil Mirror Universe) | Unreal City
Old Games (bad): The Greenwood Affair | Blood Moon Mafia
There's a few columns I feel nominally qualified to weigh in on, though. I'll likely abstain on the "best town/best mafia" categories, at least for now, as my opinions haven't changed considerably since last year, but:
Best Newcomer-In Cold War Mafia, I was quite impressed with Andelijah's spot-on analysis. On the opposite side, SB did well as mafia, though the LFR thing went poorly. I'm also expecting great things from Kraj. Based off the performance I've seen so far, I'll say Andelijah.
As for moderator design, I absolutely loved what Arimnaes did with MTGS Mafia Redux. I could see that as a candidate for Best Game Design, and I also enjoyed the various sprinklings of flavor. He did excellent work.
On another note, ive been playing for a year and a half >.>.

Player Awards
Best Town Performance (Individual) - Removable in Code Geass Mafia. almost single-handedly took out all 3 scum; 2 of them being veterans.
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Az in MTGS Redux. using a PR the entire game and beign able to get away with it blows my mind.
Best SK Performance (Individual) - Dagger in Mushroom Kingdom Mafia. Anyone who doesn't do this was posting under a rock this year.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Suth in Blizzard. I read the game after everyone else voted him and they've got a point.
Best Town Performance (Group) - Verona Mafia. yes the set-up was kind easy to guess, but a perfect town victory has to be worth something.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - even though it wasn't a perfect victory, it's gotta be MTGS Redux. the scum were barely suspected at all.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Newbie 14. horrid play that out the cop day 1, lose the vig n2, and get TPK'd by night 3.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - No clue yet.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - MMoD in Magic Mafia (Mason, although that was more Chamber being stupid)
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Creampuffeater in MTGS Redux (ADD Kid)
Best Town Player - Sutherlands. He's been spot on for several games that I've seen him as town.
Best Mafia Player - Disrupt Your Hymn. two great showings that both left you without any suspicion.
Best Overall Player - DYH, he's amazing regardless of what side he's on
Most Entertaining Player - Hawkeye7. No contest.
Best Newcomer - I have to say Andelijah, for great play in newb 14 where the town was full of fail.
Mod Awards
Best Game Design - 24 Mafia (DYH). the time concept creates a lot of excitement and tension.
Most Creative - MTGSalvation Redux (Arimnaes). The quotes at the vote counts are epic, it made me read those games again.
Best Flavor - Elegant (Puzzle/Hawkeye). Talk about a fancy affair, I would have loved to get in on that.
Most Interesting Role - Morpheus/Florist in Matrix Mafia (Azrael). having roles among the replacements was a brilliant touch, one that no one expected until I came out about it.
Best Moderator - sorry Az, but I have to give this to Arimnaes for Redux. that was a great throwback, even if I didn't get all the references the first time around...

Best SK Performance (Individual) - Dagger (Mushroom Kingdom) You can't knock a winner.
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - Don't know
Best Town Performance (Group) - hmm, maybe Elegant Mafia? Won handily despite a disasterous Day 2.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Court Mafia. That was fairly dominant.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Blind Mafia. Town went to sleep. (or Kung Fu after, like, day 5 when it all went to heck)

Believe it or not, that and hollywood (which occured simultaneously) were my first mafia performances, after being town 6 games and sk once before that. The results? L5R-Daykilled d1, hollywood, investigated during n0, lynched day 1.
I felt like crippled fist in a world domination game.
Logical Reasoning is dead; Long Live Stupidity
I'll do votes later on when I have a chance to remember half these games, but I just wanted to get that one out there. FWIW I reckon half of my towns were probably in the running for Worst Town. I had a very bad year on a town front and a very good year on a scum front, really.
Edit: I think it's unfair to give worst town to DotA too. Cyan's moment of madness aside, the only thing that lost for the town was the Kenji recruit. The towns in MTG Mafia Redux and 24 and Stereotype all sucked as collectives, myself included
Best Town Performance (Individual) - CropCircles, Legend of the Five Rings Mafia

Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) -
Best Town Performance (Group) - Elegant Mafia.
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Court Mafia.
Worst Town Performance (Group) - Kung Fu Mafia. Yes, the town was winning at one point, but they lost from such a commanding lead due to sheer foolishness.
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Matrix Mafia. I don't care if they won.
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - arimnaes, Court Mafia.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Azrael, MTGS Mafia Redux
Best Town Player - Disrupt Your Hymn. This guy is an excellent analyst.
Best Mafia Player - Rafaelk. I'm surprised more people aren't voting for him. This guy is wicked good as mafia. Let's see, he won Sin City, Court Mafia, Kung Fu Mafia, L5R Mafia (although that one might not count), plus coming fairly close as the SK in Matrix, and I know I'm probably forgetting one.

Millionaires, I hear it's good Music (Disclaimer: lyrics not PG-13) Thanks, CC
I'll concur with this. I really want to vote for andelijah in Kung Fu despite the loss, though.
I didn't read this one so it's hard to say. Of games I played in or read, I thought the best individual performance was Azrael in MTG Mafia Redux.
Can't argue with success. I recall kops being pretty decent in View Askew, too.
Can't really think of one either.
I'd give it to Verona.
I don't think voting for this counts as voting for myself. 24 Mafia very good as well.
Foolishness by like 2 people shouldn't get worst town group (same for DotA). The town in Stereotype couldn't buy a clue from anywhere, definitely has to be Stereotype.
Needs a :sourgrapes: emoticon. I'd say Verona but the setup got them bad. Cold War Mafia got done in short order once the gimmick was exposed, I'll say them.
Az' 9 year old girl in MTG Mafia Redux was just incredible. Got to give it to Az.
Yep.
Totally needs category for funniest bogus Ted impression, dudes.
Not this year, haven't forgiven him for DotA I'll vote fadeblue.
Sin City was last year. The others are true.
I count it as a town win personally. It's pretty dumb that I played the whole game as town only to technically win as SK.
I nearly won as mafia in Hollywood. I also won as scum in Good Ol' Mafia on mafiascum if it helps?
I'm leaning towards cp or DYH, but I honestly forget who was mafia in some of the earlier games this year, I need to refresh my memory. I'll edit it in later.
Since Az was away much of the year I'll give it to fade.
Hawkeye makes me read too much. I'll vote Cyan, never a dull moment (one way or another!).
Yup.
Mod Awards
Agreed.
I'll go Matrix.
MTG Mafia Redux (arimnaes).
WOLG's role in Hollywood Mafia was pretty fun. I'll go with that to be different.
I enjoyed both arim's games this year, I'll go arim. Az (and he would be the first to admit it) was very busy this year while moderating Matrix and stuffed up a few times. bateleur also did an excellent job moderating Court Mafia.
It's the funniest thing...I was part of the town win in Warcraft 3 MK 2. I was vigged night 1, before I could do any damage.

This is also true, although the Verona town had some rather good abilities and I don't think SorryGuy prepared enough for cross-firing mafias. Plus, I don't feel like voting against myself.
Didn't read Stereotype, and the town in Kung Fu couldn't lose. Losing from a position where you can lynch all the suspicious people and still win (Alx's plan) is pretty awful.
I decided to give one award to each. I think arimnaes' roleplaying got him farther than Azrael's, although both played fantastic games.
Fine, DYH gets the "Best Townie in Games Not Based on Warcraft" award of the year. I haven't seen anything outstanding out of fadeblue this year, which is disappointing, because I know the guy's a fabulous player.
As for you and Az for your respective awards, I factored in other years (probably breaking the rules there). Arimnaes is an excellent mod, though. I want to see him do a specialty game.

Is campaigning for myself against the rules?
I guess I did win only a disappointing 2 out of 7 games this year Though I'm pretty proud of those.
DYH: I don't currently have that power, but I can talk to the admins during discussions of the general Forum Awards.
lol
so, you have trully never helped in a win, i thought i was bad.....
Millionaires, I hear it's good Music (Disclaimer: lyrics not PG-13) Thanks, CC
@Xyre: Go read WC3 mafia- you'll see Fade at his best.
Also, cool about checking with the admins - it'd be a nice touch for us mafia folk. We're like our own Clan or something.
V/LA: 3/21-3/24 & 3/27-3/29
This is absolutely not true. I helped the town a great deal in Elegant mafia. The problem was I got turned into a Cult/SK. I off'ed Fade my first night who I thought was a townie, he even had DYH convinced. Turned out Fade was an ingeneously disguised scum. So I had a hand in win...just not a win for me.

The emphasis is on "seen", of course, for most of these.
At the very least, we could always do it unofficially, because fade can simply delete threads used for polls. Of course, if we wanted tags, we'd need to ask the admins.

I see there are some that I missed out on by not reading them.
Too bad we can only vote for one person, in most cases.
There was some really great preformances and games this year.
I'm glad I was able to participate more this year as well.

The town in Kung Fu got themselves into a position from which they shouldn't have lost, and alx and ande played excellent games. HE7 and I gave the last handful of townies the maximum possible scope to screw up, and then they did. I really don't think the brainfade by the last three townies should count against the rest of them. The towns in Stereotype and 24 (I admit some responsibility for Stereotype; I replaced into 24 and then got nightkilled night 2, so I beg off that one) just lost hardcore.
