FoL Awards 2022 - Discussion Thread

[Arctic]

this is a convincing argument

[Zorvo]

@Arete

alternatively, instead of doing that, you could not

Now I’m debating if I should do it.

[Magnus]

I don’t think I’m the most qualified here to nominate anyone by a long shot.

[Vulgard]

I think it’s okay for anyone to nominate even if they don’t feel confident about it. Like, if people disagree, then they can simply not second the nomination and/or not vote for it if it goes through.

[lol]

thank you guys for the support ! thanks !

@Chloe

Rookie-of-the-Year: For a player whose first game was in 2022.*

is this first mafia game or first forum mafia game

[Arete]

uhhh

if they’ve played, like, mafia at summer camp before, that’s definitely fine
inclined to think video mafia also fine but Discord mafia not fine? but other mods might disagree

[Mistyx]

i will take my may nomination back if necessary but i also dont think that mlafia should be considered mafia just on principle

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

what

[Magnus]

You nominated May?

[Mistyx]

yes

[Zorvo]

@Magnus

You nominated May?

Who wouldn’t.

[Zorvo]

It’s May

[Magnus]

You’re actually obsessed with May.

[May]

Hi I’m here by accident. Mlafia should not be considered mafia. On principle

[May]

It can’t be mafia if the host refuses to acknowledge it ever again. As far as I’m concerned it never happened

[Mistyx]

actually i think that’s a prerequisite

[May]

But the actual answer is that even if you don’t count the aforementioned maybe a mafia game, I did play a single Discord mafia game in November 2021, during which I got N1ed because the vig shot my lover. So I’m not a rookie, of the year or otherwise, on that technicality.

[Prophylaxis]

Treat all of my nominations as seconds if they were already nominated, btw.

@katze

ill second this one, but to add onto your nomination, i think her endgame play was extremely cool mechanically and i was personally pretty impressed that she went through with it once i saw the possibility from dvc

from my understanding/recollection, her role was able to neighborize people and in that neighborhood they could agree to doctor somebody or have the host vote them at the start of the next day (i think she only neighborized one person all game with it which i think is also pretty clever)

going into the last night, she intentionally got her neighbor to agree to doctor somebody, and then shot into the doctor intentionally, bringing the game into F4 instead of F3

from what i recall there was consideration on whether or not etha was a wolf in that last day, but like. there’s a missing nightkill and she’s the reason it’s missing, there’s a villager people already suspected enough, she took a F3 that she likely wins and turned it into a F4 that’s really really hard to lose

Also, just wanted to chime into the discussion thread and say: wow, what an impressive endgame play. Idk how much experience Etha has at forum mafia but that’s some galaxy brain type shit.

[Ruby]

Etha has little FM but a fair lot of mafia experence.
Though what we usally play (DW) is on the mech heavy side their beign able to be completly town read was amazing to watch as a host.

But ya the end game was played perfectly from her and i don’t think she really had a bad mech play through out the game either.
