Seconded.

Seconded.

Less than 24 hours left, friends
I have decided to address this
none of this is intended to imply that the people or groups that have already been nominated are undeserving, I just Like Competition
Most Dedicated Player: For a player who is dedicated, even when the game is going poorly.
nominate @Achromatic
have you all seen his WiM lol
Best Team Player: For a player who does a good job at working with their teammates, regardless of their alignment.
nominate @Vulgard
I admit of some bias here, but in my experience, Vulgard is a great person to work with regardless of alignment. As town, he’s willing to work with people to develop their reads, consider other people’s input, and just generally play as part of a team. As scum, he’s willing to put the needs of the team first regardless of what strategy that implies – for example, when I wolfed with him in LotR FM, we came up with a strategy that required him to get bussed as a sacrifice, and he agreed easily.
Best Misc Player: For a player who consistently does well in Misc games.
second Whysper’s nomination of @Jane
Best Town Player: For the best overall town player.
Nominate @Prophylaxis for Best Town Player
Prophylaxis doesn’t play here very much, but when he does, he’s a reliable threat to the wolves (or else he is a wolf, which admittedly he does rand a lot). Moreover, he doesn’t have any major “holes” in his game, the sort of thing that makes you say “yes, sure, he’s a good town player but x.” I would normally feel a little bad about nominating someone who rarely plays but the other nominee for this category also barely plays so I don’t think I’m making things worse
Best Scum Player: For the best overall scum player.
Nominating @Marshal for Best Scum Player
I checked and she wasn’t even nominated last year, which is sort of wild to me? Anyways, Marshal is one of the stronger wolves on FoL. She is skilled at both powerwolfing and deepwolfing, and a formidable foe for any village team to face. Rather than waiting for town to mess up, she proactively attempts to drive town to destruction. Even when she does die, she is pretty good at making her partners look unaligned with others. A few notable examples of Marshal scum games include:
- PAC ()
- RWBY FM (on oldFoL), where one of her partners was tracked night 1 after she had harddefended him. Despite this, she was able to turn things around and win in final 3.
- Overwatch FM (on oldFoL), where despite her entire team trying to bus her, the town decided that actually the entire rest of her team was the wolves, and she was a villager (after which she won in F3)
Best All-Around Player: For a player who is “good at everything.”
for this one I’m just going to nominate a few people who I think are Pretty Good At Mafia, feel free to second any or all of them
- @Arctic - we meme about his read quality, but his reads are honestly mostly pretty good, it’s just that he regularly takes on “leadership positions” in a way that can go really badly when he fucks up. He’s also a strong wolf, good at manipulating the thread and gamestate.
- @WindwardAway - I mean we did literally send her to Champs on the theory that she’s one of the best players on the site
- @Mistyx - reasonably good at both alignments, had a key role in one of the handful of town wins in 2022 (Prehistoric Purgatory) while also being successful at wolfing
Best Town Performance, Group (Large Game): For collective excellence as town, in a game with 16 or more players.
ok tbh I skimmed the eligible games that were won by town and the sole nominee does kinda seem to be the best one
Best Misc: For an interesting, enjoyable, and well-designed Misc.
Nominate @Bellatrix, @Amelia, and @nightingale for BotF XVI - Calm Before the Storm
- great art
- smoothly hosted
- atheist script, but the game actually wasn’t a disaster?
- funny ending
seconding all of those and especially the marshal one because yes
okay but PAC was kinda lol from her if we’re being honest
Thirding Arctic and Windward.
Fourthing Arctic and Windward.
I’m sorry Misty I didn’t see enough of you
ftr I’m going to be AFK when noms close, I’ll try to get polls up Some Time This Evening ™
Post this spaghetti to thank Arete
