FoL Awards 2023 - Nominations Thread

And I’ll nominate Geyde for best host. He spends hundreds of hours curating stuff like an evil genius in his hidden lair. He cares a lot about game design and fun and is willing to go the distance to make a finely crafted experience for his players.

At work he always be doing the “your mom” and I also do it back.

Just today I was saying how I like it when his hoodie goes up and down and he responded with “I like it when your mom goes up and down” and makes a bopping motion.

He also says your mom jokes were funny, then they got old and unfunny but just end up coming around to being funny again or something like that.

I was going to nominate Litten for Best Mechanical/Strategic Player, because I’ve just remembered the category exists, but then I realized he was already nominated.

I’ll still post the writeup, though, because I don’t think a lot of people know about the stuff below.


Litten’s performance in The Jutting Watchtower showcases his mechanical and strategic prowess extremely well, I believe.

In that game, he:

  • fakecleared himself with a mod announcement after fakeclaiming a restriction in the thread earlier;
  • posted through the wolf anticlaim alt account that ENTERED PEOPLE’S ROLECARDS in such a way that a lot of players were convinced the alt was town;
  • set up Kiiruma to become “mechanically outed mafia” by another player, a town watcher, through the mechanics of our roles and without either player involved knowing what Litten did;
  • successfully identified Atlas as a player that needed to be repeatedly attacked when her role gave us extra KP every time we attacked it (I don’t know if that one was by sheer luck or not, but it was still amazing);
  • was instrumental in organizing wolf actions. I’m not sure if the wolfchat from that game is still available, but a lot of it involves me and Litten extensively discussing mechanics (he had a TON of ideas, some of them insane).

Other than that, he’s just played in Champs finals as a town MD and he successfully caught a wolf there on night 1, but that wasn’t on our site and therefore doesn’t really count.

I’ll nominate Marissa and Litten for Best Misc Performance in Eliza’s King of the Castle game. If you guys remember it was the one where Counts won. Those two tryharded and carried us; strategized in our chat, made alliances and backstabs. For most of us it was a confusing RNG roleplaying game but those two brought out their A-game and carefully, mathematically, geometrically and arithmetically calculated the way to guaranteed victory.

Nominating Legacy Forum Of Lies for best setup:

Look. There are a lot of setups that can lead to a fun mafia game. a classic really. often times a setup’s main goal is to provide for an experience that will allow the players to simply thrive. But there is one setup that has really defined this year that has done so, so much more than that. And it’s Legacy Forum of Lies. LFoL has HEART, it has EMOTION, it has NOSTALGIA. It pushes the bounds of what is acceptable within a forum mafia setup.

LFoL is a statement against the gentrification of MafiaUniverse. So often our silly, misguided members would say stuff like “It’s annoying to play on this site, there are atleast standards on MU”. That, my friends, marks a sad erosion of cultural forum identity. FoLers are wacky, FoLers push the bounds, FoLers sign up for games like 25p mountainous ITAs or LFoL or ritual mafia and we LIKE it. LFoL marks a return to that whimsical spirit, and does so much more.

The setup itself is genuinely very compelling. I would say the key difference that separates it from FoL setups of the past is that the host gets to choose what roles are in the game. This, therefore, makes LFoL more of a puzzle than a game, where a host can loop together something alltogether fun or wacky, and the players are left to contend with the options upon options of different universes. A collaborative effort between many of the forum, spearheaded by the lovely geyde, I think LFoL deserves best setup of the year. Because it is a genuinely fun and compelling setup that also serves to reignite the slowly dimming but never extinguished spirit of the FoLer
