I nominate Drama Mill Misc for Best Misc. It’s simply so stellar and innovative that the signups have record numbers of participation and engagement - and the game hasn’t even started yet!

Ugh fine I’ll do it myself. I’ll save Christmas
I am a biased nominator. It’s bad for most of the award nominations to be me, because, like everybody else, I focus on my friends and overlook people and won’t nominate for games I’m salty about and stuff. To mitigate the impact of my BIASED nature, please make COMPETING nominations. What I am doing here is the bare minimum we need to have awards at all
Best Town Performance, single player, special game - @Magnus in Vote-A-Life, got a bunch of the mafia, pushed correct executions, was cop, awesome stuff
Best Neutral/Third Party Performance - @Eve (@lilith and @pandora) in Jackal Returns, who successfully convinced their mafia teammate to vote to kill themselves (the fact that they missed a win in that wild endgame does not diminish this achievement)
Best Neutral/Third Party Performance - @SirDerpsAlot for winning as Viscount in Virtuous V
Best Replacement Performance - @Magnus in April Showers Reconstructed for taking Eve from a consensus suspected slot to F3, even if they eventually lost as is their curse it was an impressive performance and replacing in is damn difficult
Best Use of a Power Role - @tutuu in PJO FM. The dayvig shot scum 
Best Use of a Power Role - @Chomps in Knight-Errant. The cop caught scum
Best Fakeclaim - I genuinely can’t find any can somebody else please go
Best Town Performance (Group Vanilla) - @Zugzwang @tutuu @Frostwolf103 @Someone @Chomps @Hippopablompoyeetus @beancat @Kiiruma @SirDerpsAlot in Kittens Game: Combinatorics Mafia, a lot of people just remember the Marluna Incident at the end of this game but the village was genuinely winning a game that they’d played very well up to that point - Marluna guessing the masons early was an instance of genuine significant skill and town won despite that
Best Town Performance (Group Vanilla) - WHOEVER THE FUCK WAS IN IT for Don’t Starve Anonymous, mafia executions D1 and D2 and though the last made it to F3 town still won
Best Town Performance (Group Special) - @beancat @May @Frostwolf103 @Apprentice @Jarek @Kiiruma @Arctic @bystander @sulit @Ash @Anonymoose @tutuu @Jane for PJO FM, it was a literal fucking clean sweep, like 3 players died and they were all mafia, and the last mafia conceded, it was perfect
Best Scum Performance (Group Vanilla) - @Aleph and @beancat in Think Twice, got a clean win with the first vote of the game being the Goon voting their Godfather flagbearer. Bold as hell and a good win
Best Scum Performance (Group Vanilla) - @Ash @Anonygoose @Badeline in Maybot’s Combinatorics Mafia. Townsided setup that the mafia still won! They were able to pinpoint the masons very well (Hippo guessed most of them N1) and play to the objective of the setup (to ensure the village doesn’t guess your team) even while being suspected. It’s strategy it’s gaming
Best Scum Performance (Group Special) - @Wazza @Hazardwaste @Leafia @Jarek @Chomps for Singers FM. I don’t really remember how this game went but it was a pretty clean win. Mods help
Best Flavour - Somebody else please do this I don’t care about flavour I feel bad nominating
Best Misc - @tutuu for Drabble Duel (Doppelgangsters edition), everybody loves this game and it’s one of the most popular miscs here, it’s just genuinely very fun and funny
Best Misc - @Atlas for EiMM, a genuinely well- and lovingly-designed EiMM game which was a ton of fun, I enjoyed maneuvering mechanics there a lot, it was an excellent puzzle, and which ended up having literally zero people salty about their role which is unheard of for EiMMs
Best Role/Mechanic - Kind of cheating: @Atlas for the Slayer in EiMM, specifically the 2-shot JOAT abilities which unlock as the nights go on. It was a really fun resource conservation minigame and there were a lot of genuinely good choices I could’ve made with it which was nice. EiMM is close enough to mafia that I think this is fair.
Best Role/Mechanic - @Zone_Q11 for the Paradox Hazards in Paradox Hazard. Innovative idea that looked like fun
Funniest Moment - @Daeron for Drama Mill Misc. It may not be a real misc eligible for the Best Misc award, but it is certainly a Moment. The Moment
Funniest Moment - @Ash’s literally perfect spot-on benguinedparbecue impression in Drabble Duel [Misc] Drabble Duel 2 - benguined wins! - #503 by idot
Best Meme - @Marshal for the Drabble Duel tutuu who’s that Pokemon image. Timeless, classic, always useful
Best Meme - IDK PLEASE HELP
Community MVP - @Zone_Q11 for singlehandedly keeping the queue alive and running while also always being willing to step back and let others run games, helping keep track of the award nominations, reviewing games, encouraging other hosts, et cetera
Best Mechanical/Strategic Player - @Kiiruma, he is known for this, enough words have been said already on the subject “Kiiruma is good at BotFs”
Best Mechanical/Strategic Player - @Atlas, consistently does/did well at mechanics in BotFs and in FAM4 which is mechanics hell world
Best Replacement Player - @Aleph, consistently replaces in which is pro-social behaviour, let’s go
Best Replacement Player - @Jane REPLACING IN IS COOL. REPLACE
Rookie-of-the-Year - @soweli Not a rookie overall I know but new here and appreciated a lot
Rookie-of-the-Year - @spookycat27 Also new here. Also fun
Most Improved Player - @Ash Hi
Best Team Player - @Magnus Prioritises team experience over personal glory to an admirable degree and is very gracious about everything and doesn’t even fucking bus teammates if they don’t want to be bussed
Best Misc Player - @Marshal, won The Boys despite basically having no right to, constantly convincing everybody ot hand over their role information in 2r1b, et cetera
Best Misc Player - @Zugzwang, for outstanding performance in Ransom Dumner Weeeeee
Best Town Player - @Zugzwang gay
Best Town Player - @Frostwolf103 His reads! Are! Consistently! Very good!
Best Scum Player - @catbae Nya nya nya nya nya nya
Best Scum Player - @sheepsaysmeep Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Best All-Around Player - @tutuu polarised noob
Best All-Around Player - @Hippopablompoyeetus Nyanynaynaynynanynya

Best Flavour: @Hazardwaste and @Snowe for “BoTF XXVI: Lizards”. the little character blurbs and endgame post was pretty good
Best Flavour: @Magnus and @Silviu200530 for “BoTF XXVII: Undertale Yellow”. whilst not completely original (and you’d have to be in the game to see them), the write-ups for each character was nice.
Best Misc Performance: @May in “EIMM [Shattered Hopes]”. From the perspective of the game’s host (me), May made numerous discussions and formed game winning bonds with incredibly trustworthy people, as well as making extremely intelligent social plays leading to them and their main ally winning.
Best Use of a Power Role: @Magnus in “EIMM [Shattered Hopes]”. They nearly nullified three separate attacks on themselves, as well as comboing their strongest ability to create an incredibly strong attack which was used to secretly kill numerous players.
Best Use of a Power Role: @Marluna in “EIMM [Shattered Hopes]”. Marluna killed ~around five out of 16 of her competitors with two abilities.
Best Meme: @Tutuu’s existence
Community MVP: @Tutuu. They’re an incredibly active and typically kind member of the community, who let’s people derive various forms of enjoyment through conversing with them.
Best Host: @Silviu200530 has been a very consistent co-host in some of the best hosted games this year, and that deserves at least a nomination.
Best Host: (suggestion) damn. I dunno. I wish there was someone I could nominate here. Really do. Zone’s not eligible cause he won last year. Damn. If there was only someone who has hosting at least two very good games this year who could be nominated for this category. AND IT DIDN’T TAKE 5 MONTHS THIS TIME IT ONLY TOOK TWO!
(suggestion) Best Group Town Performance for the FAM4 Town. There was this very creative and clever and smart town member in this game who did everything, and their name is Jane so I guess everyone else is here as a byproduct.

Best Town Performance, single player, special game
i nominate Frostwolf for Kakegurui. he pushed and voted the first wolf in D1 and D2. on D3 he pushed and convinced me to vote and chop the second wolf. On D4 he was the only one to scumread the deep wolf, which nobody else did. He died N4 before he got a chance to play, but he tried to hamper that player with his ability, because he scumread him. Basically Frostwolf had arguably perfect reads that game and did a good job of pushing them
