FoL Awards 2021 - Nominations Thread

Then the mods re banned him

I do remember him getting unbanned for a day but considering my reputation I didnā€™t want to say it out loud. I had assumed the mods just needed to talk to him

No xblade unbanned him withought talking to the mods and said he wasnā€™t gonna get involved past that

Assuming it was a miscommunication
Anyway
Doesnā€™t matter, should keep discussion of it out of nominations thread anyway

You assumed wrong

I mean
Heā€™s still banned
So Iā€™m pretty sure I assumed right

Community MVP: Marl

Reason:
Iā€™ll give the reasoning later tbh it should be obvious why this lad deserves it

Throwing nominations at a bunch of legacy things. This is only things I remember, and not necessarily well, so itā€™s definitely not fully representative of the best things to ever happen on the site, and skews super heavily towards games I had some level of involvement with. Iā€™m also continuing to treat notable pairs of players in large games as being more eligible for a joint individual award, as that feels way more right in most cases than trying to force a group award when the whole group may have been way worse than the specific pair.

Also, I have included myself in these nominations - hardly anybody is actually nominating legacy games, so I figure thatā€™s fair. If you actually want to fight me on that feel free, but like, bruh.


Best Town Performance (Group)

Blue Dragon, FoL9 - Probably the first true instance of a ā€œpower townā€ on the site.

Prisoners, NSFM - A well-deserved town sweep, which saw all three scum chainlynched in only 10% of the townā€™s available time.


Best Town Performance (Individual)

orangeandblack5, FoL5 - Had correct reads on nearly every slot despite a secret Cult megabuff nobody anticipated. Probably still the best Good King game?

eevee, FoL12 - Probably the best fakeclaim Iā€™ve ever seen. Completely wrecked just about the entire scumteam and the NK.

RoguePrime, SFoL21 - Arguably the best Prince game on the site. Out of 6 nights, they executed Cultists on 2 of them and jailed evils on 2 others.

orangeandblack5, Fire Emblem Fates FM - Sang ā€œTake Me Home Country Roadsā€ to save a townie from the D1 lynch and caught half the scum in the process. Also claimed NK to clear a townie.

Parfait, Ace Attorney FM - As one of the Lost Wolves, she managed to miss every single one of the very strong hints the scum were giving her to out them instead.

ErikaFurudo/Hippolytus, Umineko FM - Rock solid reads and great communication. Itā€™s a shame the rest of the town imploded so hard.

orangeandblack5, Autumn Invitational - Had two scum caught in the first 100 posts, proceeded to shoot one and then give the Vig claim to another town.


Best Scum Performance (Group)

Gallian Invasion/Emperor, VCFM - Despite the Emperor being basically outed on D1 and losing the entire other scum faction to D2 ITAs, still managed to deepwolf to victory.

Mafia, Short Fuse 2 - The scum played an all-around great game here, winning despite losing two members to the first three detonates. Town probably self-destructed less than in Short Fuse 3 as well.

Mafia, 2d3 - A mafia sweep that was already nominated by Marl.


Best Scum/Neutral Performance (Individual)

orangeandblack5, FoL2 - Got button pressed and was completely outed. Spent the next several days messing with the BD and dodging death.

Ashe, FoL9 - As a Mercenary, was basically the strongest town player in a fantastic town game.

eevee, F11 - After losing his partner (gorta) to the D1 lynch, eevee 1v7ā€™d the remaining town to come out victorious in F3.

Hippolytus, FoL6 - Probably the best Fool win on the site thus far, and it was his second one to boot.

Sam17z/Marluxion, Overwatch FM - That suicide bomb was legendary and Sam ran with that to go deep.

, Vanilla Mafia Mafia Mafia - Won as Serial Killer despite not ever actually joining the game.

Arete, Candlelight - Game may have been scumsided but it was still them out-FPSing eevee that brought home the win.

Marshal, Umineko FM - I almost didnā€™t nominate this because playing on an alt account gave them a massive advantage due to their role, but they still played well and really helped secure the game.


Best Setup

eevee, Valkyria Chronicles FM - A wealth of interesting mechanics that managed to work really well together.

Icibalus/orangeandblack5, Ghost Town - Really pushing the boundaries of whatā€™s possible in FM.

Icibalus/Marluxion, Fire Emblem Fates FM - Had a bunch of cool mechanics Iā€™ve not seen elsewhere, despite having events. Iā€™d probably give the edge to VCFM, but this deserves a nod for sure.

eevee, Dota 2 - I didnā€™t read this game and I donā€™t know the setup, Iā€™m just assuming it should be nominated

If you think Iā€™m abusing that or being unfair with any of my self-nominations feel free to call me out on it

i have no opinion i just thought it was a chad move

yeah but my point was more general, not just directed specifically at you

if anyone feels like anything there where I included myself is an unreasonable thing to nominate call me out on it and Iā€™ll drop it

Seconding this

Orangeandblack5 made a list of nominations. I wonder which person received most of them.
