time to make a hydra account
There is no rule saying that banned users can’t be nominated for or receive awards
he has played or hosted at least one game on FoL, and he isn’t a mod (which is specifically relevant for community MVP), so he is still eligible
That reminds me I meant to ask about why eevees second ban wasn’t put in the public moderation logs?
I do remember him getting unbanned for a day but considering my reputation I didn’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 wasn’t gonna get involved past that
Assuming it was a miscommunication
Anyway
Doesn’t matter, should keep discussion of it out of nominations thread anyway

Community MVP: Marl
Reason:
I’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 it’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. I’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 that’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 “power town” on the site.
Prisoners, NSFM - A well-deserved town sweep, which saw all three scum chainlynched in only 10% of the town’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 I’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 “Take Me Home Country Roads” 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. It’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 1v7’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 didn’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 what’s possible in FM.
Icibalus/Marluxion, Fire Emblem Fates FM - Had a bunch of cool mechanics I’ve not seen elsewhere, despite having events. I’d probably give the edge to VCFM, but this deserves a nod for sure.
eevee, Dota 2 - I didn’t read this game and I don’t know the setup, I’m just assuming it should be nominated
