FoL Awards 2021 - Nominations Thread

[Marluxion]

I’ll be Nominating @Firekitten and @orangeandblack5 for Legacy Best Scum Performance (Group) for 2d3.

One of the most dominant scum victories i’ve seen in all of the games i’ve hosted. Even with the entire playerlist’s WIM skyhigh from the potential prize of a custom title (back when that was a thing), Orange and FK had near complete control over the conversation in-thread and crushed the town with 0 dead scum at the endgame. The performance was so solid that I ended up giving both FK and Orange a title postgame due to both of their strong performances. (Also, the MVP vote tied!)

[Marluxion]

I’ll also be nominating @psychoneirik for Best Legacy Setup for Ritual Mafia 2.

It was a heavily FOL Inspired rolemadness game that took inspiration from both FoL and Purgatory. The setup clearly had a lot of thought and effort put into it’s design. I was very sad to die n1 because the setup looked so neat.

@katze

@Arete for Best Flavor

I will second this nomination

[Marluxion]

@KyoDaz

Nominating Leafia for funniest moment after nightposting they weren’t confirmed scum but had already been lynched as scum

(This wasn’t in 2021!)

[Marluxion]

@DatBird

I nominate…
@jane for Funniest Moment in Minority Rule Royale Signups

I second this nomination

[Marluxion]

I’ll also be nominating @astand and Umineko FM 2 for Best Setup.

In addition to being a well balanced setup, the rolecards were absolutely gorgeous with a ton of effort put into them. The design of the roles were extremely well done. The bastard twist (which i embarrassingly didn’t see coming) was also executed well and punished town for being overly reliant on mechanical clears.

@Wazza

I nominate @Apprentice for Best Misc Player.

I believe this is self-explanatory, Apprentice is constantly fun to play with in Miscs and is an enjoyable player to be around to the point where when DR5 filled, players wanted Apprentice to have the last slot reserved to him. He brings a light to the game and his own power towards the game itself.

I don’t need to add any more. You all have your own experiences with Apprentice and how good he is to play with in Miscs.

I second this nomination.

@Intensify

@Chloe

I’d like to nominate @min for Best Fakeclaim in Henry Stickmin Vig10er

Playing in a vanilla game with a single PR won’t lead to ‘fancy’ or outside-of-the-box plays, so while this action wasn’t anything particularly crazy , it still played a huge role in the outcome of the game; that being a town win.
In Henry Stickmin Vig10er, after noticing that the n1 shot was on somebody in their PoE, and somebody that not many players would have shot, min took the opportunity to claim vigilante and cover for the real one (myself), which served to remove themself from the PoE, absorb a nightkill, and also put the true vigilante in a position where they could make reads with knowledge that the wolves were fooled, and thus would be pushing agenda towards them.
By eating the nightkill, min practically forced a town win. The final wolf was up against a living PR and a player who was spewed green by association. The game was pretty much locked, and would not have been had the vigilante claimed the previous day and gotten killed by wolves.

Along with this, the fact that min stayed in the vig PoE until this point is notable as well. It’s quite easy for a VT to spew themselves as such, and narrow down the pool of possible PRs, but min did a fantastic job of not slipping, which made their claim much more believable.

@min

I shot marl btw

/vote arctic @Intensify @EliThePsycho

They didn’t overdo it or come across as performative. Just a single line was enough to convince the wolves.

Good. Stuff.

I also second this one… or uhh I guess I third this one… technically.

Min baited the scum kill towards them, pretty good stuff

I fourth this nomination.

[thepigeonnyc]

If I’m eligible, I third this nomination

[Marluxion]

Alwards only need a second you dorks!

[thepigeonnyc]

I would also like to nominate Intensify for best misc gameplay in Blood on the Forums VI: Monsta Jam (Rerolled due to integrity breach) (yes, that’s right, the rerolled one). While I was very clearly angry, he played extremely well and in the reroll, he outlined what his future plans would have been if he hadn’t won already

[Chloe]

@katze

@Wazza for Best Legacy Scum/Neutral Performance (Individual) in Rokugan FM

Was her role a bit overtuned? Yes, it absolutely was.

Does that discount how well she played in that game? No, I don’t think it does.

Wazza being able to convince half of the game to claim to some extent, via several different manipulative actions – all on D1 – is not a small order, especially with multiple people explicitly trying to stop her. also lying darkness funny

Seconding. The Lying Darkness might be a meme, but it’s status as one was entirely due to how Wazza utilized the role and manipulated a large portion of players to do her bidding. Really solid gameplay.

@Marluxion

I’ll also be nominating @astand and Umineko FM 2 for Best Setup .

In addition to being a well balanced setup, the rolecards were absolutely gorgeous with a ton of effort put into them. The design of the roles were extremely well done. The bastard twist (which i embarrassingly didn’t see coming) was also executed well and punished town for being overly reliant on mechanical clears.

Seconding this as well. Umineko 2 (as well as the original Umineko FM) was a very unique and fun setup. You can tell how much work he put into making sure it was fair, balanced, and enjoyable. There were red herrings like firefighters without an arsonist, quirks such as rolecard colors not being alignment indicative, and proof of a whole lot of love being poured into the creation of this game.

[min]

vt pest was hilariously amazing too

[Wazza]

I nominate @Icibalus for Best Host in Various Different Games

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to many. Icibalus has constantly created and hosted games that many people look forward too when just seeing it show up on the queue. That lots of people enjoy while playing the game, not to mention the fact they go above and beyond whiling hosting, something that can’t be said about many hosts.

For a few examples of games they’ve hosted, the main one is probably Danganronpa 5, but that wouldn’t really count as a host. Other games that’ve hosted are things like ToS2399 and Throne of Lies FM, some personal favourites of mine of games that they hosted. They put in work to make sure the game is fun to play in with a good enough concept to suffice that relates with the community. Those past 3 games should be enough to prove that Icibalus makes games that she knows people will probably enjoy, not to mention the unique concepts for the games that they host always adding a nice little spin on that doesn’t reach a point of lack of enjoyment quickly. It’s refreshing to see that in a game.

@Arete

Legacy Awards

Oh fuck

[orangeandblack5]

Honestly not the Fire/Orange game I would have expected to get nominated for first, but it was a good one too!

Here’s a good quote from LyLo:

@Icibalus

I think Ashe is the better lynch than Livi today because Ashe’s flip gives us far more info if they’re wolf. If they’re villager we were fucked from the start since all of our reads would have to have been totally incorrect from SoD and the team would be Orange/Firekitten or something stupid like that.
