Maffi Awards?

[ChiRocker]

I was just sitting bored at work and thought of an interesting idea: what if we had annual/semi-annual awards where we give credit to some of the finest mafiosos on the realms?

I figure, we as a community can choose categories, then nominate other made members who they think deserve the award, then we vote on the top candidates nominated. If you guys think this is a good idea, we could probably have the kick off event for the last year, then every subsequent Maffi Awards could be 6 months.

Some possible categories I had thought of are:

Best Town Win (multiple players will win)

Best Mafia Win (multiple players will win)

Best Neutral Win (Cult, SK, Tricky/Fun Alternate Win Condition)

Best Townie (best repeat Town winner)

Best Scummo (best repeat non-Town winner)

Best Don (best repeat Mafia leader, could be non-Don who stepped up)

Best New Player (played his first game since last Maffi Awards/in the past year for this one)

Most Improved Player (racked up more wins/gave more input in the games since the last Maffi Awards than before)

Most Original Game (to the mod of the most original game)

Best Write-Ups (this could be the most entertaining, or the one that adds the most to the story, or to the game play itself)

Best Mod (to the mod who repeatedly has good games that people want to play)

Best Series (to the mod that has the best series of games)

Best New Mod (to the mod who has run his first game since the last Maffi Awards)

Best Improved Mod (to the mod who has improved the most since the last Maffi Awards).

(the funny awards to follow)

Most Likely to Die N1

Most Likely to get Lynched as Town

Most Likely to get Mod-Killed

This is all I can think of, and I know it is a lot and we can ditch many of them, but I figured we as a community can narrow these down. Thoughts?

Use search, noob! :p

I think you've probably previously heard mention of the Maffies (likely followed by "When are the results finally going to announced???") and your subconscious just brought it up again this morning.

I can honestly say that I can't remember anyone saying that, and if I did, I did not know what was being discussed. I have also only been playing for 8 months.

There we go. :p

You probably/definitely heard the term being mentioned somewhere. It's just that your subconscious brain finally figured out what a "maffie" was while you were working/sleeping and made you realize it. Totally normal. It's the sad truth that our subconscious brain is smarter than our conscious brain.

Not really sure why you are making a big deal about me agreeing with you...

way to steal my idea! =P I have not posted last years cause i didn't get enough votes... to man ties and peeps not voting for all cats..

some of the problem is that not everyone plays in ever game so, its inaccurate and hard to vote for... its a great idea... the first one went well.
