Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - invitational it wasnt pretty
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - tomsloger - mindscrew - unkillable scum-controlled double voter
we had an npc that could vote from scumchat
i took credit for the vote as a time traveler that had copied myself. and if i was killed, it would die instead so it would just make me vanilla.
and then told them the vote kept showing up places i didnt put it.
so scum must have control of my copy somehow
and town believed it. mostly
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - iso - zds normal - superultramegamiller zds confirming it was false in thread was hilarious

Most Interesting Role - I'll go out on a limb and say Ema Skye (Wheat's role) from Ace Attorney. I really wanted to see it in action, gosh darn it. Sadly the mafia killed Wheat N1.
*********************************************************
EMA SKYE - Wheat_Grinder
*********************************************************
Name: Ema Skye Age: 16 Gender: Female Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Green Occupation: Student
You're on a plane going back to your hometown, Tokyo Los Angeles, munching on some Golden Snackoos. Why would a 16 year old girl like you suddenly take a plane ride from super-safe Europe back to the United States, in a city where a serial murder case is taking place? Good question.
The conversation went something like this:
"Hi, Lana! How's it going?"
"Oh, good. I've been really busy at the moment, but it's all mostly under control."
"What are you so busy about?"
"There's a new murder case going on here. I just met with Mr. Gant and he said that it was similar to the Joe Darke killings several years ago. We're all putting our best detectives on the case."
"Oh no! Do you need some help? I've been practicing my forensics investigation techniques with-"
"No. Don't go. It's too dangerous."
"But-"
"No!" The phone suddenly lost connection.
And with some sneaking out, some allowance money, a claim to practice your forensics.. and now you're home free. You'll have to take care to avoid Lana while out and about, but it can't be too hard, right?
Welcome to Ace Attorney Mafia, Wheat_Grinder! You are a Town Forensics Detective. You have the following special abilities:
Voting Abilities(Every player has these abilities):
1. During Investigation, you have X votes, where X is the number of defendants needed to be nominated to end the phase.
2. Each Night, you may PM me the name of another player you want to vote for as a jury member.
Passive Abilities: Fingerprint Powder: Whenever a player is killed during the night, you will dust them for fingerprints. That player’s killer will have their fingerprint added into your database at the start of the Investigation phase. You will be informed if the fingerprint is the same any prints found on previous corpses. Check the Court Record: You have access to everyone's fingerprints in the court record, and you may view them at any time.

I don't have all the categories, but here are the ones I feel strongly about.

Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - Fable claiming mafia in STMUIV. "Nobody admits to being scum"
Best Town Player - Iso
Best Mafia Player - Huntzilla
Best Newcomer - Silvercrys. 100%. I appreciate his vote, it was very classy, but it's obvious man. Congrats
Most Entertaining Player - D_V. I really enjoyed playing with D_V this year.
Mod Awards:
Best Flavor - GoldenEye. Especially Iso humoring me when I had to "figure out how to use the briefcase" and "smashes player over the head" wasn't right.
Game of the Year - AA.
Iso, 2016 MTGS Mafia Invitational. I can't, in good faith, vote anyone else for this. I caught the scum team in like, 100 posts. Come on.
Ghosting, Won't You Be My Neighbor? Mafia. He expertly manipulated the information flow between Seppel, tom, ER, and myself to only ever raise my concerns about him towards the end of the game - but at that point, it was too late to convince tom.
Xyre, Shia LaBeouf Mafia. All of the other SK wins sort of feel like they either came out of nowhere or were a little too strong for their own good.
Ghosting, Trigger Happy Havoc Mafia. He played his role exactly the way he should have, and it paid off accordingly.
MTGS Mafia Invitational 2016. I looked over the other games this year and there are really no other town wins that didn't seem like a struggle (except for maybe Townville). Stargate was close to it, but the town was WAY off-kilter on Day 1 until the SK killed one of the scum on N1, so I don't think that quite earns it, here. The Invitational was fun to watch after solving it, because I saw a lot of high-level town play with townies organically interacting with each other and growing their reads, accordingly. The playerbase, alone, put this game in contention for this award, and it did not fail to deliver.
Twinborn Mafia. Though this was largely due to the town's ineptitude, the scum managed to stay off the radar long enough to pull off (IIRC) a perfect victory after enough WIFOM. Honorable mention to Off the Grid II.
Twinborn Mafia. I almost gave this to Mind Screw or Stargate; I didn't because Mind Screw, by merit of the setup, resulted in the town not knowing anything that was going on, and thus I can't really hold this too much against them. Stargate would have resulted in a town loss had I not rammed their noses into the right trail, but they did actually win, so I can't give this to them, either. The Twinborn Mafia town, though...I have no words.
MTGS Mafia Invitational 2016. Once Eco was caught, the entire team folded like a house of cards.
Tordeck, Janken Mafia. Tordeck literally almost claimed Ophidia's role after Ophidia died, and it allowed him to cruise to endgame.
Nachomamma8, Three Little Pigs Mafia. Nacho's refusal to claim his actual rolename and instead choosing to come up with silly and ridiculous wolf-sounding names amused me many times throughout the game.
Iso. Nope, not even gonna be humble about this one.
Ghosting. I don't know if he played as scum in any other games than Neighbors, but he was a force to be reckoned with, and I imagine he'd carry that over similarly to other games as scum.
Ecophagy. Eco's always been a fantastic player (at least, since I started playing), and always seems to catch a good number of scum as town and always seems to wiggle out from the clutches of lynching as scum (except in the Invitational ). Eco's play is always extremely solid, and we saw some good performances from him this year, in my opinion.
Silvercrys3467. I haven't seen the guy in action too much, but he seemed to play rather well in the games I saw him in, and there's apparently a bit of a buzz going around about him. Easy choice.
tomsloger. Seriously, go read the Invitational. ******* hilarious.
tomsloger (again). tom joined to entertain himself and ended up becoming a pretty good Mafia player in the process.
-
Prophylaxis - Ace Attorney. Sure, Mind Screw was creative, but Proph invented a new way to lynch people! How exciting is that?
Prophylaxis - Ace Attorney. Proph obviously put a lot of work into his flavor walls, and it showed. I don't particularly recall any other hosts going out of their way for such detailed flavor. Plus using the source material was pretty cool.
Silversmith/Blacksmith, Mafia Classic. I can't mention one without the other and I went into a long tirade about how cool I thought these roles were on the Discord server. Feel free to read it there!
I hear this goes to Bare Bones. No objections from me.
Mafia Classic. I hate self-nominating for this one, but really, Mafia Classic was groundbreaking as far as removing the swinginess from multiball setups go. I hope to bring more multiball setups to MTGS in the future, and hopefully the stigma attached to them will be less negative as a result of how Mafia Classic went.

Best Town Performance (Individual)
Wheat for the Resurrect play in AA. That was insane from him.
Best SK Performance (Individual)
Vaimes I know that role was overpowered, but still I had a feeling in the back of my head Vaimes might be SK but everytime I looked I was like NAW. He's town.
Worst Town Performance (Group)
Mindscrew.
To justify this I don't even know where to begin. We had everything from a player claiming I swapped my profile pic every post and the town just nodding their head along. To the most disengaged town I have ever seen. To me as a town player not even wanting to push Tom who I was like 90% sure was scum because he was actually posting in the game. This game should have been great but nobody was interested in playing the game and the 30 or so mod kills that had to go out like ugh. I blame the town for this more than anything.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual)
Fable claiming nobody claims scum.

Azreal. His play is really impressive to me.

Ugh. Um. Probably Prophylaxis' [Ace Attorney] for me.
Best Town Performance (Individual) - silvercrys - barebones basic. rekt
Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - ghosting - wont you be my neighbor controlled everything from the beginning
Best SK Performance (Individual) - vaimes - ace attorney <3
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual) - proph AND ghosting - trigger happy havoc its actually the neutralest performance, which is even better
Best Town Performance (Group) - goldeneye i dont even know who would be town mvp for this game. a complete team game
Best Mafia Performance (Group) - big red button 3 deep scum and huntzilla dragging townies into qts with him. perfectly played
Worst Town Performance (Group) - twinborn scum werent even there. we just devoured ourselves
Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - invitational it wasnt pretty
Best (False?) Role Claim (Individual) - tomsloger - mindscrew - unkillable scum-controlled double voter
i took credit for the vote as a time traveler that had copied myself. and if i was killed, it would die instead so it would just make me vanilla.
and then told them the vote kept showing up places i didnt put it.
so scum must have control of my copy somehow
and town believed it. mostly
Best Town Player - iso i think he solved 4 games on d1 this year. though one was as sk and he probably should have kept it to himself
Best Mafia Player - ghosting hes stone cold
Best Overall Player - ghosting he had nothing but great games all year.
Best Newcomer - silver HM to mindreaver. it was a race. but god damn man.
Most Entertaining Player - vaimes who doesnt like smiling

best replacement player - silvercrys - barebones and goldeneye need a slot redeemed? thats the guy
best micro - prisoner's dilemma the setup, rhand's N0 win, the robot, the final 3. all in 100 posts
funniest moment - 2 roles combining to make huntzilla unvotable in mindscrew as the most popular scumread in the game we tried to make votes on him stick, dv inverted the sanity of the ability. or something like that.

You're on a plane going back to your hometown,
TokyoLos Angeles, munching on some Golden Snackoos. Why would a 16 year old girl like you suddenly take a plane ride from super-safe Europe back to the United States, in a city where a serial murder case is taking place? Good question.The conversation went something like this:
"Hi, Lana! How's it going?"
"Oh, good. I've been really busy at the moment, but it's all mostly under control."
"What are you so busy about?"
"There's a new murder case going on here. I just met with Mr. Gant and he said that it was similar to the Joe Darke killings several years ago. We're all putting our best detectives on the case."
"Oh no! Do you need some help? I've been practicing my forensics investigation techniques with-"
"No. Don't go. It's too dangerous."
"But-"
"No!" The phone suddenly lost connection.
And with some sneaking out, some allowance money, a claim to practice your forensics.. and now you're home free. You'll have to take care to avoid Lana while out and about, but it can't be too hard, right?

Voting Abilities (Every player has these abilities):
1. During Investigation, you have X votes, where X is the number of defendants needed to be nominated to end the phase.
2. Each Night, you may PM me the name of another player you want to vote for as a jury member.
Passive Abilities:
Fingerprint Powder: Whenever a player is killed during the night, you will dust them for fingerprints. That player’s killer will have their fingerprint added into your database at the start of the Investigation phase. You will be informed if the fingerprint is the same any prints found on previous corpses.
Check the Court Record: You have access to everyone's fingerprints in the court record, and you may view them at any time.

Best Town Performance (Individual)
Wheat for the Resurrect play in AA. That was insane from him.
Best SK Performance (Individual)
Vaimes I know that role was overpowered, but still I had a feeling in the back of my head Vaimes might be SK but everytime I looked I was like NAW. He's town.
Worst Town Performance (Group)
Mindscrew.
To justify this I don't even know where to begin. We had everything from a player claiming I swapped my profile pic every post and the town just nodding their head along. To the most disengaged town I have ever seen. To me as a town player not even wanting to push Tom who I was like 90% sure was scum because he was actually posting in the game. This game should have been great but nobody was interested in playing the game and the 30 or so mod kills that had to go out like ugh. I blame the town for this more than anything.
Funniest (False?) Role Claim (Individual)
Fable claiming nobody claims scum.
Best Overall Player
Azreal. His play is really impressive to me.
Best Newcomer
Silver, I'm actually upset that Mindreaver and him are both new.
