You can't qualify for both. One is for someone who played mafia at other sites first, one is for people who didn't.

Sorry, but did you and Metalmarsh89 even coordinate in what the categories mean?

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Players New to Mafia

These players played their first game of mafia ever here at the Syndicate, and are eligible for the Best New Player Award.

I qualify*

*unless only players that signed up in 2015 count

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Players New to the Syndicate

These players have played mafia before at another site, but played their first mafia game at the Syndicate during the 2015 year, and are eligible for the Best New Member Award.

Under the full definition of this, I don't qualify (never played Mafia on any other site).

Golden wrote:Also, the "Best New Member" is like best new player at the Syndicate. This includes anyone who joined the Syndicate in 2015, even if they came from other sites.

I ... ??? The first sentence would have me qualify. The second would, I guess, not. Let's assume again, under the complete explanation, that I do not qualify.

Anyway, you also misinterpreted my quote - I said "based on what [Metalmarsh89] just defined as eligible". "Just". As in "previously". I did not reference the earlier or original definitions or clarifications. I'll quote again.

He was only 12 I think, and his parents kinda pushed him into it iirc. I would think that the least appealing thing in the world when you're 12 is playing party games online with your parents, lol.

This could not be farther from the case. We frequently go over to their house and play board games. Ty loves playing games with his parents, I think he just had difficulty making the leap from party/board game to online game.

Rico was kind of making fun of him, and I was just trying to defend the kid, lol.

Nonsense. He counts in fact among the kind of players I'd like to ask the most what their secret to success is.

If so, Soneji shouldn't be on that list either; he's from Naruto Forums. Other than that, you should be OK.

I think he meant new member, as in new to this forum this year. :P

I added Sloonei to this list. I also added Ricochet. While Ricochet joined mid-December of 2014, Film Directors was his first game here, which is a 2015 game.

Utterly confused. On one hand, I technically qualify for both New Player and New Member (or whatever you feel like calling / defining them), based on what you just defined as eligible. On the other hand, if New Syndicate Members should only include 2015 signups, then I shouldn't qualify. One should probably check in with Roxy or fingersplints if they included me on the 2014 Best New Player category [in which Bass won]. I am certainly not interested in being granted inclusion in a category for two years in a row, simply because of trickster technicalities or flexible interpretations of the eligibility span.

The New Player list is missing the greatest mafia winner of all time. The category's eligibility rules are also unclear: players who played their first Mafia game ever in the year 2015 or players who joined the site in 2015 to play their first Mafia game ever?
