Also, for everyone else who won a game in 2019 make sure you sign up for our Game of Champions which this year is being run by Long Con and Black Rock. Its always a good time but especially with these two hosts!

In addition to the GoC, the Full Game queue is still open for at least a few more days if anyone has a game they’d like to submit. Maybe you’ll win the Best Job socky for 2020.

Two for the price of one, and a jar of hazelnut spread as a bonus.

Thank you for sticking it, juliets. And for hosting this thing, you j’s.

He dazzled us with his style and proved to be an outstanding mafia player and host. We have all been fooled by his mafioso game and won over by his civ game. He too has been nominated for many Sockys and won as recently as tonight. He has added class to our site and been rewarded with an admin role (I think thats a reward?). I'm so happy to announce our third inductee:

Final Induction

Sloonei

What I am about to say is something I mean 100% with no sarcasm or humor intended:

When I think of how I want to be perceived in the real world, one person who frequently comes to mind is Sloonei: Calm, kind, and full of equanimity.

I am slightly speechless right now.

Through a long chain of events, nutella brought us this post:

I invited this person to play a mafia game in the early days of RYM, the first I’d ever hosted. He declined.
Lmao, just wait til you hear the story of how I twisted MP's arm into playing his first mafia game and how confused he was about the whole concept

Hm, it’s a shame he didn’t take to it. I bet there was real promise in that kid.

This is a footnote in the many nice things about nutella, but she also gave us walruses this year. Thank you for that and all the other things.

Congrats again nutella. Very well deserved.

Was that the one where we were prisoners with numbers? And had to do all those games?

Yup.

And in the real game we had two somewhat competing civilian groups. TH and I were the two “heads” of those groups and we were virtually unlynchable at a certain point. I think we were both trying to steer the game toward a coinflip between the two of us, but the clock ran out and mafia won before we could get there or something.

Excellent game and well deserved.

Arrowverse is the only finalist I wouldn’t qualify for, despite it being what I felt was my best civ game of the year. I was just technically an independent.
