Re: 2020 Socky Awards
Most of the categories are either tied, or are separated by just a single vote. YOU can make a difference. Your vote matters. Something something fair and balanced election.

Re: 2020 Socky Awards
Best Role Use is usually the hardest category to vote in because it's impossible to remember or even be aware of how everyone used every role in every game. So what are some memorable ones from this year?
This one's recent, but it stuck out to me. In Doppelgansters, Michelle (playing as Maid) had a role that targeted a player and allowed that player to decide to make the poll a 2-way competition between themself and another player.
Michelle used it as reaction test to gauge the alignment of her targets. She got two shots and caught one mafia with it.

Re: 2020 Socky Awards
We're making another change: Because there's about 2 million newcomers this year, you can vote for up to 3 people in that category, and the top two vote getters will win.

Re: 2020 Socky Awards
Attention everybody! We have made a slight change to the ballot. In the interest of being able to recognize more members of the community in more ways, we've decided to split the Spirit Award into two distinct categories this year:
Feel free to discuss these awards openly and ask any questions if the distinction is unclear. If you've already submitted a ballot and would like to re-vote for these two categories, feel free to do so (also you can change or update your ballot as many times as you want anyway).
You may still vote for up to two people/games in every category, including each of these two.
2020 was a strange year all around, but one of the positives for us has been a steep increase in the number of new users joining our site and remaining engaged with the community. Traditionally the Spirit Award has been a combination of both of the things listed above, but given the number of ways in which our community has expanded and evolved over the last year-plus, it felt appropriate, at least for this year, to divide the award into each of these categories to better recognize the people who help keep The Syndicate going strong.Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 4:26 am Spirit Award -- Community
Which member of the Syndicate do you feel best helped to create and sustain a positive community environment on the Syndicate in 2020? Defined however you choose. This category is meant to recognize an individual or individuals who contribute to the Syndicate community as a whole, not just in mafia games, in areas such as engagement, outreach, organizing activities, etc.
Spirit Award -- Gameplay
Which member of the Syndicate do you feel helped to create a fun, welcoming, and well-rounded mafia game experience in 2020? Defined however you choose. This category is meant to recognize an individual or individuals who contribute to the general quality and enjoyment of mafia games specifically on the site, whether as a player, host, moderator, etc.
Feel free to discuss these awards openly and ask any questions if the distinction is unclear. If you've already submitted a ballot and would like to re-vote for these two categories, feel free to do so (also you can change or update your ballot as many times as you want anyway).

The Polka Heist had one of my favorite moments I've ever been part of. Starting about here, with under an hour left in Day 1, Dyslexicon, Quin, myself, and timmer were the only four people in the thread and all had mutual town reads on each other, and between us we had enough votes to decide on any chop we wanted. But the game had no clearly defined suspects at that point, so we just hopped around from one suspect to another until we found one we didn't all hate. We ended up being correct and the four of us, all by ourselves and completely unanimously, got a wolf chopped on Day 1. Town went on to win the game. It was POE in action.

Re: 2020 Socky Awards
But I also missed a lot of stuff this year because I basically didn't play in any games on the Syndicate while champs was happening. Like, I assume Space Invaders was a fantastic game based on the way people talk about it and the sheer size of it, but I don't know what actually happened in it.

added some new quotes to the list, i wonder where they came from.
I had four of my posts submitted this year, and three of them came from April 8-9. I was on top of my game those days.

Best Quote
What was the best quote or post on the Syndicate in 2020? Nominees for this award will be detailed in a later post.
Lifetime Achievement Award
Last but far from least. This is the fourth appearance of this prestigious award. This can be viewed as a sort of "Hall of Fame" induction, not to be confused with the Hall of Fame forum on this site where we keep statistical track of each game and player. This award does not refer only to 2020 game play. It refers to the entire body of work (referring specifically to their Mafia play and/or hosting) for a player's time on this website from the day they registered.
Not everyone is eligible to be inducted this year. This will function similarly to an athletic Hall of Fame, like those seen for professional sports. This year, only players who joined The Syndicate in the year 2016 or earlier are considered to be eligible for a Lifetime Achievement Award. Last year the cutoff was at 2015, and now we have advanced it one year. Next year the cutoff will be 2017. Again, to be eligible for the Lifetime Achievement Award, your nominee must have joined the site during or before the year 2016.
Those who have already won this award are ineligible: Epignosis, M Plus 7, S~V~S, Long Con, juliets, Spacedaisy, insertnamehere, DharmaHelper, JaggedJimmyJay, nutella, and Sloonei
You may vote for three players here, and three players will be inducted. In the event of ties, the Socky Awards team will convene to come to a solution.
Everyone is eligible to vote for this award, including those who are not eligible to receive it.
