I was thinking about Sloonei at the same time, so must have added them both to the same list on accident.
There is precedence for this. Bass_the_Clever won the Best New Player last year for 2014, even though he signed up in December, 2013.

For your consideration, a few of my favorite 2015 quotes:
DharmaHelper wrote:Hi, I'm DharmaHelper. Once when I was a kid I was being sarcastic, and I got bit by a radioactive spider and now I can't stop being sarcastic.

Yes, exactly this. The person you vote for the Spirit Award is the person you enjoy playing with the most. Mafia abilities aside, this person generally makes the game more enjoyable with his/her presence alone.Sloonei wrote:On RYM we definite it as the person whose involvement in a game puts the biggest smile on your face.

Basically, the economics thread is so packed full of great quotes that you could just about have a "Best quote from Economics mafia" award.

As a side note, not only is llama banned from winning any awards, but his friends get extra votes in their favor for all awards.

Re: Annual Socky Awards [2015]
I have tallied the results so far, and they are very interesting. Some awards are already developing clear frontrunners, some others are seeing some very tight races, while others can't seem to settle on any candidates at all.
Keep those ballots coming in.

Re: Annual Socky Awards [2015]
After some discussion, Golden and I have decided to include one more Award to the Sockys: The Best Overall Performance of 2015, or the MVP.
For those of you who have already voted, you may still vote on this one. Just send an additional PM to the appropriate account with the name of this award and the name of the player you are voting for.

I think that is a fair way of putting it. It could be someone you think played really well regardless of affiliation, or it might be someone who really dominated a particular affiliation... just whoever you feel played the best, overall, in 2015.Sloonei wrote:Would that be the player who exhibited the most consistently strong performance(s) across every game?

Re: Annual Socky Awards [2015]
Hey Socky Voters.
Looks like we missed someone. Typhoony has been added to the list of New Members. Though he joined the Syndicate in 2013, he didn't even post here until about 2 years later, and his first game was in 2015.
Since he's a nub, I should probably add him to the New to Mafia list too.

Also, there is one category that currently has 12 votes... 2 for each of 6 candidates. Some of these things could still go any direction.

No, PMs never expire. They can only go away if the sender deletes them while they are still unread (in the sender's outbox), but even then the receiver will still receive a notification containing information that a message was sent, who sent the message, and that the message has been deleted.
I've had PMs sit in my outbox for more than a year, so don't panic; they will still be there for one of the ambassadors to read if you send them.
