Definitely well-deserved for LC, fellow around-since-the-first-games-on-LP-ten-years-ago veteran!
Hell yes, our first game ever, Ikkl Genius' "Mafia - I'ts fun, trust!"
My two favorite claims to fame to point out are (1) that I was the first person to sign up for that first game, and (2) that this site wouldn't have ever existed without me because I got MP to start playing mafia on LP.

My favorite claim to fame is having a gambit named after me on the SpoilerTV forums mafia section. That was a decade ago, I think.
I'd love the opportunity to meet you in person someday and shake your hand. I mean that.

Well that was fun. Thanks to everyone who stayed up with us for the last couple hours and spectated the silliness. Congrats to all winners, finalists, and nominees. I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work on these thingies.
and ohhh my god the rico parody Gmany Gtano is the best impersonation yet. Extra socky for that.
Thanks Socky Team and congrats everyone!!!

Son of a BITCH Epignosis got a Lifetime Achievement Award before me?
This is why I don't vote for these things! RIGGED!

Awww, guys, I'm very honored to receive one of the first lifetime achievement awards, despite the fact that '17 was my least active mafia year in a while. This community means the world to me even now more than ever, and I appreciate the votes of support. Thanks to sprityo for the words of kindness as well. You all are awesome.
Another incredible year of mafia and Socky awards. Thanks to the entire Socky team for this shindig as well as to all of the hosts and players that make this community so great year after year. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of 2018 has to bring.

I have always said Sloo-nee
That's the canonical pronunciation.
But whyyyy
"ei" almost never makes that sound in like any language, it should be like "eyy"
Because I was 12 when I made the name up.
Two vowels together = first one's long, second one's silent.
Then Kylemii is like Kyle my.
this is a new one

And congrats to all the winners, of course! Definitely well-deserved. Props to all the nominees that didn't win their prospective awards either; a lot of these categories had too many worthy contenders for just one winner.

Over at the USS Callister, I mean, the USS Tempest, I mean, the USS Finnmark, we're all having a giant pity party. It's pretty great.

Phenon was a pretty phenomenal game. Shoutout to speedchuck for being an integral part of the civilian victory as third party.

So happy to see Phenon Mafia get the award for best town team victory as well. Even though I replaced in pretty late, it was an epic endgame to be a part of, especially due to the enormous effort put forth by so many townies before me. Truly an incredible game.
aw thanks MP
it warmed my heart so much to see phenon get the best job award, being my first setup hosted here and my second setup ever. not to mention it was 2 years in the making and overall im just super glad how it turned out and that all the effort paid off

Congratulation to all the winners, apart from Best Host, unless that was a weird way of pronouncing and spelling Scotty.
