2019 Socky Awards

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Nominees

Spoiler: show

I just want to acknowledge how much empathy I feel for all the scum we're going to lynch together, Mac.

Why do seemingly already know Mac is town? Enlighten

fucking hell benson enlightenment is not something i tell you. you do it yourself with my help. this is a two-way street.

it's probably because of the mushrooms i did before the game started. i'm in my super-saiyan mode now- way above what can be said through the limits of language.

go study the esotericists and stuff if you want mafia enlightenment

Hahhaha Nike do it bitch And the wifom one omg how did you even come up with this

Step 1: Desperately need a "Funniest Post" Socky

Step 2: Stay awake until like 3:30 AM so your brain is all "Wow that's funny say that."

all y'all married and i will continue to sit here like a potato.

Would it be crass for me to volunteer?

Dunno why you're asking me instead of her. I don't wanna sleep with you.

Aw, what a shame.

Oh shit, I just realized that you're a girl. We can hit the bed anytime then

Does that line generally work for you?

Everything works for me baby girl. Everything.

Cool. Where would you like to be branded?

reading two people who I town read fight each other is like mom and dad arguing who's fault is it when the dog shits on the carpet.

Jay: Somebody give me an excuse to vote DDL
Everyone: ...
Jay: Convincing. Vote DDL

When people don't answer me I do shit myself, like always.

Every time I envision Nova posting I imagine him sitting there sipping on a drink with a smirk on his face. Everything has a snarky tone to it. His tone reeks of mischief and mayhem. He's like the guy you catch staring at you from across the room while pretending to read the paper and then goes back to the paper and pretends you never made eye contact and he has a grey trenchcoat on and a tall hat.

A little early to tell. I have a quindar not a novadar

trade it in at your local game stop

Traded it in, but all I can get for the return price is a glorfindar

Whaaaat best quote? Thanks! I wasn't expecting to get thrown into that category, up against some of the funniest posters.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Winner

[mention]MacDougall[/mention]

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I think that's as well deserved as an MVP can be. Mac blew up the leaderboard this year, finished 2nd overall in the MU tournament, and was key in nearly all of the wins he collected. It's super cool to see this from one of RYM's originals.

[juliets]

Whoopee [mention]MacDougall[/mention]! Everyone nominated did things I could see leading to be MVP so congrats to you all!

[juliets]

Is it time for Lifetime Achievement now?

[Sloonei]

Does that make him King of Fuck Mountain too?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Does that make him King of Fuck Mountain too?

I'm still all oiled up.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

[JaggedJimmyJay]

As we have the past two years, we will not feature a "Finalists" set. We will proceed immediately to inductions.

[nutella]

Oh and Mac holy shit there are too many I'll never be satisfied

[G-Man]

And if it’s not nutella, JJJ, and sloonei, then I cry foul.

Golden too thooooo

Yeah, but he hasn’t been around lately. That’s how I narrowed my votes down.

[Sloonei]

And if it’s not nutella, JJJ, and sloonei, then I cry foul.

Y’all acting like G-man himself isn’t an obvious pick.

Is any name more memorable from our first game here? Apart perhaps from The Coward?

[G-Man]

Not this year. Too many others have done much more for this site than I.

I have been playing mafia with our first inductee since about 2010 when she was a wee baby I think. A very smart baby. Over the years she has become a stellar player, nominated for Sockys in nearly every category, and a true champion all the way around. I am so pleased to announce:

First Induction

Major hype. Congrats nutella I am teary eyed for you.

<3

[JaggedJimmyJay]

She finally gets her due.

nutella is by all measures among the best players The Syndicate has ever had. She just won the spirit award, so we all know there's more to her than just skill here too. I want to play Saga!

[Epignosis]

For me, nutella offers more than Mafia. She offers a broadening of life experiences that transcend a mere Internet game.

Idk if I'll ever actually host that lol. Or anything. I don't have the hosting bug and am just afraid I'd screw it up

You ever want co-host backup, just ask. A pile of us are ready to help.

I can't even find the words to express the importance the second inductee has had to our site. He is an outstanding player no matter what faction, he is an award winning host, he is an admin who truly cares about the site and he will tell you this win was predetermined, destined to happen. I am so please to present our second inductee:

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.

Thank you so much, juliets. I'm humbled, even if I was always guaranteed to be humbled given the conditions of the universe.

I made a hobby of getting into fights with you from the Economics game onward. It's been great fun.
