The Syndicate

Glorfindel wrote:I'm relatively new to The Syndicate but I've been here long enough to know there are some great Mafia players here who also are really great people as well. It's really wonderful that you all put so much effort into recognising your fellow players in such an auspicious fashion. I would like to add my congratulations for everyone who was nominated for these awards and to the winners (especially Golden who seems to have swept a whole lot of awards - does that mean he's the Socky's version of 'Titanic'? ). Great job guys

Because all that can happen to me from here is that I hit an iceberg and sink to the bottom of the ocean, as some kind of relic that was great for a brief fleeting moment?

Sounds about right. Especially since it won no awards for acting and I won't be winning any roleplay awards any time soon.

I did notice that you are a good side mission host...

So many people were nominated that I felt were also so deserving, and even some who didn't make the finalists. Turnip Head, Sorsha, Bubbles, Sloonei, MovingPictures, S~V~S, Scotty, juliets... all people who I feel like were deserving of awards and I'm sure there are others too.

juliets wrote:Congratulations to all the winners and I can say it was a thrill just to be nominated. I think my fellow nominees will agree. Special congrats to Golden who won, well, everything? Maybe not everything but it's special to be a multiple winner. Thank you those of you who worked on this you did a super job.

It is. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It really is nice to have others feel like I played really well.

Mafia: A World Reborn
Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)

As Long Con designed this banner, this award goes to him. For those of you who don't know, Long Con and Spacedaisy design a large majority of our game banners here at the Syndicate, and have done a fantastic job in doing so. Long Con also designed the banners for this year's Sockys. I want to thank for for their contributions in this department, as well as anyone else who has done a game banner. Well done y'all.

So Long Con gets to have a banner that Long Con designed commemorating Long Con designing a banner for a game that Long Con hosted

I think I want to write a script that turns Golden's signature off.

You can set the site not to view them, I think.

I had no service at the wedding, so I was essentially an Independent.

Linki: Congrats all you winners.

Plus I made it a rule to lynch you first!

Well deserved, Rico. Bubbles deserved the votes she got too. Both of you are great additions.

Funnily, he didn't win this for solo gaming. He either won for joining an Indy post-death or for being a Tuskan Raider with another person. At least assuming from the games he won, didn't check the other performances.
He won Sockface and Daisy Wedding as indy.
Oh that's right! I kept thinking I was technically a civ with an alternate win con.

Maybe you were. I think of your alternate win con as effectively indy though.

Sorry, we had to get a Supreme Court ruling on the voting discrepancies.

I had no idea Golden was new. I assumed he'd been here since the dawn of time.

I was with many of these people at Rev Mafia. I took a three year break from mafia, and found RM dead. So then I had to hunt everyone down and pwn join them.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:No matter what happens from here, my first experience on The Syndicate will always be Golden punking me.

And my most deserved mafia win will probably always be punking you.

Ricochet wrote:Woo, JJJ! Even a blind could see how worthy that is.

What would you be if you were blind? The Socket?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Bravo, sir! Well deserved. Just look at all those banners.

Thank you.

It's nice to feel it is deserved. I will never have a mafia year like that again.

Sorsha was only one vote behind though. She is such an excellent player.

linki - grats JJ!

Yay Canuck! That was so deserved. I've never seen anyone use their role to get the entire mafia team to out themselves before.

Yay! Epic win for one of my favouriteist baddie teams ever.

Any winner from the team in question can have the 'best team victory' banner.

Well played in particular JJ, Rico and MM. You guys all earned that one. Rico even got my vote for best new player to RYM in the maffies for it.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I've never seen any hosts more dedicated to flavor than BR and LC were in Recruitment. Well deserved, y'all!

Yeah, and if I don't win one, I'm deleting all your accounts.

Might have helped if someone nominated you for something.

Spoiler: show

Boy, I'm glad everyone already knows that Metalmarsh isn't nominated for too many things...

A Canadian, a Kiwi, A Briton* and a marmot walked into a bar...

A lot of these categories had quite a few people get one vote. Some of my nominees haven't made it, which is sad because I find them deserving. I'm still very pleased for the people who have made the various shortlists, though. Everyone is deserving.
