Wouldn't it be awkward if the MVP wasn't the best new player?

I hope you have a big trophy case, Golden.

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.

Same goes for me, except I went on hiatus from The Piano. By the time I poked around RM, it was dead too. Whoever it was that steered me to The Syndicate should get a Socky. It's good to be back.

#203

Best New Player is awarded to a new member of exceptional skill... nominees:

Bubbles
Ricochet

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.

#205

Inb4 Bubbles.

#206

Congrats Bubbles.

#207

Yeah, Golden the Coward is going to run out of room in his signature after tonight!

You're not too far off. World Reborn was the only game in 2015 I began as an Independent. But I played several other games with extra win conditions, or where my alignment changed, like Biblical, Death Note, Recruitment and Watchmen. Oh, and in Monopoly I was essentially an SK, because I was on a 2-man mafia team with BWT who managed to get lynched like Day 2 or 3.

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

#214

And my final award to hand out, these folks just make this place better with their attitude and personality. These nominees are our most important members, nominated for the Spirit Award:

Rico is so much better at Mafia than I was after playing for just one year.

Oh that's right! I kept thinking I was technically a civ with an alternate win con.

#217

Oh. That's... quite nice. Thank you all.

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

#219

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

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

Linki: Congrats all you winners.

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.

Any of these four names could be bolded and I would agree with it. You're all so great to play with. Congrats G-Man!

I'd like to thank all the hosts who allowed me to do all the crazy things I did. I'd also like to thank ThatGamerGuy for helping make this award possible. It took a lot of "spirit" to get over subbing in as an all-but-confirmed baddie in Bullets Over Broadway.

#236

First award of this category, is the award for the Best Game Banner. Your nominations were:

Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia
Death Note Mafia

#237

A banner for a banner. Meta. inb4 Goldie

#238

Congrats winners!

Thoughts

I was confused at Golden being "new" too but I hadn't realized he's been gone for 3 years.

Nice comeback year, Golden!

Canuckle, that was awesome.

3J killed it in TH, very nice!

#239

And the Best Game Banner goes to...

Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia
Death Note Mafia
Film Directors
Last (wo)Man Standing 3
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.

#240

Congratulations to the winners! Well deserved, all. I'm glad I don't have to delete any accounts.

#245

Serbia had it coming to them.

Congrats Wilgy

#246
