2019 Socky Awards

#51

So I haven't voted or anything. What's the deal with Lifetime Achievement? You only get it once, right? Is there a list of previous recipients?

LC, here's everything you need to know including who's won in the past:

The Lifetime Achievement Award

This is the third appearance of this prestigious award. This can be viewed as a sort of "Hall of Fame" induction, not to be confused with the Hall of Fame forum on this site where we keep statistical track of each game and player. This award does not refer only to 2019 game play. It refers to the entire body of work (referring specifically to their Mafia play and/or hosting) for a player's time on this website from the day they registered.

Not everyone is eligible to be inducted this year. This will function similarly to an athletic Hall of Fame, like those seen for professional sports. This year, only players who joined The Syndicate in the year 2015 or earlier are considered to be eligible for a Lifetime Achievement Award. Last year the cutoff was at 2014, and now we have advanced it one year. Next year the cutoff will be 2016. Again, to be eligible for the Lifetime Achievement Award, your nominee must have joined the site during or before the year 2015.

Those who have already won this award are ineligible: Epignosis, M Plus 7, S~V~S, Long Con, juliets, Spacedaisy, insertnamehere, and DharmaHelper

This link directs to the member list, ordered by date of registration. Eligible players continue into page 10.

You may vote for three players here, and three players will be inducted. In the event of ties, the Socky Awards team will convene to come to a solution.

Everyone is eligible to vote for this award, including those who are not eligible to receive it.

#53

Two more days!

#54

I voted for what I felt I could. I should be around more often this year, so I will try to pay more attention to the games I don't play.

#55

Okay, chums. Who won funniest thingie said?

#56

Voting is now closed. Thanks to everyone who voted! Hopefully we can reveal the winners within the next week or two. Please vote in the poll above to indicate your preference for the ceremony. I will do it if time and space allow me to do it.

In the meantime, take a trip down memory lane with the previous iterations of the Socky Awards:

2015

2016

2017 / Vocaroo recordings

2018 Mafia game

#57

Voting time: 3 weeks
Counting the votes: 2 weeks

#58

Convincing people to have nude Jay bathtub version of the announcement counts in my game of trying to convince people to vote the way I want them too.

Of course, I don't have to really convince anyone cause it's obviously the best choice of the options we were given.

#61

New poll, please gimme yer preferences Socky fanatics.

I will be running the "ceremony" in this thread, and we can also have a live Discord chat going alongside it if people like. Just ensure this thread isn't a dead space. I want everyone to be able to participate, Discorders and otherwise.

#62

Only two options?

It depends on the week for me. Next week I'd probably do any day but Tues/Wed, for example.

I would say lets not have a discord chat competing with this thread if you want everyone in this thread.

We're doing this Saturday (the day after tomorrow) at 7pm EST.

#68

Sweet. I can make that.

#69

Great I'll be there.

#70

You son of a bitch; I'm in.

#71

Should we do a 2020 Fantasy Socky Awards league like timmer's film league?

#72

JK that would influence people's votes and be lame.

#73

I'll check in as I'm able. The Sockys are starting the same time as bath hour.

I’m taking prop bets. Over/under on traumatic Inception flashbacks induced is 4.5.

#75

Do I have one volunteer to help with awards presentations? It will be a very simple task. First one up.

#76

It isn't crucial anyway, so no worries if not. Just a way to share in the fun. Be aware though that you'd get spoiled if you help.

#77

[mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] I might be able to help but I'm going to be running in close to 7:00. Can you tell me what you need help with now so I can be prepared?

If you're here for the Sockys, please do me a solid and check in.

#83

Right here

#84

We'll be getting started in a few moments. Note: this will not be an extravagant affair quite like in years' past due to my own time constraints, but we're still going to have fun. I need people in here to ensure that's the case.

Poll up.

Pick an award.

You have 5 minutes.

#85
