It's time for the fifth annual AWWARDS!

We haven't even done the fourth annual AWWARDS yet

 

[WildZoo]

Cool, now I can note my nom for shorty for Flavor Writer

Probably maybe other Madagascar things too but too sleepy

 

[Lawpy]

Nominating @Zenge142 for most likely to be nightkilled and @WildZoo for most likely to make it to endgame

 

[WildZoo]

@WildZoo for most likely to make it to endgame

THAT'S NOT A THING

 

[supershorty]

@Animal Midwife we should change the “you may only vote for one person” line assuming we’re continuing to do the ranked choice voting, which I’m assuming we are because otherwise you don’t really need math!dog

Ohhhh yeah

Overlap is crazy. The only way I could prevent it is by not opening the thread until late February.

Nominating @Zenge142 for most likely to be nightkilled and @WildZoo for most likely to make it to endgame

Go nominate real categories in the open thread, choker.

Putting Dubz's meme from the noob game here so I remember it for best meme noms next year

 

[Animal Midwife]

Hmmmm we haven’t mapped the WW karyotype, so I have two hypotheses:

1) Wolfatees are homogametic (WW) and village manatees are heterogametic (WV), so traits on the W affiliation chromosome (perhaps including incessant fakeclaiming) show an inheritance pattern like X-linked. The W affiliation chromosome is inherited from manator(s) and the V affiliation chromosome is inherited from The Village Spirit. For village noobs, the second set of autosomal chromosomes is inherited from their first wolfpack.

1) The number of manators/wolfators determines ploidy and it does not change through WW life. Therefore you are triploid and your manatees are haploid. If incessant fakeclaiming is recessive, you only need one wildtype allele to avoid it, and if you have two affected alleles, you had a 44% chance of passing it to both manatees

I'm not nominating this or anything I just came across it while looking for something else and made myself laugh again

Putting Dubz's meme from the noob game here so I remember it for best meme noms next year

I caused so much chaos with that apparently. Very proud.

 

[matthirten13]

I caused so much chaos with that apparently. Very proud.

I never actually received said item, very sad

 

[Lawpy]

I never actually received said item, very sad

What happened

 

[chicandtoughness]

What happened

zuri had the item, wolves thought it was a bomb (thanks to mothy for that chaos) so we gave it to eleanor since she was immune to death besides yeets, but then eleanor got yeeted so the item disappeared into the aether.

 

[supershorty]

Nom thoughts from PaWWsta...

samac for best wolf
Dubz for best 3P - she literally could not have met her wincon faster than she did

if best reads existed in a tot category, I'd nominate Lawpy there

Best meme: the pasta L+Ratio

 

[chicandtoughness]

Seconding Dubz for best 3p, seriously she went zoomzoom and then got to be literal chaos the rest of the game.

 

[WildZoo]

Sporty for hardest push

Also second shorty's best wolf and meme noms

 

[WildZoo]

Oh oh and flavor writer for shorty!

And whatever the heck you want to call my role for best role

 

[WildZoo]

Looks at awward categories

I'll think of more when I've had more sleep lol

 

[supershorty]

sleep

what is this

 

[WildZoo]

what is this

I don't know, I'm hoping I might find out tonight

 

[SportPonies]

Sporty for hardest push

My existence has come full circle

 

[SportPonies]

I still haven’t read my role PM.

 

[samac]

My existence has come full circle

Beautiful.

Leaving future!me a note to nominate this for best meme

 

[WildZoo]

StardeWW 2 for best game since I am now definitely neglecting my spreadsheet

 

[supershorty]

Post-Stardeww thoughts:

-Jay for best wolf
-AM and Vis both for best use of role, they made excellent choices
-I’m nominating Jay’s vocaroos for best wolf brag and no one is gonna stop me
-Choke for Lawper
-Keeping an eye on AM, Zenge, PSV, samac, and Barky all for best reads
-PSV for funniest player

I think I have more but I have to look at the categories once I’m actually up.

 

[supershorty]

I know there are a bunch of memes I want to get in this thread too, but I’ll have to reread the entirety of dead chat to get them all, so that’s a later project. Gotta do some homework first.

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

[Santygrass best reads]

 

[supershorty]

[Santygrass best reads]

Except his Zenge and PSV reads, which should rarely be listened to

 

[supershorty]

Oh, this is a reminder to later!me to add the Vocaroo post to the wolf brag compendium at the beginning of the thread.

 

[supershorty]

I should probably compile all the memes, too, but I can’t just post each of them in one post bc I’ll hit the image limit. But I’ll add something to the wolf brag post for meme central.
