Oddly specific nom for AM for winning GGoats as every affiliation

 

[supershorty]

I was already going to nom SAR for best wolf prior to Death Mommy, but now I'm definitely gonna

 

[Lissarae06]

I think there needs to be a best player to come out of WW retirement

AM pls, it's PokeWWon and Mission ImpoWWssible

 

[SARdoghandler]

AM pls, it's PokeWWon and Mission ImpoWWssible

Then it also has to be GGoats 3!

 

[Animal Midwife]

AM pls, it's PokeWWon and Mission ImpoWWssible

I do a simplified version for the list so I can find them easier later!

 

[chicandtoughness]

Beans for best noob in GGoats!

 

[supershorty]

Running over here to nominate @_rae_ for Best Use of Role as the blocker in the noob game before someone can beat me to it.

Probably a Best Noob nom, too, if she keeps playing

 

[_rae_]

Awww, my mom is proud of me

 

[supershorty]

Awww, my mom is proud of me

Everyone should be*. Blocking 3 nightkills is exceptional - and you actually submitted blocks on every wolf, just that one got night canceled.

*Except the wolves.

 

[GoSpursGo]

Oh 100%. I apologize to all the other nominations, who have no hope

 

[GoSpursGo]

Best meme

 

[chicandtoughness]

I think noob game villagers might deserve a Best village (team) nom as well.

 

[GoSpursGo]

I considered this!

 

[supershorty]

You may only vote for one person in the eventual voting

AM pls you need to copy/paste the awwards intro from one of the ranked choice years 😭

 

[supershorty]

AM pls you need to copy/paste the awwards intro from one of the ranked choice years 😭

At least she's consistent:

@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

 

[Animal Midwife]

At least she's consistent:

My memory is poor 😭

 

[genny]

I should nominate @fruitsalad for an oddly specific award for the most reactions given during a WW game

 

[beans2020]

vampy for best fakeclaim in the noob game! I don't think anyone questioned her 3p claim...like for almost the entire game

 

[apoptosis09]

Nominate @beans2020 for best wolf brag

Nominate @indysadventures for funniest player

Nominate @_rae_ for best use of a role (rank 1) and @spiane (rank 2) for use of her vig shot (if that counts)

I want to Nominate @fruitsalad for most tinfoil but idk if dead chat tinfoiling counts 🤣

 

[CeeGee14]

vampy for best fakeclaim in the noob game! I don't think anyone questioned her 3p claim...like for almost the entire game

Seconded. I know I didn't. I was just like, "yeah, that checks out." Even toward the end, I still didn't really believe she was W despite the damning evidence from Rae.

 

[soupshark]

vampy for best fakeclaim in the noob game! I don't think anyone questioned her 3p claim...like for almost the entire game

I second this! @vampyrica

 

[soupshark]

Nominate @katiemcat for friendliest player

 

[soupshark]

Nominate @WildZoo for most creative flair and @fruitsalad for best reads

 

[supershorty]

I just want you all to be aware that nothing posted in this thread is an official nomination - when we open noms at the end of the WW fiscal year, we'll announce it. Some of us just post reminders of our planned ones in this thread for our later selves 🙂

 

[soupshark]

Oh ok I was just following suit with the others

 

[supershorty]

As you play more, you'll learn to critically evaluate situations like this.

The best question to ask yourself in an endgame scenario is "why is this person alive?" including yourself (general you).

If they're highly town read and still alive, they're either wolfing or if they're in more of a town leader role, maybe someone in THEIR town reads is wrong and they're being kept alive because they're steering people awry.

If they're not highly townread, they're probably being kept around as misyeet bait. Or, alternatively, they've been flying under the radar as scum that hasn't been so scummy as to be a priority to eliminate over other slots in the game. (CeeGee, the latter was you in the noob game, you were sketchy, my friend, but you did a great job flying under the radar )

One of the hardest lessons to learn in WW is to pause on steadily marching through the POE if it's just flipping villager after villager, and to critically reevaluate EVERYONE. Doesn't mean your reads have to change, but you have to put in a good faith effort to assess them. The village in the noob game was saved from that being as painful as it can be, because losing and realizing you were integral to the loss is a really unpleasant feeling that I don't recommend

 

[supershorty]

Oh ok I was just following suit with the others

I used to keep a spreadsheet with my personal nomination plans, but then I found I didn't look at it as often as I looked at the awwards threads, so I started posting reminders to myself in there instead and then rereading them when it was time to send in the formal noms 😆

 

[indysadventures]

Nominate @beans2020 for best wolf brag

Nominate @indysadventures for funniest player

Nominate @_rae_ for best use of a role (rank 1) and @spiane (rank 2) for use of her vig shot (if that counts)

[supershorty]

I hope everyone is ready for me to mercilessly harass the group to do your civic duty and vote when the time comes a few months from now because we do ranked choice voting and I have a lot of fun solving the math puzzle for each awward it's important!!

Have I even been nominated for best noob? I think shorty nominated me for best use of role and that was it

 

[supershorty]

Running over here to nominate @_rae_ for Best Use of Role as the blocker in the noob game before someone can beat me to it.

Probably a Best Noob nom, too, if she keeps playing
