It's time for the sixth annual AWWARDS!

From May 10 until June 7, you may nominate people for different categories. Starting June 7 until June 27, you may vote. This thread may be used to publicly speculate. Live reveal starts soon after.

Guidelines
  • You may include a maximum of three people in your nominations per category. Voting will be ranked choice.
  • Names nominated at least twice in each category will be on final ballot.
  • You may not attempt to send in multiple nomination or voting ballots.
  • Posts in threads aren't nominations.
  • You may change your nominations, as long as you resend the entire post. Nominations may not be changed after deadline.
  • You may not self-nominate/self-vote.
I'll accept nominations in PMs. The message should include your nominees for each category.

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 :biglove:
 
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.

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

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.
 
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 🙂
 
Oh ok I was just following suit with the others

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 :laugh: )

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 :laugh:

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 😆

That’s so nice! I can’t imagine @_rae_ losing after this run though!

The rest are great nominations as well.
 
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!!
