I'll take on the tradition started by Nitroxium for a few years and continued by aquarius last year.
Basically this is a competition to pick the best user of the year.
What should you take in mind for this? EVERYTHING! From how good they are at playing the game, to how much you like them personally, and everything else you can think of.
In this thread you will post your nominations. They can be as many as you want, and you can also nominate yourself.
Every nominated user will be taken in mind. And I will add users that weren't nominated but I feel like they deserve to be in the competition.
This competition is supposed to be about current players, or at least players that added a lot to the site in 2016. People who haven't played much or at all since 2015 shouldn't be nominated.
This competition is also supposed to be a Sandbox thing. So users that mainly play in other lobbies will not be taken in mind.
I will need a certain specific amount of players, so there is a chance that not everyone nominated will be in the final competition, but I will try to add the big majority, and I will ask people who they think are the less deserving of being in the competition out of the ones in doubt.
There will be a total of 256 players with groups of 4 each.
The 2 of each group that pass to the next round will be passed on to the next round and from there on it will be a regular bracket tourney, made in Challonge.
But I'll tell you more about that later.
For now, drop your nominations. They can be either posted here or pm'd to me.
Also if someone does NOT want to be in this, you can also let me know either in private or here, and I will nullify your nominations.
Nominations will go up till either December 8th or December 10th.
From there on, the group stage will last around 5 days, and every other round will last around 2 days.
I nominate Ballsy, Fred, arials92, Parudoks, SirAmelio, DrSharky, Snobbert, SnowyB (rest in peace), and butterpototo for being the OG [original golbamaniacs]. Fred especially for his work on music for the game.
I nominate Ohdearmycatisgone, Ashe, Baabaa and thepictroll for being some of the most entertaining users in Beef.
I nominate Mac (rest in peace) for his phenomenal work on the Daily Drama Report.
I nominate Equity and Moomo for causing some of the best drama in the lobby, intentionally or unintentionally.
I nominate ChaoticDoom for being Snoke.
I nominate Tigermom, Herredy, Warlock1268, and DouradaGrelhada for being the people who make the chat box worthwhile (SHUT IT DOWN)
I nominate sl0nderman and Foxie, sl0nd for his work on his guide to making effective roles and Foxie for her help with role production and EMjack, of course.
I nominate Lucidrains for making an online mafia simulator that I enjoy being a very super famous person on.
I nominate Christopherzilla, Platypops, gardenfulloflies, Bebop and Jimbei for being the best Sandbox owners (barring myself, of course.)
I nominate BaneofMafia, Izzy, Ben, Desta, Ayd, Dag, Entil, and OhLookACat, just because.
I nominate bdog1321 for being demodded by error after getting into an argument with EM user zahhaks.
I nominate JamalMarley for being the absolute funniest player in this lobby. Everyone who seriously fails to recognize his satire is worse off than an Irishman in 1729. I also nominate Ruiyang for being the second-funniest player here.
I nominate LastProphet, because even if nobody values his thoughts it's the thought that counts.
I nominate Ace, Tidus and Musume.
I nominate FilthyLawn, Spineman, PlutonianLigon, Kyanite, JimClassico, AsanteSanaSqashBnana, BlackLucio, Vimos, YHWH, Nynite, TedTonate, LeftSharky, potatoz, BigBulldog(e) and Rogelio, for being actual Mafia players.
everyone can use whatever criteria they want for this. if you want to nominate only good players, then you can do that and also only vote for the better players at games in future rounds of the competition
I agree with what Jamal said, it should be game players only. Then we can see who scrambles to try and prove they play sandbox so that they can participate in the popularity contest.
Of course, and I do everything in this lobby. Many of the users nominated thus far do not do everything. Users like Blister do not play mafia. How can you consider him worthy of the title of Best Sandbox User if he does not even participate in games?
Then you look at me. I participate in games, forum and wall discussions, I suggest roles and polls, I find many bugs and have Lucid fix them, I protect everyone from moderator abuse, I have abuses of power overturned, I am the top dog and I protect my people and make sure they have a good time here.
