[QUOTE=aamirus;854925]but what is your voting criteria? The best player? pretty hard to decide that. Looks like most people going that route are picking frinckles but there is also a clear recency bias there. I wonder if in the future if we can keep the ladder consistent maybe next year we send the ladder winner?
[MENTION=34329]Frinckles[/MENTION] this is not meant to be shade. You are [B]great [/B]and I love you, it just feels like many of these votes are based on the most recent FM game(s) and not looking at the past year as a whole
I am personally voting MM because he's the one who took it upon himself to keep this site's FM section alive when:
1) he wasn't even staff yet
2) there was [B][U][I][FONT=Arial Black][SIZE=7][COLOR="#FF0000"]zero [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I][/U][/B]active staff on the forum mafia side of things!
3) there were some higher level folks who were resistant to letting someone new take the reigns making things that much harder for him
and on top of that, he is a great player. He sucks at scum, to be honest, but he is a great towny.
I know many are also now angry at MM for greylisting efe. But again, he created the greylist a few months ago because he is trying to bring this FM community back to life and recognized that, as it stood, there were really no punishments or deterrents at all for acting like a butt. I am personally a big fan of efe but at the same time I recognize many strong players who have played on our site have stated that they would not play again if people who have played like efe are in the game. The way we were going, strong players like that were discouraged from staying here and trolly players were encouraged to stay. MM's efforts are to bring in a new age where the quality of games here only improves over time.
Seriously, I may sound like an advertisement here, but as somebody who has seen it all going on behind the scenes, I really want MM to get this as a reward for all he's done to help improve this site in the past year.
edited to make zero emphasized cuz the site FM would literally have died there[/QUOTE]
I voted Frinkles because the past few games I have been in with him he has literally smoked all of us. For example in the last two games (Simply Arsonist II and Bio Med), everyone town read him until the end game, and it quite literally made the only one confirmed in each game be the scum as town.
I will [COLOR="#0000FF"]vote MM[/COLOR] as a secondary though, since he is a powerhouse in his own right too.
