This is the thread for awards nominations! Please be sure to include (1) who you are nominating, (2) what award you are nominating them for, and (3) a short description of why you are nominating them.
Please ensure that all replies are strictly on-topic. Extended discussion should go here.
Credit to the Mafia Universe mods for creating the system that Iāve modelled these awards off of.
Rules
- Anyone who has played at least one game on old-FoL can nominate another member for an award. Anyone who has played or hosted at least one game on old-FoL is eligible to receive an award.
- All nominations must have a nomination and a second to be valid. You cannot nominate yourself, nor can you nominate a team that you were part of (for example, if you were scum in FoL 99, you canāt nominate the FoL 99 scumteam for a group award; however, you could nominate a teammate for an individual award).
- All games that occurred at least in part in 2021 on old-FoL are eligible for awards. For this year only, there is also a ālegacyā category, for games prior to 2021. Games that occured on Fortress of Lies are not eligible.
- The deadline for nominations is 2022-01-01T05:00:00Z
- Once the nominations period is over, all relevant awards will be eligible for voting. Voting will be done via forum poll (the results will not be visible to anyone except staff).

Overall, well-designed and enjoyable (for the period that I played, at the very least)
