A Thank You and an update

Hello MafiaManiacs,

Two quick updates

First, a big thank you to mo_d for cleaning up all of the Brando work. Giving out those awards and making the post is a tough job. I am glad he did it and congrats to everyone who received their awards.

Second, I made some updates to our skins. Last year, I invested $20 in a Go Fund Me for FontAwesome. For those who don't know, they are a company that designs web icons and makes them usable for everyone. Funding them gave me access to their Pro version, which comes with lots of new icons and newer updated versions of their old ones. I have installed these icons on our new skins and also updated them so that they are all cleaner and easier to manage. While I was at it, I also changed the skyline on the main skin to that of Manama, Bahrain. This country has new modern buildings and a skyline that looks nice on our mafia site.

TL&DR: New thinner icons, new city on main skin.

As always, let me know if you notice any bugs and I will get to them as soon as I can.

Regards,

2017 Brandos

Hello MafiaManiacs,

We are a bit late but we are ready for our 2017 Brandos! This past year will be scrutinized for the biggest and best of Mafia and we will have a choice few who come away with the coveted award...



Because of the slightly delayed start, nominations are open until the 16th of January, while voting will now happen over the 5 days after that, concluding on January 21st at 11:59 PM BT.

Based on the discussion we had in the previous topic, a few changes were made:

• Most Active has been combined with Most Enthusiastic to form one award[/*]
• Best Post has now turned into Best Poster - this should now be given to the person who consistently has quality posts as a player during Mafia games where they aren't hosting.[/*]
• Best Mafia Play has been renamed Best Mafia Game Move - the only real difference here is to take it away from one specific play to encompass other possible mafia strategies. This is still limited to one person playing in one game[/*]

Feel free to use this thread to pose questions and comments and suggestions about the overall Brandos process and look here for updates on when nominations close and the polls open. The Brandos thread has been moved to the front page and you can view all of the new categories on one page. Please begin the nomination process now and Nana7_Admin Shad_mod plas_mod Aura_mod, Marth_Mod, and mo_d please be ready to update topics. Thank you again
