Professor Mafia, Behind the Scenes, and Outstanding MishMash game were not handed out this year. Prof Mafia was purposefully not handed out due to judge decision... BtS is only given out my mith... and Outstanding MishMash will probably be awarded later by a Mish Mash Committee.

Congrats to all the winners! Disappointed in mish mash not even getting one award anymore though

We gave one out last year. Xalxe organized the committee for it... it's always done separately from the Scummies, then announced with the ceremony, but this year Xalxe went MIA and we had no way of judging it. I PMed StrangerCoug to let him know if he puts together a committee we'll still award it whenever judging is done and give the banner and everything.

Speaking of, any banners need updating? I still have the source files from the last revision.

I don't think you do -- I did the banner updating last year because nobody else was around to do it.

Question to Scummies people:

Is my banner supposed to be static, or alternate between two banners?

I gave Buttons the gif so yell at him

GOTY doesn't get awarded, it's more of a "Hall of Fame" thing, because it's not specifically the mod, or the players, or any one thing that makes it great.

[xRECKONERx]

"Favorite Game" was never the official category title... the category was "Most Enjoyable Game".

The issue with the award was multilayered and was laid out clearly and concisely earlier in 2014 when we announced the Scummies changes, but basically... the criteria for "Most Enjoyable Game" were too hard for judges to accurately judge, and it felt weird to give all the players and the mod awards for something that basically came down to a popularity contest. It's much easier to judge what should be "Game of the Year" based on a bunch of criteria, though we don't feel any one person or group is responsible for making it Game of the Year, so no actual "award" is given out.

what?

[xRECKONERx]

yeah

[xRECKONERx]

[xRECKONERx]

Good thing it's not a category based on enjoyment, then!
