Scummies 2010 Nominations

[Amished]

Third Ythan for Mafia Catcher

As the replacement mod in that game, I couldn't believe how he, time after time, prevented the mafia kill until Macavity proposed a plan that would allow him to not be jailed and finally kill off Ythan.

[Ythan]

Shoot I was just thinking about putting together a Robot Unicorn Attack game. Hope it was fun.

[Charlie]

I really enjoyed it! Try reading it up without looking at the flips; you most probably will be pleasantly surprised at the mechanics. I feel it fits just right for a mini theme game.

[Ythan]

Was I nominated for mafia catcher in the past? I think you may have me confused with Ythill.

[zoraster]

yes. yes i did. Stupid Yth names. You'd think one of you would be enough.

[Ythan]

You'd think.

Troll will

Third Mustilicor for outstanding new player

for the performance in Newbie Game 917. Troll thinks the play was very strong (especially for a player new to the system here) and looks forward to seeing more from Mustilicor in the future.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

And I would like to

fourth

her. Her play was simply put brilliant, I think only one player suspected her and only on the last day, and even then he was the one that handled the hammer that won her the game with her scumpartner, Civil Scum. (who also did a great job )

[animorpherv1]

I'm thinking that once one or 2 ongoing games end, I may put forward my other bodies of work that have me catching scum.

Important Scummies Announcement

In order to reduce the workload on the judges and give a bit more time for reading and discussion, we are going to be splitting this year's judging into two halves. This will affect all single game/thread/post awards; Games ending before July 1 will be considered by the first judging group, while games ending from July 1 to December 31 will be considered by a second judging group.

Affected Awards:

• Best Performance Pro-Town Team
• Best Performance Scum Group
• Best Performance Third Party
• Best Role Claim
• Funniest Role Claim
• Most Enjoyable Game
• Best Setup
• Best Role
• Best Flavor Text
• Best Mechanic/Mutation
• Best Contribution to Mafia Discussion/MafiaWiki
• MishMash Game

If you would like to nominate something from the first half of the year for one of these awards, you have until July 31

.

If you are interested in being a first-half judge, send me a PM; the SSC will be working on putting together a judge team as we get closer to the deadline.

[edit]
To clarify: The split will affect the

judging

. It will not affect the number of awards given out. Judges in the first half will select some number in each category to be considered as finalists, judges in the second half will do likewise, and then we'll come to a final decision.

[Scummies]

Updated as of above.

[animorpherv1]

I'd like to nominate

Twomz

for

Most Cunning Manipulator

for Go Play in Traffic!

The mafia consisted of Starbuck (a roleblocker), and Chronopie, myself, and him (all goons, to my knowledge). We lost Starbuck Day 1, myself N2 and Chronopie D3 (?), but he made it to endgame and won.

[MehPlusRawr]

I nominate

Nikanor

's Kingdom of Loathing Mafia for

Paperback Writer

(best flavor text).

[MagnaofIllusion]

I'd like to second (preview edit, damn you MPR )for "Paperback Writer" Nik and DTM's Kingdom of Loathing Mafia game.

KOL Mafia

The flavor text for Role PMs and scenes for both Nightfall and Daybreak were well executed and fit the theme of the game to a tee.

Given the relative complexity of Theme's source material the writing was outstanding!

[Kise]

Nominate: MehPlusRawr

for funniest roleclaim in Square Enix I

There was an ability that put another player [Devotress] on "death watch" after 10 votes & unvotes were made. Seeing that he was going down, MehPlusRawr not only gave the most detailed & hilarious fakeclaim I've ever seen, but also does what he can to take Devo to the grave with him by interjecting votes while others were voting him. His oppressors tried to plan times to come online and quicklynch him, but the sick

puppy

kitten never went to sleep. All of his posts leading up to his eventual lynch had me laughing hard enough to dry out my throat.

[Iecerint]

I'm feeling nostalgic.

Fourth

Greek Mythology Mafia

SECONDED. Best claim ever.

I'd also like to fourth KOL for Paperback Writer. I replaced in on day 2 as a death miller SK, and it was the single best 34 page reread I've ever been forced to do.

[Kdub]

Second MehPlusRawr for funniest claim.

Is there a scummy for "best effort" or "most dedicated" or something like that. His all-day standoff was pretty epic.

LOL, haven't checked this thread in a while and still nobody else thought Cobalt's KH Mafia claim was funny. I guess I'll

rescind that nomination

then. MPR deserves this one.

[horrordude0215]

Not sure if this'll work, but I'm giving it a shot anyways.

Nominate: ? Person Closed Setup #8

for most enjoyable game.

It was a Marathon Game, so I'm not sure if it counts or not, but if not, there needs to be a category for this. There has to be!

Third MehPlusRawr for funniest claim

[NicolBolas]

Seconded!
