Scummies 2011 Nominations

[ReaperCharlie]

Hmm. mmk ty.

[TheLonging]

Nominate the scumteam of Bloodbath in Camden for Best Scum Performance.

They played so flawlessly that at LyLo, one town member had town reads on every single one of them. Not a single scum was lynched. Hell, one member wasn't voted even once all game!

2nd

That wasn't even funny how badly they wrecked town. Only reason scum died was because of mechanic, and with the exception of Exe, who couldn't save himself, no one suspected a single scum member except for cooldog.

[Amrun]

Nominate the town of Open 299 - demonhybrids mafia game of fun amazingness, for real for Best Town Performance

, because holy shit.

The mafia didn't even do THAT bad of a job. They were just wrecked by night actions and quick thinking.

I want to second this, but I was part of the town, so I don't think it was allowed.

It was fun as shit, though.

Two people were lynched Day 2?

Do not want.

Oh shit, you're right. I mistyped "3" as "2", and it suddenly discounts the whole entire thing!

You so smart and sharp, reeperchurlie.

Ok I found an outstanding game by Andrew in Central Park here: http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... &start=750

To prove that this nomination has merit, the Mod actually checked the PM's to see if he accidently sent Andrew the setup.

Nominate Andrew for

Best Mafia Catcher

No way in hell. I haven't forgotten the game where he claimed SK in a C9++.

Lucky and outstanding are two very different sides of a very fine line.

EBWOP: I would also like to point out that this nomination is also strengthened by the perfect vigging he did in another open game for which a nomnination has already been logged.

[[Low Key]]

For review the perfect vigging is located here: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 51&t=15877

[Tragedy]

Low Key, sadly.
I have to agree with DH this time.
It was luck as well, but a true awesome Mafia Catcher would've been with a person who DID catch Mafia/Scums with their gameplay, not just from their vig shots...

[[Low Key]]

That makes sense. Well its good to see he has two noms already.

[DeathRowKitty]

My favorite memory of andrew: Best Mafia Catcher

He never took his vote off me while I was alive. I can't imagine why he ended up being lynched.

Needless to say, I wholeheartedly

nth

this scummy nom.

[Battousai]

For the first game, look at scum in the game (shotty, parknourie, Smashbro SSS, Scott Brosius). I haven't read that game, but it would seem that all of the players, other than Scott (who was NK'd N1), seem like scum even when they are town.

Best mafia catcher? No. Improved? Yes.

[mothrax]

I am actually going to support this nom. I replaced into multi-role as last scum standing and my first words were "you could have warned me..."
I was able to peg Andrew as vig, but had no way to kill him off because of the doc still alive. It was very heavily night-play oriented, but he played really well and had me pegged as scum in a heart beat. (he might have been a bit selfish going for the perfect vig instead of pushing my lynch, but eh....)

[gandalf5166]

I'm not sure that he's necessarily best mafia catcher, but he def. deserves Most Improved.

[Faraday]

You don't need to negative nom, if it's undeserving the judges will probably be able to see that.

[VP Baltar]

You don't need to negative nom, if it's undeserving the judges will probably be able to see that.

Eh I disagree with there not needing to be negative noms. The judges would definitely be able to disagree, which is fine, but you're also creating more work for them by nomming undeserving things. (royal you) Best to separate the chaff from the wheat if at all possible before it goes to the mill, you know.

[zoraster]

I agree with Baltar. Having actually judged scummies before, I had to deal with a barrel of work (that resulted in me taking a six month break from MS). Reading the nominations helps focus the judge on what to look for. The "negative nomination" is a fine line to walk, of course. Once it starts getting nasty, the point of the scummies is defeated. But as a devil's advocate kind of thing, I found people disagreeing with a nomination to be helpful as a judge.

[DemonHybrid]

I would back him being a good improved player, sure.

[gandalf5166]

He's good as scum too. As can be seen here: http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=15612

The only reason he was suspected at all was because I was bussing him so hard, and technically he was the last scum alive(chess suspected me, and he had a vig >.>)

Well ideally giving the judgesa more condensed workload would be best, but I mean if 3 people nominate something and 3 neg nom it it'll still go through, I suppose it's pointless as much as anything. I mean there are noms I disagree with, but if others thing their worthy go knock themselves out and nominate.

[zoraster]

By the way, this offers a good time for instruction:

Please be SPECIFIC about your nomination. List why you think it's a good nomination, what specifically he did, perhaps even offer a quote. Your nomination is far more valuable if you do something other than just nominate. And at the very least, please LINK to the game.

shhhh, DH likes to be negative.

[chkflip]

Does the "Best IC" Award have to be given to one that won the game? Also, do ongoing games count?
