all right. you shouldn't have access to the main document anymore. Scummies committee will have to get access through their google account.

I see all the nominations on the image for what it's worth. The image file updates automatically, but there's usually a delay of some time. Plus, you're likely to have a cached version on your computer.

Spoiler: CURRENT NOMINATIONS

This is a screenshot of the doc. If it is empty, it means the doc is empty

[wgeurts]

Someone emptied the doc then.
Yay for innovation

[zoraster]

It's not empty. I'm not sure why it's displaying like that. I'll try to figure it out.

[zoraster]

all right. should be fixed.

[Plotinus]

all right. should be fixed.

alas it is not yet working.

I opened the image in a new tab and edited the url to remove the &format=image and it took me to a blank document, so that's why I thought it was still broken.

But now when I go back to the first page it shows all the nominations like it should so it's working now, thanks for fixing it!

[zoraster]

yes. I removed public access to the base document, but the image should still share. My only concern is that the image may have a maximum size, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

[zoraster]

By the way, lots of you guys have been AWESOME about providing detail into why you're nominating. That can only serve to help the judges.

I am nominating Skullduggery for the Best Flavor Text award for the work put into Borderlands Mafia.

Skullduggery very clearly knew a substantial amount about the Theme run here or did an insane amount of homework. Votecounts were coupled with quotes from the game, the images used for the characters were high-quality and uniformly edited, every role PM contained a paragraph of flavor written exclusively for that role by Skullduggery (employing very similar rhetoric to that of the writing in Borderlands, itself), and every role was an inventive and effective rendering of the theme.

From top to bottom, this game exemplified the reason why I moderate and play theme games; I want to see a theme that I have passion for rendered well into Mafia mechanics. Despite the fact that I would love to win this scummy award with my own endeavors in flavor-writing, I still want to nominated Skullduggery for work on this game--in many ways, the work done here reflects the detail of care and level of effort that I put into my own games. If anything, my nomination of this game despite being in the running should stand as a testament to the quality of this game's flavor. I want to see more moderators putting in this amount of effort, and I think that what Skullduggery has done here far exceeds the site-standard for theme games.

There were some grievances about the mechanical balance of the setup as well as the functionality of some roles. I'm not nominating the game for BEST SETUP, though. I'm nominating it for BEST FLAVOR, for which it may very well be second-to-none as far as games run this year go. I hope that the committee that reviews this game will look beyond the mechanical balance/mishaps made and realize that, for every role, the theme was rendered beautifully. This game was clearly a labor of love, and I quite enjoy seeing games with this amount of effort put into them.

I just realized I accidentally put my name as Skullduggery when I was nominating Skull for Paperback Writer T-T
Skull didn't actually nominate herself, that was me, apologies. If the sheet can be fixed I would appreciate it.

[beeboy]

I pulled a SirCakes.
The Friendless Seniors nominator was me

I wouldd like to nominate this game for the brilliance it came up to be:

But I dunno which category, guys!

[callforjudgement]

Kodak Moment, perhaps? This is the first time I've seen scum lose by looking too townish and thus confusing their scumbuddies as to their motivations. (Also, is that game actually Mafia, given how the scum don't even necessarily know they're scum? I'm having problems finding the informed minority there.)

[shos]

It was deemed mafia, yeah.
And minion/team of wolves are all much more informed than the rest..

[callforjudgement]

I still don't think there are many setups in which scum lose, because they claimed truthfully, in the belief that they weren't actually scum. If you can be wrong about that, you're not really properly informed.

[Davsto]

Don't mean to sound harsh, just curious, but... are the 2015 scummies actually being worked on or are they just dead in the water? Because the ceremony was planned to be about a month ago and we've heard nothing for a while.
