Scummies 2008 Nominations! (Deadline: 1/15)

[Oman]

Third Adel

Love her dearly.

[Rogueben]

Nominate: Town of Mini 452 for Best Performance - Town

They came from 3 players down (including 2 dead cops) on day 2 to lynch the remaining mafia days 3 and 4.

The analysis from town-members was really strong and their plan on the final day was practically impossible to wriggle out of.

[Skruffs]

I'dl ike to nominate Mr Stoofer's Pirates vs Ninjas game for Best Game of 2008, even though it's technically not over, I can't play in it anymore and I enjoyed my run.

[Skruffs]

Best SK Win:
MikeBurnFire in Yaw's Open Game

[bird1111]

Second MBF.

He mowed down the mafia pretty much by himself, and went on to outplay the town for the win

[Skruffs]

You don't have to rub it in.
v.v

[Lloyd]

Fourthed Undo for Illustrated - awesome game.

Fifth'd for best flavor text

[shaft.ed]

Third MBF

that was some good SK action.

[Imat]

Would it be possible to add an award for

Most Noncommittal Townie

or something like that?

[Awesome Pants]

Was just procrastinating and noticed a funny newbie game. There's not exactly a category that it'd fall into, but anyway..

Nominate

: The (majority of the) town/scum of Newbie 537

Award:

Worst played overall/Funniest (?)

Game:

The doc claim of 'I'M A DOC' in twighlight on night one did it for me. He wasn't under any pressure, and then the mafia didn't NK him that night. Then the same player at the end of the game:

THE WHAMMY WINS
THE WHAMMY WINS
THE WHAMMY WAS A DOCTOR

Second this game for any award .. Lol ..

[destructor]

They definitely don't deserve an award, but that was hilarious because it was so bad.

[shaka!!]

We need an award for best rant next year.

[Mr. Flay]

Would it be possible to add an award for

Most Noncommittal Townie

or something like that?

No, we've decided not to award mediocrity.

I'm pretty sure WH was just taking the piss in that game... Nothing to encourage there.

[Imat]

Not mediocrity, per se, but a Townie who plays well, gets all the tells in the open, helps the Town to victory, had really strong cases, but never votes. They play in a non-mediocre way, but they just can't bring themselves to vote anybody. Here, better term may be Too Good for Their Own Good, cause they have so many good leads they can't decide who to lynch. I think this lost much of its potential just now, when I had to explain it...I should just strike through this whole thing...

Anyways, just a question. Is it ok to nominate somebody for a Scummy for a quote made in an ongoing game? I dunno if BM still has the quote in his sig, but it was pretty good.

[The Fonz]

Meh. It wasn't for me.

That game has put me off ICing entirely for the immediate future.

[Mr Stoofer]

That game deserves ignominy, not infamy.

Too good for their own good = NK'd

Awarding a player frequently killed as a townie or similarly vanilla role would probably be a better idea than awarding most N0 kills. Drawing the mafia kill usually means a player is doing

something

right, and if the scum are going to kill someone, it might as well be a townie. (Be a pain to skim for though)

Propose Award: Scum Magnet(?): Player most often Nightkilled as a townie

"I'M A DOC" might deserve funniest claim.

[dahill1]

seconding "I'M A DOC" for funniest role claim

[ooba]

Nominate :

Pirates v Ninjas!

Award: Most Enjoyable Large Normal game

[Thok]

Second Most Enjoyable for Pirates v Ninjas

[Mastermind of Sin]

Nominate: Lost Boys Mafia

Award: Most Enjoyable Large Theme Game

[The Fonz]

Nominate: Lost Boys Mafia

Award: Most Enjoyable Large Theme Game

For the scum, maybe. What was that about the town players hoping to get lynched so they didn't have to play anymore?

[Glork]

Pirates v. Ninjas was a Large Theme, but otherwise, I don't disagree. It looked pretty good to me.

[hasdgfas]

I'm going to emphatically third Pirates v. Ninjas for most Enjoyable. It was even enjoyable for me to read after dying Night 2, and I don't usually pay really close attention to games once I die. This one I did.
