Scummies 2010 Nominations

[curiouskarmadog]

I beleive that is the 2nd, not Nth for the VP nom.

[hasdgfas]

Third popsofctown

for Don Corleone.

Nominate: zoraster

for best new role for

traitor vig

from zoraster's Mafia 105.

Giving the traitor the ability to kill until he is recruited makes the mafia's decision of whether and when to recruit the traitor an interesting question, while the traitor doesn't know who the mafia are, and therefore has to choose carefully who to kill just as a town vig does, but in reverse.

Seems rather un-normal to me, tbh. Plus, it seems like a poorly designed role to me. I don't see the appeal of it at all. It seems to encourage sub-optimal play.

I don't dispute it's unnormality or whatever and don't see the need for the nomination because of that perhaps, but it's not a poorly designed role. Can you elaborate what you mean by suboptimal play?

[Snow White]

Nominate Sajin for Don Corleon & Johnny Cochran

in Gorrad's Mini 841 - FF Mafia.

Town Cop that was roleblocked by scum (me) N2, but fakeclaimed having tracked me to somebody that the SK killed. Had me paranoid that both my roleblock and kill were redirected to someone else. I insisted that I roleblocked him and he was lying scum going for a quick lynch in lylo. After a long drawn out day, he won the town's support and I went down.

When the game is over with, I find out that I DID roleblock him and my kill was doc-blocked (had no clue about the SK). Sajin pulled off a gambit where he claimed to have tracked me when really he had no clue of my alignment at the time.

Game ended in 2009 though...

Seconded

Provided its in the right thread. And Kise you claimed absorber the town roleblocker was dead.

Fifth'd Pops

[Kise]

3rd for VP's play as serial killer

[xRECKONERx]

There should totally be a scummy for best GD thread.

[Shanba]

There should totally be a scummy for best GD thread.

Speaking unofficially, and not as a member of the scummies steering committee, I can see so many terrible ways for that to go wrong. Just... no.

[xRECKONERx]

I see so many ways for it to go horribly, horribly right.

[shaft.ed]

"best" is so arbitrary that it could be problematic

[Adel]

ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!

[Sarag]

Five correct lynches in a row is unheard of.

Stars Aligned had five correct lynches (and no mislynches).

Granted

although there were more scum in that game to lynch

[dramonic]

yeah, something like 1o or 12 with all the murderers :S

[popsofctown]

Nominate Spyrex for Funniest Player

[VP Baltar]

Nominate Spyrex for Funniest Player

Perhaps you should let the 2009 scummies finish first....unless you're claiming he's going to lose.

[SpyreX]

4th'd VP's SK Shenanigans

[VP Baltar]

4th'd VP's SK Shenanigans

awww, I'm just glad to know I'll always be that one in your 17-12-1.

[SpyreX]

#1 on my list, #1 in my heart. Filthy zombies.

Nominate Percy's incantation system for best new mechanic also!

I thought this was a great idea. Worked very well in that game too. Notice day 1 the scum had 10/12 people alive lynching him. Also make larger bandwagons possible earlier in the day as people are less hesitant about someone being close to a lynch. All in all felt the mechanic wasn't gimmicky and resulted in a great end to day 2 with semioldguy taking down a scum as he was about to die.

[Vi]

Second

all that in the above post

[The Fonz]

Nominate Malthusis for best role, for the Tentaculat in the just-completed X-Com Terror from the Deep mafia.

Basically- it's a cult role that I

don't

hate. That, friends, takes some doing.

[Ellibereth]

Nominate Gayle for Funniest Player

[Incognito]

Nominate Gayle for Funniest Player

Seconded.

He was pretty hilarious in Mafia 108.

It's the sort of role I wish I had come up with, except I think he did it better than I would have :v
