Eh Vengeful Ghosts is kind of a "mini", the mean number of players in the game each day phase is as high as or higher than a large theme, and that likely contributed to its probability of being nominated. It raises the point that Marathon is a better category than Micro because it's hard to technically fit the category without being highly similar to the other games that are elegible, all Marathons truly have fast deadlines."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"-

The very most recent marathon weekend was back to back games"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

With a new year kind of starting for the mashies, I think they should be expanded to truly represent the greatness that is all things mish mash.
First, I would love to see an award specifically dedicated to the best LSG player. In my mind, this would kind of split from the current masterstroke award and that one would specifically focus on great mish mash gameplay and this focus on great LSG gameplay. I think being involved in the two is often different and probably really hard to judge and compare between. Plus LSGs deserve more attention bc they are the best
Second, I would love to see an award specifically for mish mash marathon games or perhaps social games in general that just don't fit into the category of LSGs. We've had a lot of really fun games like this ran by PrivateI, D3f, etc that don't really fit into a current awards category but should get some recognition because they are lovely.
Third, I think the mashies should include a lifetime achievement award. While the current slate of awards is great--I think it's important to note there are some individuals who have put together many great performances and games but not within the same year and over a longer period. This would be awarded to someone each year who has done a lot of great things in a lot of ways over a long time that have benefitted the community. Winning this award would also likely disqualify you from winning it again anytime soon.-

I also have some suggestions for changes to the mashies.
We seem to have a "favorite player" award that encompasses play over the whole year, but no corresponding award for mods. I think we should also have a "best mod" (body of work) award as well as a "best overall person in mish mash" that includes both modding and playing (similar to what I think the newbie award is for, but not specific to newbies). The latter could be a lifetime award like aronis suggested, although I think a yearly one is also fine!-

Hey Aronis!
I actually really like your suggestions!
I was thinking of a lifetime award myself, and after getting more involved this year did think the marathon games should have a different award to qualify for.
I can't promise changes, but I do think you have some good backing to your ideas.
Would you like to expand on any thoughts in the post here or is this a good enough backing to things? I'd be happy to present thoughts to the committee either wayHalf meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking

Lillith, these are also wonderful suggestions!
I would love to discuss this more, wither here or on Discord. Same to you Aronis.
I think these are good ideas all around which could use implementation and I hope we can make something workHalf meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking

Hi
I think that rising star should be reserved for people who haven’t won another individual award — if your play was good enough to win DC or paragon, rising star should go to someone else
Also that it should probably be only available in your first like, 2-3 years of active play on-site
Bring back a Most Improved scummy for players who are more established who suddenly shoot up in terms of their play but not necessarily enough to win DC or paragon"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

I don't like a most improved award because it's so weird to measure how bad they have to start or how good they have to get. If the award isn't axed it should be for players with join dates in the formula Cabd is saying. If rolling out the award in may this year isn't a wakeup call to start axing some awards though geez."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Winnow down the awards, upgrade the amount of vetting and quality done. Something like this, blind and not looking at previous awards or categories:
For Players:
For Mods/Meta:
Site is not the same size as it was in the heyday, and that mans less folks willing to sit down and slog through thousands of pages of games to collect this stuff.
Why does "kodak moment" need a scummy, for example? I'd rather a thread where we come together and celebrate all the worthy ones informally and talk about the cool shit that went down like the boomer-site we are.ShowHave retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia.

Silly suggestion:
Add a category to the scummies of "funniest game".
Idk if anyone should be awarded for it but it would be fun to nominate for.-
