Scummies 2008 Nominations! (Deadline: 1/15)

Nominate:

Tarhalindur

Award:

Most Enjoyable Mini (Theme)

Game:

Mini Theme 622 - Mind Screw Mafia

I think it says something that this game only ever needed one replacement (i.e. that this game was far too awesome to flake on). We started off not knowing any of the rules, which led to the Godfather inadvertantly shooting himself N1, and the setup certainly kept us guessing right through to the end. Definitely the most fun I've had in a game of mafia in my few months of playing so far.

I just spent the past week reading through the game as preparation for when I start my first, and he played brilliantly.

Thank you, you're very kind.

I've just finished reading that game, and it was a cracker. Seconded.

Man, sounds like a carbon copy of a game I ran...

Xtoxm, nominated by DrippingGoofBall, seconded by Oman.

I will third this.

Xtoxm's overall play has gotten better than it was when I first started playing with him. He still makes mistakes (Everyone does) But I have seen a vast amount of improvement overall and so I will gladly third this. I am actually looking forward to the next game I play with him not just because I think it will be fun, but also because I think it might be challenging should we be in oposing factions.

Nominate Quagmire for most improved player

He had significantly cut down on what others would call "disruptive elements" in his playstyle, and was generally taking the game more seriously and kicking ass and taking names.

unfortunately, Quagmire is banned...

Nominate Knights of Cydonia for this award for failing to realise these awards are for people doing well and not to berate them or advocate crap play

That would really be another "funniest player" prize.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with his play so far this year. Try again, please.

Is 4 a bad number or something?

"It is, why is that?"

iamausername · Post Post #420 (ISO) » Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:30 am

Just remembered, this part of Mind Screw needed a nom all of its own:

Nominate:

Tarhalindur

Award:

Best Role

Role:

Haruhi Suzumiya (Townie Dreaming God).

Seriously, that was such a great game.

Personally i disagree. Last year Xtoxm was my candidate for Best Newbie. Ever since i've seen him playing on the site he has held 2 characteristics:

Awesome as town.
Abysmal as scum.

As far as i can see, those pretty much summed him up when he first got here. I'd nominate him for Best Overall Protown Player, but not really Most Improved.

Aww, thnx guys!!

And BM - Yes, I do suck as scum, but i'm getting better! I've just cashed in 2 scum wins

Are you guys up for anything so I can return the favour?

Tarhalindur · Post Post #424 (ISO) » Mon Sep 01, 2008 7:23 am

Nominate:

The Town of Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Award:

Best Performance By A Team

Game:

Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Seriously, my scum team got OWNED due to the quality of play from the town. We would have gone down in flames a lot earlier than we did if the town hadn't bought my gambit and ignored Elmo for so long.

Speaking of that game...

Nominate:

OhGodMyLife

Award:

Best Flavor Text

Game:

Mini 594: Satin Doll Showdown

Here there be some of the best flavor text I've seen in a Mini Normal in some time.
