[clammy]

Nominate

: AwesomePants

Award

: Most Enjoyable Game (Mini normal)

Game

: Linky


Provided the most useful and well updated first post ever, created a surprising game, excellent light-touch modding that worked brilliantly with the involved players, provided enjoyable flavour text, and harnessed the set up and modding to create just the uncertainty needed for the game balance to work.

Will certainly be on the look-out for more games modded by AP.

[Adel]

Nominate:

Shy Guy

Award

Best replacement

Game:

Open 83 - Polygamist Mafia


He replaced in thinking that all of the townies were scum and that all of the scum were townies. He was openminded enough to realise that he was utterly wrong, even after writing 38 long posts presentign his case.

If he had suffered from any of the typical townie tunnel-vision, the scum would've won, for sure.

Why is there no Bus Driver award for best bus?

[Adel]

Why is there no Bus Driver award for best bus?

There should be!

[hasdgfas]

Why is there no Bus Driver award for best bus?

Why wouldn't that fall under "Best performance: scum" or "most cunning manipulator" or something else we already have?

[Erg0]

I'm not sure that we should promote bussing as an achievement in its own right.

This.

This.

Because best bus is like best roleclaim, it's not going to be lumped in with Best Performance by an Individual either.

how would you separate best bus from best scum performance then? I'd wager a guess that most best scum performance nominations included the nominee bussing.

[shaft.ed]

It's like having the slam dunk competition at the All Star game. I'd like to see it. You have best Role Claim why not best bus?

ok, so self-nominations are hated by everyone. I get that.

A game recently ended where Talitha, DrippingGoofball, rajrhcpfreak PookyTheMagicalBear, mathcam, Glork, elvis_knits, Macros, Nonny, Axelrod, Phoebus, and Werebear were town. (some of them were replacements for each other)

Armlx, logicticus and I were scum together, and we all survived.

one player wrote me a PM after the game saying,

I'm reading the scum forum with interest and just noted this:

ok, lets kill pooky then, and hope pooky analysis points away from us.

You totally got me there, that's for sure.

This is me trolling for my first individual or team scummy nomination for good play.

I love each and every one of you.

Anyone else besides me notice the irony of that almost selfnom being for "Mature" Mafia?

[Glork]

A game recently ended where Talitha, DrippingGoofball, rajrhcpfreak PookyTheMagicalBear, mathcam, Glork, elvis_knits, Macros, Nonny, Axelrod, Phoebus, and Werebear were town. (some of them were replacements for each other)

With all due respect,
1) Seriously. Stop lobbying for noms.
2) Games with a large number of protown drivers tend to end in shambles for the town. Calvin & Hobbes Mafia is an excellent example of this.
3) I really wasn't a part of that game until it was entrely too late for me to survive (and even then, half the people on my wagon were scums anyway), and as you said, some of the other players on that list got replaced anyway.



That said, I'll third the group nomination. Though Logic was painfully obviosly scum (and I was right that Axel had a killing role >.<), most of the town was snowed throughout the game.

[Adel]

the sour grapes from that "mature games" are unreal. Glork, you were not a replacement in that game. I've never seen such an all-star list bitch so much. Unreal.

[Glork]

I never said that I was a replacement. I just re-iterated what you said, that some of the players on the list did get replaced. I don't think I was calling "sour grapes" either. Too many drivers on a team causes issues, because everybody's trying to take on the same role. This applies to just about everything. Finally, in case you didn't notice, I did support the group nomination, so I don't see why you're bitching. The scums did well.


EDIT: Oh, the "I wasn't really a part of the game until it was too late" bit refers to the fact that up until I dropped off MafiaScum completely, I was struggling to keep up with any of my games. I was just commenting that, from my perspective, "Glork" wasn't really on that list, because he didn't get involved in the game (due to inactivity -- not due to not being in the game), at which point Axel's and DGB's erroneous reads, along with a couple of scum bandwagon votes, were enough to punt me off the island.

[Skruffs]

nominate: armlx

for his prformance as town in polygamist mafia. His persevrance paid off.

He should be considered a role model!
