[Ythill]

Sweet. Thanks for the seconds.

I'm going to nominate a competitor for one of those categories however, and I know he deserves the scummy more than I...

Nominate:

gorkat

Award:

most enjoyable game, mini

Game:

The Neighborhood

Summary:

The set-up included a GF and a miller but no cop, a note-writing mafia spy, and a nosy neighbor. The balance was perfect... skill seemed to play a part at every turn. And the game was high-tension from start to finish. I've played a few very good minis, but this one was the best by far.

[Caboose]

I nominate

PetroleumJelly

for

Best Setup

.
Game: Read Your Role Mafia

Suggestion for new type of award:

Best Vigilante

- "The Punisher" Award

[Yaw]

Cool. Then consider that a nomination.

[Thestatusquo]

Need moar info on the role than just the name.

Basically, it's an information role that gets back whether the person you just investigated has the same or different alignment as the last person investigated.

Even if I don't win I got nomed for one of each so I'm proud

[Glork]

I maintain that Lie Detector ("Sigmund Freud" in Stoof's game) is a role which has previously existed, and consequently oppose its nomination for Best New Role.

[petroleumjelly]

Well,

I

know that as well (I know I have personally seen a Lie Detector way back when in ScumChat, and there was also a Lie Detector in Simon Mafia which was not nominated for the 2007 Scummies), but I presume that is something for the judges to consider.

I guess I could go back through the thread and include oppositions to nominations. *shrug*

[Primate]

Yeah, I can't remember the game, but there was that one where someone lie detected BJ and he was outed as a liar. He was town, obv.

[Mr. Flay]

I guess I could go back through the thread and include oppositions to nominations. *shrug*

I wouldn't bother. The judges can read over this thread for more data (which is assuming none of them will have read it already, something I find unlikely).

Thanks for that updated list! I've been way too busy to keep up with this thread this year... But

when you get done

as you work through the pages, I will copy your list to the first post, with credit.

[Thestatusquo]

I agree with flaysarian2

Basically the judges can handle the judging.
