Scummies 2011 Nominations

[Katsuki]

I knew town could still win with DTMscum. I didn't know town was fucked until I heard about MODscum.

Yes, but only because he CLAIMED scum.

No. DTM was confirmed scum the moment ythan claimed.

[Katsuki]

Nominate Reckamonic for Smooth Operator

in Reckamonic's Ocarina of Time Mafia

The most complex game I've ever played and it went start to finish without a single hitch that I can recall. Someone else come up with a better blurb.

seconding this and whatevering DTM's nomination

nth

[Katsuki]

Nominate the scumteam of Aggressive Mind Games for best performance scum team

They just played everything so perfectly. An incredibly intricate double-bus which did well to give them town credit; staying distant enough to allow the vengeful townie to shoot another townie despite the confirmed scum; going the entire game without even shooting the tracker who claimed D1 because they didn't

need

to... the win really was played incredibly perfectly by all three of them. Fugi's cop claim got the vengeful townie lynched, Fate's bus got Fugi lynched, Nacho's careful play cleared him as the beacon of towniness... just beautiful all around.

2nd

[Katsuki]

Any vengeful townie who didn't shoot conf-scum should be ashamed of himself.

In the case of the game/circumstance, the Vengeful took the right shot. It was just unfortunate that it hit town.

[Katsuki]

Town played so badly in AMG due to the brilliant play from scum, unlike in WF mafia where town just went DERP WE WANT SCUM TO WIN.

Considering I was watching the game from a scum perspective, the things they were setting up were just beautiful to watch.

clearly we disagree. I don't think objectively you'd nom such a game for a scummy, but the judges can read it and use their best judgement I'm sure.

I would, but we'd get nowhere arguing as to whether I would or not, and why.

[Katsuki]

He should've been lynched D2 though. :/

And I don't see how the scumteam of AMG derped anywhere. As said, they played incredibly from a scum perspective (eg. scum v. scum D1). The scumteam as a whole deserves best manipulation.

[Katsuki]

Town couldnt've magically known that Fate/Fugi was scum on scum.

[Katsuki]

Nth AGM nominations if needed beyond LLD

Nth AGM nominations if needed beyond LLD

This despite being pretty sure they've all hit the nth limit already

NANANA pretty sure the smooth operator one HADNT hit limit.

[Katsuki]

MOI definately deserved that "Best 3rd Party" in Blackest Night~

[Katsuki]

The problem here obviously does not lie in the principal of a mod nominating the players in his game.

[Katsuki]

The problem is that it makes it look like Vi only does this shit to be recognized for it, not for the good of the site itself, which is

what the award is supposed to be about

.

Pretty much this.

Especially for something like this, where Vi's put in a lot of work writting up all that she has, it's a shame when it starts giving off such an impression as the above.

[Katsuki]

But if you know the impression is wrong, etc.

Yes, but you do get the point I'm saying.

As seen in the thread, it has obviously led to said impression in the minds of many.

[Katsuki]

All that said, maybe we should start awarding "Best Newbie" on a semi-annual basis (first half/second half). Actually give the award when the scummy first half committee makes their decisions. That'll make the Best Newbie award mean sometime more anyway as the player who holds that award will actually BE really new rather than be, in internet time, a fairly experienced player.

That probably would solve the problem.

Tans argument was fail, and to top it off one of those lines of argument that drive me insane. "There will always be complaints therefore all complaints are automatically invalid" is the height of bad reasoning.

Lets solve it another way too.

Nominate Lady Lambdadelta for Most Improved Player

Since she's not a newbie. That should get nthed in about 12 seconds

2nd

She's come a long long way since her first and second game onsite.

[Katsuki]

nth spyspy

[Katsuki]

I would like to nominate Mastermind of Sin for

Best Replacement

for coming into a game that town had no chance to win and pretty much singlehandedly winning it for town. Details can be read here.

2nd

3rd

, completely saved game for town.

[Katsuki]

I think this would work better:

Nominate MoS for Best Replacement in Prozac's Basic Theme 3

for the reasons SC stated.

I think the Best Mafia Catcher role should exist for people who were there from the start or at least the majority of the game. IMO it's easier to replace in and get a fresh pair of eyes on the game... granted, MoS did it with flying colors, which is why I think he deserves Best Replacement hands down with no questions asked.

He already got nominated for best replacement silly.
