Totally disagee - If you are 'giving up' you are not playing towards your wincon and you should not be playing games if you just give up when things look bad

Best Performance Pro Town Team
- Successfully lynched scum players for five straight Days (Days 1 to 5) and vigged two more scum players. The Town completely destroyed the known original 9 scum roles by the Dawn of Day 6 and lost a 5 player endgame due to a Cult that was unknown at game's start.
1) Doesn't Town have to -win- to be considered?
2) With as many power roles flying around as there were, one would hope they COULD do this.

I blame Vi for dying N1

We should mate.

Freudian slip much?

I mis-remembered it was for the Newbie award we got them to send in samples of their games or at least someone sent us the relevant samples.

Nobody asked me to send in samples of my games...

So must be the latter

Making it something like February or March is probably much fairer. At least until someone shows me that a player who played on site 4 months was ever seriously considered for the award EVER in the past (doesn't have to win, but show serious consideration for a 4 month poster in any past scummies (all current nominees have been on site far longer).

And then in a year someone who joined in January or February (based off your February or March statement) will complain.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Unless you said can be nominated for any game that was completed within your first year of joining the site.

You get nominated for a particular game I think, and they go off that game, not your complete body of work, I think...

I was nominated within just a hair after 2 months of being on site. I said, basing it off a full year would make sense, so LLD could be nominated for any game that completes before her August 31st anniversary.

BTW, GreyICE, You swearing at me and calling me fail is quite rude. I was kinda agreeing with LLD, but you can't just put a cut-off date in, it would have to be within 1 year of joining the site kinda thing IMO.

Just a question, if you start in August of 2010 and get nominated for a game that you finished in say december 2010 you can be nominated for 2011 scummy for newbie for 2010, but what happens if you also do a great game in march 2011 - can you be nominated again in 2012 for best newbie?

Slippery slope and all that jazz.

Waiting for GI's awesome insult for the above sentence.

You don't agree?

You start making one exception, and then another, etc etc.

Are you unfamiliar with that expression?

Fate's nom. A mason claim on D1 is ballsy as fuck and I've always wondered if I could get away with that. The site meta has changed a little because of Fate's claim and that's impressive.

What about claiming cop on D2 in a large theme and saying your scum buddy is innocent?
