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.
I tend to agree with VP more-so, but with the half year split it's not such a big deal anyway, as the judges have some time to judge it so a hypothetical unworthy game isn't the worst thing. (not saying AMG is 'unworthy.
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
My general opinion is that so long as a nomination is well explained, ESPECIALLY if it has some links to specific posts, I'm happy to see the nomination. Having actually tried to judge games, there's not much more frustrating than trying to go back and read a game I have no connection with with no guidance. I'd say a nomination with an explanation was roughly three times as likely to get a serious look from me. A paragraph description of why you think a nomination is worthwhile (especially if you're the first nominator) and goes a long way to actually getting that nomination some credit with the judges. Perhaps we should have a category for "Best Scummy Nomination Explanation"
I don't generally mind if people are trading nominations so long as they honestly feel like the other person merits a nomination.

That said, for the judges, I think it would be helpful if we had a system of antinominations, perhaps one that was not in the same thread as the actual nominations (I don't like when it devolves into an argument... this thead is for nominating, not arguing*). Maybe there could be a scummy judging "drop box" or something where players who feel a nomination is not deserved could comment. I think negative responses are nice for judges -- it helps further sort the nominations -- but I don't think the system of saying "your nom sucks" is the right way to do it.

Considering I was watching the game from a scum perspective, the things they were setting up were just beautiful to watch.
I actually thought it was the other way around 100%, though both had a bit of derp.
nth mith for best manipulation
The way he voted for Llamarble was the ONLY thing that ruled out Llamarble/mith as the scumteam even though I had all three dead to rights from day one. x.x It was a really brilliant and risky move.
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.

I tried so hard to lynch mith day 2.
AMG scumteam did a good job. I just thought town could have done a bit better than they did.
