Scummies 2011 Nominations

VI

whatever this is probs better off dying.

I agree, Katsuki should die.

Daykill: Le Cupcake

[GreyICE]

If you don't self-advertise, why expect others to?

Vi has done tons, we all know it, including Vi.

If Vi only did it for recognition... Who cares? It needed to be done, it was a ton of work, Vi did a great job. Not hung up on motives, Vi should have the recognition.

[Fate]

Just shut the fuck up Grey

Grey is actually making sense for once. Sh did the work, the point of the award is to recognize people who do the work. If he did all that work just to get a bar below his name, he's stupid, but it doesn't matter.

[GreyICE]

Just shut the fuck up Grey

Dubs lol at Fate, who cries at me all the time for "not giving him the recognition he deserves." Hypocrite.

[Vi]

This thread was much better when it was about bad country music, but since the mods don't like that sort of thing in this thread, can we at least change the subject?

[Juls]

Perhaps these site-wide awards should be handled by a committee instead of by nomination. It is easy to finish a game and say "wow that moderating was great, I'm gonna nominate" or "wow that scum team really kicked ass". However, site-wide things probably get overlooked and could be evaluated at the end of the year. We already have a judging committee so they could probably just look at the site wide contributions and make their decisions.

That being said, Vi is a work-horse. I knew she did a lot but her post really illustrates HOW MUCH WORK she does.

Nth Vi for Name in Orange

[Ythan]

Juls has a point. Work done behind the scenes is, of course, harder to put to a name.

[Faraday]

Funny. I actually think mith might award one of the awards himself and it

could

be that one. Not 100% sure though.

[Empking]

+1

[Robocopter87]

I think

Smoothest Operator

should be more of a Body Of Work award instead of a single game. A Mod can have a great game, and thats great. He could do a really good job, but if he doesn't show that same devotion and care to his other games, it doesn't really make him the Smoothest Operator.

I'm not suggesting actually moving it to Body of Work. But rather the nominations for it have more games than one.

Thoughts?

I also wanted to suggest Best List Mod. But I think that there probably is a lot of issues with a nomination like that.

[Fate]

Hey yeah, because that's EXACTLY the same.

Me, in GAME, where it is GAME RELEVANT and my PLAYSTYLE to accept credit for catching scum, lynching scum, ETCETERA. is COMPLETELY the fucking same as Vi self-nominating himself for an AWARD.

When have I EVER even so much as ASKED for a fucking Gold Star or Cookie for any of my games/accomplishments?

If someone said "Wow Look at dat Wiki Flay is so awesome" and Vi said "YO WTF I DID THAT SHIT" ... and I called her out on THAT? THEN I'd be a hypocrite.

I mean FFS I'm sure they have brain surgery so that you can tell apples from oranges but if not what the hell its all Vitamin C isn't it GREYDERP?

This makes a lot of sense to me -- only concern is that it might stop a mod who only mods once a year winning but I see your overall point actually.

I think that these awards are very flexible. The point of the award stays the same, but the details of the nominations are different. I think we could figure out a way to make it work for both types of Mods.

Also,

Nominate Thor665 for Best Performance in a Losing Cause

For his work in this game, Newbie 1114.

I understand this is a Newbie, but let me sell it to you.

He replaces into the game Day One. So he pretty much played all game. They get a claim from the JK and they get a mislynch ( not on the JK). Then Night One they nail the Cop. Day Two his partner dies.

This is the part where this nomination comes in. Since the town had decided that the JK would Jail a specific player, Thor No-Kills. Hoping to get an easy mislynch. Unfortunately this fails, as the JK didn't send in an action. Making his entire plan go down the drain and he lost a kill. Then he goes into Day Two where mykonian steps up and pegs Thor as scum. But since mykonian was scummier than Thor665, he was mislynched. Thor being the grand architect of his death secretly. Then he goes after the JK, because now the JK thinks he is scum, so there is nothing he can do about it. So he attempts, failing due to JK.

Now its Day Four. The scum is either Thor or the JK. But because of two no kills. He would have to conduct two mislynches in order to win. Which was terribly unlikely. It was going to happen, it was a losing cause.

But Thor, being the sportsman he is, pulled out every card he could think of and played it against the Town. The Town almost decided to kill the Jailkeeper. Unfortunately, he did lose. But that does not mean he did not do any excellent job.

Not only did he play excellent, the entire time he was writing down the reasons for his actions in the Mafia QT so the Newbies post game could learn from his play.

If that doesn't call for a nomination, I don't know what does.

Yes, its a newbie. Yes, he did lose. But he did an excellent job.

[Robocopter87]

Wow, I'm a terrible Salesman. Still! My nomination still stands.

Here's the QT in question, it's extremely well written out step by step guide for his actions in a very newbie friendly manner.

[Robocopter87]

Thanks. I forgot to post that.

[SleepyKrew]

Note to Judges: Be sure to check out that QT when considering Thor for Best IC.

[chkflip]

That's for the best performance nom, not--

Oh.

[CSL]

Nominate Snow_Bunny's Wizard's at the Sorcerer's Den for Most Enjoyable Game

[Nexus]

Nominate

ooba

for

Smooth Operator

,

and best flavour text

for ASOIAF: A Test of Faith Mafia

Nominate the scum team of

Empking, vezokpiraka, Thor and Spyrex

for

Best Performance Scum Team

for the same game. Spyrex and Thor had us convinced of their townness. Empking claimed scum in thread and managed to survive for like two days. Granted, we were a bit pants on head as town, but even so they played bloody well.

[CSL]

2nd all three

[MagnaofIllusion]

3rd to ooba.

[ooba]

@Nexus, CSL, MoI: Thanks!

Third

the scum team of

Empking, vezokpiraka, Thor and Spyrex

for

Best Performance Scum Team

- Think all four of them played a great game
- Good coordination: They split fakeclaims pregame. Also the counterclaim-reaction to SaintKerrigan's claims looked genuine.
- Timing of claims: Empking claimed Mafia Watcher when he was about to be lynched. More importantly, it believable and people didn't go "cult-claiming-Mafia-Watcher". He was lynched the next day but caught the CR killing someone in the night. Without that, I think cult would have won.
- Also, choice quote when there were 6-players left:

I see no situation where you're not scum.

I simply do not see a SpyreX + Thor scumteam.

Every other pairing had and passed up the opportunity to hammer you.

[zoraster]

I just want to point out that the above is a good nomination. Not that I necessarily agree or disagree with the scummy-worthiness of the people above, but the actual nomination itself gives specific examples for scummy judges to look at and lays it out. That makes the jobs of judges much easier.

(Nexus' wasn't bad [at least it wasn't just "nom: Person X"], but ooba's is an example to be followed.)
