Nth LLD for Most Improved

If it is determined she is ineligible for the newbie scummy.

There should be an award for Latest-Start-Of-Game

Strategy Mafia - Starts Post #231

haha i was kidding, Maruchan. In any case, wait until games are over before posting about them please.

If you're interested in that kind of thing you might check out the Records page. It's more appropriate than a scummy for obvious reasons.

There's a records page on the wiki for meaningless things like this.

^ Longest Game

Maruchan · Post Post #1055 (ISO) » Fri Aug 26, 2011 10:31 am

I didn't know of the page on the wiki, and it has no category for this type of thing. just longest and shortest largest and smallest.

You can add a new category.

I kinda like that one, although it's a hall-of-shame sort of thing rather than a claim to fame... and I'm marginally worried about people 'competing' to spam the game thread before it starts.

Ythan · Post Post #1057 (ISO) » Fri Aug 26, 2011 2:20 pm

That and is this really something that needs to be awarded every year?

Yeah, hall of shame awards are tricky.

On the one hand, you want people to take them with good grace and nominated not out of malice.

On the other, you don't want people to actually be proud of the award.

It's a fine line, and basically the same as "razzing" titles have.

I think he meant this could be added to the Records wiki

I don't see malice being an issue with something as black and white as most posts before game start.

oh i don't really think it is. It's just something that goes along with most hall of shame type of things. For most posts, the latter point (i.e. taking pride in it) is the bigger problem.

Who would be stupid enough to take pride in something negative?

That was my first reaction. Then I realized it was actually kind of clever comment. Read it again.

I read it as "SK takes pride in something negative every time he posts, because his posts are shit."

Am I wrong?

nope.

Anyway, to more seriously answer your question SK, I think the title fairy thread has some examples of people taking pride in negative things.

See: RC's response to the titles proposed for him.

Although he didn't like the only really good one (CreeperCharlie).

Nominate: petroleumjelly's Double-Dip Mafia for Best New Mechanic/Mutation.

Giving everyone two votes (which cannot be placed on the same player) was a wonderfully elegant mutation to the normal rules. It made each day fluid with more wagons, more engagement, and more pressure on scummy players.

Quilford · Post Post #1070 (ISO) » Fri Aug 26, 2011 10:34 pm

It was a good game, but I don't feel I can second this because I don't feel the mechanic was particularly original.

zoraster · Post Post #1071 (ISO) » Sat Aug 27, 2011 2:30 am

Fairly similar to Farside's games too. Not that that's a bad thing

animorpherv1 · Post Post #1072 (ISO) » Sat Aug 27, 2011 11:54 am

IMO, since it's similar to Farside's game and Farside's game came first, farside's game should be nominated in that spot.

HI!

Nominate GreyICE for Best Newbie

Um...I can work on pulling a body of work for him, though I know Brotherhood of the Wolf has been linked and he was decent there. He also did well in Team Mafia Pick Your Power. I'm sure the ensuing seconds and thirds can add more to this.

Llamarble · Post Post #1074 (ISO) » Sat Aug 27, 2011 12:14 pm

Second GreyICE

In Multiple Personality Mafia he replaced in, drove one of my scumbuddies' lynch, vigged another, and performed a watcher-gambit that got me to claim targeting the NK victim.
Also in both mini 1175 and mini 1156 our hydra greymarble lynched scum D1 and got killed N1 and a good chunk of credit is certainly due to him for that.
