Scummies 2011 Nominations

[Kublai Khan]

Nominate Hoopla for Name should be in Orange.

When she took over as Open List Mod, she really cleaned things up. See this thread in particular, along with the new C9++ setup.
I can't believe Hoopla hasn't even been nominated yet, cuz she really deserves something.

Second.

Hoopla's been awesome.

[Andrius]

Nominate Lord Chronos for Best Performance in a Losing Cause for Battle For Olympus Mafia

LC survived 5 days as the sole member of his scum-team, and would have won if not for MoI self-hammering (Scum had made MoI a bomb, and if any other town member had hammered, LC only had to make a single successful kill to win). Was great fun to watch, especially when two of his scumbuddies fell victim to a cop+double-lynch.

2nd

as the Mod of that game, LC hung out for 5 gamedays after his last buddy was lynched, and definitely fought the good fight through failed kills and an organized town.

[Hinduragi]

There's probably more I should be checking on but right now these will have to do.

Can I nominate someone?

http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18412 AurorusVox for LIPD Mafia. "Smooth Operator" award.

Everything ran smoothly, no hiccups, and even handled an incident involving cryptography with class and merit.

Nominate AlmasterGM for the Paperback Writer Award for his work in DEFCON 3.0

Nomimate Lost Butterfly (Faraday+Mina) for Best Flavor for Scummer Fantasy Camp U-Pick thingthatjustended

The flavor was funny, it was clever, and unlike most flavor, you actually wanted to read all of it.
Honorable mention to Gammagooey.

[Yosarian2]

I hesitate to do this as town's messing up was in large part the cause of scum winning the game, and part of me hates to reward the playstyle, but...

Nominate GreyICE for Cunning Manipulator

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 23&t=19225

So, GreyICE managed to lead his scumteam to a victory. In a mylo situation where the setup said there was (at least) one town bulletproof, he claimed bulletproof knowing that he'd be counterclaimed. He did this when a town power role had a cop's guilty on him. And he got counterclaimed by Fate. In the end, he managed to get the cop's claim lynched. Admittedly, the cop's guilty was a backup and the claim there was less than stellar, but I think n terms of actual pure manipulation with posting, GreyICE definitely did it.

Nothing against GreyICE, but he didn't really do any manipulation in that game. He didn't need to, town self destructed quite effectively while scum mostly just stood by and watched.

[Llamarble]

Eh, it was a perfect game against a good playerlist and a borderline insane amount of town power.
He overcame a mylo guilty on him and helped keep town from getting it's head on straight in earlier days.
D1 all 4 players run up were town.
Maybe that game isn't going to win him the award by itself, but it's certainly a solid addition to his body of work.
His distancing with Zang was also particularly well done.

[Ellibereth]

It's a shame this hasn't been nominated that I can find:

Best New Role / Mechanic

: Scavengers in Into Africa, by LlamaFluff

2nd

I like counter-lurker roles

[Seraphim]

D1 all 4 players run up were town.

Yeah. I think this proves Yos's point.
Town shot themselves in the foot.

[Llamarble]

... Scum have to play pretty well for that to happen, ya know.
D2 you can attribute to tracker-gate (though forcing it through still took some doing and we set it up the night before by preventing the vigshot on Lurc), but D1 and D3 we (especially Grey) did a darn good job.
I'm frankly quite proud of winning against that setup.

[Seraphim]

D1's quicklynch of Yos can be attributed to trackergate and my lynch on D3 can partially be attributed to trackergate along with the setup.

But honestly.

I'm not saying it wasn't a great game for scum. I'm just saying that town playing an awful game and scum taking advantage of it isn't scummy-worthy.

[Llamarble]

That's fair, I got pretty scared town would lynch Grey or I D1 after Yos Andrius and LLD all made convincing PR claims.
Lurconis kind of came to the rescue there.

[GreyICE]

There was a lot of town power, and the setup confirming many roles didn't help, but yeah, we got lucky.

Then again we were up against a cop, 2 trackers, a doctor, an even night vig, a bulletproof, and a universal backup, we needed to get lucky.

[zoraster]

Some luck, maybe. But the fact that town ran up something like 4 different town members to claim on D1 without ever getting a scum member to do the same is at least in some small part attributable to scum's actions (or lack thereof).

[Fate]

We ran up Zang at one point what the hell >.>

[zoraster]

he didn't claim did he?

[Force of Nature]

Zang only ever had votes from Grey / Fate / Spyrex if I recall right.

[Zang]

I also voted LLD. I never did claim though.

[GreyICE]

It's almost like mass claim would have been pro town.

[Fate]

he didn't claim did he?

If you're going to get techincal, Lurc never claimed because he was wagonned. I took the wagon off him when it was fairly obvious he was town, he claimed to COUNTER Yos.

[Yosarian2]

Yeah, we would have lynched GreyICe on day 1 if it wasn't for the confusion about how a role worked leading to a incorrect counterclaim. It was really pure luck that saved him; Grey was fairly obviously scum on day 1, although he did improve his play later in the game.

[Llamarble]

To be fair, had Lurc not botched his tracker claim in the first place there'd still be a good chance his CC would result in your lynch.

[Seraphim]

Not especially, when you consider it was stated in the first post that scum have a list of roles not in the game and that 1v1 would not be a good trade on D1.

[GreyICE]

God the raw level of overpower that town had...

[Yosarian2]

To be fair, had Lurc not botched his tracker claim in the first place there'd still be a good chance his CC would result in your lynch.

Eh, probably not. If he'd understood his role, and claimed properly, it would have been a big point in my favor that I knew that the town tracker could track power roles but had to have a point contest to track the scum kill. There's really no way a scum could have known that, not even a scum tracker since a point-based scum tracker role would presumably work differently then that.

Anyway, the way the mod say there were "at least two info roles" make 3 info roles not especially surprising.
