However, we are happy to announce that the staff will begin giving out "Replacement Hero" pins to users who replace into games and complete X number of games in a calendar year. These "pins" will be small JPG bars that'd go above Scummies banners or below titles in your user profile to show that you've pitched in and helped out a mod in need. The exact number of games needed for this pin is still being determined, but expect more updates on the Replacement Hero pins from zoraster in the near future!

You guys are hilarious.
The main issue isn't necessarily the subjectivity, but that the criteria for the award is too subjective.
For example: whether you prefer a flashy scum gambit or a quiet subtle scum game is up to personal opinion, but there are definitive criteria with which you can judge someone's scum play. Did they successfully manipulate town? Did they save their buddies or strategically bus them? Etc. Compare that to something like "funniest player" -- what's funny? What qualifies as comedic or enjoyable to one person is going to WILDLY differ person to person, and it usually results in people kinda half-assing the judging and shrugging it off, or arguing why cursing is or isn't funny/offensive/etc.

I know cases and examples can be made for games where full cohesion is more or less achieved across the majority of the towns but is there really going to be enough games every year of that caliber to warrant keeping the award around? Probably not.

i would nominate you for professor mafia if that award wasn't taken away

i guess next time i write something, i should make sure i'm aware of how the game of mafia works before i do so
thanks for the criticism. i can tell you're a pretty smart person and i'll take your words into consideration
