Scummies 2009 Nominations

[Xylthixlm]

Nominate Tarhalindur for Best Role for Georgia Lass, Townie Speaker for the Dead from Mind Screw Mafia 3

[Xylthixlm]

I'd nominate

Empking for Best Performance by an Individual (Jester) for Mind Screw Mafia 3

except that category doesn't exist.

[Xylthixlm]

Do we really want that?

I hope nobody is taking the suggestion of a Best Jester award seriously

[Xylthixlm]

Nominate Vengeful 5 Version 2 for Best Game

- I'm serious.

Link?

this?

[Xylthixlm]

Slicey: Self-noms are frowned upon.

Nominate Xylthixlm for Funniest Role Claim for "daycop-vigilante-recruiting mason-double voter" in Medieval Mafia

(link)

[Xylthixlm]

The whole town's reaction was priceless. "stop screwing around" "I believe him" "WTF?"

[Xylthixlm]

<- (Is still hoping for some nominations for his play in Medieval Mafia... and for Best Setup and/or Best Role for Suzumiya Haruhi)

From what I saw, your biggest contributions in Medieval Mafia were (a) not looking scummy as the spokesmen for the Vehm, and (b) putting together all the flavor to catch the last scum. Which were pretty good, but not quite scummy quality awesome. You would have been much less effective if

someone

hadn't picked you and two other townies for the mason-vig group night 1

No comment on Suzumiya Haruhi because I didn't really read it, although I did notice that there were a lot of deaths/disappearances per day...

[Xylthixlm]

"Most improved player" would mean that your play used to be bad and now it's good. I haven't seen at least half of that equation. You can pick which half

[Xylthixlm]

Don't bloody well nominate/second yourself. It's poor form.

I agree.

• Funniest Role Claim
  - "George W Bush" Award
  • Xylthixlm in Medieval Mafia - nominated by Xylthixlm, seconded by Kairyuu

[Xylthixlm]

Nominate inHimshallibe for Best Performance by an Individual (town) for Mafia 95

, specifically this post where he identified all 5 scum in the game with only one false positive on day 2.

[Xylthixlm]

Or it might encourage mod's to actually start thinking outside of the box and come up with third party roles that are actually balanced a bit. *cough*Vi Pod*cough*

Criminally, it's yet to be seconded.

That looks exactly like Evil Mastermind from IRC, except that Vi has the mentor/mastermind doing the kill instead of the mentee/minion. Great minds think alike.

Evil Mastermind (sk; rare; 6+ players): You can recruit another player to be your minion. You and your minion form a team, and your minion can kill at night. You can't have more than one minion at a time. Actions: recruit

Evil Minion (unknown): You assist your evil mastermind by killing another player each night. Be careful, though: if your mastermind dies, you will die as well. Actions: kill

[Xylthixlm]

Nth VP Baltar for Best New Player
Nth SerialClergyman for Best New Player

[Xylthixlm]

Nominate The "I Never Saw that Coming" (AKA The Best Come From Behind Win) Award

reposting because I don't think anyone noticed.

Well, in that case,

I nominate DTMaster for that award.

For his play in Battle Mafia: He was extremely scummy day 1, role claimed at the very beginning of day two and even self voted. For some reason everyone kept him around, although there were several times when we were talking about lynching him, since he seemed like dead weight. He won as part of the town.

Ewwww. That's a joke nomination, right? I'm pretty sure that awarding people for playing horribly and surviving is

not

the intention of that award. Scummies are to reward good play, not ... that.

[Xylthixlm]

Awesome, thanks Kublai.

[Xylthixlm]

Nominate "Most Active Game" Award

Nominate Newbie 830 for "Most Active Game"

Activity makes a game, and we (Me and the rest of the players) made that game happen. I enjoyed reading it to the very end, evn though I did get lynched Day 1.

Nominate this for Most Enjoyable Game if you think it's appropriate.

[Xylthixlm]

Nominate Yosarian2 for Best Mechanic/Mutation

for Lynch All Lurkers.

[Xylthixlm]

Question: Does "Most Cunning Manipulation" include third party/SK?

[Xylthixlm]

Question: Does "Most Cunning Manipulation" include third party/SK?

Hmm.. SK/3rd Party play just gets an individual game award and not a body of work as most players aren't third party very often throughout the course of the year.

However I could see an argument being made about any anti-town (informed minority) performance being considered for the "Most Cunning Manipulator" award.

I have more games as SK this year than I do as mafia. Go figure.

[Xylthixlm]

One was as a replacement. Two of them were Tarhalindur games, and he has admitted nonrandomly assigning players in some games (bleh!).

Incidentally, I think you're much more likely to get a nonrandom role if you replace into a game with multiple players needing replacing, than if you start a game. There's no standard on which empty player slots to fill first.

[Xylthixlm]

New thread created for this discussion

[Xylthixlm]

mmm... But that means that some players will advertise themselves to get these things? lame.

I didn't know this was a popularity contest after all...

Advertising yourself is in poor taste, but sometimes it's better to do that if you believe you deserve a nomination that nobody has thought of. [size=0]*kisses that one goodbye*[/size]

Thanks, but I was already nominated for Professor Mafia for something else.

Nominate Vi for Professor Mafia

[Xylthixlm]

Where does mith get his judges from, anyway?

He keeps the disembodied brains of people who lose in games he mods.
