Scummies 2016 Nomination Thread

[Psyche]

yeah but you can't trust psyche to get anything done

[Psyche]

post the nom too!

[Psyche]

do it in thread so that you can celebrate achievements that would otherwise only get recognized in

like a year

by the scummies committee

if

you're lucky

[Psyche]

it's as simple as sharing the google form's associated spreadsheet

[Psyche]

if it's not something you'd be okay saying publicly, it's not something you should submit as part of a google form...

[Psyche]

the anti-nom form shouldn't be a space to demean other people behind their backs; it should be as public as anything else

[Psyche]

oh is zor part of the steering committee too

[Psyche]

a form makes it easier for the scummies people to do their jobs

[Psyche]

I leave most things to them, but I'm not interested in the official scummies being a place where public grudges are played out. In no way does that seem like an appropriate use of the scummies.

your totally different argument in your previous post was a bit stronger

[Psyche]

really zor why ever give people any power if you don't really trust them to use it wisely themselves?

[Psyche]

are people now upset that we are using a Google Form to make the lives of the SSC easier and not have to wade through unruly code?

jesus fucking christ on a dill pickle yall get mad over E V E R Y T H I N G

nono
people just would like nominations to be made available for public view somewhere
it would make the whole process a bit more satisfying for the nominating and the nominators, i think

[Psyche]

traditionally, nominations have been about more than just hyping up an eventual ceremony
it's been the main way the community recognizes and spreads the word about what makes it great

[Psyche]

does an mvp award in every major team sport cause the sports to be seen as individual games..?

[Psyche]

honestly i can't understand the impatience

[Psyche]

It's likely we will consider scrapping the ceremony

if it comes to this, instead let me take over the whole thing

[Psyche]

It's veering into "more trouble than it's worth" territory

ok but don't make that call for everyone
if you find it too troublesome to write for the ceremony, just stop and leave it to people who don't

[Psyche]

that's beside my point
im saying that you shouldn't make the call for everyone else about whether the ceremony should stop being held just because you no longer want to be involved in making it

[Psyche]

i don't want to project and i might be wrong, but you seem to think that if you stopped writing for the scummies, then there would be no ir less writing for the scummies
but in reality, more people would step up to fill the gap; they would work harder simply because there would be more work to do
the thing is that people just don't really

see

a gap present until several weeks after a ceremony was supposed to be held
in a sense, your legacy as someone who ends up doing everything sort of enables this lack of industry from the community at large
i also think your grip on the writing process makes every else involved sort of more passive/reactive when it comes to producing content, turning them into people who have to be instructed and prodded, but i think that's another thing
it's not because it's

you

that this has happened — it's just the role your legacy has created for you
id probably be more interested in the whole thing if i were some sort of sociologist

[Psyche]

i can understand why you wouldn't let me run the whole thing
especially when so many people are volunteering to be team players
its basically just a running joke for me now
until......?!

[Psyche]

i guess if the ceremony stops being run that gives my alternative ceremony idea more room to breathe

[Psyche]

what would it take to democratize this process a bit more

[Psyche]

brexit has me afraid of democracy i take it all back

[Psyche]

ohoho

[Psyche]

there's a thread about it in omerta but

[Psyche]

wait
professor mafia is still a thing?

[Psyche]

haha silly me
