Mish Mash Scummies 2015 - Nominations

[Scummies]

Mish Mash Awards

• Best General Mish Mash Game
  Spoiler: Description

  Also known as the "Mashtermind" award. This award is for the moderator. Any game that is run in Mish Mash -- other than the ones excluded by the below category -- is eligible for this award. It can be a board game! It can be an endless, continuous game with no end! It can be a game show! Hell, it can be a beauty pageant for all we care! What mod really rocked it out and made their game extra special this year?
  
  
• Best Social Game
  Spoiler: Description

  This award is for the moderator(s). This award can be given to any game that has a decent number of players and relies on social manipulation. Yes, obviously, your Survivor games and Big Brother games will go here. But so can The Mole, or Amazing Race, or any sort of game that involves a reality-style competition. Running these games can be a long, difficult, arduous process, and nobody is perfect, but if you feel a mod did a great job, toss up their name for consideration.
  
  
• Best Overall Mish Mash Player
  Spoiler: Description

  Also known as the "Smash Mouth" award. This award goes to the person who best exemplified what it takes to be a great Mish Mash Player throughout the year! They were smart, strategic, and tactical? Check. They were enjoyable, nice, and pleasant? Check. Did you sign up for a game when they did because you wanted to play with them? Then this is the award for them!

[Scummies]

Welcome to the new and improved Mish Mash Scummy system. We hope you'll all enjoy and make use of it to honor outstanding games and players in the Mish Mash community. Also, if you have suggestions for a name for the Large Social Game award, that would be in order.

Thread will be opened once it's been stickied.

[StrangerCoug]

Opening nominations.

[PrivateI]

What time frame are we looking at for this particular set? For example, could Survivor: Doctor Who be nominated even though it was completed in 2014?

[xRECKONERx]

No -- Scummies go by end-date.

[PrivateI]

So this set of awards will be for any game which ends in 2015?

What do we do if we want to nominate a game which theoretically never ends? Like Multiple-Choice Trivia, or something lke that?

other than the ones excluded by the above category

Also, are these not called the Mashies?

Edit: never mind.

[xRECKONERx]

No, they're not called the Mashies. The Scummies are expanding to include Mish Mash because it's an important part of our site.

If a game does not have an end-date, then we'll accept nominations in any year it was active.

[D3f3nd3r]

This is for the current year, correct?

[CuddlyCaucasian]

It is for the current year.

Games that never end are harder to judge since most of them don't really

have

mods, and the award itself goes to the mod of that game.

[SleepyKrew]

Suggestion:
Games that never end can only be nominated for the year they started in. The person that started it gets the award.

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, piggybacking off of what CC said, the two game awards are for the mods of the game. So, it's highly unlikely one of those games would win over a one-and-done type game that had a mod.

[Shiidaji]

It physically hurts knowing that Jal/Nya's Game of Thrones will never get a Mashie

Mashies were an old, crumbled concept that didn't take off. How long do we have for nominations?

[vonflare]

^ well since the noms are for 2015, im assuming.... all year

[Equinox]

Nominate Telephone Pictionary: The Mandate of Heaven for Best General Mish Mash Game

Ether is a solid moderator who has run several smooth, well-oiled machines that have become a staple in Mish Mash. This game in particular was run very well such that Ether kept the game constantly moving, and the players of this iteration made this one of the better EPYC games over the last few years.

[ChannelDelibird]

Second Telephone Pictionary

. Probably the best iteration of that game we've had yet, both in terms of moderating excellence and contributions from the players.

I whole-heartedly agree with this sentiment

Nominate Guess the movie from the screenshot for best general mishmash game

I am not exactly sure how hard it is to take those screen shoots but it seems like Khan would need to put in alot (or atleast some) of effort to find captures that don't give the movie right away.

[Nero Cain]

I am so tired....

I whole-heartedly agree with this sentiment :(

Check their profiles!

I don't think it's an official scummie any more than my vestigial one was, but SleepyKrew and I pulled a couple strings. Especially SleepyKrew. I know this went beyond just invoking title fairy magic, at least.

Also, thanks for all the nominations! The next Telephone Pictionary game should run sometime in May or June. Feel free to AIM/Skype/PM me if you're interested but will only be free to play for some of that timeframe; I haven't really pinned things down more than that.

[Cephrir]

Yes indeed. Minimal fanfare, but it (just) happened.

[SleepyKrew]

The only string pulling I did was forwarding Ceph and CC your PM
