Scummies 2008 Nominations! (Deadline: 1/15)

[Glork]

Emphatically thirded.

Pirates v. Ninjas was a Large Theme, but otherwise, I don't disagree. It looked pretty good to me.

Second Stoofer for best new role

Sorry to bust your bubble, but (aside from the "if your role is made public, you lose the ability" part), Lie Detectors have been around for a while. They are just very rarely used, because they're generally more subjective than most roles in terms of what they can "detect."


With all due respect to Stoof, I object to said nomination.

[Glork]

I'd like to bring up the possibility of best/funniest/whatever signature scummie. Thoughts?

Changes too often to be a good scummie IMO.

I was about to post the exact same thing.

[Glork]

please don't act like a complete idiot

Fixed.

A game recently ended where Talitha, DrippingGoofball, rajrhcpfreak PookyTheMagicalBear, mathcam, Glork, elvis_knits, Macros, Nonny, Axelrod, Phoebus, and Werebear were town. (some of them were replacements for each other)

Armlx, logicticus and I were scum together, and we all survived.

With all due respect,
1) Seriously. Stop lobbying for noms.
2) Games with a large number of protown drivers tend to end in shambles for the town. Calvin & Hobbes Mafia is an excellent example of this.
3) I really wasn't a part of that game until it was entrely too late for me to survive (and even then, half the people on my wagon were scums anyway), and as you said, some of the other players on that list got replaced anyway.



That said, I'll third the group nomination. Though Logic was painfully obviosly scum (and I was right that Axel had a killing role >.<), most of the town was snowed throughout the game.

[Glork]

I never said that I was a replacement. I just re-iterated what you said, that some of the players on the list did get replaced. I don't think I was calling "sour grapes" either. Too many drivers on a team causes issues, because everybody's trying to take on the same role. This applies to just about everything. Finally, in case you didn't notice, I did support the group nomination, so I don't see why you're bitching. The scums did well.


EDIT: Oh, the "I wasn't really a part of the game until it was too late" bit refers to the fact that up until I dropped off MafiaScum completely, I was struggling to keep up with any of my games. I was just commenting that, from my perspective, "Glork" wasn't really on that list, because he didn't get involved in the game (due to inactivity -- not due to not being in the game), at which point Axel's and DGB's erroneous reads, along with a couple of scum bandwagon votes, were enough to punt me off the island.

[Glork]

I maintain that Lie Detector ("Sigmund Freud" in Stoof's game) is a role which has previously existed, and consequently oppose its nomination for Best New Role.

[Glork]

I wouldn't bother.

I think it depends. If it's an opposition like "nah, the scum didn't play well, the town just sucked" then it doesn't belong. In this case, I think that the nomination itself is invalid. How can a Lie Detector be the best NEW role if it is not NEW to begin with?

[Glork]

Can anyone tell me why there are no nominations for Paragon of Mafia Hunters?

Sup.

[Glork]

That would be more appropriate for the 2009 scummies, considering the post was made in 2009.
