Scummies 2007 Nominations Closed!

[mith]

Pooky's got to be up for some sort of award for his record during the Marathon games... something like 9-1 (and the "loss" was really a draw).

[spectrumvoid]

Seconding Pooky for 'best mafia player?'
Seconding Stoofer for best regular.
Seconding PJ for funniest role claim.

[JDodge]

Pooky's Marathon Day record, from the stats I have (Bastard Mod games not counted):

8-0-1, Survived 6, NKd 2, Lynched 1, 3 Mafia Wins, 5 Town Wins.

[Maz Medias]

I want to win something, but I'm the unfortunate mediocre ne'er-do-well who falls just shy of the threshold in each category.

Second:

Best Setup Award. There's an art to game setup that's different than how things get played out -- well-balanced games can get torpedoed by the players, or poorly thought out games can be rescued by great play. The "Most Enjoyable..." awards seem to reward a combination of setup and play, but I think the emphasis is mostly on the latter, and there should be something to reward the former a bit more.

i was actually just thinking about that, and i agree that a good setup deserves an award

[Mr. Flay]

Nominate: Zindaras
Scummie: Best Performance - Mafia (solo)
Game: Newbie Game #321
Link: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4867

Zindaras lost his partner D1, figured out who the Doc was D2 but didn't kill him in order to gain the Doc's allegiance, then bluffed his way through a 3-man endgame after killing the Doc once he actually claimed. Very impressive (the Doc even protected Zindy the night he killed him).

Also, I support the Best Setup, though we already have Best Theme don't we? Or did that one go away?

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

I agree with Mr. Flay here. Zindy for Best Performance - Mafia (solo). It really was fantastic play. White-knuckles all the way

[Zindaras]

[Thok]

Different Awards

:

* Best Implementation of a Concept

-Space Monkeys Mafia, hosted by Mr Stoofer. Nominated. Seconded.

* Best Setup

I think the idea is that Best Setup is what I mean by best implementation of a Concept. I'd certainly have no problem nominating Space Monkey for a Best Setup award.

[Zindaras]

I chose not to interpret nominations, only to list them.

[Yaw]

I was backing up the "Best Implementation of a Concept" concept. Whatever it would be called.

And we did used to have a "Best Theme Adaptation" category, but as can be seen from the list, no longer in existence. (I'm guessing it either got merged with "Most Enjoyable Theme" or was dismissed for lack of nominations one Scummie season.)

[ShadowLurker]

Second KellyChen for funniest player.

[spectrumvoid]

I'm seconding Zindaras for best mafia solo. I read through the game, and I really admire his gutsy play!

Edit 1: I went to do a more detailed read. I'm not too sure now. I'm torn between trying to decide whether town lost it for themselves. The doc hint from Stoofer was pretty obvious, and the other townies should have picked it up. If they had, the whole Stoofer/Zindaras conversation after the kill would be less significant. Also, I felt that Stoofer could have picked up on the fact that Zindaras was a little to obviously hinting at his knowledge of the role.

Edit 2: Now I sound schizophrenic. I'm seconding Zindaras anyway. I forget newbie games have only a simple 1 group of scum. So there was no reason for Stoofer to suspect Zindaras. I was thinking more in terms of Zindaras being some role like an unknown mafia traitor or whatever, who could not talk to mafia at night, who might be trying to alert scum to the doc's presence.

And Zindaras deserves to be nominated. That was really gutsy play, and possibly the only case where the claimed doc lives that night.

Edit 3: Yep, I'm a schizo. I'm seconding Stoofer for the space monkey game, whichever award it ends up in.

[bigAl]

* Funniest player - "The Coffee on the Monitor award"

-Thestatusquo: Nominated.

Definately Seconded for TSQ.

[Zindaras]

Updated Lists, changed the award for Space Monkey Mafia, put in links to the relevant games people where nominated for and giggled at voidybuns's schizophreny.

[Glork]

I actually seconded TSQ... bigAl should be third'd.

[Zindaras]

Gah, it's like a "Let's hide our nominations/secondings in the most obscure possible places"-game.

[Mr Stoofer]

I still think that

MeMe

is the

Funniest Player

on the site. I'm still laughing from reading this post as I type.

[Mr Stoofer]

Also, I hereby second any player who has been or will be nominated but who hasn't been seconded.

[Mastermind of Sin]

LoL

[spectrumvoid]

We need some kind of award resembling luckiest newbie.

Newbie 348:
Town lynched scum on page 2. (He would've been actually lynched on page 1, without a bolding error).
Night 1 had a successful doc protect and a successful cop investigation.
Day 2, the cop claimed.
Town won on page 3.

Perfect newbie

But not a Scummie for good play. The town won this through dumb luck, not skill. They certainly didn't deserve to win at all after the quicklynch day 1.

[spectrumvoid excepted of course - she played the perfect game.]

[Dr. Doom]

the chance of town winning that one is 1,6%, I belöieve. Incredible.
