Scummies 2015 - Nomination Thread!

[T S O]

Welcome! You are The Black Cat! You are one of the Morbid.

You have the following abilities ~

While Alive:

- Your vote and your wits.
- You are a self-voyeur. After each night, you will learn all (if any) actions that targeted you, but not who performed the actions.

While Dead:

- If you are lynched, the number of scum who voted you will be revealed in your cardflip.

Win Condition:

You win when all threats to the Morbid have been eliminated or nothing can prevent that from occurring.

One, at least one! There are at least one non-Morbid betrayer involved in my demise!

I'd argue the role was slightly misleading - Lynx, for one, was misled.

[Nachomamma8]

The reveal was misleading, yes, but I wouldn't say the role was.

Nominate DeasVail for Best Third Party in Quil's Smalltown

[Bookitty]

Second nom for DeasVail

.

This nefarious little sneak chose Bulletproof, gave it to the Bodyguard night one and claimed the hearts and minds of town to skate through without any serious suspicion all through the game. He killed scum night one and again on night four. DeasVail clearly cannot be trusted. Make him wear the name tag of shame!

[Quilford]

3rd DeasVail

A classic, textbook-perfect performance. The kind of Serial Killer your dad admired when he was growing up and your mum thought she would settle down with.

Nominating Hilariously Unbalanced 2 for Game of the Year, Best Mutation, and Best Setup (if they exist)

I've never met a setup that fucked with my mind so hard as scum. I think that's all that has to be said. She said it was a mind fuck and she did not disappoint.

I only hope I can make the sequel, and make it be so much as half as fun.



Since I get no special banner for this, I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to participate in the nom, so:

Nth Hilariously Unbalanced Mafia 2 for Game of the Year

.
In spite of starting with 27 players, the game was close, coming down to five players before

town

won. All the factions in the game played reasonably well, and many of them had a shot to win until near the end. As the moderator, I can tell you that it was an absolute blast to watch all the craziness unfold, and the speculation from town and scum alike throughout the game was absolutely magnificent, right or wrong. I have it on good word that the game remained fun even after death (or in some cases, even after having lost the game) for multiple people, and there aren't many games which can claim that credit.

It was crazy. It was fun. It was a blast. The players were all great. It was a close game. (I'd argue it was well-designed with a great mechanic and yet appropriately named, with good flavor and decent moderator calls with an above-adequate number of VCs, but that's not my call to make as the biased moderator.) It was fairly lengthy but not overwhelmingly so (at least not by modern mafiascum standards), and it displays many of the traits found in your typical mafia game on MS.net (both the bad and the good).

Spectators enjoyed it. Almost every player enjoyed it. It was just a wonderful game, and I truly think that the game deserves this nomination if no other. The year may be fairly young, but I don't think I will enjoy any game more for the next year (or even longer) more than I enjoyed Hilariously Unbalanced Mafia 2. It simply has no (haha) equal in scale.

What more can you ask for?

[farside22]

4th Kodak moment.

[copper223]

Nominate Self-Sensor in Edgar Allen Poe uPick Mafia for Best Mechanic/Mutation/whatever these categories are being called now.

The reason why I love this role is because of how differently the role is played from a typical power role and because of how thoroughly the role dominates the game without making the game mindless and unfun.

The first interesting element of the role is that it's a town role that wants to be lynched: this feeling of death over a player's head either motivates them to play strong and aggressive since they only have one shot to capitalize on the massive gains possible from this role (an entire majority confirmed to be town, instant game won), but unlike other "death hanging over head roles", when the player dies is entirely up to that player and gives the player a good deal more control over their fates than other broken as shit but doomed roles do.

N-th

, I enjoyed this role and the whole game design a lot.

Game of the Year

Nominated: (Hilariously Unbalanced Mafia 2 First: Titus Second: Mastin2

While my nomination was the most detailed, I think that

technically

, the second was technically theelkspeaks, with Alchemist21 as a 3rd and mine being a 4th (shos's in this case not counting as an explicit support).

[quadz08]

I want to

nom the town of Drawn On Arrival: The Movie: The Game for Best Town Performance

.

In a 27-player role madness large theme, they won the game in 6 days. 9/19 town players were alive at the end of the game. They removed 7 anti-town roles from the game (in 6 days). They lynched town exactly once, on Day 5. The Mafia team was completely wiped by the end of Day 4, with 4 mafia lynches in a row (and the SK killing one N2).

There was some help (namely, the SK killing himself on a claimed PGO N1), but the town won this game early with dayplay, and used their extreme numbers advantage to allow the remaining PRs to lock down the backup SK on Day 6. Not much more to say about this - utterly dominant dayplay from the town led to the mafia having absolutely no chance whatsoever.

[Marquis]

2nd

really dang scary

[Untrod Tripod]

3rd

[Aeronaut]

There was some help (namely, the SK killing himself on a claimed PGO N1),

... that's what I get for not paying attention

However,

Nth

. Town did a great job.

[mastin2]

As part of the town of the game, take my words with a grain of salt, but

Nth Drawn on Arrival for Best Town

.

Worth noting is that the game

almost

ended a day earlier than it did, which would have been a zero-mislynch game.
But quadz really did say it: On Day One, the lynch was on scum...but not only was the lynch on scum, the

backup

lynch was

also

on scum.
On Day Two, this trend continued: the lynch was on scum, and the backup lynch was also on scum.
Day three continued with the scum lynch, and day four finished them off when the town by simple POE had managed to lock things down and narrow the lynchpool to probscum candidates.
It was clean and efficient, with lethal PR usage that netted scum after scum. No single player can claim credit for the victory; basically every major town player played a huge part in leading the charge towards an efficient, decisive victory.

[Aneninen]

I want to nominate

T S O

for his excellent scum performance

[Most Cunning Manipulator]

in The Masquerade.

Some really great manipulation there. He wouldn't be lynched if three more days went by, that's how solid his scum game was, here.

+1 that
