Scummies 2008 Nominations! (Deadline: 1/15)

[forbiddanlight]

Second dd's nomination. Though I'm kinda pissed at how nerftastic my role was, lol.

[forbiddanlight]

what made it enjoyable to y'all? Judging the scummies is a pain, and this category is one of the most subjective. Whate elements of the set-up, rule set, and excution of cicero's mod duties made this game so enjoyable?

Innovative set up (well, unusual at least), interesting playing out of that set up, vote counts just prevalent enough to be useful, keeping the game intact through a few tough calls (i.e. Ennui's full roleclaim quote), prompt processing of night actions. Anything else y'all can think of?

Nominate:

Tarhalindur

Award: Best Role

"Lain Ikawura, the townie that doesn't exist" in Mind Screw Mafia II

Game: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9269

That was a really fun role to play. Essentially, my first post, I got modkilled. Except I wasn't really dead. I could post through the mod (with a PR), kill some people, vote other people, FoS other people. I mean, for all intents and purposes I was alive posting through the mod with a one shot dayvig. And this role felt really innovative in the way it was constructed.

[forbiddanlight]

It's been done.

See the Harry Potter role.

The role you posted looks to be a slightly expanded version of the above role.

Tar's mod notes explain it better than I did. It's similar but not exactly the same.

[forbiddanlight]

I stand by my nomination. This isn't the same thing.

[forbiddanlight]

Nominate: Natirasha and the Cultists

Award: Best Performance By a Team

Game: Time Abuse Mafia

Quicklynch'd town at lylo and won.

I'd say more best by an individual (cult), with Nat, but I'll

Second this

[forbiddanlight]

Nom: Tar

for

Best Contribution to Mafia Discussion

Most specifically for his introduction of a new game mechanic which he used in two of his latest games that I believe has huge potential to change the way mafia games are made and played. The mechanic I am referring to is the

Punisher Roles

(his name) that he created in B5 and Mind Screw 2.

I feel that this is more than just a "Best Role" nomination mainly because the roles themselves are not what I'm targeting. Its the idea BEHIND the roles which I feel should be recognized.

Mind Screw 2 had one punisher role:
Role: Tarhaliander, played by Nat in MS2

B5 had two:
Soul Hunter, played by Vis Major and
Lorien, played by Darox

Maybe there should be an award for best contribution to the meta?

[forbiddanlight]

Why am I starting to get the feeling that the Best Role Scummy probably has my name on it?

I still say Lain deserves it. (Also, I might be borrowing that role for an offsite game if possible)

[forbiddanlight]

Also, don't forget how I was able to get forbiddanlight to use her daykill on someone, making me have essentially 3 kills on day 3.

No, you didn't have anything to do with me using my daykill. I wasn't going to til I miscounted the living players and wanted to take it to 5. I had this great plan worked out but it revolved around 6 living players, not 7.

Anyway

Third Nat for best SK

I'd third Haruhi, but Lain was better .

[forbiddanlight]

Korts was a Sk in that game, and vollkan, Yos2, and forbiddenlight (repalcing SensFan) were the mafia team. I don't think any of the scum made any real mistakes.

I disagree that scum didn't make mistakes, but I do agree town deserves the nom.

Third Korts' nom

.

Seeing as the enjoyable game is already up to fourth, I think a fifth would be superfluous.
