The 2015 Scummies - CEREMONY!

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I mean, I'm not going to back and rehash the whole thing

but the stuff in that game was like, graphic sexual violence? not just taking the piss out of people

?????????

My recollection of this was basically made fun of Umbrage through unacceptable comments about autism, and said some really offensive shit about GreyICE.

We might be thinking about different things yeah?

[T S O]

I'm also offended by the Scummies

[Thestatusquo]

I don't think this situation is even remotely similar to the game you're referring to.

[PeregrineV]

I'm so excited! My first Scummies as a presenter!

Be right back.....

[hiplop]

glad you liked it perev

Oh wow! Really well done award tale! Congrats to the winners. I'm especially happy to see Marquis and Plotinus be recognized this year!

I think CDB deserved an individual scummy for the Reck's Retrospective game. He was the captain of the ship, the glue that held the team together, and the lighthouse on the distant and treacherous shore for the scum team. And for town, he sang a mesmerizing siren song that led them to their demise.

Be seeing you!

Like 6 years ago? I don't particularly see how thats relevant though.

And that's a shitty policy. If you're going to write parodies of people you should get their permission. I am actually shocked if its not already the case. There is no other part of this site where it would be kosher to write a mocking parody of someone without getting their permission first.

Isn't this the second time that Reck has been involved in something that has written a non-approved parody of people on our site?

Wasn't his modding credentials reduced to zero the last time this occurred in a game?

First time: literally co-modded with a listmod who approved things
Every scummies ever since I've been on board: zor was on SSC, then is now involved and at least aware of the writing process

Actually, every scummies ever -- that is, literally for over a decade -- has involved using people in the Scummies as characters without perfectly checking with them first. This was the way it was done when mith was running it back in the day, so if you

actually

have a problem with it and aren't

just

stirring shit up for the hell of it, you should probably take it up with mith

[xRECKONERx]

but no ur rite #reckisevil #banhimforever #hehatespeople

[xRECKONERx]

As a person who was involved in the instance you're referencing, the situation is rather different. Using site members is standard practice in the Scummies. Unfortunate situation, definitely, but not something I personally feel Reck (or any of the writers, as someone not-Reck has claimed to have written that portion anyway) should be held responsible for in terms of punishment, etc.

Are you saying that using site members wasn't standard practice in other Meta site games prior to that one?

How is that a reasonable differential point?

spoiler alert: people had been used as characters in on-site games way before the /invitiational i ran with quadz

the objection was me using that game as a way to vent my frustrations with certain site figures in a way that they didnt deem particularly okay

even FURTHER spoiler alert!

mith is the one who started the practice of using site people in Scummies

. the only thing I did was EXPAND it to people who might not be my bffs, because it would feel really noninclusive to only write about people with whom i have a close personal friendship

[hiplop]

The Scummies are supposed to be a friendly goofy way to show how great of a community this site is. Lets not fight? Its all in the name of friendship and celebrating the awesome site this is

[xRECKONERx]

We might be thinking about different things yeah?

AND FOR THE RECORD: the specific terms of my banning had little to do with greyICE and Umbrage and were mostly because of the scenes involving dramonic & Llamafluff

but please, continue dragging me through the mud for something that occured three years ago

[xRECKONERx]

*writes scummies only about a certain group of people*

"WTF! SCUMMIES ARE SO CLIQUISH!"

*Flay literally uses an algorithm to fill in generic parts in the Scummies*

"WTF! I DO NOT TALK LIKE THAT"

*We write tasteful inclusions of people that are all in good fun*

"OMG! HOW DARE YOU WRITE PEOPLE INTO THE SCUMMIES THAT DIDNT EXPLICITLY AGREE TO IT!"

Next year we feed the membership list to Random Generator. First 13 names become filler.

[xRECKONERx]

we literally did that with flay's abandoned island year, only with the top x posters that yera

[Klingoncelt]

Umm... just use secret alts then, so no one knows who they are?

[Klingoncelt]

Not much fun in that though...

[Thestatusquo]

I thought we had already found a perfectly reasonable solution before LLD came in here and started shitposting for no god damned reason. Like wtf... This had already been fucking resolved.

Aww. I'm flattered, but there was a two-week spell during which I forgot the game was even happening, heh. I think a group award is right on the money!

[Drixx]

Holy crap. Now I get why Reck was like "This is more trouble than it's worth". Save the drama for the llama, mama.

[Katsuki]

I'm offended that I only got one line off, and was killed off to boot!

[singersigner]

Just came to check that singer won best mafia catcher; all is well with the world.

(Also I'm the first two-time Best Setup winner. Neat! I think I will celebrate by running another game.)

Congratulations everyone, especially Singer!

[Gale Wing Srock]

Congrats to the winners!
And thanks to all the judges and the committee, great work guys!
