Scummies Nominations 2019

[Ankamius]

nth newsroom

being invited into that masonry was a pleasant surprise and it really stands out as an experience in my mind even if the game... was basically over by that point.

[row][cell]6/19/2019[/cell][cell]Irrelephant11[/cell][cell]northsidegal[/cell][cell]Micro 864 | The Newsroom[/cell][cell]northsidegal created a unique role for Newsroom: Town Public Surveyor. This role allowed a player (in this case, skygazer) to recruit a single player from outside the game (in this case, the worst) to make a private thread with, for the purpose of helping to solve the game. In a game full of pts and "interviews", this fit the flavor amazingly well. But even more importantly, it was a brand new role (as far as I know) that was tons of fun for skygazer, and added something really new to the game of mafia. In a time where "players who aren't in the game can post in the game" is having something of a moment, this role seemed like an elegant and balanced way to have that sort of fun. Nice work, nsg [/cell][/row]

(among two 2-man scumteams, a small cult, and two serial killers), insomnia changed everything in lategame. As town psychiatrist, he correctly identified and targeted both serial killers, converting them both to townies on N3 and N4, winning the game for town on N4. Though I tried my best to get him to target me (a werewolf), I failed, and instead of a continued town slaughter, the game ended abruptly when the last serial killer shot me and converted to town all at once. Nice aim, insomnia [/cell][/row]

These will be added right now!

btw relly, that role isn't new its something that was seen in a couple of games already.

he didn't use the [color] codes.
Its fine tho, the noms are up in the main post.

Which is BTW
The sheet was awful for me to transcribe awards onto here, since the form kind of a thing to symbolize that the process was automated, but if I am willing to do this manually, then the form just creates more work for me.
This is significantly easier and I've heard it was a complaint that people don't like the form and would much rather like to submit a nomination by posting in thread.
Now thats possible.

[Jingle]

nth insomnia nom. Despite barely being in that game, that was some damn impressive carrying.

[Dannflor]

Speedrunner
6/19/2019	Dannflor	the worst	HALF MAST NIGHTLESS	Simultaneously dubbed the worst and best marathon ever, this (in)famous game ran for 60+ pages and nearly 4 hours. In the game, the scum team not only made their scummiest member the flag bearer but were also nearly revealed by a mod error in the vote counts. Though frustrating at points, this record breaking game was entertaining and memorable for most everyone involved. It wasn't the perfect marathon, but nevertheless it was an unforgettable experience. An enjoyable mess that still gets referenced several months later—not only for its size but for the player list and the specific absurdity of how the game went down. The players played their hearts out despite the draining length and nature of the game. the worst—despite his unfortunate mod error that could have given away the scum team—maintained consistent vote counts for 4 hours straight, was succinct with deadlines, and kept things moving as quickly as possible in an exhausting game of ridiculous size.

am i doing this right

Yes you are!

@Everyone who keeps nthing
what would be the best way to include that? I'm down to hear suggestions.

Also a reminder, if you're not happy with the best marathon award name "speedrunner" then feel free to suggest a diff name.

[davesaz]

Add people to the submitter column, maybe in parenthesis.

[Jingle]

Or just a leading +

[Jingle]

So for example, my nth would be
rellyphant
+Jingle
+etc

[Gamma Emerald]

"Fun Size" for Best Marathon name?

[SleepyKrew]

Speedrunner is a great name.

[schadd_]

pheidippides

[Gamma Emerald]

I like Fun Size though since it is the term for a really small candy bar, which is what a Marathon is compared to a regular mafia game, and it should generally be going to a fun game.

[SleepyKrew]

pheidippides

god this would be fantastic if marathon game wasn't a misnomer

[Alisae]

rellyphant

This is something I'm implimenting as well starting with nths from this post and onwards.
So nths from this point onwards will be counted.
If you want to nth a nomination, I'll include it as long as its after this post.

Nths w/o write ups will be given a +{USERNAME} like how I updated the tables to look like.
Nths w/ write ups will be given its own row.

Also make sure to bold nths.

[Gamma Emerald]
