Hello!~ And welcome to the 2020 Scummies Nomination thread! Here, you can discuss other nominations with other scummers alike. The awards themselves are handed out during the Winter season of the next year during a ceremony, where we celebrate mafiascum for the year of 2020!

Here is how you can read the chart.

Banner | Award Name | Award Purpose | Body of Work or Individual Game | Group/Individual/Moderator Award.

The Banner: With a reward comes a banner, and here is a preview of what the banner looks like!
Award Name: Usually they're will be some fancy award for the name. Some names for awards might change, but this is what the award is called for the most part or how its refered to.
Award Purpose: This is what the award is awarding.
BoW or Individual Game: Awards that are listed individual game will require a link to 1 game. Those that require a body of work will require 3 games to be included in the write-up.
Group/Individual/Moderator Award: There are 3 types of awards. An individual award, which is rewarded to 1 player, a group award, which is rewarded to 2-5 players, and a moderator award, which rewards either the moderator themselves and/or their co-mod, assuming said co-mod took part in all parts of design of the game and execution of the game itself.

In addition to submitting a nomination, you can also submit an anti-nomination, speaking against a nomination. These will not be listed publicly, but forwarded to the judges who decide to judge.
See the post below on how to nominate someone for a scummy or submit an anti-nom!

The Awards
♩　　　♫　　　♪
Townplay Awards
	Paragon of Mafia Hunters	Best Mafia Catcher	Body of Work	Individual Award	This award is awarded to the single town player who, across all of their games for the year, exhibited the best ability for nailing those dirty scumbags and bringing the bad guys to justice while playing as a pro-town role. The person who wins this award should have demonstrated the best townplay during the year.
	Moment of Brilliance	Best Town Performance	Individual Game	Individual or Group Award	This award is awarded to a group of individuals in a town or a single individual in a town that carried their game and performed the best. These players are the reason why they won their game, and without these players, the game would have played out drastically differently.
	Master Strategist	Best Mechanical Play	Individual Game	Individual Award	This award is awarded to the individual with the most impressive mechanical play. If they submitted 1 night action that singlehandedly changed the course of the game or broke a setup mechanically in a way that won them the game (and not due to poor game design), then this award awards that play.
Scumplay Awards
	Don Corleone	Most Cunning Manipulator	Body of work	Individual Award	This award is awarded to a single scum player who, across all of their games for the year, exhbited the best ability to manipulate the town into losing. The person who wins this award should have demonstrated the best scumplay during the year.
	Goodfellas	Best Mafia Team	Individual Game	Group Award	This award is awarded to 2 or more individuals in a scum team that performed well and were key to winning their game, worked together extremely well, and because of that, performed the best. The players who win this award should have demonstrated the best team scumplay overall.
Moderator Awards
	The Modfather	Excellent Moderation	Body of Work	Moderator Award	This award is given to the moderator who, over the past year, exemplified the best qualities in the past year of moderation. Accuracy and timeliness of moderating is important, of course, but setup and game mechanics are important, too! This is the moderator who, when looking back over the history of the site, stood out as that year's premiere moderator. Who will people remember when the dust settles? Who runs games that you have to RUSH to signup for or else miss out on a potentially all-time great experience?
	Rube Goldberg	Best Setup	Individual Game	Moderator Award	This award should be awarded to a mod or setup designer that designed the best setup. Judges may consider the roles involved in a game, how those roles interacted, how balanced a setup was, whether it furthered any particular theme, how the setup interacts with a mechanic, or any other factors the judges deem relevant. How this award differs from the Mad Scientist ( Best Mechanic ) award, is that this focuses on the individual roles and/or abilities and how well they worked together , not how the game of mafia itself was changed.
	Mad Scientist	Best New Mechanic	Individual Game	Moderator Award	This award should be awarded to a mod or setup designer that designed the most compelling way to change the basic mechanics of the game of mafia, and/or created the most compelling new role or adaptation to increase player enjoyment. Judges shall consider both the basic idea behind the game as well as how well it was executed, and the uniqueness and quality of the role/adaptation. How this award differs from the Rupe Goldberg ( Best Setup ) award, is that this is about how the game of mafia was changed , not how well the individual roles and/or abilities worked together.
	Paperback Writer	Best Flavor	Individual Game	Moderator Award	Given to the moderator who wrote had the best flavor for their game, telling a compelling story in a mafia game, whether that flavor made you laugh or cry. Aspects of this may include presentation of moderator posts (VCs, day starts, OPs, role PMs) and how that presentation affected the mood of the game. Where appropriate, Judges may consider how well the flavor works with the announced theme.
Miscellaneous Play Awards
	Rising Star	Best Up-And-Comer	Body of Work	Individual Award	This award is given to the player that is a rising star in the game of mafia, showing great promise to join the elite echelon of mafia players. This award replaces both the Best Newbie award and Most Improved Player awards, and judges may consider elements of both those previous awards in deciding this award. This award is generally awarded to someone who has shown great improvement over the year or a new face to the new that just started playing on site.
	White Knight	Best Replacement	Individual Game	Individual Award	This award is awarded to a player who replaced into a game and was able to make a sizable contribution to the game after replacing in. This may include turning around a slot that was previously doomed, jumping in and nailing the mafia team, pulling off a big play to save a scumteam, or maybe just coming in and taking a game from miserable to enjoyable. If someone put in the work to replace into a game and you feel it warrants notice, this is where you nominate them.
	Hannibal Lecter	Best Third Party	Individual Game	Individual Award	This award is awarded to the player or players that performed the most impressively in winning their game as a third party. Perhaps it was a serial killer masterfully floating under the radar, or a wacky new third-party role that required some serious chops to pull off. If they aren't town or scum, but you think they deserve recognition, then this is the award for them.
	Kodak Moment	Best Moment	Individual Game	Individual Award or Group Award	This award is awarded to the player or players who were involved in the most memorable event in a game of mafia. Fake claims, funny claims, awesome exchanges, etc. may all be considered for this award.
Site Awards
	Player's Choice	Game of the Year	Individual Game	Individual Award	This award is given to the moderator of a game. It is given in recognition of the overall excellence of a game. The Game of the Year award is a "catch all" award for the best overall game throughout the entire year, considering all aspects of the game from moderator quality, to the excellent design and composition of the game, to the performance and cohesion of the playerlist. A Game of the Year is meant to be the game that we can all point to later and say "This game was the best game the site could offer that year in terms of Design, Playerlist, and moderating capability." This is a PUBLIC VOTE.
	Post of the Year	Best Post	Individual Post	Individual Award	This award is awarded to a person that made a post. But not just any post, this post is important! This is the post... that on any part of the the site... had the biggest impact on site culture. It made you laugh. Maybe it made you cry. Maybe it just made you blow air out your nose. In any case, this post belongs in a shrine to great forum posts. This is a PUBLIC VOTE.
	Community Contributor	Best Site Contributor	OOC Thread	Individual Award	This award is awarded to the player who did the most to contribute to the overall health of the site. Maybe this person arranged an in-person meetup to foster community, or maybe they really evolved mafia theory discussion to a new level with their MD articles. Perhaps it's a user who goes out of their way to put on fun contests or events for the site, or maybe someone worked on a cool mafia tool in their spare time. Whatever they did, if they worked to improve the site outside of the Mish Mash or Mafia forums, this is where they belong.

OPTIONALLY

If you want to be extremely helpful, you can color the table and text so that its associated with its award category (Town, Scum, Moderator, Misc, or Site). I will leave a key below, but the key thing to remember is that when coloring a table background, you do not need to put a # character in, where as with text color, you are required to put in a # character at the beginning of the hexcolor.
for example table=1d232d and color=#d0e4f8
These are the corresponding colors to each category
