It's quite the task and it's nice to be rewarded for doing so and especially being the best at it. Especially when replacing into 100 page games. Don't tell me it's 'you should do that without any incentives in the first place!'. It's also not something to brag about, again, more so a reward.
nominate ranmaru, xyzzy, and assemblerotws for funniest replacements 2018

Just to make sure Alisae - I think we all agree that the reasoning of "The same people are being nominated for these awards year after year, so we're going to drop them" is petty and stupid..right?

I just got depressed by the normal-queue being VERY inactive and slow, and had a rough few months in my personal life..
And I wish more of the people I've been playing with, would still play actively..
And I wish I was more awesome.

Its not going to motivate people to replace in, the game/mod/players do that themselves. Like, I don't feel like there is someone that stands out that deserves this right away for 2017 idunno I could be wrong here.
Just wanted to do target alisaee to bully ei for their incorrect assumptions
So back when replacement scummy was a thing, it was basically only scummy I wanted or thought I could legitimately win.

I've always felt like best replacement was for the player that replaces in and helps their team the most. I mean, obviously the more games you replace in you have a better chance of helping your team but it isn't about the quantity.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

TBF, ppl should be replacing in b/c its helpful but the award should still be there.

I like Fire even though he misreads the shit out of me half the time.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm but this was a dumb reason to ever get rid of that scummy. I also think that a best town scummy would help to promote team play and give newer players to actually try hard knowing that they could theoretically win a non-body of work scummy.

Best Scum Team: This should obviously be a thing. Make Don Corleone a Body of Work award again.
no, we need both of these. Making Don body of work does make sense though and leaving best scum team as a one-off.

I think game mods need to be more active in nominations. Like, I'm not saying that they HAVE to nom someone but yeah....
