Problems with the Scummies

[Ranmaru]

I'm skimming at work but I like RC's #1.

[Ranmaru]

I agree with a balance of fun and serious awards.

[Ranmaru]

I also didn't know they vanished. I agree, they should come back.

2010 and 2011 were in a completely different realm to anything that happens today.

What aspect of 2010 and 2011 do you think we need again? Just curious.

[Ranmaru]

At work, I agree with Mathdino.

I think Best Replacement is a nice touch for those that do take the time to replace. 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.

[Ranmaru]

I've never really paid too much attention to the nominations or scummies, so I don't really know how I would feel afterwards. (You might be right on the 'I don't care tbh' part, but I don't know that yet, without experiencing it myself) I'm not a good liar so no, not lying to you or myself. Yet let's say we put it back and it doesn't get many nominations, why does that mean we should drop it as a category instead of encouraging others to push for nomination in that category more, especially if there seem to be quite a few people (at a glance) that like the category.

[Ranmaru]

If it wasn't for the best replacement category, the 30+ games would not have had the honor of having Firebringer replace into them.

[Ranmaru]

I'll leave that open to your interpretation, Fire.

[Ranmaru]

Agreed with Psyche. The players that win that, must be the role models people would look up to, not the reward they receive.
