Nero has a point, what would Alisae know anything about what makes a person good enough to earn a scummy
Shoutout to PJ and Nahdia for making my amazing new avi :)

Following the previous dozen pages that cropped up in the last 10 hours I would like to congratulate Ginngie for being drunk with distinction. - Vi

I like Brass as a person but lol no.

I feel like I should be a bit insulted by this, but instead, I'm just touched that someone likes me as a person.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

Noming
Mathdino
for
Paperback Writer
for
Mini 2000: Be Someone Else: uPick!

He got really into the theme of Being Someone Else and was really committed to offering advice on how to be someone else.
here he did a ton of research too.

edit: Also the gimmick was that he thought everyone in the game wanted to be someone else otherwise they wouldn't have joined the game, which is kind of a entertaining gimmick.

Don for that game should probably be a group nom although I do concur that she was the strongest of the 3.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

Uh.... I have just a slight objection.

First, I'm not exactly a newbie. Newbie on MS, yes. Newbie to the game of mafia, not quite. Started playing off-site in 2015, so I might not technically be qualified for Rising Star.

Thanks for the nomination, Quick. I never expected that. :)

Doesn't matter if you are not technically a newbie, you are a newbie to this site. That is what matters.

Ah. That makes sense.

I just don't want the judges to have to go through X amount more work based on me being a possible technicality. ^^;

Good point.

There's like... a 1 in 3 chance I'd be given it anyway, so... nothing to worry about.

....

Oh...

I thought the odds were a bit bigger than that. 0.o

Who the fuck cares just nominate stuff
its the judges job to filter through the trash (hence why I said that a bunch of people who could be Rising Stars need to be nominated for Rising Star)

Like
Make the judges have to actually DO WORK
If you nominate a huge pool of shit, you won't have something stupid get to finals and win just because you have certain people I could easily call out right now who didn't read games just go "WOW, HE OUTPLAYED ME, I AM GOING TO READ 0 GAMES AND PUT HIM AS A FINALIST BECAUSE WOW HE OUTPLAYED ME AND I THINK I AM AMAZING AT THIS GAME BUT I'M SURPRISE ACTUALLY NOT AND THEY PLAYED BADLY I JUST SUCKED."
And I love this person too but they're just, not good at judging.
They didn't even contribute towards most of the process.
They know who they are.

I am sort of disagreeing with Alisae.
I mean yeah nominating stuff you find good, if it is good enough should be a concern for the judges.
But nominating stuff that is not good, when you know it. DON'T!!!!!
Don't nominate trash.
(I am seeing no one doing it, but Alisaes post could point in that direction)

Post by Taly »

How people perceive each other's gameplay is subjective. Someone's nom could make so much sense to another, but not feel worthy for another person.

There's not a lot of room for
"more objective analysis"
when there's a minimal pool to work with, and a select few people that nominate the pool.

With that said, I actually like
Alisae's
thought here. If people have issues with the scummies, or find ways that it could be improved; then doing something different as in putting more effort into nominating people would be a step in a better direction.

I'm actually taking much more notice of other people's gameplay than I did in 2015. I haven't found someone I'd nominate yet, but this is the type of mentality that works to improve a system. A higher quantity of people putting in greater effort for a higher quality product.

That mentality breeds improvement among a group.

Also, if anyone wants to say something about
Alisae's
noms... then maybe, well... they could work to nominate someone themselves first, and then have a conversation with her. Plus, I don't think she's nominating people
JUST
to nominate them, it's her opinion and she's putting it forth for a better outcome than what she's known previously.

I want to make it clear that I have noproblem with any of Alisae noms.
I just said that people who nominate should think about their nominations and nominate in good faith.

Second Mafhdino for best Paperbackwriter
btw. That was good flavor and after playing in a game where I did not really liked my character I loved the flavor from the rolePM to the deadscenes. So I will endorse any nome for Paperbackwriter for Mathdino.

Alisae: As I said before I have no problem with any of your noms, I have no problem with anyones noms as long as they follow the same thought you expressed in your last post.
That was only a don't nominate trash please.
I don't expect much trash beeing nominated if people nominate what they think is nom-worthy, not everythink will be a good winner but yeah that is up to the judges.
