Scummies 2008 Nominations! (Deadline: 1/15)

[Ythill]

Nominate:

vollkan and SCAM (a tsq alt)

Award:

Best Performance by a Team

Game:

Gangland Mafia

Summary:

Though these two were not masons in this mason-heavy game, they worked together to expose all of the scum by D2, leading to a town win by the end of D4.

Nominate:

Ythill (self-nominated)

Award:

Best Mafia Catcher

Game:

The Kingmaker's Revolt

Summary:

Playing the survivor-kingmaker, I decided that a quick town win was my best option for survival. I accidentally made a scum king D1, but cornered him into bussing his buddy. Then I talked the new king into hanging him on D2. I died that night (NKed by both scum groups) but not before naming the remaining three scum. Meaning that I'd found all five scum by D2! Read the post-game for the reactions of the mod and other players.

[Ythill]

Sorry, I saw a lot of self-noms in the second post, so I thought it was okay.

[Ythill]

Sweet. Thanks for the seconds.

I'm going to nominate a competitor for one of those categories however, and I know he deserves the scummy more than I...

Nominate:

gorkat

Award:

most enjoyable game, mini

Game:

The Neighborhood

Summary:

The set-up included a GF and a miller but no cop, a note-writing mafia spy, and a nosy neighbor. The balance was perfect... skill seemed to play a part at every turn. And the game was high-tension from start to finish. I've played a few very good minis, but this one was the best by far.

[Ythill]

Woot. I just noticed from Flay's summary that self-noms are allowed. So how about a second (and maybe a third, for validity) for catching 5 scum in 2 days in Kingmaker's Revolt. Please?

[Ythill]

Thanks vollkan.

[Ythill]

I self-nommed and asked for a second because I'm a narcissistic egomaniac who wants to win, win, win. Hey, at least I'm honest.

Don't worry, I'll also frown on my own behavior.
