Scummies 2010 Nominations

[MagnaofIllusion]

Apparently I’ve let it go too long since I last seriously looked at my games for nomination material –

Best Mechanic/Mutation

– Max for Perpetual MYLO Mafia. The set-up encouraged pure scum-hunting and interaction analysis. With a few tweaks I think it could be a very viable Open set-up.

Most Cunning Manipulation

– I’d like to second ReaperCharlie’s nomination. His work in Harry Potter Mafia was a tour-de-force.

Best Role

– Ooba for the Reverse Survivor Mason known as Mr. Nobody in Mad World –Time Travel Mafia. A very innovative role that unfortunately didn’t last long enough.

I’d also like to add pointless Nths to Macavitylock for

Best Fake Claim

for Clash of Kings Mafia and the game itself for

Most Enjoyable Game

and

Best Flavor Text

.

When are the Scummies anyway?

Around the same time as the Oscars, iirc.

Nom dramonic's Tarot Mafia for Best Set-up

An epic mini-theme with eleven two-shot JoaTs and a single power-immune townie. The set-up worked around gendered roles and each JoaT action was actually a choice between opposing powers (ex: kill or make bulletproof). Some of the powers were unique, allowing palyers to mask the cardflip, cause a quicklynch, cause a double-lynch, etcetera and yet the game was very balanced, playing down to a tidy 2:1 endgame. The flavor was both integral and interesting but not so revealing that it was more important than scumhunting.

I want to nominate Haylen for

Best fake claim

. The claim of gravedigger was very good. It can actually be used as a role in a game sometime.

Looks like a mutation of a fakeclaim I used offsite once when I had a role that Haylen later got in a game I modded.

Actual Role:
Adaptive SK- Takes on a one-shot ability from any power role they kill.
My fakeclaim- "Gravedigger" who takes a one-shot ability from any power role that dies at night.

O_O Wtf?

[Kmd4390]

I'd link, but SA doesn't let you go to archives unless you pay...

O_O Wtf?

Yep. Jebus used a role like that too for his Mugger role.
Think of it like a Universal Backup that keeps backing players up as they die.

Nominating the town (esp. Parama, Charter, and Kagelord) of Mini 1063 - Pointlessville for Best Performance Pro-Town Team.

Parama and Charter caught pretty much every scum in the game, and KageLord helped even more by shooting correctly N0. We almost ended up lynching Parama after Charter got killed (mostly my fault), but we lynched cruelty anyways and won the game. Overall, excellent performance.

No self-noms

By "especially" I mean "just" Parama, Charter, and Kagelord. Perhaps I should've clarified that more.

That is to say I am not nominating myself.

If you are a member of the pro-town team that you are nominating, you

are

nominating yourself.

[SaintKerrigan]

Forgot to do this earlier, but I'm nominating

AlmasterGM

for the

Funniest Player

award for his performance in Choose Your Side: A Comedy of Whims, plus the Night Action PMs he sent me in that game.

I also nominate him for

Best Third Party

performance for the same game. It's not often that you can get away with not only claiming Third Party, but also claiming cult, and still win the game. Plus, his quasi-fakeclaim kept people fooled for multiple game-days, and he was very conniving with persuading a town player into joining the cult over taking a sure-fire town win.

[CSL]

Second

Almaster. Both of them.

Nominating Vi's

Mafia on Holy Orders

for Best

Mechanic/Mutation

for its player-made setup:

Instead of starting with power roles all the town and mafia started as vanilla except for one

Seraph

on each side, who were not able to post but instead were able to give power roles to the players and try to assist their team by calling positive or negative attention to posts through halos posted every votecount.

And it's a bit late but if it's allowed

3rd Percy's Incantation System in Mini 890 for Best Mechanic/Mutation

for the first half of the year.

Fourth Vi's

This next one is tough, both the set-up AND the flavor text was really amazing. So I guess that means it qualifies for:

Nominate AlmasterGM for Most Enjoyable Game

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 82&start=0

DayTalking scum that can have their messages intercepted, encryptions to double WIFOM town, Nukes available to all that want death, quotes about War from people that are really fitting.

It is just too good.
