Scummies 2014 - Nomination Thread!

[Katsuki]

Nominate FAKEGOD'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND for best flavor and moderation (can find other games etc)

Meticulous role PMs and awesome flavor!

[Prof Fridays]

I nominate FakeGod's Alice in Wonderland Mafia for Best Set-up.

Mostly on the grounds that it was intriguing and innovative

in the box

, which, in and of itself, is somewhat

out of the box

. There's a special elegance about creating a mostly-normal set-up that is interesting, thought-provoking (hard to discern but has sense to it), balanced, and fun to play. The lopsidedness of the scum-victory was mostly because of the players, not the set-up, though certainly set-up spec played a part in that.

[Konowa]

2nd both Kats and Fridays nominations.

[Aronis]

2nd both Kats and Fridays nominations.

3rd both.

[Jingle]

Nom Lucky's Your Idea Mafia 2! (Micro 380) For Kodak Moment.

Seriously, despite heading into this with expectations of insanity, the Werewolf claim and subsequent quicklynch into the Mass Redirector making everyone target a Black Goo for a five person cult victory on N1 was far beyond all expectations.

[Anatole Kuragin]

seconded Micro 380 nom by jingle

I fourth my above poster

I nominate Aunt Jemina as most cunning manipulater.

[Psyche]

what happened to our culture of explaining nominations for things

[Chandra Nalaar]

I think Memorable Event is closer there. "Aunt Jemina posts so many words that the town just gives up and lynches someone else for no particular reason rather than read them".

[reinoe]

I nominate Aunt Jemina as most cunning manipulater.

Can you link to the actual game in question and not just the username?

[Josh_B]

Sorry, I don't know the rules. Aunt Jemina was the remaining scum of a three player team in a 24 player game with two scum teams that lasted over three months.
She managed to easily skate under the radar with minimal suspicion for the majority of the game, and single handedly secure a no lynch, by convincing the town that it was in their favor. Her cases were light and barely scratched the surface of actually calling somebody scum, yet they cunningly built suspicion that lasted through out the game.

The Game is Marvel Avengers Alliance

[Prof Fridays]

Nominate Aronis' Modified Greatest Idea Mafia for Best Set-up.

Not sure if I need to cite specific games, but this is easily the best Marathon game type out there, and it's a shame marathons are so few and far between It basically updates and polishes the old Greater/Greatest concepts and adds in the modifier element to make for an insanely zany and fun experience for the players, but also fixes a lot of problems on the mod's end, helping to prevent re-rolls and maintain some semblance of balance amidst the chaos.

(Also, while my name is on the wiki page, my contribution was minuscule at best - Aronis should get all due credit/awards/praise/worship/etc.)

[Psyche]

Nth

It's pretty swingy and/or unbalanced a lot of the time, but I love it anyway.

[Marquis]

greater idea modfia??

[Bicephalous Bob]

Third

Ideal Idea Mafia

[xRECKONERx]

Huh, I don't know that we've ever had a Marathon game nominated.

[Cabd]

I mean, worst case scenario have them play it as a traditional micro or mini to give it "legitimacy"

[saulres]

Huh, I don't know that we've ever had a Marathon game nominated.

For Best Setup? Both my Meme Mafias were last year.

[Lissa]

Nth Modified Greatest

best bloodbath ever.

[Aronis]

I mean, worst case scenario have them play it as a traditional micro or mini to give it "legitimacy"

Non-marathon game.

[Bins]

It's hell to run as a marathon game, but it was definitely requested a lot.
