Scummies Ideas, Suggestions and Comments Thread

Why would we? We have a TON of awards that vets compete for and win.

Paragon, Don Corleone, Best Third Party, Most Memorable Event are all awards that shouldn't favor newbies over veterans.

And of course, veterans are the ones usually running the games that win for moderation.

Is there a nice little thread with a condensed version of who won what when?

I don't think 2016 is updated yet, but this has it: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... y:Scummies

Thank you.

I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, I hope you know that.

Just so I better understand how this works (so I don't have to make a fool of myself again), what is the process for choosing what awards will be given for the following year/what is considered when coming up with awards from year to year?

zoraster · Post Post #1005 (ISO) » Wed Mar 01, 2017 7:01 am

Awards are fairly stable from year to year. There aren't any current plans to add or remove categories this year, I don't believe.

I am just curious as to the process how they are chosen so I can put my mind at ease and not have to think about it anymore. I need a reason to see how it makes sense. I realize that changes wont be made for this year, that wasn't my original intention.

A group of people, the scummies steering committee, talks about awards and each year evaluates whether awards need to be removed, added or changed. This past year was probably the largest single-year change with the removal and consolidation of a number of awards.

Thanks, I won't press.

I'm not trying to be cagey or anything. What I described is pretty much exactly what happens. Whether an award is added, changed or removed is entirely based on what the SSC values.

That came out wrong. When I want to know how something works, I want to know exactly how it works. I could figure out that a group of people talk about what to do with the awards on my own. I wanted to know the details into what exactly is considered when the group is talking about things and I can only guess. That said, I understand that it prolly is not imperative that I know that and I respect you enough to know when I feel like I am wasting your time.

I believe everyone who is familiar with me should figure out what I'm the best at, and design an award for that specific thing, so I can be guaranteed to win going forward without having to do anything more amazing than I normally do.

Naw UT, I just like being able to somewhat appease the people who demand I get an avatar without having to do anything.

me, but not rising.
is there something else perhaps?

How about "Falling Star"

Cabd · Post Post #1018 (ISO) » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:40 pm

"Blast from the past" maybe? Older vet players (At least 3 years old) who came back form an extended break and had a great game?

I like the idea of that. A little too specific I think though. We'll see what people have to say about it.

I have a great idea for the Scummies!

People make more nominations!

OK, so I can already tell this prolly is a pretty controversial idea but what if we had a "Most Feared Hydra" award?
