Very rarely have I seen a truly hilarious moment also be a moment of truly good play.

In post 74, quadz08 wrote:For example, in Fate's Destiny Mafia, Spyrex posted an image in-thread that I think literally every player in the game fell of their chairs laughing at. Would I have nominated it for funniest moment? Absolutely. Good play? Hell no. While the categories are not mutually exclusive, the overlap is so small that it makes no sense to group them together.

A lot of people (us) also want to reward a good play. So the people (we) want two separate awards. Maybe something will win both, that's cool, but not the majority of the time.

Body of Work award.

And...?
Rewarding a funnypostis different than rewarding a funnyperson.Everyone can be funny, but that doesn't mean we're all stand up comedians.

In post 92, quadz08 wrote:I really don't see what's wrong with rewarding a funny post, KK. It's not like people are going to start turning games into platforms for stand-up comedy just so they can win this scummy; I just don't think the two categories should be judged together.

Along with Funniest Role Claim, it was without a doubt the most fun I had reading through the links on the Scummies wiki page.

Theoretically they weren't this year either.

Extremely qualified to judge too.In post 983, McMenno wrote:I hate everybody tbh
I stand by my statement. If someone who has been here for 6 months asks about why some games win and others don't, then that's a perfectly okay question to ask. But if someone has been here for years and never answers the call for volunteers, then they forfeit the right to say how it could be done better.In post 987, Nachomamma8 wrote:I don't think that judging the scummies is a prerequisite for commenting on the process.

Give it to all hydras because I fear that they ruin games for everyone else.In post 1024, LicketyQuickety wrote:OK, so I can already tell this prolly is a pretty controversial idea but what if we had a "Most Feared Hydra" award?
That tautology is tautological.In post 1047, hiplop wrote:if they have an unfair advantage they shouldnt be allowed at all
hydras are not an unfair advantage so they are allowed. that means they are one player slot

So far I have gotten answers such as "Hydra's are bad" and "That will limit Hydra participation" and "We don't want to encourage Hydras" then people just saying "Its a bad idea" without explaining why.
No one has yet to actually explain why its a bad idea. They think they know what I am saying, but the arguments against what I suggest doesn't match what I am saying.
