Scummies Nomination Thread 2017

[ThinkBig]

I would like to nominate PranaDevil for most cunning manipulator for his fantastic performance in Mini Normal 1873. He was able to be universally town read and really did a great job carrying his team to victory. Even though Titus came in with a VCA and implicated him, he was able to spread enough paranoia to eek out a win, even after the scum team was outed! He definitely deserves an award for that.

Going back to camn's revenge, by the way...

Nominate TheRealGin-N-Tonic for Rising Star

. Honestly, I thought this had been done already and was flabbergasted when I learned I was the first to do so. For those not in the know, this is why Gin's going to win it this year:
TheRealGin-N-Tonic is a player who shows incredible promise both as town and as scum. As scum, Gin is reasonable and charismatic, friendly, likable, and someone who is ridiculously hard to lynch--Gin influences towns, and can manipulate them marvelously. And yet, while Gin has begun to show this rise to greatness, Gin still has room to grow, and best of all, an active interest in doing exactly that: Gin recognizes the flaws in their play, and is actively working to correct them and become better.

Similarly, I have seen TheRealGin-N-Tonic's townplay grow EXPONENTIALLY. In particular, at the beginning of camn's revenge, I felt that TheRealGin-N-Tonic was scum, or if Gin was town (which was the case), Gin was lynchbait--and so did everyone else.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, everything changed. Gin became obvtown immediately to literally the whole game thread. Gin went from a mislynch candidate to being one of the core members of the townbloc, and this was even prior to that game's famous jam session. Gin showed remarkable analysis and a great capability to lead towns there, while making their alignment known: the town triple-threat of obvtown, good reads, and good charisma that you'd look for in a town player.

This is not unique to that game. In Mini Normal 1873, Gin had the scumteam basically pegged at several points, using good logic, and was pressing in all the right areas. While Gin ultimately second-guessed (something we all do) and lost thanks to that paranoia, the simple fact is Gin used their given role in the best possible way it could be used, and after expending Gin's role, was on the money with the implications.

Though Gin has lost games as town, and Gin still will lynch town even when being town, TheRealGin-N-Tonic, every single town game, is open to feedback: Gin

wants

to learn what Gin did well and where Gin fucked up. And Gin actually applies those lessons. Gin listens to what others tell them, and continues to improve, each game getting better than the last.

While I give a link to camn's revenge, I could link to almost any game contemporary to this or taking place after this and show the evidence of this growth. I firmly believe no player is more worthy of this reward than TheRealGin-N-Tonic is.

I second this nomination! I hope Gin sticks around. He is going to be a force to reckon with one day.

Nominate skitter30 for Rising Star and Most Cunning Manipulator

skitter30 is relatively new, but has already shown a ton of potential and will have a huge impact on the mafiascum community. In Newbie 1787 she manipulated almost everyone and was fairly obvtown for most of the game. She was only caught via process of elimination and sheer luck from town.

nth Mulch for Rising Star

He did an absolutely phenomenal job in Mini Normal 1919. Despite getting paranoid and overthinking things, he became confirmed town on day 2 and helped to lead town to victory.

I think Mulch is a player who the majority of people will never learn to read correctly. I have not seen their town game yet but if it holds up I think their scum game is rising star worthy.

He was town in Mini Normal 1919 and lead town to a victory after being conf town on day 2.
