Scummies 2012 Nominations (Deadline For Noms)

[animorpherv1]

how are we supposed to use that information?

1) By "judges," I assume he just meant those separate ones judging that category.
2) I assume that he's saying it has a sequel because it was popular, therefore it was a good game.

Yes and yes.

[izakthegoomba]

I'm pretty sure everything Xalxe nommed had or will have a sequel.

[Maestro]

3rd Planet MafiaScum for Best MishMash Game

[Nachomamma8]

Nth Planet Mafiascum

I have never really had much interest in MishMash games, but I stumbled onto Planet Mafiascum by something Xalxe posted, I think, and ended up wasting a shit ton of time reading how everything worked, how everything happened. What izak basically created with Planet Mafiascum was this sandbox game where people can do whatever they want and create their own world through their actions, and it's just really, really awesome. Just, wow.

[animorpherv1]

I'm pretty sure everything Xalxe nommed had or will have a sequel.

That said, I disagree with most of Xalxe's nominations. I actually think this year was fairly tame in terms of amazing new games.

[Nicholas1024]

Survivor: Middle Earth is the only possible nomination for Mishmash games.

More seriously, I'll go ahead and

second Seafoam Islands

. Sure, there were a couple flaws *cough*Legendary box*cough*, but the overall product was amazing enough to let me look past them.

[Magister Ludi]

Planet Mafia was quite awesome, I agree with what Nacho said. Dedication

[UberNinja]

Most Enjoyable Playstyle

or something like that would preserve the meaning while losing the weird sounding objectification.

However, the combination doesn't restrict the 'moment' to games only. Funniest Player often was more like Funniest Scummer.

Yeah! ... change the name of all awards from "Player" to "Scummer" where applicable.



Also, ITT I am sad that I haven't been nominated for Best Mafia Hunter ... I fuckin' beast it up at that shit.

[izakthegoomba]

I don't know about everyone else, but I think suggesting that oneself should be nominated is almost as bad as actually nominating oneself.

[Kublai Khan]

I don't know about everyone else, but I think suggesting that oneself should be nominated is almost as bad as actually nominating oneself.

I dunno about that. Unless you consistently play with the same people over and over or have a stalker, there's usually nobody around to notice when you have a fantastic stretch of games that might be worthy of a body of work award.

[Drench]

3rd Seafoam Islands

[Xalxe]

I'm pretty sure everything Xalxe nommed had or will have a sequel.

That said, I disagree with most of Xalxe's nominations. I actually think this year was fairly tame in terms of amazing new games.

I actually had two more on my list that I cut because I felt these were better.

[StefanB]

That is egoistical but

second Marketplace Mafia for Best Town Performance

Yes Matt/Kayne were the heroes but there was good play from most townplayers and a win that feeled really great and not a bit cheap.

[RedPanda]

Nominate borkjerfkin for Outstanding MishMash Game for Bang! Revival.

I don't always MishMash, but when I do, I like my fairly complex games to be run flawlessly.

seconding this.

[RedPanda]

Also nominating Magua for Arkham horror.

The game was fun and it ran without any hiccups and it's spawned two more arkham horror games.

also

nominating phillammon for Trouble in terrorist town

another good and fun game.

[zoraster]

what awards are you nominating them for?

[Parama]

Paragon of scumhunters obv

[RedPanda]

what awards are you nominating them for?

Both for outstanding mish mash game.

[Venmar]

Nominate MattP for Rising Star

See the giganto game or Always On.

Nth Mattp

Matt deserves this award. He is an amazing player who has the potential to lead a whole town team or a whole scum team through his own peculiar but very effective and keen methods.

[Mehdi2277]

Second Magua for Arkham Horror

One of the longer mish mash games (I think it was 60 pages), a game that had to keep track of a lot of different actions as 8 people played, and just flowed smoothly. The game itself was fun to play as shown by two more got created (one during it, while the second not long after it).

[Xalxe]

I wasn't going to nom TTT, but I will

second

it at least.

Planet MafiaScum, moderated by izakthegoomba

This was an open-ended game the likes of which we're never going to see again (until the sequel). First of its kind, players took control of countries, and did...well, basically, whatever the fuck they wanted. The game

lasted for over a year and would still be going today if not for the Rollback.

The truly impressive thing about it is that everything behind the scenes was controlled and regulated. izak wasn't making shit up as he went, there were formulas, tables and other smartness to actually simulate things, which is just mind-boggling.

Blatant lies, the original Order 66 was slated for May 2nd 2012 (which also would have been the one year mark).

Also Nth

Btw does Robo battle (by zoraster) count for 2012? I'm pretty sure it continued into 2012, but it has no posts after rollback.

[xRECKONERx]

It should, because it was amazing.

Nominate RoboBattle by Zoraster for Best Mish Mash Game

[inspiratieloos]

2nd Robo Battle

then.

[zoraster]

I appreciate it (and do plan to figure out a way to revive the game in a more playable version), but to be fair, Robobattle's best days by far were in 2011, not 2012.
