Scummies 2016 Nomination Thread

[zoraster]

All right. I've created a part 2 for the nomination form and just made the table from Jan-August 17th into an image, so it should load much faster.

[shos]

I know, jus wanted to sound my voice there

[pieguyn]

I nominated dwlee99 and Thor665 for Kodak Moment for the last day of Paint Mafia Sequel.

basically the game had two flips, a "color" flip where you reveal someone's color and the actual lynch. on the last (3p) day, everyone left forgot about the color flip, resulting in Thor quickhammering dwlee's color flip, dwlee flipping purple, and Thor having thrown the game. this is legit probably the most hilariously amazing result I've ever seen in a game.

[Ircher]

Let's get more "Modfather" and "Mad Scientist" nominations going; winning means barely anything if there is no competition to compete against.

I'm going to second this.
Cheetory literally messaged me asking if he should keep running the game:
Cheetory6 (08:16)
do I end it there?
Cheetory6 (08:16)
or do I make them suffer through a votelynch too?
Varsoon (08:16)
You still have to play the game out
Varsoon (08:16)
Yes.
Varsoon (08:16)
Absolutely.
Cheetory6 (08:16)
oh no.
Cheetory6 (08:16)
D:
Varsoon (08:16)
People need to live with their shame

[copper223]

Nominate Mastin for best flavor text in Gistou.

[McMenno]

yes

[zoraster]

Nominate Mastin for best flavor text in Gistou.

You have to nominate through the form or it will not count.

[Voidedmafia]

Nominate Mastin for best flavor text in Gistou.

What Zor said. And I already have that covered.

[copper223]

So submitting the form is not needed? I'll second whoever did that already if that's the case.

[Aristophanes]

Seconding isn't needed, and it has already been submitted. However, multiple submissions don't hurt, as they may raise new points or perspectives as to why the nom was made.

[copper223]

Done.

[Deductive]

I self-nominate myself for simultaneously both 'Rising Star' & 'Best Mafia Catcher' for my first ever forum mafia game where I was 2/2 on catching scum.

[Psyche]

ohoho

Seconded.

Never before, in the history of Mafia, has there been a player who has gone from not playing to catching scum with such aplomb. If one was to look at Deductive's play in the aforementioned game, they would find that advanced interrogation techniques to rope his foes into ultimate defeat. It's undeniable that Deductive is probably going to be responsible for shifting the site-meta entirely towards town winning a majority of games, as well. Give this man a medal.

[Aristophanes]

Is one permitted to self nominate?

[RadiantCowbells]

I'd like to self nom for Outstanding Mish Mash Player.

In my history on site, I have the following credentials.

1) Never losing a game of Mish Mash.
2) Never failing to be the MVP of any mish mash games that have winners.
3) Being just generally literally the best at mish mash.

THank you for your time.

[Firebringer]

I think we should give it to him guys.

II nominated Transcend for Kodak Moment (though not totally appropriate, I didn't see a better category) for his amazing vig play in Kids TV Show Mafia

"Transcend, as Town Vig, shot EVERY MEMBER OF THE SCUM TEAM!!! Every single one! None were lynched. He led the town to a victory they would have never otherwise achieved.

Amazing play! I'd have nominated him for a best single performance, but the only option for that is for a third party."

I have a question:

How low is the bar when it comes to 'Rising Star'?

I mean, I am always under the sentiment that you have to play a lot of games to get nominated (Take myself for example: I think I went 3of3 or 2of2 3 times out of 6 town games and get townread by 2/3 of the town in my first scum game.) I have a lot of names to nominate for 'Rising Star', but eventhough I am pleased with my nomination as I am with mine, I don't consider them to have enough sample (just like I did with me). Because if the bar is THAT low (a sample of one game) I'm going to barrage the nomination form with a lot of names because I do have a lot of names.

[Realeo]

I mean, saying somebody is the champion after 1 game is like saying Donald Trump will win the election after he is leading 1 poll and the poll is done right after the RNC.

[zoraster]

Only one person can win the award. It's okay to nominate more than one person, but do a little self-editing. Every nomination is more work for the judges, which is okay, but if you're just throwing out a ton of people who you don't even think are most deserving of the award, you're creating needless work.

Rising star doesn't need a ton of games, but they probably do need to play actively.
