Scummies 2008 Nominations! (Deadline: 1/15)

[mith]

Nominations will close in about a week.

I'll make sure to get a finalized list of awards and nominations posted a few days beforehand (and if someone would like to compile a list of games that ended in 2008 for consideration, people might find that useful). Will be extremely busy until Monday, but I should have some free time after that.

[mith]

The list of awards will look something like this:

Player Awards:

Single game:

The "Oscar" for Best Performance by an Individual (Pro-Town)
The "Oscar" for Best Performance by an Individual (Mafia)
The "Goodfellas" Award for Best Performance by a Team (Any Alignment)
The "Hannibal Lecter Award" for Best Serial Killer
The "?? Award" for Most Outstanding New Player
The "Cassandra" Award for Best Performance in a Losing Cause

The "Johnny Cochrane" Award for Best Role Claim
The "George W. Bush" Award for Funniest Role Claim

Across multiple/all games:

The "Paragon of Mafia Hunters" Award for Best Mafia Catcher
The "Don Corleone" Award for Most Cunning Manipulator
The "White Knight" Award for Best Replacement (I envision this being an award for those players who replace into games frequently and are active in them, rather than a performance award for a single replacement; the judges may consider awarding it differently, however, as most of the current nominations seem to be of the latter variety.)
The "??" Award for Best IC (Likewise, this award would take into account number of games IC'd, activity in those games, helpfulness toward the newbies, etc.)

Moderator Awards:

Most Enjoyable Large Game
Most Enjoyable Mini Game
The "Paperback Writer" Award for Tastiest Flavor
The "??" Award for Best Setup
The "??" Award for Best Role

Site Awards:

The "Coffee on the Monitor" Award for Funniest Player
The "Professor Mafia" Award for Best Contribution to Mafia Discussion
The "Name Should Be In Orange" Award for Behind the Scenes Contributions

---

As things stand, some awards may not be handed out due to a lack of nominations, but there is still time to nominate players for those.

Suggestions for those that don't have names are welcome...

The "White Knight" Award for Best Replacement (I envision this being an award for those players who replace into games frequently and are active in them, rather than a performance award for a single replacement; the judges may consider awarding it differently, however, as most of the current nominations seem to be of the latter variety.)

based off of the information posted in the "replacement meta-game" thread http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... highlight=

nominate

Mr. Flay, Scruffs, and JDodge for White Night.

[SlySly]

Nominate: Machiavellian-Mafia for Best Setup (Mini 697: Prisoner's Dilemma Mafia)

The prison mechanic was a very fun+innovative setup element to play through.

Agree

[Kinetic]

The "?? Award" for Most Outstanding New Player

Rookie of the Year
Best Out of the Gate

The "??" Award for Best IC

The Mentor
The Jedi

The "??" Award for Best Setup

[Max]

The Inventor Award for Best Role?

[Elephant Hell]

The Rube Goldberg Award for Best Setup?

[Max]

Are there any more nominations for korlash as scum in Eddie Izzard?

[Yosarian2]

Hmm...still no nomination for best IC.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[Max]

No, I'm more concerned about the professor mafia, etc. the site awards because I'm not entirely sure about whether people who run queues entirely deserve it

Mr. Flay, Scruffs, and JDodge for White Night.

Second these three with the caveat that I'm not sure what year most of the replacements came in.

Question for judges; does it help you guys if people up for "across game" awards compile a list of all town/scum games that were played in the specified calendar year?

Also suggest Baker for Best Role

...ok just shoot me

.

[Kison]

Also suggest

Baker

Rick Astley for Best Role

...ok just shoot me

.

[mith]

I prefer to keep the identity of the judges secret until the award ceremony, but I would think that lists of games for multi-game awards could only help.

[shaft.ed]

Also suggest

Baker

Rick Astley for Best Role

...ok just shoot me

.

I don't feel so bad now.

Also here's my compilation of scum games finished this year:
Open 44: TwoFold Mafia
Open 57: Quack Mafia
House Mafia
Uprising Mafia Episode I
Adel's Nightmare (replacement)
Presidentmaker (replacement)
Minivitational 8

[Thok]

Hmm...still no nomination for best IC.

Anyone have any suggestions?

That's one of the harder awards to assign. I know that the year I was part of the judging team we couldn't assign it because nobody could really suggest a good candidate.

[destructor]

I've IC'd one Newbie game, and that was with Mirth, who was awesome. If she played other Newbie games to a similar standard, I think she would definitely deserve the Scummie for Best IC.

Nominate:

Mirth

Award:

Best IC

Game:

Newbie 606, etc.

[PokerFace]

Sweet I might not win any awards but I think I did pretty good. I got nomed once for mafia play, once for town play, and once for best role claim. I tried to make that claim funny too (Role name was Obnoxious Drunk) but no one nomed it for the funny role claim award aswell.

Speaking of funny claims I'd like to nom Korlash for this funny roleclaim I saw/read sometime ago. Let's see if we can't get this in before nom closing time.
