Award Description
Townplay Awards
Image
Paragon of Mafia Hunters
Best Mafia Catcher
Body of Work
Individual Award
This award is awarded to the single town player who, across all of their games for the year, exhibited the best ability for nailing those dirty scumbags and bringing the bad guys to justice while playing as a pro-town role. The person who wins this award should have demonstrated exemplary townplay during the year.
Image
Moment of Brilliance
Best Town Performance
Individual Game
Individual or Group Award
This is awarded to (an) individual(s) in a town who exemplified the best performance this year. The nominated players should be pivotal to their faction winning the game and who, if another player was in their slot, may not have had this effect on the game.
Scumplay Awards
Image
Don Corleone
Most Cunning Manipulator
Body of work
Individual Award
This is awarded to a single scum player who, across all of their games for the year, exhibited the best ability to manipulate the town into losing. The person who wins this award should have demonstrated the best scumplay during the year.
Image
Goodfellas
Best Mafia Performance
Individual Game
Individual or Group Award
This is awarded to one or more individuals who accomplished a stellar performance as scum, ideally leading to a victory for their faction. The player(s) who win this award should have demonstrated the best team scumplay overall.
Moderator Awards
Image
The Modfather
Excellent Moderation
Body of Work
Moderator Award
This is awarded to the moderator who, over the past year, exemplified the best quality of moderation. Important things to take into consideration are timeliness and accuracy of moderation, game setup and mechanics, and any other flair which sets a moderator apart from the rest. This is the moderator who, when looking back over the history of the site, stood out as that year's premiere moderator. Who will people remember when the dust settles? Who runs games that you have to RUSH to signup for or else miss out on a potentially all-time great experience? This award is for them.
Image
Rube Goldberg
Best Setup
Individual Game
Moderator Award
This is awarded to a mod or setup designer who has designed the best Normal or Open setup. Judges may consider the roles involved in a game, how those roles interacted, how balanced a setup was, how the setup interacts with a mechanic, or any other factors the judges deem relevant. How this award differs from the
Mad Scientist
(
Best Mechanic
) award is that this focuses setup design rather than mechanical design, and therefore is eligible to Normal and Open games, not Themed games.
Image
Mad Scientist
Best Mechanic
Individual Game
Moderator Award
This is awarded to a mod or setup designer that designed the most ingenious change to the game of mafia in a Themed game. This may include changes to the basic mechanics of the game, new or adapted roles, how fitting the changes are to the theme at hand, and anything else which is deemed applicable to this category. How this award differs from the
Rube Goldberg
(
Best Setup
) award, is that this is that is focuses on mechanical design rather than setup design, and therefore is eligible to Themed games, not Normal or Open games.
Image
Paperback Writer
Best Flavor
Individual Game
Moderator Award
This award is given to the moderator who wrote had the best flavor for their game. Did they tell a compelling story? Did their flavor make you laugh, cry, or make the game's world come to life? This award may be for them! Aspects of this may include presentation of moderator posts (VCs, day starts, OPs, role PMs) and how that presentation affected the mood of the game. Where appropriate, Judges may consider how well the flavor works with the announced theme.
Miscellaneous Play Awards
Image
Rising Star
Best Up-And-Comer
Body of Work
Individual Award
This is awarded to the player that is a rising star in the game of mafia, showing great promise to join the elite echelon of mafia players. This award replaces both the Best Newbie award and Most Improved Player awards, and judges may consider elements of both those previous awards in deciding this award. This award is generally awarded to someone who has shown great improvement over the year or to a new face to the new that just started playing on site with great potential.
Image
White Knight
Best Replacement
Individual Game
Individual Award
This is awarded to a player who replaced into a game and was able to make a sizable contribution to the game upon replace in. This may include turning around a slot that was previously doomed, jumping in and nailing the mafia team, pulling off a big play to save a scumteam, or maybe just coming in and taking a game from miserable to enjoyable. If someone put in the work to replace into a game and you feel it warrants notice, this is where you nominate them.
Image
Hannibal Lecter
Best Third Party
Individual Game
Individual Award
This is awarded to the player or players that performed the most impressively in winning their game as a third party. Perhaps it was a serial killer masterfully floating under the radar, or a wacky new third-party role that required some serious chops to pull off. If they aren't town or scum, but you think they deserve recognition, then this is the award for them.
Image
Kodak Moment
Best Moment
Individual Game or Post(s)
Individual Award or Group Award
This is awarded to the player or players who were involved in the most memorable event in a game of mafia. Fake claims, funny claims, awesome exchanges, etc. may all be considered for this award.
Site Awards
Image
Player's Choice
Game of the Year
Individual Game
Individual Award
This is awarded to the moderator of a game. It is given in recognition of the overall excellence of a game. The Game of the Year award is a "catch all" award for the best overall game throughout the entire year. It should take into consideration all aspects of the game from moderator quality to the excellent design and composition of the game to the performance and cohesion of the playerlist. A Game of the Year is meant to be the game that we can all point to later and say "This game was the best game the site could offer that year in terms of Design, Playerlist, and moderating capability."
This is a PUBLIC VOTE.
Image
Post of the Year
Best Post
Individual Post
Individual Award
This is awarded to a person that made a post. But not just any post. No, this post is important! Among all posts on site, this is the post which had the biggest impact on site culture. Maybe made you laugh. Perhaps it made you cry. Maybe it just made you blow air out your nose. In any case, this post belongs in a shrine to great forum posts.
This is a PUBLIC VOTE.
Image
Community Contributor
Best Site Contributor
OOC Thread
Individual Award
This is awarded to the user who did the most to contribute to the overall health of the site. This person may have arranged an in-person meetup, evolved mafia theory discussion to a new level with their MD articles, ran fun contests or events for the site, or worked on a cool mafia tool in their spare time. Perhaps their actions put in place rules which will change the way this site is run. Whatever they did, if they worked to improve the site outside of the Mish Mash or Mafia games, this is where they belong. This is a unique award which may or may not be given despite nominations. The SSC may also award it to someone who failed to receive a nomination. We aim to honor those who work towards the betterment of our community, which is why we have this clause in place.

OPTIONALLY

If you want to be extremely helpful, you can color the table and text so that its associated with its award category (Town, Scum, Moderator, Misc, or Site). I will leave a key below, but the key thing to remember is that when coloring a table background, you do not need to put a # character in, where as with text color, you are required to put in a # character at the beginning of the hexcolor.
for example table=1d232d and color=#d0e4f8
These are the corresponding colors to each category

Submitting an anti-nomination

Sometimes a controversial nomination comes along. If you wish to register your dissent, the judges will take that into consideration. You may do so privately by sending a PM to the current custodian of the Scummies Nominations thread (Ircher) with the following PM title: "Anti-nomination for [username] for [Award]". Please include detailed reasoning. Public or "empty" anti-noms will not be considered.

Declining a nomination

If you wish to take yourself out of consideration for an award, you may do so. Send a PM to the current custodian of the Scummies Nominations thread (Ircher) with the following PM title: "Request to decline [Award]". Please include a detailed reason why you think this is not your year. This request is subject to a vote within the Scummies Steering Committee - if a majority of the SSC thinks you deserve to be considered anyway, the nomination will stand.

Frequently Asked Questions


Am I allowed to nth other nominations?

Yes, you are encouraged to show your support for other nominations. However, be aware that only substantial nths will be tracked.

If a game began in 2024 but finishes in 2025 before nominations close, are they still eligible for the 2024 Scummies and Mashies?

All games that began in 2024 and finished before the 2024 nominations officially closed may be nominated in the 2024 Scummies and Mashies.

I'm too lazy to use the form to make nominations. Is there an easier way to nominate games?

The official nominations form is not a requirement. As long as you include all the relevant information and clearly indicate that your post is a nomination, your nomination will be accepted and tracked. If it is unclear or missing information, the current nominations thread custodian will reach out to you privately for clarification.

Whoops! I forgot to nominate game X before nominations closed! Can I still nominate it after the official deadline passes?

Late nominations are allowed, but they are not guaranteed to be evaluated by the judges. Be sure to get your nominations in before the official deadline.

I don't believe game X deserves award Y! How do I submit an anti-nomination?

Please see the section on
anti-nominations
. Public anti-nominations will not be considered.

I don't believe I deserve award X! How do I remove myself from consideration?

Please see the section on
declining a nomination
. Public declinations will not be considered.

I have this really cool idea for a new award for the Scummies and Mashies! Who should I submit it to for consideration?

Ideas for new awards and other feedback on the Scummies and Mashies may be posted publicly in the nominations thread, posted publicly in this thread (this option is more appropriate if you want more substantial conversation around the idea), or submitted privately to either Ircher or xofelf.

Who do I contact if I want to help out with the Scummies and Mashies?

You can contact Ircher if you are interested in helping out with the Scummies and Mashies as a whole or for Scummies-specific things. For Mashies-specific things (such as the judging of the Mashies), you can contact xofelf.

Open 902: Frienemies Blitz
This was an extremely impressive scum win, where the scum team played perfectly and with impressive cooperation. While at a glance it might seem that this was not a "perfect" scum win because usesPython was eliminated Day 1, this does not detract from their play at all. The scumteam was townread by virtually everyone for most of Day 1, and the only reason usesPython was limmed at all is due to extremely unlucky and unpredictable (by the scum) circumstances, namely focusing their efforts on mislimming a Mason, and also one of the only two people scumreading Python around the middle of Day 1 being a Mason who convinced his buddies to vote with him, and the other being extremely tunneled (resulting in 4 unmovable votes on the wagon and in the counterwagon being impossible to push through due to being on a mason).
However, this scum team did not let this setback be a setback at all, and instead used it to their advantage in a brilliant move, where usesPython "desperately tried" to counterwagon Black in order to "save themselves". The result was that both Black and Save The Dragons were virtually cleared by VCA.
Of course, Black and StD did not just sit back on that towncred. They executed some of the smoothest distancing I have ever seen by scum, so that when Black eventually came under fire in the day before ELo, it was impossible to identify Save The Dragons as her partner. Combined with his masterful performance of a tunneled town mindset, he was able to defend her smoothly and without looking partnered at all, and they managed to force through an elimination on the only person who at that point was seriously pushing either of them.
As an additional note, the scum showed excellent mason-hunting skills and pinpointed the entire masonry by early Day 2.

When one thinks of flavor, especially award-worthy flavor, it is very easy to picture yourself an immersive Theme game with tons of developpement and a concept baked into every little detail that it has, Open 899 was a story about a private joke between prism and implosion with basically no planning to how it was gonna end at the end of it all

and yet, with that little, i think it acheives just as much if not more thanks to Prism pushing the idea to it's full extent without holding back on the ever-rising wackiness of the plot, it got me spectating and rooting for the scumteam just on the grounds that they were the good guys in flavor, i think this serves as proof that any game can be improved massivly by the right kind of spin to it and i'll definetly think about that game if i ever stumble upon a chuck e chesse

DragonEater70: "Very late, but I wanted to add that this game's flavor was incredibly fun, so much so that I actually enjoyed making the wrong choices on Day 1 just because I got to read the flavor detailing it in funny yet dramatic and gory detail. The flavor turned town's loss, to me, from a sour experience to a rather fun one, and that speaks a lot about how good it was."

Replaced into a doomed/confirmed scum slot. Maintained activity within the game even after dead (this game scum could still discuss game with allies in Mafia PT). To continue helping out his team even after was eliminated. Went above expectations for replacing into a doomed slot.

Hu Tao, Guillotina, Roden (honorary mentions: Enchant, Broccoli Quest 2)
In this game, no less than FIVE different players fake claimed Doctor:

Hu Tao
, a Vanilla Townie, was run up to E-1 on Day, and after having explicitly claimed VT earlier, decided to fakeclaim Doctor to live another day (which resulted in her being cleared later on and being pivotal in eliminating scum).

Additionally,
Guillotina
crumbed doctor which was spotted by two town players.

On Day 2,
Roden
(a Mafia PR) was also being run up, and fake claimed Doctor.
Broccoli Quest 2
, a Vanilla Townie who had seen Guillotina's breadcrumbs, decided to fake CC Roden, believing that Guillotina was the real Doctor and that he was covering for him.

Shortly afterwards,
Guillotina
, a mafia Doctor, fakeclaimed Doctor with fake modifiers, and CC'd his own partner Roden, voting him.

At around the same time,
Enchant
(VT) replaced in and ALSO decided to fakeclaim Doctor in order to be NK'd in Guillotina's place!

Thinking about trying to get a group together to casually help keep like an archive of all finished games on a quarterly basis, and make sure we get noms throughout the year because I think a lot of noms early in the year go missed because people are waiting to see if anything later is worth it. This is essentially the same as a nom+Nth’ing anyways.

Like Pokemon Battles 2 last year happened early last year, and I think that got drastically overlooked in terms of modding, setup design, and play by the scum team.

Imo, that was a once in a decade level game.

And just want to avoid that for next year. I also think since we always get judges to pick finalists, it’s okay to have judges pick out of noms, we just had a lack of noms in certain categories when I don’t believe that was necessary based on what we had.

This has been a thing for a long time. I understand why, I just think it can be avoided.

White Knight
2024/02/13 Firebringer Party Boat Eminence in Shadow Season 1 Replaced into a doomed/confirmed scum slot. Maintained activity within the game even after dead (this game scum could still discuss game with allies in Mafia PT). To continue helping out his team even after was eliminated. Went above expectations for replacing into a doomed slot.

"last time I was scum with Firebringer
his first post in the scum PT was "yes I rolled scum!"
I decided to post "haha just don't post that in the main thread", but to get up to date on the main thread first.

Oh look, here's the nomination (I felt so evil saying this while the game was still ongoing, lol):

DragonEater70 usesPython, Black, Save The Dragons Open 902: Frienemies Blitz
This was an extremely impressive scum win, where the scum team played perfectly and with impressive cooperation. While at a glance it might seem that this was not a "perfect" scum win because usesPython was eliminated Day 1, this does not detract from their play at all. The scumteam was townread by virtually everyone for most of Day 1, and the only reason usesPython was limmed at all is due to extremely unlucky and unpredictable (by the scum) circumstances, namely focusing their efforts on mislimming a Mason, and also one of the only two people scumreading Python around the middle of Day 1 being a Mason who convinced his buddies to vote with him, and the other being extremely tunneled (resulting in 4 unmovable votes on the wagon and in the counterwagon being impossible to push through due to being on a mason).
However, this scum team did not let this setback be a setback at all, and instead used it to their advantage in a brilliant move, where usesPython "desperately tried" to counterwagon Black in order to "save themselves". The result was that both Black and Save The Dragons were virtually cleared by VCA.
Of course, Black and StD did not just sit back on that towncred. They executed some of the smoothest distancing I have ever seen by scum, so that when Black eventually came under fire in the day before ELo, it was impossible to identify Save The Dragons as her partner. Combined with his masterful performance of a tunneled town mindset, he was able to defend her smoothly and without looking partnered at all, and they managed to force through an elimination on the only person who at that point was seriously pushing either of them.
As an additional note, the scum showed excellent mason-hunting skills and pinpointed the entire masonry by early Day 2.

When one thinks of flavor, especially award-worthy flavor, it is very easy to picture yourself an immersive Theme game with tons of developpement and a concept baked into every little detail that it has, Open 899 was a story about a private joke between prism and implosion with basically no planning to how it was gonna end at the end of it all

and yet, with that little, i think it acheives just as much if not more thanks to Prism pushing the idea to it's full extent without holding back on the ever-rising wackiness of the plot, it got me spectating and rooting for the scumteam just on the grounds that they were the good guys in flavor, i think this serves as proof that any game can be improved massivly by the right kind of spin to it and i'll definetly think about that game if i ever stumble upon a chuck e chesse
