Announcing

The First Annual

GDS Scummie Awards!

 

Nominations are now closed. Ballot Thread will be posted by Sunday January 13th.

 

 

Mafia took the Dog Pound by storm in 2007 and in celebration of all those wasted hours the AMPGDSDP (Academy of Mafia Practicioners in the Grey Dog Software Dog Pound) is now accepting nominations for the first annual GDS Scummie Awards!

 

I'll try to emulate the process we've used for diary awards in the past. Post in this thread your nominations and or suggestions for categories. We'll start with the standard catagories as documented on MafiaWiki. Over time, I'll add some clarifying descriptions to the category names -- if you have feedback on how best to define a category, let me know.

 

Since this is the first time we've done this, we'll be making it up as we go along in some fashion. Suggestions, constructive feedback, etc. encouraged.

 

Nominations are now closed. The ballot thread will be posted over the weekend, and voting will continue through 12:00am EST/6am GMT Friday, January 25.

 

SadisticBlessings has offered to assist me with the vote tally so when the time comes for votes please PM both SadisticBlessings and myself. DO NOT SEND VOTE PM's UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO!

 

Thanks!

 

'Banger

 

NOTE: No self-nominations, please.

Best Individual Performance - Pro Town - Machinesxe-Cverse V2. I mean I won and was able to walk away without anyone ever getting to touch me. I won by myself, I helped the town get rid of the serial killer and walked out helping them know I wasn't there to attack them.....Plus I did all this after the CVerse v1 and we all know how that ended..."Trust me"

Ahem.

 

Didn't think I would need to say this, but in hindsight I probably should have.

 

NO SELF-NOMINATIONS! Honestly folks, if you really were that spiffy, someone will nominate you. Heck, tell your friends to nominate you and nominate them in return. But self-nominations just aren't kosher in my book.

I'd also agree to a category for best Mod, though I am also undecided about who to nominate for that.

 

 

Could anyone dig up and post the links to ALL the mafia games played here through 2007. I know with my suggestions I was limited to those games I either read (barebones) or played in (VG,DOTT) and it isn't fair to the people who played the earlier games that they might be missed by some. Its the holidays and I have nothing else to do, I wouldn't mind browsing through the older games, that is if someone can tell me where to find them.

Best Individual Performance - Mason/Cult Wallbanger WWE Mafia. He was known or at least should have been known to be recruted almost right away, yet some how goes on to not only live but be part of the first non town win.

 

Oh and SadisticBlessings has to be in the HoF.

 

Also could someone post a link to all the mafia games that have been played?

I can't get the search feature to produce any kind of result. I went to the advanced window, checked sort by number of views.. nothing, did the same with a search for the phrase "mafia".. nothing.

 

I am sure its something I am not doing corectly but damn if I can figure out what it is.

 

Got to go down to the bottom of the page and set he forum to show all posts from the last year. Then click on replies and they'll be at the top of the list.

Thank you Outlaw.

I tried that and it would say I needed a keyword. I'd then try it searching for "Mafia" and it would say there was no result.

 

I do not like the search feature very much!!
