Wallbanger Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 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!

Wallbanger Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 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.

Antithesis Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 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.
