Best Townie
This award is based on a player's overall performance in town roles throughout the year.  Nominees must have at least 4 games during the year as town to qualify.

Best Scum
This award is based on a player's overall performance in scum roles throughout the year.  Nominees must have at least 2 games during the year as scum to qualify.

This award is for any original set-up eligible for game awards this year.

Best Original Role
This award is for any original role included in a game eligible for awards this year.

Best Flavor
This award is for the best flavor used throughout a game eligible for awards this year.  Nominations should take into consideration how well the flavor was used throughout the game, not just how awesome the flavor is in and of itself.

Mod of the Year
This award is for the best mod of the year.  Nominations should take into account not just game creation, but also responsiveness, accuracy, availability to players, and creativity.

I do NOT need justifications for any of these at this time.  Once I parse the nominations and decide on finalists, I may reach out to nominators for descriptions if I am not familiar with something.

Discussion in this thread should be restrained to discussion of eligibility for awards, criteria, and clarifications.

Do NOT post nominations or ideas for who should be nominated in this thread.  They will be deleted.

For best town/scum in a single game, do we have to include the player and the game?

[sudgy]

Also, you said going up through MXXXV, game of thrones, when MXXXIV is game of thrones and MXXXV is Chocolate Factory.

Fixed.

I was going to do some stat based research for the nominating process, but I think instead to make it less work I will do it once the nominees have been announced and provide some more specific data then. Obviously stats is only a part of the process and should be treated as such, but I think it is worth looking at.

I made my nominations. I would ask that everyone spend at least a few minutes on this, so that all worthy candidates have a chance to be recognized.

Thanks again, ashersky!

Me too!

The one thing I might ask - can we talk about who is eligible for the Newbie award (first 3 games) one? Because I only submitted one person since I'm so uncertain of who is eligible for that award. Revealing people we think are eligible kind of reveals who we nominated, but I don't want someone awesome to only get nominated once because only one person realizes it and so ash decides to leave them off the finalists list.

I say go ahead and nominate them, later ash and maybe a few others can look over and see if they qualify as newbies... the term is kinda vague... jorbles would be considered a newbie in Bankers as it was only his second game, but he obviously wasn't a newbie having been around for months and hosting games himself previous to bankers...

I nominated I believe 3 people for that award, who were all true newbies.. i.e., they were playing their first game with us.

I do think it would be a lark to have something like this... so long as the nominations come from the players nominating themselves, so there would be no hurt feelings. maybe as an april fools day event?

That Blitz game, where I acted like jerk scum on purpose, was scum, was lynched for it.

Yuma is right, just nominate who you think was a newbie.  I'll verify all nominations to make sure they are valid.

[ashersky]

Nominations will close on December 11, 2013.

[ashersky]

Final reminder, PM your nominations!
