[Scummies]

This is a split off of the Scummies Ideas, Suggestions and Comments Thread for the Mish Mash Community.

We look forward to your suggestions!

One thing I do want to say, new categories are great and awesome, but a thing to remember, we gotta have people willing to judge these categories as well. When I look for judges, I let people opt into which categories they want to do judging for, and this usually works out okay. It's just a slight concern I have and would want the community to be willing to keep volunteering to do that when the time comes.

I made a post about some ideas here

I know it's kind of late for this year, but I'd be willing to judge things in the future. I honestly didn't know you only had to judge a single category or two- I thought it was judge them all thing and I didn't really have the experience/time necessary to do that.

Weeeeell I like if you could vote them all, but I'm not going to force somebody to judge a category they don't want to(also obviously, you can't vote a category you're nominated for). I did get enough judges this year though, thanks <3

I did think, looking at the Mashies this year, that there were too few categories.

We also don't want to water them down or make too many.

I think a big part of this conversation is balancing awards to the community.

I also have some suggestions for changes to the mashies.

We seem to have a "favorite player" award that encompasses play over the whole year, but no corresponding award for mods. I think we should also have a "best mod" (body of work) award as well as a "best overall person in mish mash" that includes both modding and playing (similar to what I think the newbie award is for, but not specific to newbies). The latter could be a lifetime award like aronis suggested, although I think a yearly one is also fine!

I think it would be fine to combine awards where appropriate, I don't think we need to be adding a ton of categories but I also think the current categories don't entirely encompass all of the things we should be celebrating.

You're definitely right. Nominating more would also help that

[Malkon05]

I nominate ;-;

I think a most improved category in social games I think could possibly be a nice addition.
