Talk:Malton Murder Awards 2011

Nominations

Zombie/Death-Cult Awards

Best Zombie Moment

1. The March of the Dead 2011: After a long period of semi-dormancy, the Dead resurfaced with the help of Death cultist subsidiaries and drove survivors to the brink of extinction. -- Albert Schwan  _{Tuesday, 1 November 2011}

Harmanbargar Awards

Best Survivor Moment

1. Everyone vs The Dead 2011: In an event that shaped the face of Malton, Survivors rallied after being reduced to their lowest number in some time. Eventually, the push back involved almost all major groups, including some zombies and PKers, who all worked to turn the tide. The resulting map had but two red suburbs and was mostly green.-- Albert Schwan  _{Tuesday, 1 November 2011}

Ineptitude Awards

Most Inept Group

1. The Heathers: This once notable PKer group spent the end of 2010 and the entirety of 2011 hunting (with only moderate success) the same group of survivors for whom they were awarded a 2010 MMA. Even though those survivors neither hid nor retaliated, the Heathers continued to tout it as a landslide victory. With no original taunts in a year, no need to hunt their prey, no threat of reprisal, and only occasional diversions into other unsuccessful operations, their actions stand as a testament to laziness and ineptitude truly worthy of this award. -- Albert Schwan  _{Tuesday, 1 November 2011}

Newcomer Awards

Eligible are all groups/individuals who have entered the game in the last 18 months.

Best Dressed

Judge's Area

For one thing, I want to keep JP discussion this year as transparent as possible, so I try to keep as much of it on the wiki as possible. Of course, cat-herding 5 folks without employing forums PMs, e-mail and IRC will be tough, so this plan is almost guaranteed to fail, but it is still something I will try to. -- Spiderzed█ 16:45, 27 October 2011 (BST)

Categories

Any comment's from my fellow judges about the categories? Carrie wondered on IRC if we could have a survivor category this year. -- Spiderzed█ 16:45, 27 October 2011 (BST)

I'm totally down with a survivor category. Since we already cover PK'ers,BH'ers and zeds, why not? Only seems fair. Any decent PK'er worth their salt will have encountered some survivor group whom they'll have gained a little respect for after all. Let's see a best/wittiest taunt in here too. Bit of recognition for those class one liners that often get missed. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

Oh, Best Taunt. Yes, that deserves its own entry. Last year, all such attempts got swamped out by broader PKer events like the war on ACC. -- Spiderzed█ 22:44, 27 October 2011 (BST)

Added, along with Best Dressed. -- Spiderzed█ 23:05, 28 October 2011 (BST)

Time Range

Checking for the man-hunt events, I saw that Red October ends on November 22 and that AHMH5 starts on December 2. I'd prefer a clean cut that gives people some wiggling room to vote for the current event without bleeding over into the next, so I'd like to change the end date to November 30 (giving one week to evaluate and vote for RO2, without overlapping into AHMH5). Anyone against that? -- Spiderzed█ 12:38, 28 October 2011 (BST)

That's fine with me. AHMH4 happened after the last Malties. Of course so did the first Red October. :P ~ _{14:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)}

All good in the hood, SZ. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

Extended then. -- Spiderzed█ 23:05, 28 October 2011 (BST)

Do not cast your vote yet. Categories are still subject to panel discussion. -- Spiderzed█ 15:33, 27 October 2011 (BST)

Frankly after the Bullshit nomination last year of the FU into a finalist position when they tied for votes with SFHNAS I'm glad you've actually got some voices of reason on the panel this year. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 15:44, 27 October 2011 (BST)

Yup. But we've got Harrison too, so...for every ying, a yang. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

Prediction: Half the PKer community do not recognise this MMA and hold their own (the other cobra crowd). Natural result of Prediction: Lulz.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 18:02, 27 October 2011 (BST)

I demand a jury of Ross and 11 other sys-ops to arbitrate this. -- Spiderzed█ 18:11, 27 October 2011 (BST)

I rule in favour of the side that posts the most images of Bill Duke on the wiki in the next week, whilst avoiding vandalism/misconduct punishment. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 18:33, 27 October 2011 (BST)

wow yon. that was funny. #truth--User:Sexualharrison22:09, 27 October 2011 (bst)

Jury, Spidey? Who do you think you are? Me? :P --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 22:46, 27 October 2011 (BST)

I do. I also refuse all non-sys-ops as arbitrators, and won't participate unless there are at least 12 members in the jury. -- Spiderzed█ 22:53, 27 October 2011 (BST)

There's only 9 SysOps, excluding yourself. Unless you wish to count Kevan and Urbandead as well, that will be 11. The question is...Will you be able to convince Kevan and Urbandead to partake in this jury? ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:08, 27 October 2011 (BST)

Who said I was to be excluded? -- Spiderzed█ 23:21, 27 October 2011 (BST)

In what category would you suggest nominating "everyone vs The Dead 2011"? Perhaps a crossover event category? Also, does the failure of a PKer group to do anything of merit in the last year and half while still remaining constantly active count as ineptitude?-- Albert Schwan  _{Tuesday, 1 November 2011}

Tricky one that. Could be under Best Zombie moment or Best Survivor, considering we did figure them out and pull off an amazing 'V The Mini Series' comeback. Either way, it's deffo gonna win an award cos it was the highlight moment of the year no doubt. Also, sure, why not. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

Since the pro-active part of the overall new March of the Dead was driven by the zombie side, I would file it under zombie moment. Particular smaller events within that scope driven by survivors might fall under survivor event. -- Spiderzed█ 01:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

So the original march would be a zombie moment but the survivor rally/comeback amd C.R.A.P. campaign would be a survivor moment? Good to know. I presume you will post when you are ready to take nominations? -- Albert Schwan  _{Tuesday, 1 November 2011}

Nominations have been open for 1.5 hours now. I just don't want to be the first, since I already judge. I'd first like to see what other people consider as noteworthy without influencing them. -- Spiderzed█ 01:38, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Newcomer Awards

After last year's discussion about Natasha Fatale and the good points DDR brought up, I have decided to set the time range from 12 to 18 months. Original proposal was 15 months - I just added 3 months to make up for the fact that this year's MMA will be about 3 months later. -- Spiderzed█ 16:45, 27 October 2011 (BST)
