I am pretty bad at mafia :-(.

Memorable #mafia/scumchat games:
Pie_is_good 5/10/07, mafia with shea and thor, all 3 survived til end, got cop and doc lynched. Winning like 30 ss3's in a row versus two people in scum chat at one point... I think NAR and Justin? All the UPICKs I've modded (10-15 so far, in 2 week timespan).

Game	Mod	Setup	Role	Death?	Result
Mini 425: Generic Western Mafia	Sefer	Closed	Vanilla Town	NKed N1	Mafia Win
I was "obviously town" and my replacement (for like a week or two) was NK'd night one despite his scumminess because of my actions. However, I didn't have great reads on the scum... I don't take much blame or credit for this one, though it is nice to get NK'd as vanilla and have the two power roles survive all game. I would definitely play in a Sefer-modded game again.
Mini 435: Julius Ceasar Mafia	PBug	Closed	Vanilla Town	Lynched D1	Abandoned
All's well that ends...?
Mini 416: AM Mafia	Skruffs	Closed	Vanilla Town	Lynched D4	Mafia Win
I replaced in, found one scum on my initial re-read, and then found the other scum due to his play at lylo. I represented this to the town, and was lynched for it. I may be a bit stubborn in this, but I blame the town (minus Jingolaw who played quite well), I found both scum and still got lynched, it is hard for me to accept fault for that. Oh -- and I didn't mention -- I had the opportunity to hammer one of the scum at LYLO, and noted this. People still mislynched me, even after I didn't hammer at LYLO. Quite a frustrating endgame for me. The only positive note I draw from this is it give credence and truth to my meta that I am always mislynched when scum hunting, and that I am pretty good at scum hunting. Props to Jack and especially Panzerjager for getting the town to believe that I was scum and winning what should have been an unwinnable endgame.
Mini 462: Just another game of Mafia	mnowax	Bastard/Closed	Mason	End-gamed	Mafia Win
I replaced in at lylo with 2 NKs having occurred the night before. Neither dead player had a NK, so I assumed both remaining players had to have one. I had read the remaining townsperson as definitely pro-town, but that made zero sense with him not claiming to have a NK, and there being 2 NKs the previous night. I led to him being mislynched, and post-game the mod revealed that the mafia got a 'powerup', that gave them two NKs, and told them who the remaining power roles were. I don't see what I could have done to predict this and win the game, considering that the setup was a Mini "Normal". Oh well.
Mini 478: Simenon's Too Much Scum	Simenon	Open	Vanilla Town	NKed Night 1 by SK	SK Win
Town got to endgame with SK, Rishi made the wrong choice. Town also quicklynched the confirmable town power role while I was away for three days. Meh.
Mini 461: "24" Mafia	PookyTheMagicalBear	Closed	Vanilla Town	Endgamed	Mafia Win
This game sucked a lot. Yosarian2 won the game for the scum. Albert B. Rampage was the only one who trusted me in endgame, while petroleumjelly and ibaesha pushed for a mislynch of the last townie, despite Albert and I figuring out the scumgroup. This is the third time I have lost endgame as town despite having figured out the scum group. People really need to trust me more in endgame.
Open 29: C9 + 2	Mert	C9 + 2	Vanilla Town	Lynched D4	Mafia Win
The town lost the game for themselves, despite (imo) my good play and identifying the last scum at day 4 lylo. somestrangeflea placed someone he found an innocent result on at lynch -1, YogurtBandit refused to defend himself under threat of lynch, Rishi mislynched me day 4... The only props in this game go to Ripley who did well while alive, and Crub who did very well to convince Rishi into voting me... This is the fourth game I found scum at lylo and was mislynched.
Newbie 390	Mastermind_of_Sin	C9	Vanilla Town	Lynched Day 2	Mafia Win
The mafia didn't know they were mafia due to mod error. It made it kind of hard to find them.
Mini 489: Short and Sweet	ibaesha	Open	Townie	Survived	Town win
First town win, wooh! Many players played well to get us the win; we played almost flawlessly. Fun game, I enjoyed it, more comments in the thread. Great setup, too.
Mafia 64: The New c9	LoudmouthLee	Semi-Open	Vanilla Townie	Lynched Day 3	Town Win

Open 32: Pick Your Poison	Thesp	Open	Vanilla Townie	Survived	Town Win
Best game for me as town, ever. I helped in great part to nail 2/3 of the scum, and was on the lynch of the third. People thought I was obvtown too; the scum tried to kill me. If only every game went that way =P.

Open 23: Masons and Monks	JDodge	Masons and Monks	Mafia (with LSU Tiger Josh)	Endgamed	Werewolf win
Gah. Could easily have gotten a mafia win here, LSU wanted to kill one of the werewolves night one, and I presuaded him to change the kill. Even as scum, my scumdar needs to be fixed. I don't feel that bad for surviving 'til endgame; the town played quite badly and never lynched scum, LSU and I only lost because a townie (Sweenytod) helped the werewolves to lynch my partner just to end the game. Also, in fairness, I replaced in for NAR and didn't get lynched. :D
Open 24: Texas Justice Mafia	IH/CrashTextDummie	Texas Justice Mafia	Mafia (with ThAdmiral and Whome?)	N1 NK'd by inHimIshallbe	Town win
I replaced into a situation where both my partners were up for lynch/N1 NK, and apparently my post "this game is too easy" reeked for scum to inHimIshallbe -- I mainatin I would have posted that anyways, but oh well. To my credit, I bussed both my partners and got two townies to kill my third "obvious" scum suspect -- who I really thought was scum before I replaced, lol. Town were really proud of their win, but not take anything away from them -- imo the mafia, me included played badly. Only I would have lived to see day 2 potentially, and inHimIshallbe ruined that. :P
Mini 455: Theoville	theopor_COD	Closed	Mafia (with Streeflo and Jalyn(rep. DogMom))	D2 lynched	Mafia Win
This game was a blast. See my comments in the game... it was at the time the game I'd had most fun in on mafiascum.
Open 39: Crush Nightless	InHimshallibe	Crush Nightless	Goon with Crub Godfather	Endgamed	Lyncher Win
Eh, we lost because I wanted to lynch Jdodge, and the case on him was easy. Had he been a bit less of a dick/suspicious of me I'd have hammered Kerplunk, a townie but not the lynchee, and things might have ended differently. Well done Sammich, the lyncher. I was suspicious of Schis early, shouldn't have abandoned that...
Newbie 400	petroleumjelly	Pie C9	Mafia with Cyanide	Survived	Mafia Win
Despite my partner going MIA, I got two townies to vote the third in a 3 person endgame, and hammered. I felt bad, as I won in 2 weeks of replacing and they lost in 4 months of playing, but I did play well and finally got another mafia win.

Mini 456: Ultimatum	pablito	Guardian	Mini 456	Conservative Mafia Victory
The conservative Mafia player an excellent game. I nominated The Fonz for a scummy for his efforts. Yosarian2 and Albert B. Rampage also played admirably. VanDamien was a pretty good liberal scum. Mr Stoofer and mneme played pretty well as town... the rest of the town, less so. Good setup, well-deserved win, and I would definitely consider revisiting the setup at some point in the future. Hearty thanks to pablito for having me co-mod, and mucho props to him for great work on the setup and in modding the game.
Mini 453: Insert Title Here	superstring91	Guardian	Mini 453	Mod Abandoned
I co-modded for a week or two while superstring91 was on vacation. I found a replacement, and everything went smoothly for a bit... Then superstring91 abandoned the game, which is a shame. The setup was a bit OFF though...
Open 30: Fire and Ice	Guardian	YogurtBandit	Open 30	Town Victory
I love the setup. I think I and YB are doing a good job modding, the game has pretty good flavor, and the cast of players is quite excellent -- resulting in a flawless town win!
Mini 469: Self Guided	Skruffs	Guardian	Mini 469	SK Win
Skruffs did most of the work here, and I am happy to be involved with it. I basically contributed vote counts, and was a board for bouncing ideas off of. It is a truly great idea and Schismatised pulled out a nice win.
Newbie 402	EmpTyger	Guardian	C9	Mafia Win
I pitched in for a week to do vote counts while EmpTyger was out of town. Nothing much to speak of :).
Open 20: Pie E7	CrashTextDummie	Guardian	Pie E7	Mafia Win.
I modded for two weeks while CTD was on vacation. I did some interesting flavor about how CTD had been too nice a mod and I was bringing change etc., and kept up some banter with the players as I didn't read the PM CTD sent of their alignments, and told the players that, so there was no way I could be giving anything away. I don't think I would consider doing that again unless I again didn't know the players alignment. As such, it was fun, some of them enjoyed the humor, and in that situation I would do it again :). Mafia lurked their way to a win.
Mini 500: Cult Mafia	Guardian	n/a	Semi-Open	Mafia Win
I decided to run a semi-open game with a mafia, cult, and town, due to popular demand. Comments after :).
Open 42: Friends and Enemies	Guardian	n/a	Open	Mafia Win
Per managed to look townlike enough to fool the town into not being at all suspicious of his replacement the 3 person endgame, leading to an easy mafia win.
Mini 492: LazyCity	Wizardcat	Guardian	Closed	Mafia Win
Wizardcat went MIA and I had to replace for a bit. Comments after :).

Battle Royale III	Blackberry	Open	No Role	7th	Ongoing
Blackberry is a good mod. Fun game. ChaosOmega, who I had an alliance with, made final four and could win the whole thing as of this writing.  :-). It's over now, you know. Also, you forgot completely about me. =;'_';= - Wizardcat
Toadstool Traitor	Blackberry	Open	Traitor	Lost?	Hella Fun!
This game was awesome. I was the traitor, and had a lot of creative input, and it was really cool trying to fool people and skirt the edge of 50%, the required stars total. I am not at all disappointed in not winning -- winning was not a priority for me in this game :). Hope it was fun for others, and I'd love to do it all over again.
