Revision as of 06:17, 2 July 2017
I'm just this guy, you know?
I'm a longtime player and a relative newbie all at once. I started playing Mafia when it was introduced to my old message board by mith himself, before MS was even a thing. But I played maybe 4-5 games total there, quit years ago, and only started playing again on MS in 2015.
I consider myself a better scum player than a town player, probably because I'm better at being townread than I am at actually forming correct reads and being scum relieves me of the need to do the latter. This is something I'm working on.
As of March 2017, I have never been lynched on MafiaScum, and never been mislynched in any game of forum Mafia anywhere. Personally I don't think this should be read into too much, but it's still fun to mention. (Update: Both these streaks ended in April 2017.)

| Everyone had pretty much decided to lynch my slot before I replaced in, and flat-out told me nothing I could say or do would change their minds. Can't complain, I pretty much knew this was the deal replacing in and anyway a win's a win.

Lynched Day 1
|
Town Win
|
| I sort of lurked my way through the start of the day, only to come in and declare Lil Uzi Vert town when he was on the point of being lynched. "Derailing the wagon" was suspicious for some reason and it was basically impossible to argue I was innocent from that point. I take some consolation in having had my vote on scum from my first post to the moment I was lynched, even if being right didn't save me.

Mafia Win
|
| A 2:7 mountainous game where everyone was restricted to a finite and decreasing number of posts per day, while Mafia had unlimited daytalk. Aside from the general scumsidedness, the game slowed down to a standstill as people hoarded their posts. Aside from that, my reads were completely wrong in every respect, and it seems everyone else's were too. Socrates played quite well as scum, despite not really needing to.

| Our roleblocker was lynched day 1, making for an uphill battle, but a series of good nightkills (we shot a power role literally every night, starting with the cop) made up for it. Near the end I was worried about davesaz, who we knew was a serial killer although town didn't. I strongly suspected that he was bulletproof and we would be forced into an unwinnable endgame. I went a bit crazy during the last two nights, analyzing all the possible dilemma scenarios in excruciating detail, only to have him go and die the first time we shot him.

| Worst town game ever; I deserved the lynch. In my defense, I was away for the first few IRL days and by the time I got back the game was 70 pages or so and I never did quite catch up. I will say podoboq white-knighted me pretty effectively.

|
| Probably my best scum game to date. I replaced into a slot that was probably due to be lynched the next day, turned it into the most townread slot in the game, and cashed in that town cred to push three consecutive mislynches, including one on a highly active and pro-town player who would probably have been unlynchable otherwise.

Town Win
|
| Replaced the lurkiest of all lurkers under some minor suspicion, to find that PsychoticDave had already provably fakeclaimed and somehow Human Sequencer was the only one who cared. Once we lynched him, the Mafia was all but forced by the setup to stop shooting in order to have any hope of winning. TTTT made a strong effort but I don't think anything could have saved him, given that the two chosen townies were also the two most obvtown players in the game.

Killed Night 2
|
Town Win
|
| The Mafia was completely destroyed; three lynched in three days. Sickofit11138 the SK survived a bit longer, being lynched d5 for the win. I outed myself D1 in response to a fakeclaim (by a townie, go figure), but managed to survive a night and come out with a guilty on Pine.
The game used a new mechanic in which the dead thread controlled one vote between them. As such, when I was killed N2 with another guilty, on Sick, that vote ended up locked there for the rest of the game. This probably didn't have much effect on the outcome, all told.

| Replaced into a slot at L-1, but this was mostly for inactivity. Successfully pushed a lynch on one goon, then used a truly beautiful statistical analysis of his posts to convince myself and everyone else that Lil Uzi Vert was his partner. Too bad I was completely wrong. Lesson learned: test new techniques before employing them in an ongoing game.

| First run of a new multiball setup based on Matrix6; I felt it was balanced enough in the end, though obviously it will take more runs to decide. The town never lynched a single werewolf or mafioso, but might well have won anyway if Dunnstral had followed his instinct to shoot Zachstralkita at the right time.

| This setup encourages townhunting over scumhunting, but despite that most of us (myself included) correctly identified the scum on Day 1, as well as correctly identifying a winning strategy based. At the very end, however, paranoia got the best of lane0168 and he mislynched. It happens to all of us sometimes.

| I correctly identified A Simple Plan as scum from the start of the game, but it took a failed fakeclaim at mylo to get the town to go along with me. This was convenient, as I probably would have been a viable mislynch if I couldn't point to my consistent pushes on ASP as counterevidence.

| I pushed two mislynches and hard-defended scum, even inadvertently helping him to fakeclaim, which made me the obvious suspect after he effectively outed himself at the end of D2. I was saved by the setup and by the lack of a counterclaim when I revealed. Aquanim was town MVP, replacing in late, making himself obvtown, and correctly arguing for my innocence and BrainpanSonata's guilt; but ultimately this was a lucky win.

| I was townread by most of the town, but not by a plain farmer, who turned out to be the vigilante. Ironically, we blocked Farmer from shooting the doctor on N1, giving him a second chance, which he used to shoot me. Then the next day he caught our roleblocker Bins in a lie and all but proved she was scum. Zachstralkita didn't want to hear it, though, and pushed a mislynch at mylo on a player who should have been confirmed town by my interactions with him.

| First in the draft order, hell yeah!
With the exception of a few standout players, most of the town did pretty poorly. This seemed like a likely scum win from very early on. But Pisskop, via his awful reads and lazy attitude, managed to fly under the radar until 5p lylo, at which point he suddenly smartened up dramatically and not only correctly identified the remaining scum but correctly identified one as vengeful, allowing town to lynch in the correct order and win. I'm still not sure whether his earlier play was an act or not.
I managed to crumb my clears well enough, but they were pretty obvtown by the time I died anyway. I was aided in surviving as long as I did by Hinduragi, who knew my role due to the setup and fake-slipped to draw the kill.

| Town lynched scum D1, no thanks to me. After both PRs softclaimed on D2 without anyone counterclaiming, the game was pretty much an auto-win for town, though Almost50 managed to be hard-townread by nearly everyone in the game for a long time and probably would have won if not for having had such bad luck early on.

| Rolled a scum PR for my first game ever on MS. While I played well, I think we owe most of our success to the town cop, who deliberately acted sketchy on D1, quickhammered town, then claimed at the very start of D2, which claim was widely greeted with skepticism. My partner zeevo's counterclaim sealed Blackstar's mislynch, put the game on rails straight up to 3-player lylo, and made it easy for me to blend in with no real decisions to be made except whom to shoot. I do give myself style points for endgaming the IC.
