Ranmaru

Hi, my name is Ranmaru. Real name is Carlos. I’m 23, and I like to play mafia because it’s fun. I started playing it on smashboards. I also play smash, but I’m busier now with working out and school, so it’s rare for me to smash. Skill wise, I’m lower than mediocre I think. Others may think I’m worse than that, and I’m fine with that, as long as they help me in some way. Anyways, I always strive to improve. I suck at logic. I suck at a lot of things, so I can only really get better by a lot of practice. Personality wise, I always ask a lot of questions. I’m always curious, and I’m trying to improve how my questions help me. It’s simply my playstyle. I know the “this guy must be scum for always asking a lot of questions” tell will be coming, and especially from someone I read as town. It irritates me beyond belief. It makes me hesitate to join games here, but I’ll most likely try a newbie in the future or some normal to get back into it, once I have some time. My reads suck. Finding scum is hard.

I prefer being town as opposed to scum. I just hate being scum. I hate it less with help from players better than me. But still. I’m always more into being the good guy, rather than the bad guy. It’s a mindset thing.

I study at Temple University now. I’m majoring in Social Work, and want to minor in Computer Science. I do Yongmudo Hapkido every Monday/Wednesday/Thursday/Sunday. Trying to get fit you know. I’ll need to work in my professional life too, which has been in the back of my mind.

Really, just get to know me a bit, and you might like me. I'm a funny and nice guy.

Game	Alignment	Mod	link	Method of arrival	Win/Lose
Newbie 1083 Mafia	Vanilla townie	Uite	[[2]]	Signed up	Night killed N2. Lead town for a bit, but didn't do well in catching scum. Sorry Town. Town lost D3.
Open 300	Vanilla townie	SingerSigner	[[3]]	Replaced in	Lynched D4 for frantic posting, going the low road in some arguments, and bringing up a fallacious argument against Zito. Town followed the cop. Won.
Mini 1146	Vanilla townie	Chesskid3	[[4]]	Replaced in	Won. Hammered scum without even reading the thread. Was busy with school, sorry town. I promise that won't happen again.
Newbie 1091	Vanilla Townie	Dekes	[[5]]	Replaced in	My most satisfying win. Cut down because I don't like it taking so much space. Basically, I replaced in to catch SCUM GLOW. Boy did I catch her, but she played well, so did LK. Good job guys. I was so glad for her self hammer. If you are scum, please follow suit. : P
Fall of the Matrix	Townie	Mastermind of sin	[[6]]	Replaced in	Mafia win. I replaced in at request of SingerSigner, did well. I got lazy later on. It was fun! : D I liked the players in this game too. Deff would play in MoS's games again.
Large normal 132	Body Guard	Untrod upod	[[7]]	Signed up	Town win. Earlier on I was attacked by scum role blocker, pretty aggressive. I didn't do well that game. Learned to follow up with my questions. I guess I was fooling around in RVS, but I did scumhunt. I usually do so by asking questions. *Shrug* It happens a lot. Mana ku. :/
Open 305	Vanilla Townie	Chkflip	[[8]]	Replaced in	Lost, endgamed. My fault. I just took it as a "Well you shouldn't kill yourself over Lylo" and so I looked at a few connections and just hammered Empking. Sorry everyone. Bad play I showed here.
Set's Speed mafia	Vanilla Townie	Seteal	[[9]]	Signed up/ Pre-inned	Well. This was a fun game, and was high in content. Yum. So, this town was a bit on the newbie side. Most thought lying = scum tells, etc. Even so, Sensfan gambitted masons with Toast, who was also townie. Toast's reaction was obv townie, but he then coasted the rest of the game. ;-; Anyways, I then gambitted being daycop, saying I got an inno on Sensfan. I wanted more stances from players because everyone would have lynched Sensfan just for lying. Beck came in trying to diffuse the gambit. He was town tho, even tho he seemed scummy in the beggining. After a while one could tell he was hunting for scum in his own way. I later gave up and let myself be lynched because I didn't want to be a liability during lylo, because everyone felt I was scum for gambitting daycop. Sorry town. It was fun tho. And I was ok with gambitting since it was a speed game.
Double Dip mafia	Mason	Petroleum Jelly	[[10]]	Signed up	I was masoned with Iamausername (almost spelled mane lol, if we ever hydra, we'd be iamausermain) and had a fun time because I <3 masons. We could only talk at night, and I was doing my thing. Got head to head with LK, who was also town damn it. He played well though. I guess I had slight doubts of Imag, but I got distracted by Kunk hammering, Crazy hard defending him for a scummmy action, and DGB just being a bit... [Adjective for making me want to lynch her]. Even so, I was waffling HARD on her. I was going to go Crazy/Kunkstar first but Quilford hammered DGB saying "I just can't... I just can't..." which was kinda dumb. No dumb hammers plz. I'd have more to say but I don't remember. Even so, was a fun game, and a fun mechanic. Something to note, it seemed Crazy thought he'd have me on his side because of 'wifom' use and he was attacking someone who used it. He was confused as to why I was ok with it. I was just through experience.
Newbie 1151	Mafia RoleCop	Uite	[[11]]	Replaced In	First time being scum. I despise it. D: Anyways Uite needed someone to replace in since I inned the que with my buddy stels. I replaced into a fresh game though. I was mafia, and once I replaced in, day started. This was my only gripe, was that I replaced in and didn't get much time to prep with my buddy, Epsilon Andrew. One thing you guys don't know, is that I'm very paranoid as scum. I have been like WAT at some of Ep's posts. His motives were to address my attackers or something. I of course made a whole wall of stuff (in word) for him to peruse so I could post it during the day and not waste time. He improved much afterwards. Luckily he wasn't looked hard upon, because of newbish vibes, and because the town was pretty wacky. Only person to notice me was Krazy, who had me as null. Rest of the town had me read as town. I didn't want to kill him at night because then I would be the only SE there, and it would seem weird for newbie scum to kill the IC but not the SE. OMG. I think I forgot to rolecop. Can you believe that? I forgot to send in an action. *facepalm* Even so I did use it at least once and found the jailer by accident! Basically I was talking about a popcorn setup, but not for claiming roles. Racer (da jailer) goes "NO!! NO MASSCLAIM!" So yeah. Ez role. Also, at lylo, I wanted to alpha stryke... But was paranoid since I didn't know if my buddy would be online or not. I'll just express both our thoughts through quotes: "Cmon Muffin man. I saw you post like 2 secs ago. Just vote stels now. I'm ready bro. *sees nothing* Ok man, I can tell telepathically that you don't want me to vote and screw this game up for us. Ok, I got ya. I won't vote. I'll drag it out instead" His thoughts: 'Yes, Ranmaru. Goddammit. I'm like "any day now, Ranmaru will post vote:Stels.... any day now.... Ranmaru? RANMARU?" Had to make idle chatter in the mean time.' Fun game none the less. I played well early but lurked later on because of LoL and stuff.
Metroid Mafia	Town Joat	WeirdAlex	[[12]]	Signed Up	So. I was Samus Aran, deff had fun with this role. I got distracted by UberNinja, but it seemed she was just playing around with a Posting Restriction. I just felt she came out because she was caught, but damn it I was wrong and i'm so sowwy. ;-; Anyways, her play made me laugh. I will dig that quote up, it was awesome. xD Ok, but then BAM, site crashed. Even so, we just lynched FuDuzn. It was nite time, and I shot Hiplop because one 1. I felt he was scum and 2. If I was wrong I was at least giving some info since everyone suspected him. Sadly the scumteam was Acosmist/Yates. I got a guilty on Yates (I was Lol'ing, didn't expect it) but let go Acosmist just cuz. My fault. Sorry town.
SMBM II: Defense of Yoshi's Island	Mafia Usurper	Bowser (CSL's Modding account)	[[13]]	Signed up	Eh. Not too proud of this. I was very busy with school and such, I replaced out later and realized Warrior mode won in my place. Nice job. I forgot why I signed up for this game, until now. Friend Parabollocks asked me to join.

Newbie 11 Mafia: KSSU	Even Night Cop	Gova	[23]	Signed up	I was put on the spot by X1 for asking for a 3-possible scum list on page 2, in RVS. I argued that I was only trying to get discussion underway, but I seemed scummy for that apparently. I was almost lynched (By Joey >_>) And I claimed cop. I wouldn't have been nk'd until the next night. I tried really hard the next day to try to find scum, didn't do so well. Turned out scum was my girlfriend and X1. >_>

Kitten Vs Domos	Vanilla Townie	Tandora	[26]	Signed up	I played well here. I was vt, Can haz Cheesburger cat. I played pretty risky here. I pretty much wagonged twice (wagoning is scummy on SWF), and had an argument with Joey, yet he was town. Anyways, after a while, I had Gord/J/Moth as scum, but then re-evaluated my J/Moth stances. Same with Joey. Caught both Gord and Swiss scum. I'm proud of this game, and love that it was small. And I could have been lynched d1, since I claimed vt hahaha. To be fair, both the scum were having difficulties accessing computers enough times, so I'd have to be careful when they have time to play. Town win. (Also, it seems I caught swiss scum with the wrong reasons lol)
Gurren Lagann Mafia	Town Strawberry	Kuz	[27]	Signed up	I hydrad with Red Ryu. We both did well, in drawing a nk since our posting restriction was so obvious. We were pretty brownie townie. Town won, only because the last mafia and indy cheated.
