I'm just this guy, you know?
Hey all, I'm Umlaut.


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.
My username is the same one I had on my old home site, where I first learned of Mafia in 2001 when [[mith]] introduced it there. I pretty much stopped playing when I stopped frequenting that site, and finally got around to joining MS.net in 2015 when I started missing the game. If you remember me from way back when, let me know!


I consider myself a better scum player than a town player, and my W:L record bears this out. I think this is 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.
I don't think I'm either an amazing or a terrible player, but I keep running into people saying I'm good (and usually scumreading me for it).


If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's that I have never once alt-slipped and, to my knowledge, no one has ever identified one of my alts. (If you think you have, message me.)

|notes=My reads were actually better than average, but I was never confident enough to push them hard, particularly when they went against town consensus. Being able to claim near the endgame should have been enough to give the town a path to victory, but somehow we decided to no-lynch in hopes of the scum killing one another. Instead they killed off the town for the draw.

I did ''almost'' wriggle out of the lynch, but to my surprise [[Hiraki]] had a change of heart at deadline. At least I didn't do anything to give up my teammates.

|notes=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.

|notes=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.

|notes=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.

|notes=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.

Once we lynched him, the Mafia was all but forced by the setup to stop shooting in order to have any hope of winning. [[Loopdan|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.

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.

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.

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.

|notes=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.

Prefer to be a Pro-Mafia Player. J promafia sign opt16.gif

Hey all, I'm Umlaut.

My username is the same one I had on my old home site, where I first learned of Mafia in 2001 when mith introduced it there. I pretty much stopped playing when I stopped frequenting that site, and finally got around to joining MS.net in 2015 when I started missing the game. If you remember me from way back when, let me know!

I don't think I'm either an amazing or a terrible player, but I keep running into people saying I'm good (and usually scumreading me for it).

My modded games

Mini 2156: Launch Mob

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Mini Normal 10 Day 4 Town
This is the simplest setup I've ever run except for maybe Mini 1922, and it went quite well. Kerset almost managed to carry the game solo after losing her partner on day 1, but in the end her PR claim was just not quite enough to keep her alive in lilo.

Newbie 2018: Ferrets

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Newbie 9 Day 2 Town
The Mafia was mechanically stomped. They lost their Roleblocker on Day 1, and their Goon was jailkept on Night 1. Better luck next time, newbscum!

Micro 948: Noughts and Crosses Blitz

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Micro 9 Night 2 Town
Mafia had all but lost mechanically after Dunnstral was the first one flipped, but really gave it their all and only threw in the towel after all avenues had been exhausted. Blair very nearly convinced an Innocent Child to lynch herself, which in my opinion is worth all the style points in the world.

Micro 818: Nano-Multiball

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Micro 5 Day 2 Werewolf
I really like this setup and I think it deserves more play to see how balanced it is in practice. In the end Giygas won the old-fashioned way, by out-towning the townies in lylo.

Micro 817: Umlaut's “The Micro Normal Queue Is Empty” Special

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Micro 9 Day 3 Mafia
Maybe someday I'll design a closed setup that will actually run as intended, as opposed to one side just mopping the floor with the other. This was not that day.

Newbie 1884: Expressionism

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Newbie 9 Day 4 Town

Mini 1922: Bondage & Discipline

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Mini Theme 13 Day 3 Mafia
Players had a finite number of posts available per day. I think this more or less worked as intended, and I don't believe it significantly hindered the town (the game went to final 3, and Vedith won by legitimately outplaying the town rather than by taking advantage of the mechanic somehow). I'm not sure if anyone would want to play it again though -- if nothing else, all-vanilla games are usually not that popular.

Micro 723: Untitled

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Micro 9 Day 3 Mafia
Yet another Mafia curb stomp, this time thanks to town quickhammering town on early day 1 leading to a policy lynch on day 2, followed by another townie claiming a role that was literally impossible in a normal game. The game ran less than a week.

Micro 695: Scumhunter's Speed 8p

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Micro 9 Day 3 Mafia
This was a slaughter. Day 1 ended on the first page when ThinkBig realized he had no reason not to quickhammer as scum in this setup, leaving the town with absolutely nothing to go on the next day. No one so much as voted for scum the entire game.

Micro 691: Just Mafia

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Micro 9 Day 2 Town
Town lynched the scum PR day 1 and then the jailkeeper successfully jailed the remaining goon overnight. Kind of a disappointing outcome after a full week spent tweaking the balance with the NRG.

Open 661: Pick Your Poison

Type Players Game ended on Winner(s)
Open 13 Day 5 Town
The Mafia had a rough start, with one of them being lynched Day 1 and confirmed town popping up at a dangerous rate, but culted managed to carry through to 3-player lylo and very nearly won the game.
