'''<div style="color:#FFA343">~*calypso feverdreams*~</div><div>'''


Hello, my name is Taryn. You've followed this link because you're obviously interested in me, or my completed games, but for my ego's sake, lets just say it was me specifically. I play mafia because I want to get better at lying and arguing with people. I only have enough time to properly play one or two games at a time, and recently I made my family play mafia in real life with me - they were rubbish. When I have a lot of money, I will build a mafia arena in my yard and host international standard face-to-face games.


''thick air, damp. 33 degrees.''


Here is a list of likes and dislikes - you have to figure out which is which:


- citrus fruits<br />
i am ruminating on the acerbic nature of a pineapple from a hammock. it appears we are alike in spirit. the piercing aftertaste; stringy, imperceptible fibres. yet a beacon of surprise and celebration.
- dancing<br />
- homophobia<br />
- rain<br />
- mud<br />
- blood<br />
- needles<br />
- altered sensory experiences<br />
- sleeping<br />
- octopuses<br />
- jazz<br />
- being touched<br />
- loud noises<br />
- hip bones<br />
- cotton

who doesn't love a surprise – it is afterall the best emotion.


sweet & sour, a mouthwash of paradox; gargled lovingly by an absurdist gullet just thankful to be nourished at all. imagine a pineappple trying to blend in amongst apples and oranges. what is the point? be a pineapple. let your prickles fester, your wild hair bloom, and offer fully the delicious nectar to those who persist with your fickle exterior.

The slot I inherited didn't come under much scrutiny despite being a heavy lurker early and offering nothing posts. I set Magpie up to be mislynched on D3, who had been tunneling quite hard on Erratus Apathos. Once he flipped town I used his case against EA in lylo which almost backfired. This was my first game as scum, and I was super nervous.

I investigated a scumbag (makemeameteor) on N1, and thought I would attempt to catch out the second one by lying about my result. I claimed to get a guilty result on MafiaSSK who I was harbouring suspicion for (little did I know he is a reknowned lurker). If he was in fact mafia, I presumed he would counterclaim me, thus revealing himself as mafia. If he didn't then he was town, and I would confess my true result and accept being lynched for lying, which would then psuedo-confirm MafiaSSK and incriminate makemeameteor. The funny bit was, MafiaSSK lurked for the next 5 days and over9000_ for some reason claimed cop, revealing himself as the second mafioso. I then revealed my plan to a sceptical town, and eventually had makemeameteor lynched, as well as over9000_. A win is a win though!

Despite the lurking from both IC's of this game, the town won quite easily with some quality play by Spolium and Fenchurch who I really wish to play with again one day.

I was a cop this game again, and was lynched out of fear I was fakeclaiming when I claimed on D3 with two innocents. We were in lylo, and it was deemed an opportunistic move, despite lynching me being a sub-optimal choice for the town. The scum played this one well though.

Some clever bussing by Knight of Cydonia kept the last scum, Simpor, alive for long enough for me lose the game for the town. On D4 with 6 players alive, a nearly confirmed vig, and me confirmed as town, I basically forced everyone to follow my plan, where I'd set up the next 3 kills. It didn't work, needless to say!

What rubbish. To be fair, the scum played quite well this game, and I happily admit to having the wool pulled over my eyes. I think I need to spend a little bit more thinking time in lylo from now on.

The town really got a little too preoccupied with the set-up possibilities more so than actual scumhunting, which perhaps hurt us, particularly when it turned out we were completely wrong (in fairness the mafia were quite overpowered, which screwed up assumptions based on balance). I don't think I gave this game my all unfortunately, as I had a few real life interferences, which subsequently saw me lynched on D4 and lost us the game.

I suppose some of it is my fault, but there was quite a bit of lurkiness. My D1 case on a town player (kravhen) was stellar, and about as good as I've ever made for a D1 case. It's a shame it was completely wrong - it just goes to show town contradict themself sometimes too. I had fun though!

It was very mentally draining, but this is probably the game I am most proud of my play (despite losing). After some heavy bussing by myself and my other partner (cyberbob), we went mostly undetected until the fourth day, where our entire game just fell apart after we botched our fakeclaims during massclaim. It was probably that event that cost us the win, which was pretty crushing after putting in so much effort. So much effort unravelled by one piece of play. Oh well, a big lesson was learnt. This was a really fun game though, with active, and clever players. I'd love to play with them all again.

But with the double kills each night, I claimed vigilante (which I'm still unsure if I should have), and was subsequently lynched out of fear I was an SK. The Marshall (Vaya), ran away with the win after some odd town play at the end. I'd love to see another stratego game run some time, so if you make one, tell me please.

The amount of lurking by some, replacements and quote pyramids from BM was frustrating - not to mention basic modding errors from MafiaSSK who bungled my protection on an outed cop. This game also had two scum teams, which means balance already depends on cross-kills. We didn't get one until N5 which was tough for the town, but I was long dead since then so it was okay by me. It was almost enough to turn me off the larger games due to the length and amount of replacements needed.

They were post-based which acted as a demotivation for town to post, and eventually spiralled into bad lurking and massive wall-posts. It wasn't fun, and fortunately, my buddy ortolan carried the hydra for the second half of this game. It felt very difficult to win too, with 2 SK's and another mafia team to contend with. We lost our partner to an errant SK kill and had no chance from then on. Interesting concept though, from Adel.
