Personal Facts:

I'm deaf. I attend Gallaudet University. I love reading and Magic: The Gathering (That's why NicolBolas is my username). I'm a wrestler, and a good one at that. I have a 94-28 career record in folkstyle, and I'm 0-3 in freestyle. Yeah, I need to work on my freestyle more.

READS ON PEOPLE:

I ask questions and go gung-ho on people I find scummy. I trust my gut a lot. My belief of the proper usage of votes is that votes should be pointed at people you would like to lynch at that point of the game. I do not use FoS, because a vote is better than a FoS.

Comments:

My random thoughts:

Marathon games are chaotic, but they are a surprisingly efficient way to learn how to play many different roles. BUT- if you play in too many, you burn out and lose motivation.

Always follow your gut. If you have doubts about a claimed player- LYNCHLYNCH. Don't let him go just because you cannot find anything wrong with the claim.

Marathon Modding

3 Player b-mod

Roles: 2 vanilla townies and a lyncher whose target was the mod

Winner: Gandalf5166 who managed to convince the town I was scum.

Notes: Quite humorous to watch happening. The town lost if the lyncher succeeded.

Date: Aug 11

NicolMafia 7 players

Roles: 6 vanilla townies and 1 suicidal cultist that passed his role to other players upon suicide

Winner: The Doomed Cult (MagnaofIllusion, Krieger, NETLAVA, and mallowgeno)

Notes: My effort at creating a fixed cult. It did not work at all. The game was a failure.
