Game Commentary

Newbie 1617: Sunhead Mafia

Modded by Cheery Dog

Town Jailkeeper - Killed Night 1 - Mafia Win - Keychain Loss

I was super transparent newbie town, and unfortunately got killed on the very first night. Perfect mafia win, I didn't call either of them through the entire thing (except for a draft I never posted, I have since discovered) but I did fight for the lynchbait townie who ended up getting mislynched D1 anyway. Played all right but apparently was easy to push around by scum.

~2 year hiatus~

I stopped playing. Then I came back.

Vanilla Townie - Killed Night 2 - Mafia Win - Keychain Loss

I eventually managed to pick the right side in the explosive 1v1 that happened D2 between Prism and RadiantCowbells, though I didn't push it as hard as I should have and the wrong lynch went through when Prism gave up and selfhammered. I got killed N2 and scum pulled off a perfect win in LyLo. I really enjoyed this one!

Mafia Encryptor - Replaced Out - Town Win

First scum roll. I couldn't cope with the activity level. I was replaced by Vedith, who was replaced by ThinkBig.

Micro 735: Greater Idea

Modded by Nexus

Town Nurse - Endgamed Day 2 - Werewolf Win - Keychain Loss

Five town, two werewolves, one alien and one mafia. Srceenplay's dayvig D1 was the best thing ever, my relentless tunnel on one of my two remaining teammates D2... eh, not so much. Like it was actually half and half town and scum factions, I had a better chance of hitting scum than town considering my own alignment, and I still went wrong.

Mafia Goon - Lynched Day 2 - Mafia Win - Keychain Win

First game as scum! First win! The excitement is real! Got totally screwed by Prism meta reading the hell out of me, but Vic Sage (Jingle) won it for us. I'm happy with NKing the cop who was fakeclaiming BP, and I'm pretty happy I didn't leave too many tracks back to Jingle. But otherwise this was pretty cringe. I made a couple posts that were not much better than outright scumclaims, and I pretty much flailed the whole way through.

(I support daytalk for newbie scum. Having two partners flake and being unable to talk to them was an unnecessary added difficulty to my first scum game considering how common daytalk is on the site.)

Mini 1930: Titus's Old Music Playlist Mafia

Modded by Titus

Mafia Watcher/Tracker - Vigged Night 4 - Town Win - Keychain Loss

I played this game as hydra Penn and Teller with NotTheRealPaul.

This game got pretty bad at points - apathetic town, mod errors and busyness, and angleshooting and accusations of cheating. But the scum daytalk made up for all of that in enjoyment. There was witchcraft.

This was my first mini, and it took a while to get a handle on it. We managed to get mostly townread early, but over time town roleclaiming had us pretty much confirmed as scum through PoE by MyLo, and yet we still managed to lynch a lurker instead and got vigged that night. Town finally their got their heads on the right way round and won 3P LyLo in a few hours. I am panicky scum, confirmed - thank god Zachstralkita had a level head.

Micro 737: Chosen Mafia

Mafia Goon - Survived to Endgame - Mafia Win - Keychain Win

In my opinion this has been my best played game so far, and it was a great setup. I really improved from Dystopia.

This was the first game as scum that I didn't feel crazily out of my depth, so I was actually able to try things a bit more deliberately like pocketing, assessing townies for how easily I could manipulate them and how much of a danger they posed, planning in advance and other things. Setup meant that I could focus on players instead of PRs, and having Chosen townies that I needed to lynch meant that I had an agenda to pursue rather than just "don't get lynched".

It was huge fun! Lovely group of people as well. Dunnstral gets special mention for posting almost exclusively in pictures. It was beautiful.

Mafia Goon - Lynched Day 4 - Town Win - Keychain Loss

This game went very badly for us. The setup was breakable (but town didn't break it so yay), but we made a very bad N1 kill choice based on a hider crumb that didn't pan out due to the switch mechanic, a member of our team scumslipped an intended PM to the mod and got quicklynched D3, we made some crucial mistakes on D4, and basically town deserved this win! They played well.

It was fun though, mostly. A supportive team is always great, and in general the game was pretty friendly and the town was on to it. I found my reads tend to crystallise as scum and don't really adapt, something I'll have to try and work on. I also learnt never to trust town to believe a hider guilty, no matter how obvious the crumb.

Corner of Inspiration

This is my wiki page where I can do what I want, so I'm going to use this section to collect quotes of nice or useful things people have said about/to me. To inspire me and keep me buoyed up when I get demoralised.

Plus links to posts I want to keep for reference.

Quotes

Newbie 1617: Sunhead Mafia

"Keychain - this is a difficult slot to assess. She is clear headed and knows what's up.

...

She is a 'weak' player (in a figurative sense, in that she is easy to push around), but a kill on her might not be bad."

- DrDolittle

"Keychain, being town means many a times you'll be wrong."

- YurikoJasmine

Newbie 1805: Emperor

"Keychain was great. She tried her best. She tried her best to get the right answer. She tried her best to care. Town MVP."

- Prism

"I agree! You were scary. There was a reason I tried to buddy you right away :P"

- RadiantCowbells

"keychain mostly do the same thing except with better read accuracy"

- acidphoenix

Newbie 1808: Dystopia!

"Keychain is really obvious town and their scumgame is on a completely different level lol (in a bad way)"

- Mulch

"Yeah, you did fine. You'll get much better in time. I thought you were very good and at least could bullshit reasoning better than most newbie scum."

- Mulch

"Keychain is the type of player that is going to respond to and encourage everyone."

- Prism

"Key? Cause I see a lot of potential in her and like her playstyle. I'm genuinely interested in seeing how she grows as a player and am always happy to watch the newbies blossom like that."

- Jingle

Mini 1930: Titus's Old Music Playlist Mafia

"Activate your super duper duper towniness, Keychain. Don't forget you guys pocketed Famethyst. I'm working on processes in the spirit world to haunt NTRP with the ghost of Boonskiies."

- Zachstralkita

"Keychain is doing good. We're okay."

- Zachstralkita

Micro 737: Chosen Mafia

"Special congrats to Keychain for her come-from-behind victory!"

- Umlaut

"In general, you've been well reasoned which is why I've wanted to townread you, but now I think you are just good at that"

- tman2nd

"You did a good job of sounding reasonable and townlike."

- tman2nd

Mini 1942: Switchboard 2

"If she is town, and she can point herself in the right direction, she'll be great. She really has potential. If she's scum, I think we'll see it fairly soon."

- Chickadee

"I do feel bad for the scumteam. When I read the setup closely, I initially thought I was missing something because six PRs in a game with a completely open setup was ridiculously townsided. Not to mention the Flubber's scumslip in thread made it impossible to come back from. Really impressed that they continued fighting against impossible odds. I honestly thought there was going to be a lot of complaining in the scum thread but then I saw none of that and just being supportive."

- BlackVoid

"I thought Keychain was very convincing and would have been very hard to catch if not for being in a cc with Creature. IAI was fantastic, left me unsure even when the evidence was stacking up. Way too many scum players tend to just get toxic and pass it off as good scumplay so it was great to watch real good scumplay for once. I think both of you would have easily endgamed in a more balanced setup with a similar playerlist."

- BlackVoid

"For once a decent town beat a decent scum team. IAI and Keychain were good, and Aubrey, Molligner, Blackvoid were excellent as town."

- mozamis

Not sure if the scum PT from Mini 1930 ever got released, so links there may not work.

Wiki Notes

These are notes for me for things to do here. I like this page and I want to look after it.

- Add links to my fate and the result of each game because interesting.

- Add links to quotes because sources are the best.

- Link player names to their MS profile instead of their wiki. There's an easy way to link to the wiki page but the actual utility of it is limited since a lot of wiki pages either don't exist or don't really contain anything. So go and add the URLs.

- Keep track of my avatars.
