Played some face-to-face mafia once upon a time, but current interest in the game was prompted by the Straight Dope Message Board

Joined Mafiascum mid July-ish of 2007.

Current playstyle is "survivor": attempting to stay in the middle of suspicion lists as to not be lynched during the Day or killed at Night. The effectiveness of this tactic remains to be seen.

Playing Record

Current

• None, taking a break while my offline games finish.

Finished/Dead

• Newbie 461 - Endgamed when the Doctor self-hammered (i.e. town loss).
• Newbie 420 - Citizen, lynched on Day 2 for town loss. First game on the forum, still learning the ropes and way too anxious to play in a smart way.

Game Setups

Role PMS:

killing ur doods
([scumbuddies], you are goons. Each Night, you may discuss strategy and send in the name of the player you wish to kill; the one sending the PM counts as the one making the kill. During the Day, you may not PM each other. You win when your numbers are in the majority, or nothing can prevent the same.)

invisible steamroller
(You are the Roleblocker. Each Night, you may send the name of a player to stop their Night action, if they have one. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.)

Modding Record

Current

• Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Finished

• LOLCATS Mini Mafia - Finished, Dusk of Day 5; Town Victory.
  • First official attempt at modding; in retrospect, I should have deadlined the game from the beginning, because I ended up modkilling two of the players for inactivity.
  • Deaths, in order: Vanilla (Day 1 modkill), Cop (Night 1 mafia kill), Goon (Day 2 lynch), 2 Vanilla (Night 2 mafia kill + modkill), Goon (Day 3 lynch), Vanilla (Day 4 lynch), Goon (Day 5 lynch).
• Three Handed Mafia (Open Speed Game, 2 Vanilla 1 Scum)
  • Played once as Town, endgamed when the other two players voted for each other and I chose wrong
  • So far I've modded twice: "Attack of the Clones" and "Survival: Andes Edition"

Off-Site Playing Record

Finished/Dead

• Blade Runner (Closed Theme Game, Day Start)) - Finished, Dusk of Day 9; survived and won with the Replicants (i.e. Mafia) when the confirmed Mason voted to lynch the remaining Vanilla.
  • Final role: Nexus-9 - Variant Godfather: would investigate as Innocent until activated, in exchange for not knowing who my fellow Mafiates were before then. Once activated, would be guaranteed to succeed at Night Kills. Also had a one-shot investigation ability that would either discover the rolename of a player (if Town) or cause activation (if Scum).
• Mafia: The Conspiracy (Semi-Open No Vanilla Game, Day Start, Delayed Reveal) - Finished, Dusk of Day 7; survived and won with the Town when we lynched the Necromancer and the remaining Wolves conceded the game.
  • Replaced in on Day 3 for MadtheSwine
  • Claimed Vicar on Day 5
  • Final role: Franciscan Vicar - Each Day, I can choose to bless a currently dead player or the Day's lynch victim; a blessed Corpse will not be converted to a Zombie by the Necromancer, nor would they be cursed by Wolves or the Vampire, but my blessing fails if my target was also blessed by the Witchdoctor.
• Firefly (Closed Theme Game, Cop Headstart) - Finished, Dusk of Day Seven; survived and won with the Town.
  • Citizen, subbed in for zuma Day 1, lynched Day 1 "for information" because my name claim, Ramiro, apparently did not exist in the Firefly universe and enough people found me scummy to test said claim. Suckiest way to go ever.
  • Jubal Early, Limited Rolename Investigator, subbed in for CaerieD Night 1, lynched Day 5 because people were not satisfied with my rolename when I was trying to reveal information to the town without giving too much away to the scum. Yeah. Death by irony again, sigh.
  • Replaced in again on Day 6 for MadtheSwine as a Mason (final role).
• Asylum Lane (Open Game, Day Start) - Citizen, lynched on Day 5 due to careless posting; fortunately, the rest of the town was able to find scum anyway and won the game.
