AurorusVox

AurorusVox is active on MafiaScum and EpicMafia. He doesn't quite know why he's talking in the third person, but let's just run with it. Oh, jeez, now he's talking in the second person plural. Abrupt narratorial shift to the second person singular: you can tell that you are with Vox by his vibrant LEMON avatar. It is by no way an orange. The Lemon represents a student satire magazine that Vox co-founded and edited, which in its first year won a national award, "Best Student Media 2010" (he very is proud of this fact).

AV is currently studying a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature, with special interest in innovative and experimental fiction and drama; post-structuralist discourse narratology; and obliterating the canon vs popular culture divide. He's currently working on his dissertation thesis, which is about the self-reflexivity of writer-reader relationships in the (contemporary) horror genre, with a focus on House of Leaves and The Shining. Yeah.

Next year AV is training to be an English teacher!

Quotes from my Scumgames

• "And here's the truth - if Aurorus is scum, you'll never get better than this. He's a smart player and won't make dumb mistakes."
• "you were so town it was unbelievable"
• "AV, I probably never would have suspected you. You are formidable, sir."
• "Just didn't figure on AV playing a blinder."
• "I just want him to post. If he's scum, he outplayed the fuck out of me and I won't get him lynched anyways."

Quotes from my Towngames

• "My vote is for the AurorusVox to die. He's an extremely competent player, he's logic-filled, he's painfully townie"
• "...It's things like this that are the reasons why you will die if I'm scum. =|"
• "The only person who truly seemed to have his head screwed on properly was AV." (lol)
• "Everything about the guy was screaming scum, and I stand by my desire to see him dead regardless of his flip." :'(

Mafia Games

Newbie Games

Newbie Game
Game	Moderator	Join Date	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Newbie 929	ShadowLurker	Original Player	Vanilla Townie	Town	Killed at Endgame	Lost
Comments: My first MS.net game. Had really good fun in this game and it enticed me to coming back for more! I had a suspicion on one of the mafia, but our game was trashed by a townie fake-claiming cop (his guilty report was on another townie). Lynch all liars ended the game with a mafia win.
Newbie 940	Vel-Rahn Koon	Original Player	Vanilla Townie	Town	NK'd N1	Lost
Comments: This game was over quite quickly for me, being killed early N1. Had a really good game and learnt a lot about scumhunting from Thor665; but in the end, the scum Nachomamma8 made a ballsy PR claim and it paid off. Vote Chart
Newbie 961	CSL	Replaced in D1	Vanilla Townie	Town	NK'd N2	Won
Comments: Alas, the scum seemed to give up in this game, though it was in the face of heavy evidence, collected and acted upon by a solid group of townies. Strangely, almost everyone was a replacement in this game!
Newbie 982: Shadows of Death	Haylen	Original Player	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: My first time as Mafia in a Newbie Game (my previous try was over quite quickly). Both my partners ooBAZZoo and Hinduragi played solidly, but I think I managed to keep suspicion off me very well throughout the entirety of the game. Despite shovel-loads of paranoia in the QT, there were no PRs in this game, but even if there had been, I think we'd still have won through. A great game. Vote Chart
Newbie 1022	Vel-Rahn Koon	Original Player	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: This time the glorious VasudeVa was my partner in crime, and a crime it was. A number of things went in our favour - such as town not PLing Shotty and a doctor self hammering D1 - but I think me and VV distanced from each other very well, and that again I came across as town. I think I was one of the only people to pick up the cop's crumbing, and swiftly killed him off that night. We quickhammered at LYLO, and it was good night town, good game mafia!

Mini 1146: Don't Get Slapped by a Fish	Chesskid3	Original Player	Roleblocker	Mafia	Lynched D3	Lost
Comments: Goddamn. We were doing really well right up until the end of D1, when a mad scramble for deadline wagons + not knowing what my buddy's role was = obvScumVox >_> The glorious VV knew I was scum anyway due to being a sexy beast, and RC fakeclaimed with finesse and class. This game had a lot of my favourite players in, though! :D

Open Games

Mini Normal Games
Game	Moderator	Join Date	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Open 230: Bird7	Phaen	Original Player	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: My very first scumgame was over quite quickly, after a fast hammer from my scumbuddy don_johnson and a believed fake-claim from him too. The victory hinged on the confirmed townie hammering the real cop (with a guilty report on me) because he believed I was town! Good times. Vote Chart
Open 231: My Name is Earl	Scott Brosius	Original Player	Vanilla Townie	Town	Lynched D2	Won
Comments: Though it was set up later than Bird7, this game actually began before it, making it my first non-newbie game. It wasn't what I was used to, and in the end I got myself lynched D2, ruining an otherwise flawless victory. But a good game nonetheless! Vote Chart
Open 246: Vengeance7	inHimshallibe	Original Player	Mafia Godfather	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: Whew! This game had a pretty shaky start with me putting someone at L-1 pretty much from the off-set, but after some stellar D1 confusion by my goon CSL, the remaining goon and I made the most of the situation and won through. Our victory was probably helped by a VI, but we nevertheless had a large part in the win!
Open 284: Tit for Tat	jmj3000	Original Player	Mafia Deputy	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: This victory was overshadowed a little by a very strict mod-kill and some pretty poor VI play by a townie, though it took us three days to get him lynched. No one really suspected us that much until later in the game, my partners especially were very good.

Mini Theme Games

Mini Theme Games
Game	Moderator	Join Date	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Mini Theme 1036: DEFCON Mafia	AlmasterGM	Original Player	Air-Base	NATO	Stealth Bombed N2	Lost
Comments: Mafia could not kill N1, but they killed me as soon as they could (QQ). I (perhaps controversially) chose a scum-suited ability to prevent scum getting their hands on it, confident in my ability to prove my innocence through discussion; not to mention that I was wary of being killed off early! But it made no impact on the game at all, and town eventually lost in 3-way LYLO :( Well played scum! Vote Chart
Mini Theme 1080: txtMafia	NobodySpecial	Original Player	Vigilante	Town	Killed at Endgame	Lost
Comments: I don't even want to think about this game any more. It was my first time as PR and I got roleblocked every single night. I played awfully. I got my reads wrong and looked scummy throughout. I think (or I hope) this was all because of the mod-imposed post restriction of 160-character limit to each post. I wall a lot so...but no excuses. We didn't even let the scum bus. Oh, god.
Mini Theme 1108: Mutiny on the High Seas	PranaDevil	Original Player	Mutineer Goon	Mutineer	Survived	Won
Comments: PIRATE THEMED! Yarr! I love pirates. This is probably one of the best and most enjoyable games that I've played as scum. I bussed my partner hardcore until his lynch D3, which was at the hands of my other partner's fake-claim. A townie followed us in LYLO and I hammered for a win. YARR!! Vote Chart
Mini Theme 1116: Literally Anything uPick	VasudeVa	Original Player	VasudeVa: Mafia JOAT	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: A game where the mod, the sexy VV, created a role based on whatever you decided to send in! I picked VausdeVa himself and went on to claw a scum win back from behind. It was an intentionally swingy game, with some confirmable townies that we didn't really kill off. Luckily one of my scumbuddies absorbed a vigilante role and that gained us the win.
Mini Theme 1127: Cults vs Masons	Kmd4390	Original Player	Vanilla Townie	Town	Killed N1	Won
Comments: Cults? Masons? VV? YES PLEASE. And then I got killed N1. Sadface.
Mini 1144: Advance Wars; Mafia Strikes	AlmasterGM	Original Player	Hachi	Ally	Killed D4	Draw
Comments: AGM invited me to this game. I've never played Advance Wars, but if it's an AGM game you know its guaranteed to be great. It took me a while but I finally used my power to discover that Fate was a dirty little liar. Despite this, he didn't get lynched and after I got killed, he had heaps of towncred from bussing his partners. It looked like we'd accidentally won - that town had hammered Fate unknowingly - but it turned out they'd hammered another townie beforehand. Game ended with a scorched earth draw. I got Town MVP for this at least <3
Mini 1150: There Goes the Neighbourhood	LynchMePls	Original Player	One-shot QT Position Bus Driver	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: A game with a wonderful QT mechanic. Each night, every player could talk to the people either side of them on the playerlist in private QTs. It was SUCH A GREAT ADDITION! And I used that to my wily advantage to get on the good side of my neighbours; towncred gained from bussing both my partners allowed me to see off two mislynches and clinch the victory! Give a guy his due, though; Nachomamma8 rode me HARD like a bitch and I was sure he was going to convince the others I was scum!
Mini 1158: A Gentleman's Game of Guile, Subterfuge, and Intrigue	Wraith	Replaced in D2	On-going Game	On-going Game	On-going Game	On-Going Game
Comments: The theme of this parlour-game is of a most Gentlemanly nature; as such, most player responded with a touch of class in their communications. I will delve into more detail once the shenanigans are overcome!
Mini 1172: Calculus Mafia	Parama	Original Player	On-going Game	On-going Game	On-going Game	On-Going Game
Comments: Crazy-mad lynch and kill mechanics, all based on calculus! More info post-game.

Large Theme Games

Large Theme: Gorrad's Favourite Fictional Characters Mafia	Gorrad	Original Player	Axel (VT)	Town	Mind Controlled N1	Won
Comments: I got killed off N1 after leading a lynch on a lying VI :( I didn't keep up with the chart after my death so here it is: Vote Chart I can't really claim any credit for this win lol. This was my first large game, and I think its the one where I kept track of all my reads the best. Ah the good old days.
Large Theme: Stars Aligned III	Percy	Original Player	Investigator	Town	Murdered N6	Won
Comments: Ah this game. An utterly fantastic setup, brilliant theme and excellently modded. I spent a lot of time doing mechanicsy things which was fun but I probably should have scum hunted more. I ended up dying to a town-kill to clear another person despite hardly anyone thinking I was actually scum. POE finally caught the last of the scum out. D1's VC: Vote Chart
Large Theme: SMBM: Invasion of Bowser's Castle	Bowser	Original Player	Smithy (Mafia Godfather)	Smithy Gang	Killed N1	Lost
Comments: My first Bastard-Mod game! I got killed N1 along with a whole bunch of other kills and modkills. We were down to 2/6 on our scumteam on D2 (two of us were killed, two of us were modkilled) and so predictably lost the game.
Large Theme: DEFCON Mafia 2.0	AlmasterGM	Original Player	Espionage	USSR	Nuked D4	Lost
Comments: From the ashes of DEFCON Mafia 1, was born DEFCON Mafia 2.0 - a reinvention of the first themed game with many more players and the promise of much more destruction. This was my first loss as scum QQ. Irritatingly, the reason I got caught was based quite a bit on some leaked QT messages dropped by one of my scum parters Fate. Damn those Yankee bastards!
Large Theme: Bomb Mafia	RedCoyote	Original Player	Terrorist Goon	Terrorist	Lynched D4	Lost
Comments: A game with a timebomb mechanic that RedCoyote personally invited me to :) Possibly the worst I've played as scum, I got caught out role-fishing, but still somehow managed to survive to LYLO. We almost won but my scumbuddy got caught in a snowstorm and couldn't get online - and so blew up from the bomb that I passed to him. Oops.
Large Theme: WWF Road to Wrestlemania	Locke Lamora	Original Player	Stone Cold Steve Austin	Million Dollar Corporation	Lynched D6	Lost
Comments: I swore to never play a large game again. But then I smelled what the Locke was cookin'. This was the most fun I've ever had losing a game. We got really unlucky with our first 2 NKs failed. The town were incredible in this game, though, and between failed fakeclaims, bodyguards and trackers, we were taken out piece by piece. Very well done town!
Large Theme: The Battle for Olympus	Charon	Original Player	Bastet	Egyptian	Lynched D2	On-Going Game
Comments: I hate large games. I'm noticing a pattern here. But I can't stop joining them! When Andrius invited me to this Greek god themed game I was over the moon...until I was hit by a string of inactivity, ended up getting on just enough to not get replaced, but then got a cop investigate to the face N1. -sigh-
Large Theme: DEFCON 3.0	AlmasterGM	Original Player	Missile Silo	American	Lynched D2	On-Going Game
Comments: I repeat. I hate large games. But when DEFCON 3.0 begins, there is NO WAY IN HELL I'm missing out. But then I got lynched before I could fire a nuke anyway. So I still have never fired a nuke in a DEFCON game, and this is a sad state of affairs indeed. More info post game.

Marathon Games

Marathon Games
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
5 Player Vengeful [2]	wickedestjr	Vanilla Townie	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: A quick marathon vengeful game, my first of both! First scum was lynched D1, then after a mislynch on D2 we were in 3 man lylo. The scum tried to get me to vote the other townie, who was suspicious of me, but I stuck to my guns and we ended up combining against him!
One Night at the Gentleman's Club 2	drmyshottyizsik	Groom	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: The setup for this game was kinda broken - or maybe we just got lucky. In any case, we won through massclaim on D2.
Blackest Night Marathon 2	danakillsu	Sinestro Mafia Roleblocker	Scum Faction A	Lynched D1	Lost
Comments: I got spanked by massclaim and lack of flavour knowledge D1 T_T
Fibonacci's Dream	Plum	Dreamer 0	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: My first Lucid Dreamer's game, I'm not sure I played particularly well. I could do global actions, but I'm pretty sure I chickened out and didn't do anything of the sort. We still won, though, due to mafia screwing up their massclaim.
Lucid Dreamer's XI	Charnel	Dreamer	Town	Killed at Endgame	Lost
Comments: The mod made a mistake and killed someone who shouldn't have died, but that's no excuse. At LYLO I WIFOM'd my way out of lynching the scum, and hammered a townie. Damn.
Lucid Dreamer's XI	CSL	Nightmare	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: This was reverse mafia, with more Nightmares than Dreamers, and I think it confused a few people (not least of all me). Anyway, the final scum also got confused and ended up clearing me by accident, which resulted in his lynching and our victory!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD	kiwieagle	Cop, Lover	Town	Super Sainted D3	Won
Comments: =3 I was Lovers with Lady LambdaDelta who was an SK, and we decided to try for a Lovers Happy Ending by killing all the town and leaving just the two of us alive. However, I hammered a Super Saint and we both died ;_; Still won with the town, though, but it was a bitter victory indeed~
Psychiatrist Mafia	Empking	Psychopath	Mafia, then Town	Lynched D2	Lost
Comments: >_> I broke this game D1 by getting my scumbuddy to out himself to me (I didn't know who he was N0). But I decided to do it the hard way anyway, and pretended to be town. I got converted to Town WinCon N1, and again, decided against the dick-move of outing my buddy straight away, and tried to convince the other player to vote the SK in LYLO. He voted me and the SK hammered me, so my morality lost this for the town. Ugh.
Dodgeball Mafia	shaft.ed	Andre the Arm	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: I literally have no idea what was going on in this game, I think I played really badly right up until LYLO. I didn't realise I was in a 1-on-1 with scum when I had a vig kill, so killed apparently obvTown Ooba instead by accident. But then I cleaned up my act for LYLO and we lynched scum for the win!
SleepyKrew's Marathon	SleepyKrew	Vanilla Townie	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: YES! Me and Charnel were on the same wavelength the entire game. It was incredibly freakish. I got paranoid that he was scum and HE got paranoid that I was scum, but we managed to WIFOM ourselves out of WIFOMing to a town loss by hammering the scum who cc'd his own partners fakeclaim. I am very proud of this game, even though its a marathon >_>
SS3	glowball	Super Saint	Town	Lynched D1	Lost
Comments: I had the perfect plan to not lose this game. But then Bowser quickhammered me as town for the loss (he got Sainted as town, oops)
Sleep Deprivation Mafia	xRECKONERx	Godfather	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: Haha, I quicklynched my partner D1 and played a pretty good town game to survive and convince the town to mislynch a number of times in a row. My victory was assisted by some unfortunate JK play framing one person and accidentally killing another, then we outed the SandMan (whose death killed basically everyone). If the Sandman hadn't given me "sleep" though, this would have been a scorched earth with no one winning. I had to kill LLD in this game :(
