Syryana

Hi! I'm Syryana, joined February 24, 2013.

I'm currently playing in Mini 1441, Mini 1431, Mini 1443, Micro 153, Open 490, Open 491 and Open 492.

Information

I originally encountered Mafia as a forum game on my old guild website. Though fun, it got old when the same 7-10 people played every single game and they all started making assumptions based on what we did in previous game. Excellent play (on both town and scum sides) was generally punished by an early lynch in the next game, so I went a-hunting for other places to play Mafia on a more regular basis. I came here.

I prefer being scum to town, since I like to know all and pretend I don't rather than quiver at night with a gun in my hand, but I can have a good time as a townie as well.

I do like to actively scumhunt though, and I'm not above hunting the wrong person to get reactions and/or fool the scum (and ofttimes town) as to what I'm about.

Completed Games

Open 481: Duck, Duck, Goose!
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Open	Lord Mhork	Mafia Goon	Started	Survived	Scum win
This was the second game I signed up for but the first to complete. This game was the Duck, Duck, Goose! format, which blew my mind when I saw it and I absolutely HAD to play it. I did a fairly decent job as scum, reading as town for most folks. We had only two players, since our third RachMarie afk'd out and didn't get replaced by Majiffy until Day 2. There was a spot of bother on Day 3, Klick managed to get me at L-1 in the space of six or so hours, but Wisdom came to my rescue. We managed to quickhammer fuzzybutternut because he started acting weird after my wagon disintegrated and we shot Limo that night for the win. Hardest part by far: Figuring out who to NK or even if we should NK. The winning scumteam was Syryana, JacobSavage, Majiffy.

Micro 134: F11
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Micro	Zachrulez	Doctor	Replaced RachMarie	Survived	Town win
This game was full of vets and verifiably insane. My slot was also pretty scummy; I was wondering who my partner was until I got the Doc role PM! They lynched the cop on Day 1, my play the next day was a careful attempt to appear just scummy enough to avoid a NK. I voted my lower suspect to generate reactions and to prevent the vets from abandoning my main scumread's wagon thanks to my noobery. I hammered the mafia RB on D2, saved Dazed and Confused from being killed at night, and we lynched the remaining goon D3. The winning town team was: Sotty7, jasonT1981, Dazed and Confused, Cogito Ergo Sum, and Syryana.

Newbie 1341
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Newbie	Nobody Special	Vanilla Townie	Started	Survived	Town win
This was really fun. I actually got VT for once, so I just went jolly gee willakers with it. Votes everywhere, scumhunting, sheeping the SE, fun times. I got into it D2 with two other townies; this was my first interaction with the universal scumread Ms Marangal <3. I hammered on D1 and D2, and it almost got me lynched at D3 mylo. Thanks to some valiant defense during D3, I convinced the other townies I was town and we lynched both scum on D3 and D4. Winning town was Syryana, Mathdino, MeowMix.

Open 483: Switch
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Open	Docteur Gudsight	Cop	Started	Nightkilled N1	Scum Win
I was the cop, game now finished. I was totally off on the scum until after I was dead. Nailed the SK, but that hurt more than helped us. Winning scumteam was Stringer Bell, Malakittens, DCLXVI.

Open 486: Pick Your Power X/Y
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Open	Edosurist	Jailkeeper	Started	Survived	Town Win
This game was a damn near perfect town win. I got first pick in the draft, picked JK. Helped lynch scum on Day 1 thanks to the replacement, Demon. He was too aggressive and generally scummy. My night action was useless; I got RB'd by scum. I knew I'd be either RB'd or killed since I was top pick on the draft. I actually preferred to lynch a townie over the final scum on the last day; the scum was my second pick. Happily nobody wanted to follow my lead, so we won. Kudos to Hoopla for shooting scum N1 as a 1-shot vig. Winning town was Syryana, JohnnyFarrar, fuzzybutternut, Whiskers, Kmd4390, zachattack, Hoopla, Human Destroyer, Salamence20, Siveure DtTrikyp.

Micro 152: Battlestar Galactica Mafia
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Micro	AngryPidgeon	Watcher	Started	Killed N2	Town Win
I was Galen Tyrol, the watcher. I watched who I suspected would be the NK on N1, turned out the NK was this totally random guy that I never expected! I got super paranoid about the role cop D2 and tried to push him; no dice. I did correctly intuit the other mobster pitoli though, so that's good. The role cop played very anti-town D2 to not get NK'd, while a good strat, it almost got me to vote for him. Right up until the flip I thought he was a mafia role-cop fakeclaiming a ninja-investigate on a Town-aligned player especially since I saw him visit that player at Night. It never occurred to me that he was a legit role cop that simply saw him (Ninja makes perfect sense in a Watcher game). Winning town was Syryana, orcinus_theoriginal, fferyllt, Lurker, Nero, SafetyDance, Malakittens.

Micro 153: Sherlock Holmes Mafia
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Micro	JasonWazza	1-shot Global Watcher	Started	Killed N1	Town Win
I was the Sherlock Holmes Prodigy, the 1-shot Global Watcher. Being the Prodigy was terrifying. I've never had a 1-shot role before and I was sure the mafia would RB me. Turns out the mafia didn't have an RB and an overreaction got me to L-1 on the first Day. Fortunately, I convinced the town to lynch someone else (a VT, but better a VT than a PR) and popped my power, knowing I'd be RB'd or killed since I'd softclaimed and mafia knew there was a prodigy. I died that night, but to my surprise there was a prodigy backup who got my result. They quicklynched a scum, RachMarie, mislynched the Doc but correctly killed thenewearth in LyLo. Winning town was Syryana, Seanald, pirate mollie, Ms Marangal, Blue Yoshi, sword_of_omens, goodmorning.

Mini 1431: The Tenements
Game Type	Modded by	Role	Entry	Status	Outcome
Mini Theme	4nxi3ty	Hathor Drone	Replaced Limo	Survived	Scum Win
This game was amazing. I replaced in early Day 1 for Limo, bussed one of my partners when it became apparent he was going to be lynched. Between the various one shot ability items created and the active lurking I was doing I managed to wreak a fair amount of havoc on the town. Also instrumental to the win was the no-reveal dayvig, who kindly roasted two townies for us. Came down to 3v2 LyLo, but a fortunate choice by the backup dayvig cost town the game. Winning scumteam was Syryana, Slandaar, gorckat.
