Raskolnikov

Hey I'm Rask nice to meet you!

Style

I like playing town and my favourite part of the game is trying to read people and their motivations. I love it when I can go really in depth trying to figure someone out and sometimes I come away learning a bit about them! More than directly scumreading people I try to find town and then PoE the scum, along with ruling out partner associations.

I get scumread a lot and have trouble with my appearance so I often play very reserved or defensive especially early game. I'm always indecisive and second guessing and I come off as self-conscious even as town.

Scum is too stressful for me to enjoy, playing PR is annoying because I have to worry even more about dying than usual, and I prefer games that are decided on raw scumhunting rather than PRs or weird setup mechanics.

Prefer to be a Pro-Town Player.

Stats

You're probably here to meta right? :p
Certain things are measured as gold-black, since green-red for non town-mafia values feels confusing. Gold-gray-black for good-neutral-bad, respectively.

Name / ID	Game Type	Role	Winners	Result	Comment
Mod	Time of Death	Fate	Outcome
Newbie 1712	Newbie	Town VT	Mafia	Loss	A tough loss. Didn't take day 1 seriously, which made BBT tunnel me for most of the remaining game up to 3p. D2 scumreads were on 1 scum 1 town but I ended up lynching my weaker scumread (on town) since nobody wanted to lynch the scum and the townie was 100% scumreading me and I feared would make a lylo unwinnable. D3 was really good since I lynched scum and finally started to figure the game out, but d4 I couldn't defend myself to conftown BBT vs the analytical scum in 3p and basically lost on the day 1 mishaps. Lesson learned is not to risk my appearance too hard on reaction tests, and not post strange theories which weird people out, even if it is technically telling the truth.

Mini 1796	Mini Normal	Town Cop	Mafia	Loss	Whoops. Mislynched drmyshotty d1 but to be fair he was refusing to work with anyone and self voting. Someone quickhammered and I cop'd then to find an inno, but I didn't defend him too much because I was worried I'd give myself away. I was unaware though scum had already rolecop'd me based on me crumbing day 1 and were committed to killing me by then anyways. My second cop would've been guilty but my reads were bad and I shouldn't have crumbed as I did, overall poor play from me here. Transcend as scum bussed his partners and kept JK alive in order to use 1-shot so very WP from him here. Dunnstral here was pretty impressive in his reads and d1 play getting the d1 nk, and the remaining town were decent enough to take it to 3p so I think it was an alright game.

Newbie 1714	Newbie	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Win	My first scum game as a halfway experienced player! I was really panicking here because Ranger was in the game as well as F-oh-x who I respected from seeing in his other newbie game, and beeboy in the SE slot. I was having panic attacks especially day 1 and even though I tried so hard to look town Beeboy suspected me, Ranger was paranoid and F-oh-x was worried as well. It was terrifying and on top of it my partner had flaked. Luckily for me town misplayed hard, someone quickhammering d1 ending it early and letting me kill Ranger to give me some breathing room. D2 my new partner Mhssmith showed up who's a pretty cool guy and good enough at the game to be townread by all. We return lynched the quickhammerer d2, killed F-oh-x who was Cop and made it to 5p lylo with only beeboy really scumreading me, Zyf was a very active newbie who obvtowned to everyone, who I buddied all game and sickofit was the third town I also buddied though he was scumread by the other two. The game was decided there as even if I was lynched sick would've been the return partner (mis)lynch, or sick would have been the lynch, but how it ended was I pushed 1v1 with beeboy and sick voted there, and if not for that I think zyf may have been convinced to vote beeboy over me as a sick partner as well. Feel bad for winning this based on that quickhammer and return lynch.

641:Carbon14	Open	Town VT	Town	Win	This game was really weird. Town gutread each other from rvs before scum even started posting and we were talking townblocks and PoEing scum incredibly early. Not_Mafia was very scummy but claimed Cop so people ended up lynching my good townread S_S, even though I really wanted the Not_Mafia or Ranger lynch. Day 2 Not_Mafia got lynched because the real cop got nightkilled, and Day 3 Ranger essentially scumclaimed to me by claiming VT. It made her confscum to me and made Transcend as seer the confirmed town, and he strong townread me as well so it was a quick win there. Very weird game from all the gut and emotion reads and "trust" as opposed to normal casing and logic I see but it was fun in the end. Reads were decent as I scumread both scum d1 although I also scumread the cop there as my third, but good play from Creature and Transcend and Ranger losing motivation early made the win easy in the end.

Mini 1762	Mini Normal	Town VT	Town	Win	Oh boy. This game started early february and dragged on and on to finally end in may. I had started and finished literally 6 games in the span of playing this one and no joke changed as a player over the course of this game just on those lessons learned. Started day 1 still a newbie and by the end I was semi-experienced, and hilariously people replacing in scumread thet massive difference in play and I couldn't really explain it. Day 1 stretched to no-lynch because people were indecisive and due to scum influence; I had scumread BBT here unfortunately, he got vig'd by 1S vig to essentially replace the d1 lynch. Day 2 stretched out due to replacements and the mod flaking, I messed up and mislynched beeboy who was town. Day 3 I was finally scumreading the scum, mainly syndesis but also golden robster. I was convinced on syn scum but a bit unsure on GR and the possibility it was townGR vs scumSyn. GR was the lynch d3 but it didn't erase my syn scumread, RC pointed out it was likely bussing and I held onto my syn scumread for the rest of the game despite their exchange convincing most. Around day 4 more replacements made the day longer, but actually saved the game since the townies replacing out were scumreading me. I couldn't convince town to lynch syndesis here despite all my efforts, but at least I got the lynch off of me, though sadly it was between me and my townread kirroha so I had to hammer town to save myself. I had to convince MoI of me being town here which was really hard since he was very stubborn and this was a near loss, thankfully GiF at least townread me and saved my life there. Day 5 3p lylo I managed to convince MoI and finally get the syndesis lynch, which won the game since last scum was traitor. A very gruelling but satisfying win in the end. Props to RC GiF and titus as well as MoI for finally changing his mind and Metrion for backup modding, this came very close to being abandoned. Replacements total 7 if I counted that right, what a marathon this was! On a more somber note I hope TheCow our original mod isn't dead since he flaked out while sick and hasn't siteposted since.

639:C9++	Open	Town 1sDoc	Town	Win	Townread BBT day 1 and agreed with his dave read, but switched to wagon charl to try to get some information out of him. Unfortunately town-charl self quickhammered and ended the day early and me + BBT then got killed n1 by Sk and maf respectively. Town pulled it off in the end with really good clutch play so WP to them, and though I didn't have much impact this game because of how the day ended so fast my reads were at least decent.

1698:Myst.of Hist.	Newbie	Town VT	Town	Win	Looked forward to playing with nacho again, though he was scum here. Scumteam replaced out and we ended up mislynching day 1, but caught the scumteam next day. Lynched one d2 and cop guilty ended d3 fast for the win. First game with JaeReed who was super obvtown and fun to play with.

1766:SCP Mafia	Mini Normal	Town RB	Mafia	Loss	Zzzzz I wrote off scum based on faulty setup-spec. My thinking was scum PGO wouldn't exist as it'd be really strong and also I couldn't find an instance of it in any other games despite looking really hard for one. But day 1-only PGO makes sense from a balance perspective and writing off unconventional things from a role madness game was really dumb as well. At the very least I scumread the other two scum of kelbris/flubbernugget, but still I want to forget this game ever happened.

1767:Hung. Notak 2	Newbie	Town VT	Town	Win	Misread and mislynched fragger day 1, my other scumread was on scum occ/qubixes at least and I questioned the townread people had on 2nd scum Io. I was then killed night 1 despite being a potential mislynch, town then lynched scum d2 and got a cop guilty d3 for the win. I don't think scum played that badly but cop just makes games swingy I guess. Enjoyed playing with nachomamma here, he taught everyone quite a lot.

1767:In. Un. Guilty	Mini Normal	Town Mason	Town	Win	Was mason with 2 others, I sheeped mason buddies + townreads onto scum for day 1 lynch and got killed. Was busy at the time so getting killed was actually a huge relief here, and there was a universal backup too. I think the setup was town sided with 3mason+UBP, and town did end up steamrolling. My part in this win was pretty minor but at least my reads were decent.
Ranger	05/03/2016	Killed Night 1	Complete Stomp
1685:Code Noir	Newbie	Town VT	Mafia	Loss	I scumread the tracker for lack of scumhunting and my reads in general were terrible here. After a mislynch day 1, I quickhammered transcend day 2 which was horrible. Day 3 lylo I would have been lynched if not for the tracker finding scum, and on day 4 3p the claims made me conftown. I screwed up again in my 3p lylo choice and mislynched alexcellent for the loss, I should have townread him but I was too paranoid of his experience as a player. Aside from me pretty much single-handedly losing it for town it was at least an enjoyable game up until then, and the players were pretty nice despite what happened.

567:KidsW/Guns	Mini Theme	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Loss	My fourth mafia game. Was semi-scummy but not really a lynch option for most of the day. What happened was my partner Kublai Khan got heavily wagoned as suicide-bomber and I tried to save him because I didn't want to lose him that early. Because he was busy IRL he couldn't defend himself though so he just exploded. People then found the association bad with me, and I was incredibly demotivated from losing my partner that fast so I was lynched day 1 in the end, as the suicide didn't even end the day.

1747:Cinn. Roll Mafia	Mini Normal	Town VT	Mafia	Loss	My only replace so far, I replaced into this game towards the end of day 2, and diverted the lynch from scum iraonvp onto town. I hard townread that scum and my reads were pretty bad, and I was mislynched the following day based on me being a bit all over the place and my previous slot owner opposing the day 1 lynch which was on scum. Aside from my reads being bad, I noticed I never saw the game the same way as others; I wasn't there for most of d1/2 and I found it really hard to go through and read all the pages at the time. Probably would enjoy being a replacement now a bit more but as a newbie it was a bad idea imo. After my mislynch town still had a chance because of cop, but he investigated godfather heading into 5p lylo which sealed the deal. In terms of day-play mafia won comfortably though and I think a comeback via cop would've been pretty cheap anyways.

Mini 1755	Mini Normal	Mafia Neapolitan	Mafia	Win	My third mafia game. Was pretty scummy yet again and lynched day 1. Here at least a few people townread me or were undecided, if I had played slightly better I'd probably have avoided day 1 lynch. On the bright side I really defended performer before I got lynched leading people to wagon him next day since they thought he was my partner. UTL my real partner was heavily scumread at the time too so Massive, our other partner had to hammer performer there to buy UTL another day which was pretty sick. In the end Massive managed to avoid lynch even after UTL flip (which made the performer hammer look so much worse) and carried the game for scum. Don't really deserve this win at all, though again rolling scum this much as newbie really sucked.
Dierfire	21/01/2016	Lynched Day 1	Close Game
1752:Back to Dec	Mini Normal	Town BG	Town	Win	My first win, and I thought it was actually a good game from myself as well. Day 1 I scumread AJ and joined the wagon on him until he claimed doctor; at the time I didn't know bg-doc was an impossible combination so I wasn't aware it was a scumclaim, but I still scumread him and thought the way he claimed was fake AF. Town then went to wagon Llama but he was one of my strong townreads, so I tried my best to protest and divert that onto a common scumread of town and one of my side scumreads, TKoE, who was the other scum. With him lynched, over-night I remembered again I was BG and thought about why BG-doc wouldn't exist, so I outed and counterclaimed him next day. A lot of people still scumread me there and my night action was questionable (bg'd AJ just in case) but it was a quick lynch on him and pretty easy town win altogether. Hilariously me and most others (not llama though) thought there was a third scum given the size of the playerlist so we chased non-existent associations for most of day 2, overall I thought it might have been a bit T-sided and I assumed for most of the game it was 3/11 scum with heavy town PRs to compensate (would have made sense with the night start too). Enjoyed playing with these folks even if a few of them tunnelled me the entire game.

1753:League Maf UP	Mini Theme	Mafia Immunizer	Town	Loss	My second mafia game. Was obvscum again, ABR caught me here. Lynched day 1 with partners following next day/night in a total town steamroll. Similar situation as 565 with my play here, except I was ok earlyday when I then 180'd on ABR it was in a way which was scumclaiming to him and that got me wagoned. At the very least a few people had townread me here, but my ultimate mistake was falling for a fakehammer. If I had noticed it was a fakehammer and acted towny there there was a chance I'd have survived, but I thought it was real and gave a scum-apathetic reaction which people hammered on.
Dramonic	17/01/2016	Lynched Day 1	Complete Stomp
565:TWD ep.1	Micro	Mafia RBer	Town	Loss	My first mafia game. Was obvscum, BBT caught me. Lynched day 1 with partner following next day. Trying to pretend to be town with almost no actual town experience is really hard; and due to the quirks of how newbie queue work I couldn't play another newbie until I had a finished non-newbie game, so it was newb-obv-scum me vs a slew of experienced players here.
Radja	13/01/2016	Lynched Day 1	Complete Stomp
Newbie 1671	Newbie	Town Cop	Mafia	Loss	My second game, my first "real" game since the other ended before I could really play. Found myself in a few TvTs and unintentionally softed PR to avoid being lynched. Scum avoided attention day 1 because of the both slots inactivity/replacing out and I got killed for my PR softing. After another mislynch on Sarg who I and others had misread, scum then won the 5p lylo because town lynched kuroi despite him having played very town and even doing a major townslip day 1. Main mistake this game was not knowing how to judge replacements and activity when I'm reading someone, and I ended up townreading scum on bad reasoning. Secondary mistake was PR softing, although without it people may not have backed off and I might have been forced to hardclaim anyways.
Jackal711	05/01/2016	Killed Night 1	Complete Stomp
1670:Mutts Mafia	Newbie	Town VT	Mafia	Loss	My first game. I attempted to reaction test but it backfired horribly and I got lynched literally hours into the game starting. Scum hammered but played it off as a newbie mistake, and killed cop night 1. Despite a day 2 lynch on scum the game wasn't at all close, since Dewy, who hammered me, was heavily townread.
Fferyllt	11/12/2015	Lynched Day 1	Stomp

In terms of fate, surviving is measured as good as either alignment. NK's are judged neutral as are later-game deaths including being endgame; technically this isn't that accurate since VT fake crumbing pr and getting NK'd is arguably good and PR getting killed night 1 is pretty bad, but this is more about day survivability anyways.

mhsmith0: Smith says hello! R: Thanks for replacing in when you did, it was kind of rough playing that solo. Hope we get a town game sometime!
