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's thought process and 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! I try to read people for towntells and in general find town, then PoE scum along with ruling out associations. I like mid-game the most because there's information to work with and less people to look at, but it isn't as stressful as lategame/lylo.

I get scumread a lot and have trouble with 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 which gets me wagoned a lot, so far I've never had a game where everyone townread me.

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

Prefer to be a Pro-Town Player.

Stats

You're probably here to meta right? :p
I use gold-gray-black for good-neutral-bad judgements to avoid confusion with town-mafia.

Name / ID	Game Type	Role	Winners	Result	Comment
Mod	Time of Death	Fate	Outcome
Newbie 1707	Newbie	Town BP	Town	Win	My reads were awful and of my 4 top scumreads, 2 we mislynched, 1 was nightkilled and 1 became conftown in 5p through PR claim. Just from making it to the 5p it became 2 scum in a pool of 3 so it was simple finally figuring it out there. After it was clear I scumread both scum, the scum Murph actually claimed BP in desperation and I had to CC. It was a close 1v1 and the gambit almost worked in convincing the others but we managed in the end. Well played to the JK kaladin and to the Murph/AlpacaAlpaca newbie scumteam for completely fooling us until lylo.

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 and though it wavered at points that scumread never went away. D2 my scumreads were on 1 scum 1 town but I ended up lynching my weaker scumread (on town) since nobody wanted to lynch the scum, I was being heavily pushed, and the townie was 100% scumreading me which I feared would make a lylo unwinnable in the event of the other lynch being wrong. D3 was really good since I lynched scum and managed to townread BBT, but d4 I couldn't defend myself to him in a 1v1 vs the scum in 3p and I basically lost from the day 1 mishaps. Lesson learned is not to risk my appearance too hard on reaction tests, and to be careful posting 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 him and I cop'd them to find an inno, but when they got wagoned I didn't defend him much out of self preservation. However, scum rolecop'd me based on a d1 crumb and were committed to killing me by then anyways. The game went on to scumTranscend bussing his partners and keeping JK alive in order to use his 1-shot strongman so very WP to him here. On the town side Dunnstral was pretty impressive d1 in his reads and obvtowning which made him the nk n1. Had I lived my second cop check would've been a guilty but my reads were still bad and I shouldn't have crumbed as I did, overall poor play from me here.

Newbie 1714	Newbie	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Win	My first scum game as a halfway experienced player! I was really panicking here from pre-game because Ranger was in the game as well as F-oh-x who I respected from seeing in his other newbie game, with Beeboy in the SE slot. I was having panic attacks d1 and even though I tried so hard to look town Beeboy suspected me, Ranger was paranoid about townreading me and F-oh-x was worried as well; it was like they all scumread me via gut but just didn't have the evidence to pursue it and were just waiting for me to give it, it was terrifying and on top of it my partner flaked early. Luckily for me town misplayed hard, someone quickhammering ended d1 early and let me kill Ranger which gave some breathing room. D2 my new partner Mhssmith showed up who's a pretty cool guy and played great, getting townread by everyone. 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, and sickofit was the third town I also buddied though he was scumread by town. The game was decided just from bringing these 3 into lylo. Alright play but the fact is most of the experienced players still scumread me, also feel bad for winning this based on that one person's quickhammer and return lynch.

641:Carbon14	Open	Town VT	Town	Win	Town gutread each other, especially Creature and Transcend, right 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 was nightkilled disproving his claim, and Day 3 Ranger essentially scumclaimed to me via VT claim. It made Transcend the confirmed town as seer, 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 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, plus Ranger losing motivation 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 to finally end in may. I had begun and finished 6 games in the span of playing this one and no joke changed as a player over the course of this game just on the lessons from the other games. D1 stretched to no-lynch because people were indecisive; I misread BBT here unfortunately and he got vig'd n1. D2 stretched out due to replacements and the mod flaking, I messed up and mislynched Beeboy who was town. D3 I was finally scumreading scum, mainly syndesis but also golden robster, convinced on syn scum but a bit unsure on GR and the possibility of it being townGR vs scumSyn. GR was the lynch d3 but it didn't erase my syn scumread, RC pointed out the likelihood of it being bussing and I held onto my syn scumread for the rest of the game despite their exchange having convinced most. Around d4 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, and it was between me and my townread kirroha so I had to hammer my townread to save myself. I had to convince MagnaofIllusion of me being town here which was really hard since he was very stubborn and this was a near loss, thankfully GiF defended and saved my life there. D5 3p lylo I finally convinced MoI and got the syndesis lynch, which won the game as last scum was traitor. A very gruelling but satisfying win in the end. Started day 1 still a newbie and by the end I was semi-experienced, I think it's cool you can actually see the progression because of how long this game was, and hilariously people replacing in scumread that difference from d1 to lylo and I couldn't explain it. Props to RC GiF and Titus as well as MoI for 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.

639:C9++	Open	Town 1sDoc	Town	Win	Townread BBT day 1 and agreed with his dave scumread, but switched to wagon charl later day to try to get some information. Unfortunately town-charl self quickhammered and ended the day early and me + BBT 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 overall.

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 I read the scumteam next day along with strong association between the two so that was it. Lynched one of them d2 and cop guilty on the other d3 ended the game fast for the win. Of note was JaeReed who drove the game in activity, was super obvtown and fun to play with.

1766:SCP Mafia	Mini Normal	Town RB	Mafia	Loss	Ouch. I wrote off scum based on faulty setup-spec. My thinking was scum PGO probably 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 and flubbernugget, but still I want to forget this game ever happened.

1767:Hung. Notak 2	Newbie	Town VT	Town	Win	Misread and mislynched fraggernaut day 1, my other scumread was on scum occidentalis(qubixes) at least, and I questioned the townread people had on 2nd scum Io. Was inexplicably killed n1 despite being a potential mislynch, town lynched scumread occ(qubxies) d2 though and got a guilty d3 for the win. Scum played alright and without cop guilty it'd have been closer. Really enjoyed playing with nachomamma8 here for the first time, he IC'd very well I felt like I learned a lot from him.

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 n1. 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 tracker for lack of scumhunting most of the game, and my reads in general were terrible here. After a ML day 1, I QH'd transcend day 2. Day 3 lylo I would have been lynched if not for the tracker finding scum. 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. Pretty much single-handedly lost this for town, at the very least d1 was fun and the playerlist was cool. Probably worst game yet but everyone was nice and didn't rub it in.
Cheery Dog	15/03/2016	Endgamed	Close Game
567:KidsW/Guns	Mini Theme	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Loss	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 wagoned as suicider and I tried to save him because I didn't want to lose him that early. Because he was very busy IRL he didn't have time to defend himself though and just exploded. People then found the association with me, and I was incredibly demotivated from losing my partner that fast and didn't put up much of a fight there. Despite how almost all of day had gone, I was lynched d1 in the end after the suicide.
Not_Mafia	29/01/2016	Lynched Day 1	Complete Stomp
1747:Cinn. Roll Mafia	Mini Normal	Town VT	Mafia	Loss	My only replace so far, couldn't get into the game as a replacement and my reads were horrendous. Probably would enjoy being a replacement now a bit more but as a newb it was a bad idea.
3dicerolling	27/01/2016	Lynched Day 3	Average
Mini 1755	Mini Normal	Mafia Neapolitan	Mafia	Win	Third mafia game, 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 hard defended performer before I got lynched leading people to wagon him next day as my "partner". Sick play from massive carried the game for us though, including the fast hammer on performer to buy our other partner another day alive. Don't really deserve this win at all, though again rolling scum this much as newb really sucked.

1752:Back to Dec	Mini Normal	Town BG	Town	Win	My first win, and the only game as a new player I did well in! Day 1 I scumread AJ and joined the wagon on him until he (fake)claimed doctor; at the time I didn't know bg-doc was an impossible combination so I wasn't aware it was a 100% scumclaim, but I still scumread him and thought the way he claimed was fake and pushed for his lynch anyways. Town went to wagon Llama but he was one of my strong townreads, so I tried my best to divert that onto a common scumread of town and one of my side scumreads, TKoE, who was the other scum. With him lynched, overnight I remembered I was BG and thought about why BG-doc wouldn't exist, so I outed/cc'd AJ next day. A lot of people still scumread me and my night action was questionable (bg'd AJ just in case I was wrong and he was doc) but it was a quick lynch there and pretty easy town win altogether. Enjoyed playing with these folks even if a few pushed me the entire game.

1753:League Maf UP	Mini Theme	Mafia Immunizer	Town	Loss	Second mafia game, obvscum again, ABR caught me here. Lynched day 1 with partners following in a total town steamroll. Similar situation as 565 with my play here, except I was ok early-day. Halfway through I 180'd on ABR in a way which essentially scumclaimed to him and that got me wagoned. At the very least a few people still townread me, what ultimately sealed the lynch was falling for a fakehammer. If I had noticed it was a fakehammer and tried to react towny instead of apathetic there potential to survive.
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 day 1. Trying to pretend to be town with almost no actual town experience was impossible for me. After the first 2 games I couldn't play more newbies until I SE qualified, and there's a string of games following where its newb-obv-scum me getting destroyed by experienced players, including this one.
Radja	13/01/2016	Lynched Day 1	Complete Stomp
Newbie 1671	Newbie	Town Cop	Mafia	Loss	First "real" game since the other one ended in hours. Found myself in a few TvTs, and unintentionally softed PR when I was wagoned. Had to hammer a townread to save myself, then got killed for the PR softing. The person I TvT'd was the next day mislynch and scum wrecked this. Main mistake this game was not knowing how to judge replacements and activity in I'm reading someone, and I ended up townreading both scum replacements. Secondary mistake was PR softing, although without it people may not have backed off.
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 n1. Despite a day scum 2 lynch the game wasn't at all close, since Dewy, who hammered me, was heavily townread.

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!
