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.

My play varies a lot which gets me scumread a fair bit and I often play reserved or defensive especially earlygame. I'm often indecisive and second guessing and I come off as self-conscious even as town which gets me suspected, but especially weird is eventually people seem to get paranoid of me for sometimes no reason at all lategame.

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.

Mod	Time of Death	Outcome	Fate
Mini 1843	Mini Normal	6	Town VT	Loss	Average reads, did help lynch 2 scum but also tunneled 1 townie for most of the game and was wrong on last scum. Still, probably would have won if I had not been mislynched here .
mhsmith0	12/12/2016	Average	Lynched Day 5
1753:BascTraining	Newbie	8	Town VT	Win	Perfect game! Led d1 lynch onto scum. D2 my lynchpool was 2 people, a lurkish town and the remaining scum, both were inactive though and I wanted more information to decide. The day ended early with an accidental hammer onto the scum so it was all good, well played by everyone this game.

1752:Wave	Newbie	4	Town VT	Loss	Was V/LA around deadline so settled on a safe lynch on someone who already claimed VT, got nightkilled when I got back, low impact.
grapes	08/11/2016	Average	Killed Night 1
Newbie 1743	Newbie	3	Mafia Goon	Loss	Terrible play here, didn't kill or force claims out of any of the PRs. Only managed to mislynch one townie this game.
Nexus	17/10/2016	Average	Lynched Day 3
Mini 1832	Mini Normal	7	Town VT	Loss	Reads were okay, took d1 too slow though and couldn't prevent a mislynch on jakefsf. Town was caught up in a TvT and I read both as town but couldn't stop it. Killed n1 so overall impact was minimal again. Baited nk as vt at least, which actually got a watcher guilty on one of the scum.
xyzzy	24/09/2016	Average	Killed Night 1
1820:LazySumMaf	Mini Normal	3	Town VT	Loss	Setup was all powers n2 only which was interesting. Reads were garbage with only 1 scumread accurate. Backtracked on my previously strongest townread infinity, entirely from setup speculation which was really bad, as was misvoting in 3p lylo.
Marquis	10/09/2016	V. Close	Endgamed
651:StacktDeck	Open	8	Mafia BP	Win	Bad pre-game choices gave town the advantage; I was originally traitor. Luckily town screwed themselves d1/2 outing 3 PRs with 1 lynched. In d3 mylo I led a mislynch using my towncred onto scummiest looking town for the win. Near universally townread all game and not once voted, but my actual play was kind of half-assed. In general town were apathetic this game.

1734:Happy	Newbie	2	Town VT	Win	Terrible reads this game. Scum were lurking and I scumhunted within the actives instead of policy lynching. It's really lucky I got killed n1 because I was super confbiased. Well played infinity, zyf and gamma emerald for carrying town.
Xalxe	31/08/2016	Average	Killed Night 1
Mini 1812	Mini Normal	6	Town Tracker	Win	Alright game. Misread ASP d1 but lynched my other scumread which was scum. D2 I wanted to wait and see how things developed on ASP but scum quickhammered and then nk'd me. Murdercat and nacho pulled it off d4/5, plus good play from shadow_step. Overall okay reads but qh+nk reduced how much game impact I could've had. Main mistake was not preventing the QH; saw it coming but didn't unvote.
Plotinus	28/07/2016	Close	Killed Night 2
Newbie 1707	Newbie	5	Town BP	Win	Didn't really deserve this win. Reads were awful and of my 4 top scumreads, 2 I mislynched, 1 got killed and 1 became conftown in 5p lylo. 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, scum Murph actually claimed BP in desperation and I CC'd. It was a close 1v1 and he almost convinced others but we managed in the end. Well played to the Murph/AlpacaAlpaca newbie scumteam fooling almost everyone until lylo.

Newbie 1712	Newbie	6	Town VT	Loss	A tough loss. Didn't take d1 seriously, which made BBT scumread me the rest of the game. D2 my scumreads were 1 scum 1 town but we lynched the townie. D3 was really good since I finally lynched scum and managed to townread BBT, but d4 3p I couldn't defend myself to him in a 1v1 vs the scum and I basically lost from the d1 mishaps. Lesson learned is not to risk my appearance too hard on reaction tests, and be careful posting strange theories which weird people out even if it is being honest.
Huntress	30/06/2016	Close	Lynched Day 4
Mini 1796	Mini Normal	3	Town Cop	Loss	Very mediocre game by me. Mislynched drmyshotty d1, though he was refusing to work with anyone and self voting. I cop'd to find an inno, but didn't defend him much out of self preservation so he still was mislynched. However scum had rolecop'd me n1 and were killing me anyways. Game went on to s-Transcend bussing 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 good d1. If I lived my second check would've been a guilty but my reads were still bad here along with crumbing d1.
Creature	16/06/2016	Average	Killed Night 2
Newbie 1714	Newbie	8	Mafia Goon	Win	First scum game as a halfway experienced player! Was worried pregame of ranger. Though I tried so hard to look town, Beeboy suspected me, Ranger was paranoid and F-oh-x was worried too; like they all scumread me via gut but just didn't yet have the evidence to pursue it, plus my partner flaked. Luckily town misplayed hard, someone quickhammered to end d1 early and it let me kill Ranger for breathing room. D2 new partner Mhssmith showed up who played fantastic, getting townread by everyone. We return lynched hammerer d2, killed F-oh-x who was cop and made it to 5p lylo with only beeboy scumreading me so easy win. Alright play here but most of the experienced players still scumread me, also feel bad for winning mainly on one townie's d1 play.

641:Carbon14	Open	8	Town VT	Win	Weird but fun little game. 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. Reads were great even though I kept second guessing them, and good play from Creature and Transcend, plus Ranger losing motivation made the win easy.

Mini 1762	Mini Normal	9	Town VT	Win	This started early february and dragged on to end in may. I had 6 full games in the span of playing this one and actually changed over this game through learning from each of the others finishing. D1 stretched to no-lynch, misread BBT anyways. D2 took forever due to replaces and modflake, mislynched Beeboy. D3 I finally scumread scum, convinced on syn scum but unsure on GR and the chance of their 1v1 being t-GR vs s-Syn instead of SvS. GR was lynched d3 but it didn't erase my syn scumread, RC pointed out the likelihood of it being bussing and I kept pushing syn for the rest of the game despite their 1v1 convincing most. D4 again replaces made the day longer, but saved the game since those replacing out would've lynched me. I couldn't convince town to lynch Syn despite all my efforts, the lynch was between me and my townread kirroha so I had to hammer her to save myself. I had to work with MagnaofIllusion to convince him of my innocence which was hard as he was stubborn and this was a near loss, thankfully GiF saved me. D5 5p lylo I finally convinced MoI and got the Syn lynch, which won the game. A very gruelling but satisfying win. Started d1 new but by the end was semi-experienced, I think it's cool you can see progression because of how long the game was, people replacing in even scumread that difference. Props to RC, GiF, Titus as well as MoI for finally changing his mind and Metrion for backup modding; the game was almost abandoned.

639:C9++	Open	7	Town 1sDoc	Win	Amazing game I barely played in. Townread BBT d1 and agreed with his dave scumread, but switched to wagon charl later day to try to sort him. Unfortunately town-charloux self quickhammered unexpectedly and ended the day early then me + BBT got killed n1 by Sk and maf. Town pulled it off in the end with really good clutch play so WP to them, though I had no game impact here because of how the day ended so fast my reads were at least good.
lilith2013	08/05/2016	V. Close	Killed Night 1
1698:Myst.of Hist.	Newbie	8	Town VT	Win	Pretty good win, reads were decent. Scumteam replaced out d1 and I did end up mislynching d1, 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 Theme	5	Town RB	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, but still I want to forget this game ever happened.
Davsto	07/04/2016	Stomp	Lynched Day 4
1767:Hung. Notak 2	Newbie	6	Town VT	Win	Scumread 1 townie and 1 scum but lynched the townie d1. Was inexplicably killed n1 despite being a potential mislynch, town lynched my other scumread d2 though and got a guilty d3 for the win. Reads were okay but died too early to really be a factor anyways. Really enjoyed playing with nachomamma8 here for the first time, he IC'd well and I learned a lot from him.
Plotinus	17/03/2016	Average	Killed Night 1
1767:In. Un. Guilty	Mini Normal	7	Town Mason	Win	Decent but unremarkable win. Was mason with 2 others, sheeped mason buddies and townreads onto scum for d1 lynch and got killed n1. The setup was town sided with 3mason+UBP, and town did end up steamrolling. My contribution in this win was minor but at least my reads were decent.
Ranger	05/03/2016	Blitz	Killed Night 1
1685:Code Noir	Newbie	1	Town VT	Loss	My worst game ever. Scumread tracker for lack of scumhunting, I had terrible reads here. After a ML d1, I QH'd town transcend d2. D3 lylo I would have been lynched but tracker found scum. D4 I screwed up yet again in my 3p lylo choice and mislynched alexcellent for the loss because I was too paranoid of him as a player. Single-handedly lost this for town. At the very least d1 was fun and the playerlist was cool, everyone was nice and didn't rub it in.
Cheery Dog	15/03/2016	Close	Endgamed
567:KidsW/Guns	Mini Theme	4	Mafia Goon	Loss	Wasn't a lynch option for most of the day. What happened was my partner Kublai Khan got wagoned as suicider and I didn't bus because I didn't want to lose him d1. Because he was busy IRL he didn't defend himself and just suicided. People then wagoned me via association, and I was demotivated from losing my partner that fast so didn't put up a fight... so despite looking ok for most of the day, I was lynched d1 in the end.
Not_Mafia	29/01/2016	Blitz	Lynched Day 1
1747:Cinn. Roll Mafia	Mini Normal	2	Town VT	Loss	My only replace so far, couldn't get into the game as a replacement and my reads were horrendous. As a newb it was a bad idea.
3dicerolling	27/01/2016	Average	Lynched Day 3
Mini 1755	Mini Normal	4	Maf Neapolitan	Win	Obvscum yet again and lynched d1. Here at least 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, including a risky hammer on performer to buy our other partner another day alive. Don't deserve this win at all, though all the scum rolls as a newbie sucked.
Dierfire	21/01/2016	Close	Lynched Day 1
1752:Back to Dec	Mini Normal	9	Town BG	Win	First win, only game as a new player I played well in. D1 scumread scum and wagoned him until he claimed doc; at the time I didn't know bg-doc was impossible combination, but still thought the way he claimed was fake. Town then wagoned Llama but he was one of my strong townreads, so I diverted us onto a common scumread of town and one of my side scumreads, who was the other scum. With him lynched, overnight I thought about why BG-doc 100% wouldn't exist, and cc'd for the win the start of next day. Had a couple of people misreading and tunnelling me all game but townread them anyways.

1753:League Maf UP	Mini Theme	2	Maf Immunizer	Loss	Second mafia game, obvscum again, ABR caught me here. Also fell for a fakehammer which was bad.
Dramonic	17/01/2016	Blitz	Lynched Day 1
565:TWD ep.1	Micro	1	Mafia RBer	Loss	First scum game. Was obvscum, BBT caught me d1. Trying to pretend to be town with almost no actual town experience was impossible for me. After those first 2 games I couldn't play more newbies until I SE qualified, and there's a string of games including this where its newb-obv-scum me getting destroyed by good players.
Radja	13/01/2016	Blitz	Lynched Day 1
Newbie 1671	Newbie	5	Town Cop	Loss	Was in TvTs d1, unintentionally softed PR when wagoned. Had to hammer a townread to save myself, but got killed anyways for the softing. Main mistake this game was not knowing how to judge replacements and activity in reading someone, I ended up townreading both scum replacements because of this. Secondary mistake was PR softing.
Jackal711	05/01/2016	Blitz	Killed Night 1
1670:Mutts Mafia	Newbie	?	Town VT	Loss	Attempted to reaction test and got lynched literally hours into the game. Scum quickhammered me and played it off as a newbie mistake.
Fferyllt	11/12/2015	Stomp	Lynched Day 1
