Q21

General

q21 has been a member of Mafia Scum since 29 March 2008. Had played forum mafia for a few months at MalazanEmpire.com before deciding I enjoyed the game enough to join Mafia Scum.

12 Games, 4 Wins (2 Town, 2 Scum), 8 Losses (7 Town, 1 Scum)... horrendous, I know. I don't know why I enjoy I game I lose so repeatedly? I'm getting better though, 'least my results are anyway.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa where I study Chemical Engineering at UCT (University of Cape Town). I'm currently doing fourth (and hopefully final) year, which is... well, difficult would be an understatement... so I have periods of a few days where I'm too swamped with work to post anything meaningful. Not that I always write meaningful posts when I have lots of time, but at least the possibility is there.

I tend to say what I think, when I think it - which can get me into trouble when that means disagreeing with the rest of the town. I'm also impatient. Not with people so much, but when a game starts to lag a bit I sometimes do rash things that I regret later - I also do some good things based on instinct... sometimes. Generally I'm not scared to bus my scumbuddies, which has been useful at times and detrimental at others.

Completed Games

New York

Mafia 79: The Amish Mafia LOST Townie, Killed Night 3.
Replaced back into the game. Took Celebloki's place. Townie, died in endgame.
I played pretty well with my first life, and rather badly with my second. Oddly enough, the lynch of a serial killer was the final lynch that lost us the game.

Little Italy

Mini 604: Major's Mansion LOST Mafia Goon, Lynched Day 3.
A combination of good luck from the Town Power Roles (Doctor stopped our night 0 and night 1 kills) and some good townie play was the reason for this loss.

Mini 617: Scottish Mafia LOST Townie, Lynched Final Day (4)
What can I say, the scum played well... and we had some fairly fairly poor town play going on. I'm personally satisfied with my performance, but there were a few times where I should have pushed things harder.

Mini 707: Cops and Robbers Mafia WON Robber (Mafia Goon), Lynched Day 3.
I had lots of LA and real life issues in this game that lead to low participation from me. However - when I hammered crywolf on day 2 to put the game in lylo I was pretty sure I was going down day 3, but that we'd end up winning day 4. We won on day 4.

Mini 680: Portlandia LOST Cop (sane, I think) Killed Night 1.
I got offed on night 1. I guess I'll take it as a complement that the scum thought of me as the most townie of the three (all genuine) cop claims on day 1 - but I'd have liked to have had more to do with this game.

Theme Park

Assassins in the Palace II: The Khalifs of Jelluña LOST Khalif of Jelluña, Assassinated Twilight Day 3.
My first game here. Not knowing anyone led me to ask some dumb questions and get myself killed.

Pick your Poison 3 LOST Townie, Lynched Day 2.
I made some mistakes an deserved to get lynched. That is all.

Hot Potato Mafia LOST Tatermancer, Killed in End Game.
I thought I was really clever and had worked out who the last scum was. I was wrong, we lost.

Diablo III Mafia WON Diablo, killed night 3.
I appeared into this game on day three along with two other players. I died the next night. So I didn't really have much to do with the game, but I take comfort in the fact that in that one day I played townie enough for the scum to target me. And in the end a win is a win.

Coney Island

Mini 590: War in Heaven LOST Loyal Cherub, Driven Out during the 9th Æon.
This game had a great setup designed by Mr.Flay and was very nicely poised at 6 players left. Unfortunately MellowedMan sabotaged the game by lying about information he had gained as an Innocent Investigative Role. There's no guarantee that we'd have won without that, but it would have been a much closer game.

The Road to Rome

Newbie 595 WON Mafia Goon, Lone Survivor.
My best game yet. Replaced in as public enemy number one. Lynched my scumbuddy on day one (the guy never posted once, but responded to his prods :|) and basically rode that to victory.

Newbie 634: Ballroon Blitz WON Townie, Survived.
In the end this game was pretty much the epitome of flawless victory. 2 dead scum, no dead Townies. I had a good game, hammered scum on day one and pushed the scum lynch at the end of day two. It was a good game for me.

Finished

Mini 691: Welcome to Cape Town
Ended in an impressive scum win. The town lynched scum successfully on days 1 and 2 and the scum's night 1 kill failed. Thanks to some expert bussing from KoC and generally good play from the last remaining scum, Simpor, they pulled of the win.
