Does Bo Know

Does He Really Know?

Probably not.

Hi. My name on MafiaScum is Does Bo Know, but I also respond to DBK or Bo. I've been signed up since January 2011, but I take long breaks from it every now and then.

A little about me: I'm a college student going for a BS in computer engineering. Right, not exactly the type of MafiaScum player you expected (as opposed to an English or psychology student), but eh. I love certain TV shows. Making a Scrubs, Arrested Development, Breaking Bad, House, or Warehouse 13 reference in the beginning of a game with me will probably result in me not voting you in RVS. Just a heads up. (But seriously, not really.)

Tips for Tables in my Wiki

- NOTE: THE TABLES BELOW CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR GAMES I HAVE PLAYED.

- If you click on the hyperlink with the game's official name, it will take you to the beginning of the topic.

- If you click on the hyperlink with "needs X replacements," it will send you to the post on MS where the mod is asking for the replacement, OR it will send you to your UCP, with a PM already set up to the mod. You just have to type the message.

- If you click on any other hyperlink in the tables, it will take you to the corresponding post. (i.e., if you click on a link that says "Killed," it will take you to the point in the game where I was killed. If you click on a link that says "Won," it will take you to the point in the game where the win was officially declared by the Mod.)

- Roles will not be revealed until the Mod has officially revealed them in the game.

- Comments will be updated with my thoughts after endgame.

- Games are arranged with the most recent one first.

Newbie 1353	Mafia Goon	Mar 26 Apr 28	Survived, Won	This was a very interesting game for me. Day 1 was supposed to be a wagon on my partner (with me on it for the bus), but I quickly (and accidentally) switched the entire wagon onto another player that happened to be the doctor. Then the IC claimed my partner and I were town as shit. Then we killed the cop Night 1. So all was fine. I helped lynch my partner Day 2, and from there it was a mystery who the real scum was. My biggest play was Night 3. I left the more experienced IC alive in favor of someone who could help me mislynch the last townie, so that the WIFOM could settle in and make the IC and my mislynch target think I wouldn't have night-killed that player. (I don't know if that made any sense. It makes more sense when you read the game, trust me.) I did kill off newbies in this game, but it was for the better of my wincon, and I feel the newbies in this game that read along might've learned some good stuff.
Open 484	Vanilla Townie	Mar 23 Apr 10	Lynched, Won	Day 1.0, a mislynch that shouldn't have happened on a player that "wasn't contributing for a bit." (Hindsight, I shouldn't have been on that wagon.) Day 1.5, I'm accused of being scum, before I was pretty close to hammer, did something totally anti-meta and just fooled around with my reads. I was hammered. Day 2 was just crazy, especially with how quickly Day 2.5 went. When I was posting in Twilight 1, I had two picks for scum; neither of them were true. But I did change my mind in the dead QT, so my death, ultimately, wouldn't have mattered.
Micro 145	Mafia Lover	Mar 20 Apr 2	Survived, Perfect Win	This game was too easy for my partner and I. My partner didn't do much for most of the game, which I guess worked to my advantage since I never had to worry about distancing myself. We had two townies in our sights that acted the scummiest, and they were part of town lover pairs. Everything kinda fell into place, until the end when I decided that bussing my partner may have been an option. Luckily we never had to resort to that. Also, I'm pretty sure the last 2 hours of that game on April Fools Day was the best time I've ever had trolling the town.
Micro 141	Vanilla Townie	Mar 11 Apr 18	Killed, Won	We had a very inactive player that was replaced by a troll/idiot that was scum. Also, townies started trying to pull reaction tests and stuff and it ended up being more confusing than helpful in the end. I mean, the other scum did play fairly well up to the end of Day 3; a lot of people had him as a town read. I was lynched for some pretty crap reasons though, like when I tried confirming a town player in the beginning of the game...how exactly is trying to limit the lynch pool scum-motivated?
Newbie 1340	Vanilla Townie	Feb 26 (replaced Mar 6) Mar 29	Killed, Won	I'm not too fond of the game, even though we won. Days 1 and 2 mostly consisted of quicklynches on townies, Day 1 of which I wasn't too fond of. Both scum quickhammered on the first two days, something I didn't expect. However, one scum claimed cop but something was off about it. I'll admit, I was out of line voting that player even though it was LyLo, but luckily for me, it worked; it was a showdown between me and the fakeclaimer. The fake cop was lynched, I was night killed, and it was 3p LyLo to the end. (I wish I could've been there. It could've gone by a lot more quickly considering I had pretty much deduced the other scum.)

Micro 77	Mafia Goon	Nov 15 Nov 20	Survived, Lost	This isn't an incredibly serious game. It's actually pretty funny the further you go into it. I wasn't there when the game reached its peak of hilarity, but eh. At first I thought it was the greatest game I've ever been in because of how crazy it was, but looking back, it was meh. I wish I could've been there, that's probably why I don't enjoy it as much.
Micro 74	Vanilla Townie	Nov 6 Nov 21	Killed, Lost	So this was my first time starting a Jester game. I don't think I'll ever do it again, simply because of how paranoid I am with lynching someone and the game being over. I got carried away with "safe" lynches instead of trying to make sure someone was scum or not. I had a hunch about the Jester, but I convinced the Jester himself to give Jester reads instead of just assuming he was Jester; this pretty much made me lose my Jester read, and the Jester won the game.
Micro 60	1-shot Friendly Neighbor	Oct 17 Nov 10	Survived, Won	This setup was like C9++ for a Micro, known tentatively as C9--. I was a huge target D1, but I was able to claim and confirm myself as town later. We lynched scum D1, but D2 had a fakeclaim that was supposed to work, but one player pointed out a fault; that player, saying I wasn't confirmed townie, was lynched pretty quickly. Finally, I felt pretty confident who the other scum was, and never really changed my mind about it since the final day started. He was lynched and we won.
Micro 51	Vengeful Townie	Oct 9 Oct 16	Lynched, Lost	I couldn't be as active as I wanted to this game. Interestingly, the goon attempted the white flag gambit; this way, he basically tried to out me as Godfather as his goon self was lynched, making me an instant lynch D2. But it didn't really work like it was supposed to. Fortunately for scum, the Godfather was able to keep control pretty much the entire game. And I knew who it was after I died--the gambit they pulled would only work if the scum wasn't obvious. So I figured out who the Godfather was after I died. Oh well.
Newbie 1277	Mafia Goon	Aug 28 Oct 8	Survived, Perfect Win	This was my first game back since the crash, so I thought I'd start with something simple. Both my scum partner and I spent most of the game being not-scum, trying to add heat to problems that didn't relate to us. We did a fairly nice job until the end when we had to be under suspicion; if you look later in the topic, I tried to quickvote so that my partner could hammer, but it was too late. Fortunately, one player tested my partner's alignment by putting a vote back on the target, and he was proven wrong. So I almost kept us from getting a perfect win, but even if I were lynched, one player wouldn't believe my partner was really my partner, so it was a win regardless.
