LicketyQuickety

About Me

I started playing mafia in Feb of 2015 on a site called Personality Cafe. I was terrible when I started but it was not all bad. In my experience I have had some success with guessing setups - I guessed the number of T's rolled in my very first game in which I was a replacement in. I guessed the T's rolled on day 3. I was also Mod-Killed that game for copy pasting my flavor role. I was under the assumption that copy pasting was different than quoting. The rules state you are not allowed to quote your role PM and said nothing of copy pasting so I copy pasted it and got mod killed for it. I have since played on 6 other sites besides MS and PerC. I have learned that every site has their own way of doing things and often times there are slight variations in the way the game is played. Its really all the same game though. If you are Town you try to lynch Scum. If you are Scum you try not to get lynched.

Style Of play

When I first started playing I was always the top poster. I posted so much that it choked the game. After hearing multiple times not to do that I finally decided that it was best that I let the game breathe before I felt the need to post my thoughts.

I have had many people tell me they do not follow my reasoning. For a time I tried to explain myself more elaborately in hopes that people would understand, but it seemed the harder I tried to do that the less understood I was.

I have gotten lazy in my way of playing. I don't often say everything that is on my mind regarding the game, but reduce it to a few things that I feel are of immediate concern.

As Town I am a decent Scum hunter and a leader - my Town game, if you have played with me before, is unmistakable. I do, however, try to match my Scum game to my Town game which is an ever evolving process.

Quotes

LicketyQuickety is the type of player who, if I was scum, would terrify me because of the potential to nail scum time and time again. I might be one of the few to see it, but I see it all the same. ~mastin2

I hate that lickety is so on point even though I genuinely don't get him half the time. He's got half the scum team down. ~Elbirn (Scumchat)

LQ was such an idiot when he first started playing on this site. Now that he's settled in he's pretty good. That's a problem. ~Klingoncelt (Scumchat)

Games

I had previously had all my records from all my games on all sites listed and documented, but I must have not saved the edit so they are not there. Sorry about that, but I can't be bothered to do all that work again; the 'All Completed Mafia Games Across All Sites' will have to suffice for now.

Will update... Sometime.

Last Reads Notes For On Site Town Games Before I Died
Game	Win/Loss	Day finished	Read Notes
Newbie 1609: Flavorless Mafia	Win	Lynched Day 1	My reads were either really bad or decent depending on how you look at it. Just before I died I had Fro99er as mafia and Cho AKA Marquis as mafia. Fro99er was the Town Cop that game and Marquis was in fact mafia. I think the last thing I said in the thread before my hammer was "Cho choked."
Star Treck Deep Space Nine Season 1	Win	Lynched Day 1	This was a large role madness setup game made up of 21 players. 7/20 of my reads were dead wrong. 7.5/20 of my reads were correct. 5/20 of my reads were either Null reads or inconclusive
Mini 1682	Loss	Lynched Day 1	I never made a reads list this game. I was under the assumption that I was going to get lynched so I did what I could by making a case against a player that was relatively new like myself and basically said "look at this person if flip today." Turns out I was right about that person being scum. That person survived until the day before Lylo and survived until they were lynched day 5.
Newbie 1635	Win	Survived	My reads were all over the place this game and for good reason. The scum that was lynched Day 1 had a total of only 12 posts. I was not on the wagon because someone claimed intent and then someone else quick hammered. The other Scum slot was replaced twice. The first out of the three for the second mafia member had a whopping 2 posts. The next person to take the slot had 29 posts and it was all pretty much content. The only reason that they were lynched day two is because they dropped and didn't even submit a NK. The third to take the slot never even caught up with the game. Thankfully I was on scums wagon the second day.
Newbie 1638	Win	Survived	My reads were very so-so this game. On the one hand, all the Scum were in my Scumreads pool, but I got something pretty wrong. I had either player A and player Y were the Scum team or player B and player Z were the Scum Team when the actual Scum team were players A and B while players Y and Z were the PT. So I guess my reads were just unnecessarily complex this game. I also wasn't able to put 2 and 2 together after N2 when the unCCed Doc didn't die that night meaning that the unCCed Doc was actually Scum of course. I need to start using Occam's Razor more.
Mini 1710: A Midnight Sun	Loss	Killed Day 4	My reads were... weird this game. Someone said I had seriously voted for the entire Scum team Day 1. Those reads changed. I ended up having some weird reads on Scum but did have some good Town reads. I don't know what to think about how I played this game. Someone said I was the MVP of the game, but I think that could have been in jest. IDK, read the game and see for yourself. It was a good game so worth the read.

1. Be confident- Self-explanatory. People naturally gravitate toward confident people. When you show no weakness you are telling people you are right when others are wrong.

2. Trust your Gut- The single best way to read people. A lot of the time people cannot consciously know if someone is genuine or not, but the subconscious can usually tell.

3. Convince people- Whether it be by an Occam's Razor deduction case or a sickening appeal to emotions, it doesn't matter as long as you get people to do what you want them to do.

Ever wonder how the heck I get the weird reads I do? I'll tell you! It took me a while to get a feel for how I naturally want to read people. I realized relatively quickly that I don't read people based on logic most of the time. I have discovered that my natural way to read people is by reading into their psyche. I already know how to twist a knife into people so they get really uncomfortable, that's not the problem. The problem is learning how to interpret the signs that I am wearing the Scum down and then interpreting that into a read. The way I read people largely has to do with that fact that Scum give off a very specific vibe when they are feeling pressured. What I try to do is put people through psychological distress in order to get a read out of them. Its much akin to a criminal being interrogated and feeling the pressure to confess. This way of reading people is not the best way to read people, but it is the best thing I have right now. Town can very well feel a similar pressure that a Scum might, but often times their reactions are different. I aim to perfect this type of reading people to be so proficient at it that I will be able to tell when anyone is lying.
