General

MichelSableheart is a dutch math student and gamer.

He stumbled upon the Mafiascum forums while doing a bit of background research for an article on the game of Mafia. After spending a couple of days reading the wiki and some recently finished games, he joined the site on may 31, 2007.

The first game he played in was Newbie 389, which was one of the longest newbie games ever. Because he didn't want to join other games before he had finished at least one newbie game, it wasn't until the 11th of november before he joined his second game, and it took even longer for him to get into any non-newbie games.

During the summer of 2008, he completely disappeared from the site without prior notification, leaving two games hanging. He only returned during the end of may 2009.

The name Michel is the french form of Michael. Unlike Michael, Michel does NOT have an 'a' in it.

Newbie 389

Role: Mafia Goon

Personal Result: Survived

Result: Mafia Win

Newbie 389 started on june 2nd, 2007, lasted 5 mafia days (!), and ended on november 10th 2007. It is one of the longest newbie games ever played, timewise at least.

MichelSableheart was mafia, together with GreenLiquid (who was later replaced by Qman). During day 1 and day 2, he played a solid pro-town game. At the end of day 2, he counterclaimed the doc, in the hope of a quick win. Unfortunately, the doc had succesfully protected someone during night 1, and after Michel's counterclaim, a series of No lynches & No Kills followed. On day 4, Michel's mafia partner was lynched, but after a succesful Night Kill, the town lynched it's doctor for a mafia win on day 5.

Some quotes from the game:

Newbie 494

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 1

Personal Result: Nightkilled Night 1

Result: Mafia Win

In newbie game 494, MichelSableheart replaced Dracion on page 6. He replaced a player who was considered rather scummy, but managed to change people's opinion enough to be nightkilled during night 1. It turned out he was a normal townie.

The mafia won the game. During day 1, one of them fakeclaimed cop, and did not get counterclaimed. On day 2, the fake cop claimed a guilty investigation on his partner. Even though the town managed to lynch the fake cop, the townie who had believed him became a quick mislynch on day 3.

Newbie 527

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 1

Personal Result: Survived

Result: Town Win

In newbie game 527, a game with the pie E7 setup, MichelSableheart replaced Autolyctus, who hadn't picked up his rolepm, on page 2. The game ended in a perfect town win, with MichelSableheart turning out to be a vanilla townie.

Even though MichelSableheart was the player who hammered the last scum, the town win in this game was not really thanks to him. He spend the first half of day 1 (which lasted a grand total of 18 pages) defending the mafia goon and attacking the doctor. When both the doctor and cop had claimed, and there were only four players left who could possibly be scum from his point of view, he was heavily suspicious of a scumpairing by the two pro-town players of the four.

The rest of the town played a lot better though, lynching the scum roleblocker day 1, investigating MichelSableheart to discover that he was pro-town, and quickly settling on the goon lynch day 2.

Newbie 554

Role: Mafia Goon

Replaced In During: Night 2

Personal Result: Survived

Result: Mafia Win

Newbie 554 was a California game. MichelSableheart replaced Danix, who had lurked throughout the game, during night 2. He became a mafia member, and managed to win the game.

At the moment MichelSableheart replaced in, there were 4 players still alive: the cop, 2 townies, and MichelSableheart. He managed to nightkill the cop, even though he expected someone else to have that role. His original plan was to claim cop with a guilty result on the player he believed to be the cop. He only killed the true cop as insurance in case he was mistaken. With two townies left alive, it took a bit of work for him to cause the last mislynch, but ultimately he succeeded by pressuring the weakness of the following argument made by one of the two townies. "I've basically trusted anderson the entire game, and he knows that, so I'm sure he feels the same way about me." He did not.

Newbie 578

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 2

Personal Result: Nightkilled Night 3

Result: Town Win

Newbie 578 was an F11 game. MichelSableheart replaced Cream147 during day 2. Cream checked in a couple of hours late to prevent that. Michel became a vanilla townie, got nightkilled during night 3, but managed to win the game nonetheless.

During day 1, the town lynched it's doc, despite the fact that he had claimed. Day 2, the IC who had hammered him was strung up, and revealed to be vanilla town. This left the town in Lylo. Two cop claims followed, but resulted in extremely little information becoming available to the town. Between the two of them, they only had 1 result (two roleblocks and an investigation on a dead player were claimed). Despite that, two succesfull lynches followed, with a nightkill on MichelSableheart inbetween, resulting in a town win.

MichelSableheart did play his part in the victory, with a couple of correct analyses, but his role was neglectible. He was never on the lynching wagon of scum, and was more careful in his analysis then the other players, not considering the claimed cop confirmed. Scum would have had a good chance for victory if they had kept him alive till endgame.

Newbie 615

Role: Mafia Goon

Personal Result: Survived

Result: Mafia Win

This was the first newbie game MichelSableheart played as an IC. MichelSableheart was a normal goon, and got a perfect victory in three days.

The town really helped getting the scum win though. Day 1, there was a vanilla townie who played anti-town on purpose by self voting to get to lynch -1. There were other townies who wanted to lynch him, despite not believing him to be scum. This allowed Michel to act pro-town while allowing a lynch on a townie to develop.

Day 2 was more of the same. Sure, Michel came under a bit of pressure early in the day, but the day developed into two opposing wagons on non-scum, allowing Michel's partner to hammer the cop.

Day 3 immediately saw a townie voting for another townie, and that other townie returning the favour. This didn't lead to an immediate quickhammer, because Michel's partner had to be replaced for the fourth time during the game, but the game ended soon after that replacement showed up.

In short, the townies behaved extremely anti-town, and the other goon was missing for most of the game, having to be replaced four times, leading to an easy scum victory.

Newbie 783

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 2

Personal Result: Nightkilled night 2

Result: Mafia Win

MichelSableheart replaced Furpants_Tom during day 2, and was nightkilled during night 2. He was a vanilla townie. The mafia managed to get a perfect win.

The game saw a lot of replacements and quite a bit of inactivity. That, combined with a good scumteam and an unfavourable setup for town (7 townies in an F11 game) led to a relatively easy mafia win.

MichelSableheart contributed with reasonable activity and analysis, but did not play well enough to change the tide.

Newbie 811

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 1

Personal Result: Lynched Day 4

Result: Mafia Win

MichelSableheart replaced inHimShallIBe during day 1 of this F11 game. He was alive for most of the game, getting lynched during day 4. This was the first game ever in which MichelSableheart was lynched.

After a number of inactives (and a few active players who simply lacked motivation/time) had been replaced during day 1, this game was very well played by both sides. All players were active, made good decissions, and made good posts.

During day 1 and 2, MichelSableheart was very influential on two bandwagons on townies. His reasoning wasn't bad, but he was responsible for two mislynches. During night 1, scum got lucky and managed to kill the cop. Night 2, they got lucky again and hit the doc, eliminating both powerroles without having been bothered by them at all. During these first days, one of the scum had managed to draw the suspicion of all townies in the game, and he was subsequently lynched. MichelSableheart supported this bandwagon, but because he was careful and took a bit of time completing an analysis, he wasn't actually voting the scum.

Another nightkill saw MichelSableheart with two other players in endgame. Here, those earlier bandwagons came back to haunt him. The mafia member hadn't done much to draw attention to himself, while also being active enough to avoid being suspected for lurking. Besides that, he was part of the lynching wagon on the other scum. Basically, his record looked much better then that of MichelSableheart. The third player quickly made the choice to vote Michel, and a hammer later, mafia had won the game.

Normal Games

Mini Normal 533

Role: Paranoid Doctor (AKA Jailkeeper)

Personal Result: Nightkilled Night 2

Result: Town Win

MichelSableheart played in mini 533 from the beginning. He received the role of doc, but later turned out to be a paranoid doctor, a role perhaps better known as jailkeeper. He got nightkilled during night 2, but eventually won the game along with the rest of the town.

Day 1 saw a townie pulling a Slayer's gambit, which failed utterly. He behaved scummy in the hope of luring scum onto his wagon, and said he would explain himself only when he was at L-1. Because of this behaviour, the miller believed said townie was a jester who could only win if he hammered himself and announced that he would hammer as soon as L-1 was reached. Another townie decided to test whether the miller was telling the truth. He was. The following night, the cop was doublekilled by both the mafia and the Serial Killer. MichelSableheart wasn't even close to protecting the right person.

Day 2 saw the best play of MichelSableheart that game. Based on a side remark about poison being the Modus Operandi, he correctly identified the Serial Killer. Based on behaviour, he correctly identified a mafia member. Based on behaviour, the claim and the response gotten from other players, Michel also got convinced that the claimed miller was indeed pro-town. He failed utterly in convincing the rest of the town though, and day 2 ended with a lynch of the pro-town miller.

Night 2 was a very interesting one indeed. At the beginning of night 2, Michel was told that he became paranoid because the cop had died through the hands of scum (if you've payed attention, you'll know that this was in fact not true. MichelSableheart had been paranoid the entire game). The mafia decided to nightkill the Serial Killer, mainly because the player playing the Serial Killer had an extremely good meta on a mafia member. Simultaneously, the Serial Killer decided to kill Michel, for correctly identifying him. This meant that, if Michel had protected/blocked the SK, no kills would have happened that night. And because he now knew he was paranoid, he did in fact consider targetting the SK. He ultimately decided against it because he had hinted heavily in his last post before night fell (when he didn't know he was paranoid yet) that he would be protecting someone else. That other person turned out to be the mafia member who didn't make the kill, and both Michel and the SK died that night.

After that, the game was a regular 7 player all vanilla game, which the town won by lynching mafia during day 3 and 5.

Mini normal 765

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 3

Personal Result: Killed in Endgame

Result: Mafia Win

MichelSableheart entered mini normal 765 as a replacement early during day 3 as a vanilla townie. He replaced Hero764 At that point in time, two vanilla townies had been lynched, a cop and a vanilla townie had been nightkilled, and a mason pair had claimed.

He did not have much influence on the game, as it ended before he had completely read it. He strongly questioned the mason pair, and asked a couple of questions to other players, but never voted.

One member of the mason pair voted a vanilla townie, the other member followed, and mafia quicklynched for the win.

Mafia 99 - Killers Mafia

Role: Vanilla Townie

Replaced In During: Day 1

Personal Result: Nightkilled Night 1

Result: Serial Killer Win

MichelSableheart replaced Pimj during day 1. When he signed up to replace, the game had been going on for two weeks, and was filled with inactives. Out of 13 players total, there was a player who hadn't posted since confirmation stage, and three other players also hadn't posted for a week. That problem remained throughout the game. People went inactive, and it usually took 2 weeks before they were replaced. The result was a very sluggish game.

Shortly after MichelSableheart joined, a bandwagon formed on a player that he had a firm town read on. MichelSableheart protested that bandwagon, and managed to get an alternate bandwagon driven to a lynch just before the deadline hit. Unfortunately, that alternate bandwagon was also on a townie.

That night saw three deaths. MichelSableheart was killed, along with two mafia members.

Day 2 was a lynch on another townie, night 2 saw the dead of a mafia member and 2 more townies, and then day 3 was a no lynch, because after two weeks of playing, the mod decided to announce a deadline a mere 12 hours later (when one of the players again hadn't posted for a week, but no sign of a prod or replacement whatsoever). That night, another mafia member and another townie died.

This left 3 players alive. A serial killer and 2 vanilla townies. After a bit of setup speculation, one of the townies voted the other, and the SK hammered for the win.

Overall, this game wasn't much fun. The setup was extremely swingy. the game was filled with inactives, but there was no indication that the mod was dealing with that problem. A very unusual moderator decision cost the town a lynch.

Theme Games

California Trilogy - Going to San Francisco

Role: Carlos Santana, Vanilla Townie // Ghost Doctor

Personal Result: Nightkilled Night 5

Result: Town Win

MichelSableheart was a vanilla townie, Carlos Santana, who would become a ghost doctor (a doctor who protects ghosts) when he died. He was nightkilled by scum during night 5, but eventually won the game.

This large theme game modded by mith is the first large theme game MichelSableheart has ever completed. Besides the main thread, the game featured two more threads. One in which three pro-town players were placed at the beginning of the game (found here) and one in which the dead players (including three players who died even before the game began) could discuss things and decide on a nightkill (found here). You read that correct. As soon as a player died, he gained access to that thread, and all dead players together (including confirmed scum that died) decided who the ghosts would nightkill.

During day 3, he decided to claim when he was under heavy pressure, and he did this so convincingly that he became effectively unlynchable, dying only on night 5, when the mafia used the only nightkill they used in the entire game (they had limited nightkills) to take him out.

In the scumhunting department, MichelSableheart was less succesful. He lead the attack against one scum, and joined the attack against another, but he also hammered a townie and argued against the haunting of a claimed scum near the end of the game (because he believed there was more then one scum still around).

Advertising Mafia

Role: Copywriter (pro-town)

Replaced In During: Day 2

Personal Result: Killed in Endgame

Result: Mafia Win

MichelSableheart replaced Adel during the working hours of day 2. He received the pro-town alignement, and was killed in the endgame during day 3. The mafia achieved a perfect victory.

Advertising Mafia had 14 players and a smalltown Deep South setup. Each day, a number of powerroles became available, which were distributed to the Copywriters and Art Directors through an ingenious system.

When MichelSableheart replaced in, Adel was being heavily attacked for several reasons. MichelSableheart did not manage to turn around this general feeling, and as a result, his impact on the game wasn't great.

Partially, this was caused by the fact that the 4 mafia members used their ability to daytalk perfectly to lead the town around. Through a combination of roles and an interesting day 1 scumkill, they managed to get one of their own semi-confirmed. They benefitted from a strategic lynch during day 1, got an easy lynch on a lurker during day 2, and used a fakeclaim by the semi-confirmed scum to seal the deal.
