AurorusVox

AurorusVox is active on MafiaScum and EpicMafia. He doesn't quite know why he's talking in the third person, but let's just run with it. Oh, jeez, now he's talking in the second person plural. Abrupt narratorial shift to the second person singular: you can tell that you are with Vox by his vibrant LEMON avatar. It is by no way an orange. The Lemon represents a student satire magazine that Vox co-founded and edited, which in its first year won a national award, "Best Student Media 2010" (he very is proud of this fact). AV is currently studying a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature, with special interest in innovative and experimental fiction and drama; post-structuralist discourse narratology; and obliterating the canon vs popular culture divide.

Fun "Mafiacts" about AV

• He likes writing long thought out posts. He does live in a walled city, after all.[1]
• His head has exploded a total of seven times due to WIFOM theorising.
• He loved making vote count charts, then gave up for a while. BUT! They are making a return!
• He's included them here, though he gave up on most of them D2 >_>
• He's only lost as scum in Large Games
• He has yet to play a large normal game.
• He's never lost an Open game!

Prefer to be a Pro-town Player.

Quotes from my Scumgames

• "And here's the truth - if Aurorus is scum, you'll never get better than this. He's a smart player and won't make dumb mistakes."
• "you were so town it was unbelievable"
• "AV, I probably never would have suspected you. You are formidable, sir."
• "Just didn't figure on AV playing a blinder."

Quotes from my Towngames

• "My vote is for the AurorusVox to die. He's an extremely competent player, he's logic-filled, he's painfully townie"
• "...It's things like this that are the reasons why you will die if I'm scum. =|"
• "The only person who truly seemed to have his head screwed on properly was AV." (lol)

Mafia Games

Newbie Games

Newbie Game
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Newbie 929	ShadowLurker	Vanilla Townie	Town	Killed at Endgame	Lost
Comments: My first MS.net game. Had really good fun in this game and it enticed me to coming back for more! I had a suspicion on one of the mafia, but our game was trashed by a townie fake-claiming cop (his guilty report was on another townie). Lynch all liars ended the game with a mafia win.
Newbie 940	Vel-Rahn Koon	Vanilla Townie	Town	NK'd N1	Lost
Comments: This game was over quite quickly for me, being killed early N1. Had a really good game and learnt a lot about scumhunting from Thor665; but in the end, the scum Nachomamma8 made a ballsy PR claim and it paid off. Vote Chart
Newbie 961	CSL	Vanilla Townie	Town	NK'd N2	Won
Comments: I replaced into this game D1. Alas, the scum seemed to give up in this game, though it was in the face of heavy evidence, collected and acted upon by a solid group of townies. Strangely, almost everyone was a replacement in this game!
Newbie 982: Shadows of Death	Haylen	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: My first time as Mafia in a Newbie Game (my previous try was over quite quickly). Both my partners ooBAZZoo and Hinduragi played solidly, but I think I managed to keep suspicion off me very well throughout the entirety of the game. Despite shovel-loads of paranoia in the QT, there were no PRs in this game, but even if there had been, I think we'd still have won through. A great game. Vote Chart
Newbie 1022	Vel-Rahn Koon	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: This time the glorious VasudeVa was my partner in crime, and a crime it was. A number of things went in our favour - such as town not PLing Shotty and a doctor self hammering D1 - but I think me and VV distanced from each other very well, and that again I came across as town. I think I was one of the only people to pick up the cop's crumbing, and swiftly killed him off that night. We quickhammered at LYLO, and it was good night town, good game mafia!

Mini Normal Games

Mini Normal Game
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Mini 1146: Don't Get Slapped by a Fish	Chesskid3	Roleblocker	Mafia	Lynched D3	Lost
Comments: Goddamn. We were doing really well right up until the end of D1, when a mad scramble for deadline wagons + not knowing what my buddy's role was = obvScumVox >_> The glorious VV knew I was scum anyway due to being a sexy beast, and RC fakeclaimed with finesse and class. This game had a lot of my favourite players in, though! :D

Open Games

Mini Normal Games
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Open 230: Bird7	Phaen	Mafia Goon	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: My very first scumgame was over quite quickly, after a fast hammer from my scumbuddy don_johnson and a believed fake-claim from him too. The victory hinged on the confirmed townie hammering the real cop (with a guilty report on me) because he believed I was town! Good times. Vote Chart
Open 231: My Name is Earl	Scott Brosius	Vanilla Townie	Town	Lynched D2	Won
Comments: Though it was set up later than Bird7, this game actually began before it, making it my first non-newbie game. It wasn't what I was used to, and in the end I got myself lynched D2, ruining an otherwise flawless victory. But a good game nonetheless! Vote Chart
Open 246: Vengeance7	inHimshallibe	Mafia Godfather	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: Whew! This game had a pretty shaky start with me putting someone at L-1 pretty much from the off-set, but after some stellar D1 confusion by my goon CSL, the remaining goon and I made the most of the situation and won through. Our victory was probably helped by a VI, but we nevertheless had a large part in the win!
Open 284: Tit for Tat	jmj3000	Mafia Deputy	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: This victory was overshadowed a little by a very strict mod-kill and some pretty poor VI play by a townie, though it took us three days to get him lynched. No one really suspected us that much until later in the game, my partners especially were very good.

Mini Theme Games

Mini Theme Games
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Mini Theme 1036: DEFCON Mafia	AlmasterGM	Air-Base	NATO	Stealth Bombed N2	Lost
Comments: Mafia could not kill N1, but they killed me as soon as they could (QQ). I (perhaps controversially) chose a scum-suited ability to prevent scum getting their hands on it, confident in my ability to prove my innocence through discussion; not to mention that I was wary of being killed off early! But it made no impact on the game at all, and town eventually lost in 3-way LYLO :( Well played scum! Vote Chart
Mini Theme 1080: txtMafia	NobodySpecial	Vigilante	Town	Killed at Endgame	Lost
Comments: I don't even want to think about this game any more. It was my first time as PR and I got roleblocked every single night. I played awfully. I got my reads wrong and looked scummy throughout. I think (or I hope) this was all because of the mod-imposed post restriction of 160-character limit to each post. I wall a lot so...but no excuses. We didn't even let the scum bus. Oh, god.
Mini Theme 1108: Mutiny on the High Seas	PranaDevil	Mutineer Goon	Mutineer	Survived	Won
Comments: PIRATE THEMED! Yarr! I love pirates. This is probably one of the best and most enjoyable games that I've played as scum. I bussed my partner hardcore until his lynch D3, which was at the hands of my other partner's fake-claim. A townie followed us in LYLO and I hammered for a win. YARR!! Vote Chart
Mini Theme 1116: Literally Anything uPick	VasudeVa	VasudeVa: Mafia JOAT	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: A game where the mod, the sexy VV, created a role based on whatever you decided to send in! I picked VausdeVa himself and went on to claw a scum win back from behind. It was an intentionally swingy game, with some confirmable townies that we didn't really kill off. Luckily one of my scumbuddies absorbed a vigilante role and that gained us the win.
Mini Theme 1127: Cults vs Masons	Kmd4390	Vanilla Townie	Town	Killed N1	Won
Comments: Cults? Masons? VV? YES PLEASE. And then I got killed N1. Sadface.
Mini 1144: Advance Wars; Mafia Strikes	AlMasterGM	Hachi	Ally	Killed D4	Draw
Comments: AGM invited me to this game. I've never played Advance Wars, but if it's an AGM game you know its guaranteed to be great. It took me a while but I finally used my power to discover that Fate was a dirty little liar. Despite this, he didn't get lynched and after I got killed, he had heaps of towncred from bussing his partners. It looked like we'd accidentally won - that town had hammered Fate unknowingly - but it turned out they'd hammered another townie beforehand. Game ended with a scorched earth draw. I got Town MVP for this at least <3|-

Large Theme Games

Large Theme Games
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
Large Theme: Gorrad's Favourite Fictional Characters Mafia	Gorrad	Axel (VT)	Town	Mind Controlled N1	Won
Comments: I got killed off N1 after leading a lynch on a lying VI :( I didn't keep up with the chart after my death so here it is: Vote Chart I can't really claim any credit for this win lol. This was my first large game, and I think its the one where I kept track of all my reads the best. Ah the good old days.
Large Theme: Stars Aligned III	Percy	Investigator	Town	Murdered N6	Won
Comments: Ah this game. An utterly fantastic setup, brilliant theme and excellently modded. I spent a lot of time doing mechanicsy things which was fun but I probably should have scum hunted more. I ended up dying to a town-kill to clear another person despite hardly anyone thinking I was actually scum. POE finally caught the last of the scum out. D1's VC: Vote Chart
Large Theme: SMBM: Invasion of Bowser's Castle	Bowser	Smithy (Mafia Godfather)	Smithy Gang	Killed N1	Lost
Comments: My first Bastard-Mod game! I got killed N1 along with a whole bunch of other kills and modkills. We were down to 2/6 on our scumteam on D2 (two of us were killed, two of us were modkilled) and so predictably lost the game.
Large Theme: DEFCON Mafia 2.0	AlmasterGM	Espionage	USSR	Nuked D4	Lost
Comments: From the ashes of DEFCON Mafia 1, was born DEFCON Mafia 2.0 - a reinvention of the first themed game with many more players and the promise of much more destruction. This was my first loss as scum QQ. Irritatingly, the reason I got caught was based quite a bit on some leaked QT messages dropped by one of my scum parters Fate. Damn those Yankee bastards!
Large Theme: Bomb Mafia	RedCoyote	Terrorist Goon	Terrorist	Lynched D4	Lost
Comments: A game with a timebomb mechanic that RedCoyote personally invited me to :) Possibly the worst I've played as scum, I got caught out role-fishing, but still somehow managed to survive to LYLO. We almost won but my scumbuddy got caught in a snowstorm and couldn't get online - and so blew up from the bomb that I passed to him. Oops.
Large Theme: WWF Road to Wrestlemania	Locke Lamora	Stone Cold Steve Austin	Million Dollar Corporation	Lynched D6	Lost
Comments: I swore to never play a large game again. But then I smelled what the Locke was cookin'. This was the most fun I've ever had losing a game. We got really unlucky with our first 2 NKs failed. The town were incredible in this game, though, and between failed fakeclaims, bodyguards and trackers, we were taken out piece by piece. Very well done town!|-

Marathon Games

Marathon Games
Game	Moderator	Role	Faction	Death Date	Win/Lose
5 Player Vengeful [2]	wickedestjr	Vanilla Townie	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: A quick marathon vengeful game, my first of both! First scum was lynched D1, then after a mislynch on D2 we were in 3 man lylo. The scum tried to get me to vote the other townie, who was suspicious of me, but I stuck to my guns and we ended up combining against him!
One Night at the Gentleman's Club 2	drmyshottyizsik	Groom	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: The setup for this game was kinda broken - or maybe we just got lucky. In any case, we won through massclaim on D2.
Blackest Night Marathon 2	danakillsu	Sinestro Mafia Roleblocker	Scum Faction A	Lynched D1	Lost
Comments: I got spanked by massclaim and lack of flavour knowledge D1 T_T
Fibonacci's Dream	Plum	Dreamer 0	Town	Survived	Won
Comments: My first Lucid Dreamer's game, I'm not sure I played particularly well. I could do global actions, but I'm pretty sure I chickened out and didn't do anything of the sort. We still won, though, due to mafia screwing up their massclaim.
Lucid Dreamer's XI	Charnel	Dreamer	Town	Killed at Endgame	Lost
Comments: The mod made a mistake and killed someone who shouldn't have died, but that's no excuse. At LYLO I WIFOM'd my way out of lynching the scum, and hammered a townie. Damn.
Lucid Dreamer's XI	CSL	Nightmare	Mafia	Survived	Won
Comments: This was reverse mafia, with more Nightmares than Dreamers, and I think it confused a few people (not least of all me). Anyway, the final scum also got confused and ended up clearing me by accident, which resulted in his lynching and our victory!
