Newbie 1306	November 30, 2012	December 30, 2012	DeasVail	VT	Replaced in, Day 1 Predecessor had 0 posts	Alive	Town Win	Had a lot of fun on Day 1, but one scum selfhammered at the end of Day 1, and the other at the start of Day 2, so it was a pretty disappointing game all told. Voted 3 times in total, the first 2 vs. scum.
Newbie 1314	December 31, 2012	March 15, 2013	Jackal711	Town Doctor	Replaced in, Pregame	Shot, Night 1	Scum Win	Tried to direct the NK on D1 so I'd know who to protect, then realised that was an incredibly stupid thing to do. Nobody picked up on what I did there and the scum NK'd me because I was too obvTown
Newbie 1305	January 28, 2013	February 4, 2013	Jackal711	Mafia RoleCop	Replaced in, Day 2	Lynched, Day 3	Town Win	First time as scum. Fucked it up pretty hard. Took some bad risks, but I think they were justified. I enjoyed losing this game more than I enjoyed winning in Newbie 1306. Had lots of good opportunities to quote Shakespeare.
Newbie 1344	March 5, 2013	March 30, 2013	Ser Arthur Dayne	VT	Original player	Shot, Night 1	Town Win	This is the first win I'm actually counting, and I wasn't right about anything once at any point in the game.
Newbie 1352	March 26, 2013	April 26, 2013	UberNinja	Mafia Goon	Original player	Lynched, D2	Town Win	I shouldn't have voted for Cybertronix.
Micro 129	February 15, 2013	March 1, 2013	DeasVail	Town 2-Shot Rolecop	Original Player	Shot, Night 1	Scum Win	So confusing.  Couldn't follow anyone's reasoning D1, and the town quickhammered my only strong townread.  The director was fucking hilarious though.
Micro 126	February 9, 2013	March 29, 2013	RachMarie	VT	Original Player	Shot, Night 2	Scum Win	GODDAMMIT I COULD HAVE HAD THIS ONE. All I had to do D1 was not unvote and Nacho would have got the plurality lynch.
Mini 1432	March 12, 2013	ongoing	guille2015		Original player
Open 480	February 22, 2013	April 18, 2013	Gammagooey	Mafia Roleblocker	Original Player	Survived	Scum Win	My first scum win. Cheery Dog was an awesome scumbuddy and the town kept me worried all game long.
Open 447	February 15, 2013	ongoing	Robocopter87	Mafia Goon	Replaced in, Day 2	Lynched, Day 2
Open 492	April 18, 2013	May 11, [[2013]	jmo16mla	Mafia Goon	Replaced in, Day 3	Survived	Majiffy Win	Jiffy pushed every mislynch. All TNE and I did was not die. In fact, the game could have ended 24 hours sooner if TNE and I had been less careful -- it was L-2 with 2 scum online but neither of us put a vote down in case the other had just gone offline.

Town: W1, L3, (Not counting 1)

Scum: W1, L2

Win rate: 28.57%; Not counting Newbie 1306 due to the scumteam's French battle tactics. (37.50% counting 1306)

Playstyle

• I absolutely hate metagaming. Hate, hate, hate. -- I'm softening on this stance quick-like. It's harder to avoid than I thought. Belisarius 15:10, 2 January 2013 (EST)
• I am somewhat competitive and want to win, but my first priority is to enjoy myself as much as possible.
• My first core principle in any game: It's better to make the others react to me than it is to react to them. It gives me more control over the game and it's easier to get accurate reads based on someone's interactions with me than it is between two others.
• The second core principle is Shaheed's Law, simplified as "If you need something to be true or you're screwed, assume it is."
• Third core principle: "A shit leopard can't change its spots" ~Jim Lahey
• "Active Lurking" and "IIoA": Buzzwords used to stifle discussion and scare people away from using humour. If you use these buzzwords, autovote me every game because I shall no longer be silenced save by lynch.

Eyes on Final Fantasy Anniversary Mafia	November 14, 2012	November 27, 2012	Jiro	Apothecary	Original player	Shot, Night 7	Mafia Win	Played quite poorly, had no grasp of theory. Roleclaimed early, ham acting damaged town as much as the mafias, stayed in til night 7 chiefly by luck. Misapplied Shaheed's Law on the 2 mafia theory. Still had a lot of fun though, especially the part where I told one of my own buddies to go to Hell in Hamlet's own words when I didn't know who he was. Did manage to scotch the Mafia Poisoner's last night kill, ironically by following the advice of both Mafia Godfathers. This is where my hate of metagaming was born after my correct diagnosis of [M] Setzer as scum was derailed by a metagaming mislynch. Town was terrible in this game as the second Mafia Godfather truthfully roleclaimed 3 days before the end and still won
Eyes on Final Fantasy Mafia XXV	April 1, 2013	April 12, 2013	Laddy	Death Miller	Original player	Shot, Night 5	Mafia Win	I actually thought I'd been lied to in my role PM when I flipped scum and realised that my role hadn't been explicitly named, showed up in town green, and didn't have a link to the Mafia talk are.

Misc

• If you give me any opportunity to quote Shakespeare, expect Shakespeare.
• My favourite thing about Mafia is that "Magnificent Bastard" moment when I realise somebody has successfully pulled the wool over my eyes.
• Some Canadians may like to spell words the American way. I am not one of those people. I speak the Queen's English, please do not "correct" me when I spell words the correct (for me) British way.
