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 8 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

Lol dude forget about what people say. Don't know who told Occam's that but you do have a history of getting lynched on D1 but I still remember the last game I played with you, you were NKed and your nk basically destroyed the scum team and won us the game. Even owner used to get lynched on D1 but then people started reading her properly. It's the same with you as well dude. ~lost monkey

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)

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)

Favorite Scum Game

This is NOT a real game but my favorite Scum game I have played. I will not be putting it on my record either. Be SURE to read the whole thing if you read it. It has one of the most ridiculous best comebacks I have ever seen in a game.

INTP Forum - Pmj's TWG/Mafia - You will have to search for this on that forum because the link is blocked, but it is SOOO worth the read.

What I Think is the Ideal Way to Play

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. The alpha dog gets the bone.

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. There have been studies that suggest this is true.

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. The more influence you have in the game, the more control you have over its outcome.

How I read people

I read people based on instinct, pure and simple. Instinct is different than gut because with instinct you start out with getting a gut read that someone is Town or Scum. Where it is different is that after something pings you or sets off alarm bells or raises red flags or whatever you want to call it you then go to investigate that person more closely you find out if they were Scum all along. Often times its a single post that alerts me that I believe they are Town or Scum and then I just look to see if what I was instinctive of has merit. If it does, I make a case out of it, if not, I might just keep watching. Sometimes there are things that you can just tell that that person would never say that as Town or Scum and that is where the art of reading the person comes into play. Reading the person is far more likely to give you accurate result than pretty much any kind of tell that is general. Tells are subjective, slips are subjective. The only thing you really have is what is said itt by that player and if what they are saying doesn't line up with their personality, then you know something is up. I, like every other player who has any amount of experience, do not have a perfect record for reading players. Its as much of a waiting game for me as it is an active one. I am waiting to see what is going to grab my attention and tell me where to look closer. My rule of thumb is asking myself "would this person post this as Town/Scum?"
