Raskol's Forum Profile

24 years old, male. I have a joke/alt account called SPAMBOTv3, which I used to play one newbie game and to fool around in the endless story thread, and which I accidentally outed in the game I played on it. I may or may not use him to play in future games, depending on my mood.

I royally sucked in my first two games, and I lost them both. Since then I've gone 5 and 1, hope I can keep that up.

I try not to keep a particular playstle as either scum or town, but I'm generally among the most active players in any given thread, I hate lurkers and I have a tendency to be tempted to try and get away with unconventional plays. Some people find me a bit 'abrasive' on occasion, though I can't imagine why ;)

I'd say my strength is in my ability to avoid suspicion without resorting to lurking. I've never been lynched, and other than replacing in for a scummy townie on Day 3, I've never been bandwagoned past 2 votes outside the RVS. That's a boon to me as both scum and town, I think.

My scumhunting track record has been pretty average, with some good catches but also a good amount of mislynches that I was pretty sure of. I feel like this is one of the main areas where I can try to improve---hopefully gaining some meta on other players by playing more games will help me there.

I think I have more fun and scumhunt better when I start a game out rather than replacing in, but I've replaced into 8 of my 10 games, probably because I'm too impatient to wait in the queue. I've never replaced out.

Newbie 800	Vi	Vanilla Townie	Replacement - Late Day 1	NKed Night 2	Lose	My first game. I tunneled in on Onion, who had made a VI mistake D1, then on Haylen the next day, who was active lurking while posting elsewhere on the site. A loss, and terrible play from me.
Newbie 810	Vel-Rahn Koon	Doctor	Replacement - Late Day 2	NKed Night 2	Lose	I failed to catch scum when I replaced in, but scared the scum enough that they killed me off right away. KittyMo had me completely fooled and we probably would have lost even if I'd been alive, though---I even had her protected, I was so sure she was town. I played better in this game than the first one, but still nothing to write home about.
Newbie 821 (played as SPAMBOTv3)	Elmo	Vanilla Townie	In From Start	Survived	Win/Ruined by Scum	I latched on to the scum pretty quickly in this one, catching them in a mistake and pushing them on it. After I did, they got replaced and I pushed their replacement to a lynch. I've counted it as a victory, although the lynched scum got the game ended by outing her partner, because we forced that to happen and would have caught her partner in any case, as Debonair Danny DiPietro was onto her. This was my first successful scum catch, and it felt pretty good.
Newbie 818	Hohum	Doctor	Replacement - Late Day 1	NKed Night 2	Win	I pushed a lynch on policy and single fairly big mistake on MiteyMouse one D1 and she flipped town, but I got a successful protect N1, and used my knowledge of the NK target to catch one of the scum by forcing him to out himself on D2 on a scumslip he'd made the end of the previous day. After that, our cop found the other scum the next night. This was a really great game; the whole town did very well for the most part.
Mini 823 - Molinero's Mafia	Pablo Molinero	Mafia Roleblocker	Replacement - Late Day 1	Survived	Win	This was an awesome game. At the end almost everyone said they had a lot of fun. My first scum game, and my first non-newbie. I had a great scumpartner in Percy, which helped a lot. We managed a flawless victory after outing all town power and killing the SK by the beginning of D2, and I made it through the game without being voted a single time, cruising on mislynches of scummy townies. Probably the most fun I've had in a game of mafia so far.
Mini 850 - Werewolves in the WAMB!	JereIC	Vanilla Townie	In From Start	Endgamed	Lose	This was a game with an interesting setup, but was played terribly overall by all sides, especially town. Our doctor got herself modkilled D1, and our Vig killed town twice, choosing to kill a second time even when he was warned that a second townkill would lose the game for us. He would have in fact lost the game for us, but the scum actually *forgot* to submit their nightkill that night, and we had another day. On that day, in LyLo, I managed to catch Toro in a lie and outed his fakeclaim, but ended up voting to lynch Banana 563, a townie, for a similarly stupid mistake and because he had more votes, rather than pushing my case on Toro. At that point, I was so disgusted with the game that I just wanted it to be over, and getting Banana lynched was less effort.
Newbie 839	starkmoon	Vanilla Townie	In From Start	Survived	Win	This was a slow game, but both scum were caught relatively quickly. We lynched them successively on D2 and D3 after an unwanted quickhammer on a bandwagon meant to pressure a lurker into contributing gave us a mislynch D1. The first scum lynched was one I'd pegged by page 3, and the other one was definitively outed by his attempted last-minute obv-bus of her, but she would have been caught anyway---D2 we had bandwagons on both scum---not bad for a 7-2 mountainous newbie game I'd say.
Mini 836 - Commie Mafia	Kublai Khan	Vanilla Townie	Replaced Mid-Day 3	Survived	Win	I started out in a really bad situation in this game, replacing one of two prime lynch targets at a time when a mislynch would put us in MyLo. Through a combination of argument, some WIFOM, outrageous gambits, and outright bullying, I managed to shake up the thread, survive, and help defend and save the other lynch target, Debonair Danny DiPietro, who also replaced a player the town had been tunneling on, and who was town. We ended up mislynching anyway, but then went on to out scum in MyLo with Danny sealing the deal on both scum. I didn't really do much to help find scum in this game, but a win is a win and I was glad to do my part.
