Still evolving. Which is to say the use of "VI" in the role column of undecided games is only partially a joke.
I absolutely hate metagaming. Hate, hate, hate.
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
I am not very good at applying those principles yet, but I'm here to learn

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 lynch. Town was terrible in this game as the second Mafia Godfather truthfully roleclaimed 3 days before the end and still won
