A history lesson

A photograph of Ether from Starkadium. Her vacuum arm is obscured by her hair.

Who can say what 2006 was truly like? Ether can't. She emerged from the depths of that time period only partially formed, with her memories hazy. For her missing limb, she obtained a mechanical replacement: a vacuum arm. For her identity, service to Lord Mith and a loyalty to the ScumChat of that era. ScumChat was a wilder place then, rumored to actually host mafia games sometimes. Ether definitely has no regrets about her miniondom, none at all.

She flourished as a ScumChatter then, but she was troubled. Her playstyle was marred by constant lurking, and the guilt that followed. Those traits never really went away, although the lurking is much less common now. Her alignment is going to be completely obvious, because she is terrible scum. Ether is now a manic-depressive lunatic who cracks if she ever slows down, and she would like to lead your town.

Ether has helped shape the site as you know it! She is pretty sure hydras are at least partially her fault, although she doesn't have the logs to prove this anymore. Mafia encryptors are hers. Neapolitans are on the normal whitelist thanks to her, and you should use a ton of them. They're really cool.

Speaking of that, Ether is the weird grandmother of the Normal Game Review Group. She didn't last long officially reviewing every single normal game, but she did keep going just long enough to convince the site that it needed to keep that position filled, with or without her. She has recently joined the NRG in its modern form, and like a good grandmother she is here to shower it with affection, junk food and immaculate reviews. These reviews are probably a little more townsided than you're used to, but in her defense, towns are really stupid and we don't give the scum nearly enough credit.

Ether is also deeply artistic. Known to some as the Lyrical Rampage, she has a ton of mafia filk to share, and she is totally prepared to belt it out. She would be delighted to make you an avatar, and like the best creative works, that avatar will probably have the face of Yosarian2's wife photoshopped into it. Ether holds a scummie for her Telephone Pictionary modding in Mish Mash, and has somehow become the only person who runs them at all these days.

Games

Although Ether started playing on Mafiascum in July 2006 immediately after joining, she doesn't really want to talk about her first year of play. And it's not gonna help you meta her anyway. So we'll start with July 2007.

  • Open 35 - Big Love
    • (Replaced in Page 38; alive 73 pages.) Pro-town vanilla, endgamed Day 5. Loss.

    • I was replaced not for inactivity but for a slip that gave me more information than I should have had. That makes the outcome a bit more painful...maybe I could have pulled out a win.

Ether is truly a kind hearted soul who rescues kittens, feeds the homeless and ocassionally will even make the sun come out and play. Any slight one reads in her posts should be disregarded because it's an obvious misinterpretation.
