Sentrovasi

A newbie whose self-esteem takes swings from high to low, his interest in the game of Mafia is due entirely to his enjoyment of games "that require a brain". At times, over-analytical and at others, over-conservative, it is very possible that he will never amount to anything. Nonetheless, he'll probably be proud of that, too.

Mafia Playing Style

"Certainly unique to say the least; I've seen some scumtells and some towntells from him, to the point where I don't have a good read quite yet."

Basic details

Sentrovasi's playing style is esoteric: he tends to do anything to provoke discussion when the game first starts: even incriminate himself. Because of his strange playing style, he has the tendency to confuse others. One of his weaknesses is his unstoppable enthusiasm, which causes him to often appear overeager and start posting rubbish everywhere: this is balanced by the mellow side he occasionally shows; most of these occasions, unfortunately, are when he's too tired to be hyperactive.

He has a weakness for balancing things out: arguing against any point someone else might make whether or not he agrees with it, if only so all options are considered. Occasionally, though, this puts him on shaky ground, and he is regularly the first to admit his arguments don't all hold water.

WAFY

Because of the fact that he detests playing by any known convention, he employs a self-named technique known as Wine Away From You (an obvious parody of Wine In Front Of Me). According to him, the technique involves "confusing everyone so the town won't know to vote for you and the mafia won't care to NK you". Due to the detrimental effect of such a strategy on the town in general, though, this statement is treated more as extrapolation than actual fact. The unpredictable nature of this strategy also hints at a second reason he uses it: to prevent others using the metagame as a tool to catch him off guard.

Apologist Aggressor

As of recent date, though, he has abstained from employing WAFY, and he now plays more conservatively (after the number of near-death incidents and accusations of being anti-town prompted him towards it). Instead, he now adopts a slightly erratic method, being apologist where he can and aggressive in the interim. Due to the ambivalent nature of this method, it forces him to rely mostly on his gut instinct to push for or against the lynch of a certain individual; this allows for a fairly unpredictable (but still vaguely plausible) metagame profile, which may or may not serve him well.

Inexperience

Due to his relative inexperience, his playing strategies are as yet undeveloped: he adopts playing styles as he sees fit and changes tack in games he finds lacking in aspects he finds necessary to the game's survival; this may take the form of random bouts of out-of-character behaviour, or else a sudden change in vote, although these will typically be done with the appropriate explanation.

Other Information

Outside of mafiascum, Sentrovasi is a casual writer and singer: his covers of various Japanese songs may be found on the YouTube account of the same name, and his writings appear on random forums he has visited. It is generally believed he has no life outside of the internet. This has been confirmed to be true.
