Xylthixlm

Author of XylBot, the mafia bot in #mafia@irc.globalgamers.net. Thinks his mafia skills are better than they really are, although he is pretty good on IRC.

Xylthixlm has a policy of lynching anyone who has a policy of anti-town play, and usually causes an enormous argument in the process.

Quotes

"Thanks to Xyl for being such a shot in the arm to the game when it was really languishing." - OGML

"Xyl is right." - Yosarian2
"I agree with Xylthixlm." - Adel "I haven't even said anything yet." - Xylthixlm

Modded Games

Mini 592: Xyl's Mafia 1

Not what you expect in a mini normal. But at least more balanced than Mini 551.

Mini 637: Xyl's Smalltown Plus

Never put a suicide bomber and a super backup in the same setup.

Xyl's Relative Chaos

Eight protown players in a 15-player game is still a majority.

-XylBot-

I wanted to see a cult in action. The cult leader got shot night 0.

Collected Wisdom

"Making yourself look scummy on purpose is a terrible idea. It will most likely just get other pro-town people to attack you and fight with you, and then you're more likely to get lynched, and when you do those pro-town people look bad as well. It may not seem like much, but one pro-town person intentionally looking scummy can do harm to the town that's very hard to recover from." - Yosarian2

"I play mafia because I enjoy the challenge of the game. The game would cease to be challenging if the point wasn't to win or lose. I want to win because everybody involved in the game wanting to win is what keeps the game from being a pointless exercise." - Goatrevolt

"If there is a lurkerscum in a game, there is just no way to get rid of him other then lynching lurkers. You can either do it early, or you can do it late; early is better." - Yosarian2

"We should strive to make an informed decision based on the best evidence, and then act accordingly, even though the best evidence will never guarantee certainty."

"Our strength lies, in our opinion, not in deliberation and discussion, but that knowledge which is gained by discussion preparatory to action. For we have a peculiar power of thinking before we act, and of acting, too, whereas other men are courageous from ignorance but hesitate upon reflection." - Pericles.

"We have a long road ahead of us yet, I think." - Cale "Let's litter it with bodies!" - Richard
