About Erg0

Erg0 joined mafiascum.net on 26 Feb 2007 after being introduced to the game by Vel-Rahn Koon (amongst others) on another website. He is living proof that bravado is no substitute for experience. He also enjoys writing about himself in the third person. One day, he would like to be good enough to actually have a playstyle. He is aware that his forum name is not terribly original.

Interesting fact: In 11 completed Newbie Games, Erg0 has never been scum. Therefore, he is never scum in Newbie Games.

Newbie 321: Contact with the Mob Mr. Flay Townie Lynched D3 Mafia Win
A very good game for a Newbie, with Zindaras (scum) winning the trust of Mr Stoofer (doctor) by not NKing him after outing him during twilight on Day 1, then getting townies lynched on Days 2 and 3 despite scummy play on Day 1. Lesson learned: being right is no use if you can't persuade people to believe you.
Mini 423: Calvin & Hobbes Mr Stoofer Hobbes' Tuna Sandwich (Townie) Eaten N2 Mafia Win Replaced remussaidow Day 1
A hidden mountainous game (2 scum, 10 vanilla townies), in which one of the scum (EmpTyger) was lynched Day 1, leaving VitaminR to play the majority of the game as the lone scum, pulling out an impressive win. This was my second game on Mafiascum, and contained a number of the site's more accomplished players, making it an excellent accelerated learning tool. My own play wasn't terrific, though I take some solace in having VitR in my top 3 suspects before being killed Night 2.
Open 22: Roleblocker C9 Patrick Townie Endgamed D3 Mafia Win Replaced beanbagboy Day 2
Replaced in LyLo after the town's only power role, a roleblocker, was lynched D1. Found one scum, but guessed wrong on a tossup between an active player with circumstantial scumtells and a lurker on Day 3 (it was the lurker). Every player still alive on Day 2 was eventually replaced - the second scum made it to Day 3 with only three posts for the entire game. Not the result that this setup deserved.
Mini 431: Happy Normal Mafia HurriKaty Townie Alive D2 Abandoned
Game killed Day 2 due to Metatron (the Godfather) outing himself and the other two scum in the thread after he was bussed to a deadline lynch by his buddies.
Newbie 397 Glork Cop Survived Town Win!
My first winning result on Mafiascum, which I almost screwed up on Day 2 by putting a townie at lynch -1, only switching my vote to one of the scum after LoudmouthLee (the doctor) yelled at me. He protected me Night 2, allowing me to find the second scum and finish things from there. A very valuable learning experience.
Assassins in the Palace Kelly Chen King Survived Palace (Town) Win!
Something a bit different. This game was nightless and had 2 kings, 2 assassins and 10 guards (townies), with the assassins trying to kill the kings and the guards trying to protect them. Each time an assassin was lynched they had an opportunity to make one or two vig-style kill(s). Turned into a bit of a wagon-fest, then a crapshoot at the end, and I was lucky that the last assassin killed the other king but missed me. An interesting experiment, but probably not a viable format unless all of the townies are on the same page strategy-wise.
Open 33: Crush Mafia Rand Althor Mafia Goon Survived Mafia Win!
A C9 game with a lyncher, lynchee and vengeful-style Godfather. I was scum with somestrangeflea, who was the GF. Plagued by inactivity for most of the first day, leading to a dubious deadline lynch of a player with only two votes. We killed JDodge (the lyncher) Night 1, leaving the way clear for a quicklynch when a townie voted first on Day 2. JDodge really likes to be reminded of this game. My first game as scum on Mafiascum.
Mini 470: Some Guys Are Trying To Kill You Maz Medias Townie Endgamed D5 Mafia Win Nominated for 'Most Enjoyable Mini' in 2007 Scummies
Quite the up and down game - we were in LyLo by Day 2 with the cop and vig dead, and it appeared we'd need to lynch correctly three times in a row to win. We came back to lynch scum on the next two days and the doctor got a successful protect on Night 3. This left us with 5 players, one of which was a confirmed mason and one of which was scum. Thinking we would be in a strong position on Day 5, we gave the claimed doctor the benefit of the doubt and lynched the next suspect in line, who turned out to be a townie. As expected, the scum killed the doctor on Night 4 and we were left with three players, one of whom was confirmed town. Unfortunately, it turned out that the last remaining scum had a daykill power...
Mini 454: Candy Mafia ShadowLurker Tootsie Rolls (Townie) Killed N4 RRSC Mafia Win
An interesting setup with two two-player scumgroups, none of whom knew who their partners were at the start of the game. Unfortunately, two mislynches and four townie nightkills left the town in a practically unwinnable position on Day 3, and the rest of the game was a runoff between the two groups of scum. Enjoyable for the first two days, though I felt like the collective scum and some misleading flavour had too much influence over the town's chances of winning. I was just happy that Stewie caught on to what was happening and didn't lynch me on the last day.
Mini 493: Methodical Mafia Mr Stoofer Mafia Lynched D4 Town Win
An experimental game in which all players with power roles submitted an ordered list of night actions prior to day 1, and were bound by this for the remainder of the game. I came disturbingly close to being Glorked at deadline on day 1, and had to scramble like crazy to hang on. One of my buddies went down to the SK on night 1, then the other was lynched day 2 due to an unlucky break on his claim. I managed to get the SK lynched on day 3, but I was targeted by two cops and a roleblocker that night, so it was curtains for me the following day. Not a bad game overall, though I wasn't super-happy with my play.
BM's Mystery Mafia Battle Mage ?? Killed N2 Ongoing
Mini 450: Evil Genius Mafia Zindaras The Great Mesmero (Doctor) Killed N3 Super Agents (Mafia) Win Replaced Keyboard Fox Day 1
A fun game overall, the town was a bit hit and miss but we were doing OK until Day 3, at which point we misguessed the setup and shot ourselves in the foot quite severely, making the game more or less unwinnable on Day 4. I made the mistake of falling in love with a wacky setup theory and claimed Doctor prematurely, thinking I might have actually been a cult recruiter. I was wrong, and after spearheading the lynch of the townie that I believed I had culted I was unsurprisingly killed that night.
Open 51: Texas Justice Mafia FeRnAnDo Mafia Killed N1 Town Win
As usual for this setup, this was a pretty wild game. I thought I was doing fine, but Oman killed me basically for kicks on Night 1, and the mass carnage ended in a town win on Day 3.
Mini 504: PEGBAM Mafia pickemgenius/Flameaxe Townie Killed N3 Mafia Win Replaced poppinpuffin Day 2
Basically a guest appearance, as I replaced in at the end of day 2 and was nightkilled after a pretty quick day 3. Karen's townie self-hammer on day 3 really killed the town's chances in this game.
Stargate SG-1 Mafia ChannelDelibird/Battle Mage Sgt. Siler (Townie), Bill Lee (Townie) Killed N2, N7 Replicators (Mafia) Win NKed Night 2, then replaced DeanWinchester Day 3 and was NKed again Night 7
This was a very fun game, which nearly died when the original mod disappeared, but was miraculously resurrected by Battle Mage and played through to completion. The town did really well as a whole, lynching scum 6 times in 8 attempts (including 5 straight at one point), but was eventually overcome by the last remaining scum after a mislynch on Day 10. Noteworthy as the game in which I missed not one, but two scum fakeclaiming my flavour.

Food Fight Mafia DrippingGoofball ?? Killed N2 Ongoing
Mini 427: Clue Mafia 2 Mastermind of Sin ?? Killed N3 Ongoing Replaced Jack Day 3
Doctor Who Mafia 2 Battle Mage Harriet Jones (Town Vote Giver) Survived Town Win!
The town dominated this one, with 9 town survivors in a 30 player game. This was a pretty fast game too, with 12 deaths by the start of Day 2 and the whole thing wrapped up by Day 5. A lot of luck and some decent sleuthing, along with an extremely unlucky scum fakeclaim (Yosarian2 claimed the flavour of the only other unclaimed player) left this one in little doubt. I hadn't survived a game for a while, so this win made me very happy.

Game Status Result Notes
Open 31: Yoguraimee C9 Completed Mafia Win My first Mafiascum modding gig!
A modified C9 with two cops and one doctor. Town came up with a good plan to improve their odds, but were unlucky in their choices, and a good bluff by the scum gave them the win before the second cop even posted his result on day 2.
Open 46: Strawberry Completed Mafia Win
A decent game, until the cop got lynched without a full claim on Day 3 after semi-faking a guilty result on a townie, which derailed the town somewhat. One mislynch later it was game over for the town. I was fortunate in only having to make one real replacement in this game (not counting the pre-game).
