22, recent architecture grad. I have the bad habit of signing up for too many games at once so if I lurk/replace out of yours, please don't take it personally. I don't really have a handle on my playstyle and it changes a lot with every game I play, but here's a wiki anyway.

Lynched, Day 3
|
Town win, Day 3
|
| My first game of forum mafia contains a lot of fumbling around as I figured out how to fake reads and press players. Day 1 was cake - sitting back as a belligerent townie got himself lynched. We noticed Praetyre playing cautiously and killed him, thinking he was a PR (he was Cop!). My partner had plenty of experience from another site and looked super town to everyone until she made a BAD slip and got lynched for it. Implosion was then able to lead a lynch on me via Process of Elimination. I'm not proud of this game because I kind of just rolled over once my lynch gained traction. Still, I think I got to learn some aspects of basic scumplay.

Scum win, Day 3
|
| I wasn't happy about rolling scum again. This game was an experiment in a bullish/aggressive playstyle kind of unnatural to me. At game start, Notscience's odd newbie play generated a lot of confusing noise. I tunneled him, picking up on inconsistencies in his play, but he didn't get hammered and we had to wait until his Day 2 lynch. I had a general strategy to either eliminate the most experienced players or get them on my side. We rolecopped the IC, The Acting Method, then killed him the next night (he was Cop) before he could completely confirm his clear. The final day I played closely to Ms Marangal by letting her develop a confirmation bias towards DoctorPepper and following her movements. We convinced town to lynch during 6-P MYLO by saying a no-lynch would result in the same situation the next day, only with Autti (our presumed clear) gone. I was pretty proud of my play this game since I managed to stay completely out of the line of fire, being townread by most. TAM even said I was the scum MVP!

Town Win, Day 3
|
| My first replacement game and also my first town win! This game was severely disrupted by replacements (even the mod!) and I inherited a slot that, despite leading the lynch on scum Day 1, wasn't confirmed. Luckily, going into Day 3 we had two clears and one universally-read town. It was a unique situation because all three possible-scum players were replacements, unable to answer for their Day 1 actions (and our clears weren't being of any help to discussion). At first town seemed to be in agreement that Sakura deserved rope, but then I got paranoid and started to see everything Ffery did through a scum lens, doing a lot of back-and-forth guesswork. When Sakura self-voted, Ffery also started to see everything I did through a scum lens. Sakura could have nearly pulled off a lynch on me until she got tired of the day dragging on and self-hammered. This game showed me I like playing town over scum, even though I'm tragically indecisive and need more confidence in my gut reads.

Town Win, Day 5
|
| Pretty interesting game. I rolled Cop and was pleasantly surprised that my play seemed to be transparent enough to get townread by everyone. Then I found out: a near-universal townread, while great for making friends, can be problematic for survival. I ended up investigating people who I thought could competently lead town in an endgame situation (also I was paranoid of the IC, and wanted to check him to make cooperation possible the next day). Too bad I was killed before I could confirm Xiao and Flay as town results - I was clueless as to how breadcrumbs work, and omitted them altogether. Kattaze was a pretty awesome Doctor who correctly chose to save me Night 1, but WIFOM'd and let me die Night 2; Night 3 he saved Xiao. He afforded town enough time to find scum, even after several bad mislynches. Scumteam started brilliantly - I didn't even start looking in the right direction till I was dead. I'm glad the right people were around at endgame.

Killed Night 3

Scum Win, Day 4
|
| Town had a lackluster performance. A late Tracker claim Day 1 caused us to no-lynch, and he died that night. I was finding it hard to scumhunt and spent more time trying to make my intentions seem open and genuine to other townies. Due to a previous game, I thought Mara looked pretty town and didn't catch on until others had built up a big case for her. Town looked to be having a comeback after lynching Mara for claiming Bulletproof, but the next day went into a standstill due to inactivity. I helped lead the lynch on TGO who was massively lurking but refused to replace out and came around occasionally to proclaim how much he didn't care about the game and how we were wrong to wagon him - he was later modkilled for not playing to his wincon. I changed my read on the remaining scum due to his pretty convincing case on me, which I took as a sign of townie conviction. Obviously, I shouldn't have. At MYLO, I started a quicklynch on TIP that really shouldn't have happened. Yeah, even thinking about my play here makes me die a little inside.

Lynched Day 4

Town win
|
| My first foray outside of the Newbie forum, which showed me I still had a ways to go in learning the ropes. AngryPidgeon came up with a cool flavor setup! Overall I had a really difficult time faking my reads or pursuing leads on anybody, and I think I hid behind the "I'm a newbie" wall too often for it to feel genuine. I lurked a lot :(. Buldermar and I fell for Nero's fakecrumbing and nearly fell for Malakitten's too. I think our mistake was not killing Orcinus when he was obvtown right out of the gate; unfortunately for us he was a Role Cop. I observed some great scum play from my partner and town play from the others. Buld advised me early on: "Don't do anything drastically different as scum, but just play town and try to forget what your wincon is"... which I've since tried to incorporate into my games. ***As a side note, this game caused me to watch all 4 seasons of BSG in about 2 weeks right before finals, so there's that LOL.***
