Games Modded

Game Setup Start Date End Date Game Result Comments
Open 519 Enemy of My Enemy August 12, 2013 October 10, 2013 Werewolf Win First time this setup was run, so of course the scum investigative roles cross-killed each other N1, and it became multiball mountainous. Town only lynched correctly once.

Playstyle

  • I absolutely hate metagaming. Hate, hate, hate. -- I'm softening on this stance quick-like. It's harder to avoid than I thought. Belisarius 15:10, 2 January 2013 (EST)
  • I am somewhat competitive and want to win, but my first priority is to enjoy myself as much as possible.
  • My first core principle in any game: It's better to make the others react to me than it is to react to them. It gives me more control over the game and it's easier to get accurate reads based on someone's interactions with me than it is between two others.
  • The second core principle is Shaheed's Law, simplified as "If you need something to be true or you're screwed, assume it is."
  • Third core principle: "A shit leopard can't change its spots" ~Jim Lahey
  • "Active Lurking" and "IIoA": Buzzwords used to stifle discussion and scare people away from using humour. If you use these buzzwords, autovote me every game because I shall no longer be silenced save by lynch.

Offsite Games Played

Game Start Date End Date Mod Role Start Status End Status Game Result Comments
Eyes on Final Fantasy Anniversary Mafia November 14, 2012 November 27, 2012 Jiro Apothecary Original player Shot, Night 7 Mafia Win Played quite poorly, had no grasp of theory. Roleclaimed early, ham acting damaged town as much as the mafias, stayed in til night 7 chiefly by luck. Misapplied Shaheed's Law on the 2 mafia theory. Still had a lot of fun though, especially the part where I told one of my own buddies to go to Hell in Hamlet's own words when I didn't know who he was. Did manage to scotch the Mafia Poisoner's last night kill, ironically by following the advice of both Mafia Godfathers. This is where my hate of metagaming was born after my correct diagnosis of [M] Setzer as scum was derailed by a metagaming mislynch. Town was terrible in this game as the second Mafia Godfather truthfully roleclaimed 3 days before the end and still won
Eyes on Final Fantasy Mafia XXV April 1, 2013 April 12, 2013 Laddy Death Miller Original player Shot, Night 5 Mafia Win I actually thought I'd been lied to in my role PM when I flipped scum and realised that my role hadn't been explicitly named, showed up in town green, and didn't have a link to the Mafia talk are.

Misc

  • If you give me any opportunity to quote Shakespeare, expect Shakespeare.
  • My favourite thing about Mafia is that "Magnificent Bastard" moment when I realise somebody has successfully pulled the wool over my eyes.
  • Some Canadians may like to spell words the American way. I am not one of those people. I speak the Queen's English, please do not "correct" me when I spell words the correct (for me) British way.

Shaheed's Law source

“But of course poker isn’t really a card game. It’s a game of people. The cards are just a tool for playing your opponents. That may be why you weren’t good at it. Bridge comes much closer to direct problem solving— the extrapolation of discrete logical permutations. You can’t ignore who your opponents are, naturally, but you win with your mind more than your guts.

“You’re trying to win this one with your guts, Morn. You need to use your mind.”

Morn drank more coffee. She didn’t say anything: she didn’t have anything to say. Instead she concentrated on the pain in her throat. “We have a maxim in bridge,” he continued. “If you need a particular card to be in a certain place, assume it is. If you need a particular distribution of the cards, assume it exists. Plan the rest of your strategy as if you have a right to be sure of that one assumption.

“It doesn’t always work, of course. In fact, you can play for days without it working once. But that’s not the point. The point is, if your assumption is false you were going to fail anyway. That assumption represents the one thing you have to have in order to succeed, so you might as well count on it. Without it, there’s nothing you can do except shrug and go on to the next hand.”
