Alive Town Win Had a lot of fun on Day 1, but one scum selfhammered at the end of Day 1, and the other at the start of Day 2, so it was a pretty disappointing game all told. Voted 3 times in total, the first 2 vs. scum.

Newbie 1305 January 28, 2013 February 4, 2013 Jackal711 Mafia RoleCop Replaced in, Day 2 Lynched, Day 3 Town Win First time as scum. Fucked it up pretty hard. Took some bad risks, but I think they were justified. I enjoyed losing this game more than I enjoyed winning in Newbie 1306. Had lots of good opportunities to quote Shakespeare.
Micro 129 February 15, 2013 March 1, 2013 DeasVail Town 2-Shot Rolecop Original Player Shot, Night 1 Scum Win So confusing.  Couldn't follow anyone's reasoning D1, and the town quickhammered my only strong townread.  The director was fucking hilarious though.

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 day because I shall no longer be silenced save by lynch.

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

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.
