Games and Statistics

In a past life, I played on this site with regularity, accumulating an average (7-7-2) record and being moderately known by the community. I stepped away in late 2009 for a over a year, before returning in 2011 under a new account to start a new meta. I would guess I played over 100 games of mafia IRL and my play style and confidence in my online game has subsequently changed. I *guess* you could call this account an alt, but I play it as my main now, so I'd appreciate it if the community treats it as such. In my record section, my record as Elsa von Spielburg is first and bolded, then my overall mafiascum record is in parentheses. As you can see, I have gotten better since returning.

So, my first game as an IC and we get a bunch of new players that prefer the wall-post. Great. It was a real up-and-down game for me. My arguments were generally arm-flailing and I was going after a town-lurker mostly on Day 1. Not smart. I had correctly called out one of the scum once on Day 1, but due to the absolute torrent of posting (40+ pages on Day 1) I was largely ignored and derided as 'coasting'. Day 2 was much stronger play for me. I did well enough to break down the arguments against me (lobbied by scum and town alike) and pulled pressure off of me, building up some fairly strong town reads in RayFrost and sol and Muffinman, the last of which came in to a tough slot and played very strongly town. However, the process of elimination led me to the 1 town of the remaining 3 players and I was killed off in the Night 2 under suspicion of being a PR. Fortunately, the town block survived to the end and picked off the 2 scum in the final 2 days.

Newbie 1144	iamausername	Mafia Rolecop	Survived	Scum Win	Aug 5, 2011 – Sept 8, 2011	Replacement (D1)
One of my best games on this site, though I had a lot of help from a townie that steered the town in the wrong direction and quick-hammered twice. Add to that the fact that the COP claimed VT on Day 1 (and was lynched for it), we were sitting pretty going into LyLo. That's where things got a little hairy. Two townies were voting for each other and my partner tried to vote to quick-hammer. Unfortunately, I screwed up by not telling him that I would be away all day and my scum buddy got lynched for it. I was worried that would be enough to out me, so in a gambit, I opted to No-Kill and claim Jailkeeper (as a rolecop, I knew there was no other PR in the game) to get our reckless townie from the first 2 Days lynched. It was a risky strategy, but I feel proud pulling it off.

Lost Season 5	xRECKONERx	Vanilla Townie	Lynched D3	Scum Win	July 28, 2011 – Aug 28, 2011	Original Player
My win-streak ends at 5. Not bad. I wasn't terribly active in this game and that's what cost me most. I readily admit it was not my finest effort (though I did correctly identify scum-Dramonic early in the game and pushed for his lynch whenever I could, but I never was in the same timeline with the bastard.) That said, as the game wore on, some of the players here really took me out of the experience. LLL and UK were quickly taking control of the game with many, many, stream-of-consciousness posts and a boatload of arrogance. It was frustrating to play with several off-the-cuff, emotional, "gut"-based play-styles. I was kind of relieved when I was lynched (due to scum quick-hammering me before I checked in, I was not even able to defend myself). In the end, Darox-scum played a pretty good game, bringing the dynamic duo to the end and killing them all.

Played as a SE in this game, and the other SE Thomith was my buddy. Day 1 was a mafia's dream, in where both the town Jailer and Cop came out, proving why you should never claim unless pressured since we killed the Cop night 1. Since the kill went through, the Jailer came under heavy fire and focused in on me. As such, I could not lurk, and there was a relentless back and forth between me and Thomas. In the end, though, the town's suspicion won out and he was lynched. My deflecting skills were in fine form this game. We kept a town pair that was suspicious of each other all game around for endgame and they did not disappoint. An early vote from a townie and a quick lynch later and the perfect scum win was ours. One of my best scum games.

I was so wrong in this game that it hurts. The only time I was useful in this game was at the end when we had a claimed Cop that had a result. Otherwise I was not on the lynched-scum wagons on both Days 1 and 2! I was tunneled in on 3 townies (Captain Corporeal, Weirdalex, and Soben) for most of the game since they were going after me hard on Day 1 for what I thought was weak reasoning. Fortunately, the drive and fight in me won town points from the majority of the town and I was able to avoid getting lynched or Vig-ed long enough for the people who knew what they were doing (mastin) to get scum lynches together.

Mini 1162- Inglourious Basterds Mafia	Scott Brosius	Mafia Goon	Survived	Scum Win	Apr 25, 2011 - May 25, 2011	Original Player
Not my finest game as scum, but fortunately we had some help from some miserable town (Hazard) and an odd setup (we had a Mafia Traitor on our side). The cop and a pair of lovers died night 1, which helped us scum out immensely. I didn't post much in this and the game stagnated about halfway through. As such, the people that fingered me as scum never got any momentum behind me or my scum buddies and I was able to lazily push for easy targets. In the end, we got the job done without any losses, but it wasn't pretty.

Newbie 1103: Just Another Chaotic Town	Equinox	Vanilla Townie	Survived	Town Win	May 10, 2011 - Jun 07, 2011	Original Player
This was a fun game to be in and one that I was fairly active in. I had good town reads on Scumhunter and FireStorm and rode that bloc to the end. After a mislynch on Day 1, Thor went after scum hard and I jumped on second to help make the wagon viable. After his buddy got lynched, the other scum just kind of gave up. It was in a way that, even after me and Town-TMW clashed early on Day 3, Quilford ended up as the easy lynch on Day 3 due to lurking and we secured the town victory. Happy with how I played in this one.

This was an odd one. Scum went after me early on Day 1, so I fired right back and managed to get the heat off of me. I'm kicking myself for not pursuing them further, but we managed to sink failure-scum at the end of Day 1. Unfortunately, that's where things took a turn for the worse in that we mislynched a PR who was playing SO bad we could not let him go. I was killed Night 2 since, I assume, I was looking pretty town after getting heat off of me and there was another string of mislynches til a 2-1-1 situation with RB-ers happened. No one could win, so they worked out a situation where a Draw occurred.

O299 - dh's mafia game of fun amazingness, for real	DemonHybrid	Vanilla Townie	Survived	Town Win	Apr 9 2011 - Apr 26 2011	Original Player
This game had a night start, but we had no N0 kill; Debonair Danny DiPietro picked up that iamausername was likely a roleblocker who had blocked the kill and quickly rallied his wagon to lynch. It was impressive to watch and I was part of the lynch mob that followed our glorious leaders. In the process one the scum partners made some painful-to-watch mistakes, as did the other scum, meaning we had an easy lynch on Day 2 as well. The next night IAAUN blocked the last scum kill. The last scum tried to claim to be a roleblocker and they got the town to run up to L-1 but DDD stepped in and made the town stop until IAAUN got back and posted, allowing us to lynch correctly for a perfect town win. Only one town died the whole game and the game was 10 pages long. Very impressive showing from the town.
