Newbie 671	Mafia Goon	Survived, Won	I replaced into this game on N1 after having the game almost dead from inactivity on D1 - my partner was lynched as a result of this, and I had to survive by myself until endgame. The slot I inherited didn't come under much scrutiny despite being a heavy lurker early and offering nothing posts. I set Magpie up to be mislynched on D3, who had been tunneling quite hard on Erratus Apathos. Once he flipped town I used his case against EA in lylo which almost backfired. This was my first game as scum, and I was super nervous.
Newbie 689	Town Cop	Survived, Won	This was actually my first mafia experience online which resulted in hilariously bad, but effective play by me. I investigated a scumbag (makemeameteor) on N1, and thought I would attempt to catch out the second one by lying about my result. I claimed to get a guilty result on MafiaSSK who I was harbouring suspicion for (little did I know he is a reknowned lurker). If he was in fact mafia, I presumed he would counterclaim me, thus revealing himself as mafia. If he didn't then he was town, and I would confess my true result and accept being lynched for lying, which would then psuedo-confirm MafiaSSK and incriminate makemeameteor. The funny bit was, MafiaSSK lurked for the next 5 days and over9000_ for some reason claimed cop, revealing himself as the second mafioso. I then revealed my plan to a sceptical town, and eventually had makemeameteor lynched, as well as over9000_. A win is a win though!
Newbie 705 - Oh God My Newbies!	Vanilla Townie	Killed Night 1, Won	I replaced into this game quite early, and didn't make it through the night after zoning in on a scumbag D1. Despite the lurking from both IC's of this game, the town won quite easily with some quality play by Spolium and Fenchurch who I really wish to play with again one day.

Mini 691: Welcome to Cape Town	Vanilla Townie	Endgamed, Lost	After lynching scum on Day 1 and 2, the town really should have won this. Some clever bussing by Knight of Cydonia kept the last scum, Simpor, alive for long enough for me lose the game for the town. On D4 with 6 players alive, a nearly confirmed vig, and me confirmed as town, I basically forced everyone to follow my plan, where I'd set up the next 3 kills. It didn't work, needless to say!
Mini 747	Vanilla Townie	Endgamed, Lost	Bawww, I lost another game for the town with an incorrect decision in lylo. What rubbish. To be fair, the scum played quite well this game, and I happily admit to having the wool pulled over my eyes. I think I need to spend a little bit more thinking time in lylo from now on.
Mini 761	Vanilla Townie	Lynched D4, Lost	I replaced into this game on N2, after a string of town deaths. The town really got a little too preoccupied with the set-up possibilities more so than actual scumhunting, which perhaps hurt us, particularly when it turned out we were completely wrong (in fairness the mafia were quite overpowered, which screwed up assumptions based on balance). I don't think I gave this game my all unfortunately, as I had a few real life interferences, which subsequently saw me lynched on D4 and lost us the game.

Mafia 88: Return to New Catania	Paramedic (One-Shot-Doc)	Killed Night 3, Lost	For me, this was a disappointing game after starting with such a quality player list. The amount of lurking by some, replacements and quote pyramids from BM was frustrating - not to mention basic modding errors from MafiaSSK who bungled my protection on an outed cop. This game also had two scum teams, which means balance already depends on cross-kills. We didn't get one until N5 which was tough for the town, but I was long dead since then so it was okay by me. It was almost enough to turn me off the larger games due to the length and amount of replacements needed.

War in Heaven 2: Spirit of Vengeance	Loyal Cherub	Lynched in the Thirteenth Æon?, Lost	Wow, this was a pretty amazing game. > 4000 posts in under a month says something. The mechanics of the game was fun, and despite dying early, I followed this game all the way through. Players like Xyl, DrippingGoofball, ABR, populartajo, roflcopter clashed a lot, and it almost seemed like a game in itself to who could lead the town. Everyone wanted to do their own way of dealing damage, which ultimately cost the town. A great game though!
