Games History -

Game	GM	Role	Game Result	Survived / Death	Notes
Newbie 912	jahudo	Vanilla Town	Loss (Perfect Scum Victory)	Nightkilled Night 1	First game here. Tagged one of the scum as my strongest scum read, but lurking and personality conflicts allowed him to skate by as I was then ruthlessly NKed.
Newbie 914	bird1111	Vanilla Town	Win (Victory in Lylo, Day 4)	Nightkilled Night 3	Replaced in late Day 1. Generally nice batch of active players. Intersting decision by Cop (role-claim Day 1 not at L-1 and investigating the player the Mafia killed on Night 1) drug this out longer than it should have gone.
Mini 937 - Mafia on Death Row	DeathRowKitty	Vanilla Town	Loss (Mafia Win Day 4)	Nightkilled Night 1	Noteable that three players each claimed One Shot Vigilante - one was Vanilla, one was a full Vig and one was a Mafia Goon.
Newbie 927 - FrEeky Town	MyMilkedEel	Vanilla Town	Loss (Mafia Win Night 4 LYLO)	Lynched Day 4	I played a horrible game Day 4. I got in too deep with too many games and couldn't bring myself to try to make a case against Sotty. I knew she was the last scum but her game had been so Pro-town it was a massive uphill battle.
Mini 938 - Weeds Mafia	xRECKONERx	Conrad Shepard, Business Partner (Two Member Town Neighbor)	Win (Town Win Day 6)	Nightkilled Night 5	Three straight Mafia lynched in LYLO after mass-claims and while I was on a 5 Day cruise. Yes, three full lynches in under 6 days.
Mini 948 - Victorian Vampire Mafia	ElectricBadger	Gerald the Tailor (Town Weak Vig)	Loss (Mafia Win Day 4)	Endgamed	I went against my personal policy and voted outside of a known (to me anyway) fake-claim in LYLO. I shouldn't have been checking the thread when I didn't have proper time to reflect and analyze the situation.
Mini 951 - Prison Mafia	bigmc109	Vanilla Town	Draw - Mod Abandoned and Player Agreed	Alive at Draw	To be constructed
Mini 962 - Mafia in Murrieta	wolframhart	Vanilla Town	Win (Town Win Day 4)	Nightkilled Night 2	To be constructed.
Mini 955 - Classic Mafia	AlmasterGM	Doctor	Loss (Mafia Win Day 3)	Nightkilled Night 2	Replaced in Day 2 into a slot which had been inhabited by two seperate lurkers. The irony. Was subsequently NKed Night 2. In my mind I treat this as yet another Night 1 NK. I collect them.
Mini 969 - Smalltown: Stardust Mafia	ooba	Ditchwater Sal (Town Roleblocker)	Loss (Mafia Win Day 3)	Nightkilled (by SK) Night 1	To be constructed.
Kingdom of Loathing Mafia - Themed Large	Nikanor and DTM	Boris the Seal Clubber (Town Vigilante)	Win (Town Win Day 7)	Nightkilled (by SK) Night 3	There were no Nightkills the Nights 4,5 and 6 due to well placed Jailkeeping by Midnight's Sorrow and spot on scum-identification by Mr. Sauve. Proud to have Vigged the Mafian I feel was the lynchpin on Night 3 (Zhero). MPR's last day posting is worth the read for the laughs. I nominated Nik and DTM for Paperback Writer for the game and role flavour-text.
Clash of Kings Mafia - Themed Large	Faraday and Seacore	Ongoing	Ongoing	Currently Alive	Ongoing
Mini 974 - Thrillville Mafia	animorph	Lodewijk Alexander - Manager (Mafia Goon)	Draw (Endgame draw with Town Bulletproof)	Lynched Day 2	The mechanics of the game were not well planned. Town should have waltzed to victory but instead no lynched multiple times in an attempt to POE to the Mafia into oblivion. It didn't work and had Andrius saved his Execution power for the next day scum would have won.
Newbie 969	VP Baltar	Vanilla Town	Win (Town Win Day 4 in LYLO)	Nightkill Night 1	A fun game. Very few replacements (and those were basically Day 1) made the game flow nicely. Overall a very good player group. FredGarvin gave it his all and made it to LYLO after his obvscum Partner GroupThink was lynched Day 1. Good decision on his part to NK me as he was at the top of my Day 2 lynch list.
Mini 989 - Disgaea Mafia Episode 2	dramonic	Prizm Red, Ripoff (Vanilla Town)	Loss (Mafia Victory Day 3)	Nightkilled (Town Vig) Night 2	Perfect example of how not to play as a Town. Too many players committed to their 'style' and too stubborn to see how Anti-Town the mix was.
Mini 1000 - The Brave and the Beautiful	ReaperCharlie	Rikku - Town Thief / Neighborizor	Win (Town victory Day 5)	Lynched Day 4	Very power heavy game. Interestingly two of the three Mafia (Furcolow and millar13) were pushed heavily Day 1. Heavily detailed flavor by ReaperCharlie.
Mini 1003	zang	Town Jailkeeper	Win (Town Victory Day 4)	Survived to Endgame	An interesting game. All three Town PRs (Cop, Vig, Jailkeeper) survived to Day 3 where due to claim choices by two remaining scum (Roleblocker and Godfather) PoE identified both scum in three players. We mislynched the third but NoPoint Vigged his second scum and the Mafia forgot to send in a Nightkill. We only lynched 1 scum in 4 days but won due to Vig shots N2 and N3.
Supernatural Mafia - Themed Large	farside22	Dean Winchester (Town Hunter / Neighbor) Days 1 to 3, Lucifer (Cult Recruiter) Day 4	Ongoing (not sure exactly how my win condition is going to work out here)	Nightkilled Nights 2 and 4.	Ongoing - But let me say it is frustrating as all get-out to be NKed twice in 4 days :{
Mad World - Time Travel Mafia - Themed Large	ooba	Dr. Quest (Town Mason)	Ongoing	Nightkilled Night 1	Ongoing
Open 234 - Vengeful	Alduskkel	Vengeful Town	Loss (Mafia Win Day 2)	Endgamed	An increadibly fast game. I picked out who I thought was the scum-team early Day 1 and steered NoPoint into Vengekilling the Goon (who I thought was the Godfather) Night 1. Unfortunately Zajnet (who was the other member of my Day 1 team) quick voted me in a Tunneling fashion. Rather than get a chance to go back and examine X-Scorp I figured I was correct Day 1 as no Town would quickvote like that in LYLO. Was wrong. I appreciate that X-Scorp chose to hammer the Zajnet. One of the shortest and fastest games ever on MS.
Harry Potter Mafia - Themed Large	hasdgfas	Bellatrix Lestrange, Mafia Role-Blocker	Win (Mafia Victory Day 5)	Survived to endgame	Replaced in Night 2 for a scum with about 6 total posts. Grrr. Luckily one of my scum-buddies had fake-claimed Dumbledore the ultra-powerful Town JOAT Day 1 and cleared my slot with an 'investigation' Night 1 / Day 2. That combined with my normal style of play let to the Scum being able to successfully bandwagon a claimed Town Beloved Princess and not get called on it. Reaper and kmd were great scum-buddies to work with. I'm particularly proud of my fake- counterclaim in (what Town didn't know was) LYLO that got a Town lurker lynched. Especially since it was NOT mod provided.
Mini 1010 - Perpetually MYLO Mafia	Max	Town	Loss (Mafia wins 3 lynches to 1)	Nightkilled Night 2	Interesting set-up. Starts with 7 Town, 5 Scum (all Vanilla / Goon). First faction to three successful lynches wins. If Town is lynched scum must sacrifice one of their own. If scum is lynched they can kill Town of choice. Killed by the scum faction after I pushed strongly Day 2 for a scum lynch. A very interesting set-up which could be really competitive with an active, engaged playerbase.
/invitational Game 8 - Nito City (Mini Normal)	incognito	Ongoing	Ongoing	Still Alive	Ongoing
Choose Your Side - A Comedy of Whims (Large Theme)	SaintKerrigan	Randal 'Pink' Floyd, 3rd Party	Loss	Nightkilled Night 1	A very interesting set-up where players chose a role-name and side (Town / Mafia / 3rd Party) pre-game and SK developed the game roles based on this. Yet again killed N1. I'm compiling a list of players who chose to kill me N1 and doing my best to lynch / kill them as early as possible in a rampage of retribution. Seraphim and Espeonage this means you :D. AGM won as Cult on Day 7 after converting Andrius the uber Town traitor and CSL left the game after completeing his Jester duties.
Mini 1032 - Reboot Mafia	Nikanor	Ongoing	Ongoing	Still Alive	Ongoing
Mini 1039 - Lost: Season One	xRECKONERx	Ongoing	Ongoing	Still Alive	Ongoing
Mini 1040 - Everyone's a Critic!	kunkstar7	Ongoing	Ongoing	Still Alive	Ongoing
Magician's Mafia - The Hypnotists (Large Theme)	petroleumjelly	Martyr Magician (Town)	Ongoing	Nightkilled Night 0	Damn Mafia - consider all of you on the list with Seraphim.
Mini 1052 - Personal Agenda Mafia	q21	Ongoing	Ongoing	Still Alive	Ongoing
