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 This game was kind of a travesty. The town was so filled with inactivity it made scum-hunting impossible. The scum were well on their way to a victory when the Mod flaked. Cudos to vollkan and IdiotKing in particular. Also, here's an example of Andrius at his absolute worst. :D
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 Not much to say here. Day 1 we wagonned scum ReaperCharlie (who had 2 lives) to lynch. I made the key mistake of the game, IMO, when I tried to block Jack due to his horrible attacks on me during the Day. Had I not blocked him Reaper scum would have been put to rest. For my troubles the Serial Killer killed me to top off the bad news.
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 Victarion Greyjoy (Greyjoy Mafia Goon) Win (Split with with Lannister Faction Night 8) Survived to Endgame. An awesome game. Faraday and Seacore worked in flavor well and had interesting events on several days (a Mob action, a Mod confirmed scan, and a double lynch). I think I aquitted myself well in surviving to endgame and making it possible for scum to triumph over Town (even if we had to draw to do so).
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 and one was eventually lynched. 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 Loss - Either way the Mafia won so I lost Nightkilled Nights 2 and 4. Let me say it is frustrating as all get-out to be NKed twice in 4 days. Also, don't get me started on the concept of a bus-driver allowing you to NK yourself. (For record keeping purposes I list this as a Town loss as I started the game Town and spent 66% of my time alive in game as Town).
Mad World - Time Travel Mafia - Themed Large ooba Dr. Quest (Town Mason) Loss (Mafia Win Night 4) Nightkilled Night 1 An intesting set-up. There was 1 Mafia with 3 members and a Isolated Traitor Doctor, a Serial Killer with a 1 shot daykill, 1 shot role-block and alternate win option, and an interesting Twist on a survivor role. Also the Mafia had two kinds of Cop and Town had none. As usual got killed way too early. Gandalf - shame on you for failing to protect me. Game went down to the wire where the Serial Killer missed his last kill and thus the Mafia won a 2-1-1 endgame.
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 Mafia Goon Win (Mafia victory Day 7) Survived to endgame Survived an early Day 1 scare and earned enough Town cred with a bus of one of my partners I was able to coast for most of the game. A bad decision on my part to make a fake-claim of Hider almost cost me the game. Activity was pretty unimpressive for an invitiational game.
Choose Your Side - A Comedy of Whims (Large Theme) SaintKerrigan Randal 'Pink' Floyd, 3rd Party Loss (Killed as Survivor N1) 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 Cyrus, Cowardly Double Lyncher (3rd Party) Loss (Killed as Modified Suvivor / Lyncher Night 2) Nightkilled Night 2 Nik devised an interesting role in this game ... I was a hybrid Lyncher / Survivor. In effect I had to get two roles (which I did not know who played them)lynched or killed. Both roles ended up being Mafia, one of which had a Townie name. The first was lynched Day 1 for obv-scum play and I got the second to claiming status Day 2. However I tried to get said 'Townie' name Nightkilled in an attempt to preserve my life. It didn't work.
Mini 1039 - Lost: Season One xRECKONERx Charlie Pace, Vanilla Town Loss - Mafia Victory Day 4 Nightkilled Night 3 Frustrating experience. Properly identified lyncher Day 1 and late in Day 2 nailed both remaining scum. What happened? Town vigs Dramonic and BloodCovenant ignored my advice and killed a claimed Beloved Princess after a Town Guard flipped. Then when the Mafia took me down during the funeral BloodCovenant shot Dramonic (who had been driving force for a N1 Mafia Doc vig) and then voted for ObvTown in LYLO so the scum could quickhammer. Worst Town player I have ever witnessed.
Mini 1040 - Everyone's a Critic! kunkstar7 Vanilla Town Loss - Mafia Victory Day 4 Nightkilled Night 4 An interesting premise - a Vig mechanic is randomly assigned at the start of the game and passed each night based on the holders decision. Makes getting a good Town read as the Vig important. My early game reads were horrible - I missed out on Stef's scumminess Day 1 and pushed LMP Day 2 based on his play (which was bad, BTW) and a Miller claim when I was guessing the set-up was Mountainous. I was wrong about that. Night 2 LMP vigged AntiTown and my subsequent VC Analysis had both remaining scum (NoPoint and Carapuce) in a group of three with perenial VI DocMyShottyisSiK. LMP handed the Vig to NoPoint after Night 2 and he used it to kill both myself and LMP Night 3.
Magician's Mafia - The Hypnotists (Large Theme) petroleumjelly Martyr Magician (Town) Loss - (Mafia win Day 8) Nightkilled Night 0 Ellibereth made my personal 'Do Not Play With' list this game. The game was a 4 Goon scum against a Town with Powers that really didn't help find scum. Toogeloo made it to endgame based on a good fake-claim.
Mini 1052 - Personal Agenda Mafia q21 Jester Win - Lynched Day 3 Lynched Day 3 I'm fairly proud of my effort here. The game advertised that a Jester was a possible role and not until after I was lynched Day 3 was the concept of myself as Jester even broached. My personal favorite move was fake-claiming Daycop Day 2 and using it to lynch Exe based on a guilty read.
Lord of the Rings Mafia - Large Theme - Hydra with SSBF Bilbo Baggins (Plum / Andrius) Theodred, Vanilla Town Win - Town Win Day 5 Nightkilled Night 1 (Isenguard Mafia) A pretty impressive Town overall perfomance. Town lynched scum successfull 4 of 5 Days (and also would have lynched another scum who was saved by a Governor) and still the game was in doubt due to unique mechanics in the game. 3rd Party Gollum role did Town huge favors by Daykilling multiple scum. Great game from a standpoint of mechanics (Elven Rings, Palantir) and flavor.
Gorrad's Favorite Fictional Characters Mafia Gorrad Phantom Thief 1412, Town Vote Thief Win (Town Victory Night 7) Nightkilled Night 6 (zomg what took so long) by both Spark and Curry Mafia. An interesting Theme game from the standpoint that pretty much any pop culture source could be your role. I got off to a slow start thanks to perennial VI Chesskid and the real life distractions for the Mod that made Day 1 and Night 1 very long and un-even. Once things got settled my reads came into better focus. Will have to look back for my thoughts Day 3 and see how I fared. I actually enjoyed playing to Day 6 in a Large theme game as Town.
Secret Invasion Mafia - Mini 1071 danakillsu Longshot - Town Unblockable Bulletproof Doctor Loss - Mafia win Day 4 Lynched Day 3 Dana did a good job crafting all sorts of crazy, site-meta defying roles. Scum pulled off quick-lynches Day 2 and Day 3 with no consequences.
The Return to Liten - Large Theme SaintKerrigan Evelyn Falconi, AKA "Kestrel", Arkon Goon Loss - Town win in LYLO Day 7 Lynched Day 7 My first scum loss on Mafiascum. Town started of very strongly with two lynches of Arkons the first 2 Days. I later had to bus my last partner based for gameplay reasons. I managed to claw through several more mislynches but in LYLO I couldn't convince Furry to vote the other way. By far probably my worst scum game here. SaintK did a great job once again with the flavor.
Hydra Mafia - Large Theme bv310 Town Bodyguard Loss (Mafia Victory Day 4) Nightkilled Night 2 I started the game with Espeonage as my hydra-mate. He quite typically flaked and was replaced by Mina. We were a modified version of the basic bodyguard - for each Townie lynched our Protect had an 33% chance to kill the attacker. Unfortunately we were directly Night 2 instead of the player we protected (who was Town). A mass Hydra game is not a good idea. Read this game to see why.
Stars Aligned III- Large Theme Percy Investigator Ongoing Lynched Day 2 Ongoing
Open 261 - VasudeVa's Vengeful Villa VasudeVa Mafia Goon Loss (Godfather Lynched Day 1) Endgamed Charter pretty much nailed the Godfather immediately Day 1. I voted to put him at L-1 and began working on a gambit to secure my lynch and hope the bussing worked. Alas one of our lurkers hammered Farcry before the gambit could be completed. You win some you lose some.
Mini 1077 - LOST: Season 2 xRECKONERx Mr. Eko - Mafia Extended Roleblocker Win (Mafia Win Day 3) Survived to endgame The bastardly Mod mechanics slowly began to increase in this game. The Hatch Sequence had to be pressed every 108 posts ... and when it failed to happen Town player Gandalf joined Dramonic and I on the scum team. As a consequence Town was granted a 'SuperCop' ability that Faraday used on me. But thanks to the oddness of his claim we got Vezok to vote Faraday and the Mafia wagonned to a perfect victory.
Mini 1083 - Aqua Teen Hunger Force Mafia Game for Forums Untrod Tripod MC Pee Pants, Town Voter from the Grave Win ??? Day 7 Lynched Day 1 (and in hindsight this was a blessing) Untrod is doing a great job of replicating the feel of the show in his flavor postings. And that's all I will say about him. Town won Day 7 when Implosion (who apparently didn't know he was scum until Day 6) was lynched. Untrod has declined to post the set-up, which apparantly was borked beyond reason, so the only players I know for sure were Town are Seacore, Podium and myself and the only Mafia I know for sure was Implosion.
Mini 1086 - KGB Mafia (Mini Normal) LynchMePls Mafia Goon Victory (Mafia Win Night 3) Survived to endgame. Replaced in Day 1. My slot's predecessor was horribly scummy but somehow I skated away from that impression. After ReaperCharlie replaced in I spent Day 1 and 2 jousting with him about who was scum and then accusing him of being scum. It was fun. DGB did a great job as an Isolated Mafia Traitor (who knew myself and Xdaa but we didn't know him) communicating with me in the thread covertly.
Mini 1096 - Seinfeld Mafia Kdub Crazy Joe Davola, Town Watcher Loss (Mafia Victory Day 4) Survived to endgame 8 Townie / 4 Mafia set-up in which the scum had a modified 1-shot suicide / bomb. One of my worst games on site as Town. My reads were subpar (only had strong suspicion of 1 of 4 Mafia) and participated in 3 of 4 mislynches. Bad MoI, no donut for this game.
Blackest Night Mafia - Large Theme danakillsu and ReaperCharlie Ongoing Ongoing Still alive Ongoing
Cyclic Experiment Set x01 - Large Theme The Eruci (aka kunkstar 7) Eruci (Town) Ongoing Nightkilled Night 1 (not surprising) A followup to kunk's Mini 1040. Love the mechancis. More when game is over.
