Pieceofpecanpie

the pie

Ah, a lovely chap who has dastardly desires for the things that go bump in the night, both in creating their bumping and at other times locating the source of that damned bumping noise and returning it restfully to a quiet spot on the shelf. Not much else to trout on about, but a good hoodoo to you whoever you may be and with any luck we'll be riding the great grey whale skywards some time in the mafia dead zone.

Regards, Pie

"You're walking along to dinner, trying to figure out who is out to get you, when someone suggests going to a place that has good pie. Two of you drop behind and one says, "Yeah, Pecan Pie! Let's get Pecan Pie!"

The cry rings in your ears. "Get Pecan Pie! Get Pecan Pie!" Given your incompetence, you take that as a cue to assume pieceofpecanpie is the bad cop! You dive on him, tackle him to the ground, and beat his brains out.

Wait -- beat his brains out? Who did that? As you scramble to your feet you realize that two of you are holding guns on the other two. "All too easy" one of them says.

Bang! Bang!

One of them says "First sword swallowers, now cops. We are invincible!" And they run off to an Open Game coming sometime soon." - saulres, Precinct Madness endgame flavour, October 8th (taken with permission)

The day was cut short when SafetyDance announced that some dude in a pie costume was part of the mafia. Before he could explain anything else, several people had vanished from the meeting, taking the pie guy with them. A few moments later, a truck revved its engines, then peeled out onto a road towards the Greatly Convenient Canyon That-Has-Clearly-Been-Here-The-Whole-Time. After watching the truck make a sick ramp jump into it, everyone recieves a text message.

"I wasn't trying to kill you guys godamnit"

Several seconds later, your phones buzz again, this time coinciding with the crash of the truck at the bottom of the canyon.

"P.S. you guys are jerks."

pieceofpecanpie was lynched! He was a Vanilla Townie. - Gammagooey, Open 480 kill-scene flavour, April 4th (permission pending)

Hahahahahahahaha! Oh man, watch the pure WTFuckery as Day 3 rolls around with the Cop - SafetyDance - fakeclaiming a guilty on me, DESPITE having a confirmed guilty result on someone else, and then a quicklynch occurring before I even get a chance to post. The throws, the throws. My face hurt after these events, although beyond that the game actually went pretty well for a while. Perhaps it is possible for me to enjoy playing games. Here's hoping...

Mini Theme	Nimb	Town	Unholy Death Knight	Started	Lynched Day 1	25 days	0/1	Mafia Win
This is the game that broke the camels back. I've regularly recognised my own fallacies and try to improve my play from game to game, but I made an effort here, I tried to stir a mostly dormant group of players and I get bumped off for the effort. Not even by scum (which was my hope as per my plague ability), but by people who either can't be bothered or just want me lynched simply because they do. Since it sounds like I'm developing some sort of persecution complex, coupled with my lack of enjoyment with the last few games I think it's time to quietly step outside for a moment, wander around in the sun and think about contributing through game modding and set up.

Mini Theme	quadz08	Town	Naive Cop	Started	Killed Night 1	23 days	1/1	Mafia Win
This is the first game where I've tuned out after being killed. I believe I was V/LA for a few days shortly after turning up dead and beyond glancing at the game from time to time never really kept track of who was scummy-ing who. I was disappointed that in my first Cop game I not only played poorly - getting caught out in passivity land by a very sharp Xisiqomelir - but I also turned out to be Naive, meaning - had I lived - sooner or later I'd be in the uncomfortable position of lying to myself about my reads, or worse still to the rest of town. My small redeeming moment in Day 1 was accurately picking Whiskers as scum, I was feeling nice and confident about that. Thor did push my buttons though. Geez I got angry by his holier-than-every-breathing-creature attitude that he sauntered around with in this game, like a little badge stuck next to his name that would read something along the lines of "Best Mafia Performance" or "Best IC Player". Little did I know that the following game would push my pop-out blood vessels of rage into projectional overdrive.

Urghhh, what can I say? This should've been one of those games where I guess scum correctly, wrap it up in a neat package and laugh all the way to the bank. At least as the only power role that could make an impact I felt the onus was on me to do something. Especially in a field of confused, if not marginally useless townies, I still managed to feel in control. Then a sneaky no kill Night 2, a bit of impatience for me to wrap it up with an impending week long V/LA and townies happy to be spoonfed one idea rather than think independently had this was swing right around. To do something half-right only to mess up is a bit crushing. I won't be ego tripping anytime soon.

Holy cow! Scumbuddy frog for town MVP. A brief "rumdown" of the game: AI wagon to L-1 > no CC comes > AI wagon abandoned > rummy frog fake claims as the other town PR > Fancy-Pants CC's > frog lynched > I find myself top of a small list of unconfirmed lynch candidates > Ankamius accidentally hammers me despite finding my desperate lies compelling > Game. So it would've taken some small miracle to weasel out of this one, but alas, a hilarious albeit frustrating game. Although Ankamius said "I'd like to apologize for pieceofpecanpie for that accidental hammer after stating that no lynching is more likely for a town win. That has to be one of the worst ways to lose ever", I'm okay about the loss, it was out of my hands, and I can think of at least one worse way involving a telephone, chilli sauce and the anus.

This game has served as a fine example of my inability to combine set-up theory with gameplay. Although others contributed to the complete town wipe-out, my own ineptitude to scumhunt normally and distraction with the set-up theory was telling. This game is a fine lesson on how I can improve various deficiencies in the future.

Mini Normal	ChaosOmega	Town	Miller	Started	Alive	67 days	???	Town Win
Not a bad game. I felt a bit lukewarm about some of my zealous talk early in regards to my Miller claim, in hindsight I'd certainly approach that differently. Beyond that a pretty good game. Was played out well by town, although scum did hamstring themselves a bit, which although initially confusing was ultimately their downfall. PS. Cogito is a douche.

Pick Your Power X/Y	Scott Brosius	Mafia	Vengeful	Started	Lynched Day 1	30 days	N/A	Mafia Win
Wow! By the time this one finished I felt like a mostly forgotten guest actor from the pilot episode, who promptly didn't get asked back for the 7 episodes commissioned by the tv network, and had to wait and see how the script writers resolved my characters plot lines by watching the full season air at the rate of an episode per fortnight. Amazingly after all that, scum won! I was an observer watching - depending on who you ask - town fail or petapan succeed. I'm in the latter category for this one, although town made their share of mistakes, I felt petapan capatalised on them with a degree of brilliance and aplomb worthy of much props, song dedications, marriage proposals and alcohol-related merriment well into the night.

Ahhh scum, what fun you are. Although Pine attracted rather a lot of attention and got lynched for it quite early, the major payoff was that ac1983fan put himself into a strong town position because of it. Junpei replaced in for ac1983fan and continued the pro town trend, finishing the game off nicely. All I had to do was keep my nose relatively clean, which in this case worked out, and walk away rosy-cheeked and victorious, albeit with the slightly guilty tinge of our deceitful actions towards the town players. All part and parcel of mafia territory.

Mini Normal	chauchaudotcom	Town	Vanilla	Started	Lynched Day 2	36 days	???	Mafia Win
A rather excellent game, but not much can be said of my contribution. My town play was weak, this was the second game where I flaked too much when talk was important. In a game with only two scum they played incredibly well and held sway over the whole group, my hat goes off to Equinox and ICEninja. Had it been the original scum team of Jackal711 and drmyshotgun, they would've been sent packing early, empty handed, with less props than a P-3 Orion.

A nice game overall and my first "official" win due to the server crash nullifying Newbie 1211. Didn't play too badly, pushed for the mislynch on Thomith Day 1, but recovered Day 2 by nailing Twisted as scum (I, correctly, pushed hard for that one as well). Day 3 became tricky, mostly due to Greywing's slippery play as the final scum, but Thor's brilliance cracked the case wide open. I walked away with a win, but it felt a little less deserved on the part of being rather flakey towards the end at a crucial time. Thor's no mafia spring chicken though, and his parting words of guidance were a plus for the future.

Mini Normal	Oversoul	Town	Vanilla	Started	Lynched Day 3	20 days	???	Mafia Win
Have to chalk this one up to being a best of bothworlds scenario for the scum. Not only did I arrive 48hours into the game to find myself in Day 1 twilight, but some valuable players were killed straight up in the night. Struggling to throw meaningful reads and play out in Day 2 ultimately ended in confusion, the glory of hindsight revealing that scum were doing more talking than the otherwise passive town. After being thrown in jail during the night, I was protected from scum clutches, but it only forestalled death by about 24hours as the scum were able to get enough of the remaining moronic town to pile on me the following day. The game ended with mostly lurking and regrettably little manipulation required for another mislynch and easy scum win.

Really unfortunate that my first introduction to Mafia was met by the great server crash, which wiped all our fine work away. My scumbuddy Praetyre and I made quite a team, and we had this one on a platter. The Cop went down the first day and we had the Jailkeeper by the second night. With his strong guidance and my intuition to listen to his strong guidance we were busily manipulating and conjugating and discombobulating the rest of the town. They were dazzled, and then we were too when the forums blew up. As Praetyre put it, "I'm gutted as a salmon about the matter."
