Replaced into page 209 after my very first newbie game completed and I was so fucking lost. My slot was being widely scumread for reasons I didn’t understand. My first readslist contained the words “because the wiki says”. Whenever I bumbled into a correct scumread people started yelling about what I r*t*rd I was. At one point one of the scumteams faked a guilty on me and I didn’t even know what was happening or why Narninian was saying things that weren’t true so I just ignored it and I would have been mislynched but someone else got themselves modkilled, then Narninian was crosskilled and flipped scum that night so my wagon didn’t reform but people were still heavily scumreading me and they wouldn’t tell me and I continued being bad for a while, with voting patterns that looked opportunistic and stances that made little sense. I spent so much time being afraid that someone might mistakenly think I knew what I was doing and sheep me that I came off as wishywashy and overlycautious and self-conscious, which I was. Anyway, after a month or so I started getting better as a player and started gaining some confidence and figuring out what I was supposed to be doing and finally started towning up my slot. After doing well as a replacement in the Zar show I started an uphill battle to combat the town apathy we were all feeling and started a reread of the thread, by then 277 pages long, liveblogging my thoughts on all the living players, analysing the scumgames of all the dead scum and looking for associatives. We were 3:1:1 by then and we all thought it was 4:1 and I was townreading one of the scum, who buddied me and that affected my readthrough in a bad way but Mastin saved the day and managed to lynch him on Day 10. Then on Day 11 it was 2:1 and I finished my readthrough and I tried to get the remaining two players to interact with me but I was still being widely scumread and I didn’t know what to do anymore because I’d done everything I could think of and I grew despondent, thinking I’d let everyone down because I’d tried my hardest and put in so much work and the only response was “Plotinus is scummy because Plotinus is scum”, but the way the remaining two players responded to my meltdown was a huge clue to who the final scum was. I just needed a little setup spec help and trying to get it from Bulbasaur Commonwealth made them vote me for reasons I didn’t understand but by then I was sure it had to be Brantz so I didn’t crossvote even though I knew crossvoting was the right move. I voted Brantz and pleaded with them and they unvoted me but then later they setup specced themselves into hammering me after I was crossvoted by Brantz’s replacement. I was nominated for two scummies for my play in this game, but it’s a good example of me sometimes taking quite some time to find my way in a game and figure out what to do.

Newbie	Zar	Town	Vanilla Townie	Replaced in day 1	Survived to end	9 days days	1/1	Perfect Town Win
Replaced in because two of my friends were in the game. Saved the IC from being mislynched and led successful wagon on scum. The IC and I were conftown the next day.

Had some trouble getting into this one but we found scum on day 1, the SK killed scum on night 1, we lynched the last scum on day 2 and the SK gave up on day 3

Newbie	Cephrir	Town	Tracker	Started	Killed in endgame	24 days	0/4	Mafia Win
My second game. I derphammered on day 1 just out of RVS because I didn't remember other people's RVS votes and didn't think to count. The person who was hammered and the person who put them at L-1 also had miscounted. The person I tracked the first night was nightkilled. I had a lot of defending myself to do on Day 2 but another townie whose slot looked scummier than I did was lynched. Realised my friend from the previous game was town so I crumbed my role to her in the end of Day 2, though she'd actually figured it out on her own since Day 1. The two of us were a town voting bloc on Day 3 and developped a nice synergy but alas we both voted the other townie.

My first game. I was wrong about everything. I was conftown because I didn't know mafia didn't have daytalk, but I read everyone else wrong. Scum befriended me and it worked. People townread me and I thought they were buddying me so I tunnelled them.
