Ranmaru

Hi, names Ran. my goal is to win. I want to argue with people to see their motives, and I will be honest and townie as can be. I don't try to "avoid nk's" because that shouldn't be my focus. My preferences are to see everyone contributing and giving thoughts on other players/who is to be lynched. (Which is why I press others to actively post because discussion is good for town) I take things seriously. I ignore wifom and emotions. I'd LIKE to use VCA but I don't know how to do it yet, but I'll try it sometime. My problems: I can't convince people. I need to work on that. I play aggresively.

Personal mish mash

Names Carlos. I'm age 21. I have a girlfriend, and she goes by the username July here on Mafiascum. I introduced her to Mafia on Smashboards and Mafiascum. I like videogames. I'm a silly guy. I tend to ask alot of questions, and I tend to be one to give advice.

How I was introduced to Mafia

Guess I'll add how I arrived here, and how I got into mafia. I come from Smash Boards http://www.smashboards.com. There is a mafia section called Dgames. If you are interested in playing out of site mafia with unknown meta, be my guest, join there. Anyways, I had a thread up about Super Mario. (A general discussion thread) It turned out a newbie mafia game was opening, I wasn't interested at all. I looked at how it played and was in fact, confused. My friend Terywj said that he would help me, so I said, "Ok, why not!" and I played. Funnily enough, I drew mafia. I was actually hoping for a town pm. Anyways, thanks to my scum buddy, SephirothsMasumune, I understood the concept a bit. He asked me if I ever played, and I said no. He then said "Ok, heres the plan, let's no kill, and get a tracker claim, and have the jailer lynched". I was like "Oh, no kill? But how does that get us a jailer claim? blah blah blah" In fact, here's my newb qt just for you to see at my raw newbieness: http://www.quicktopic.com/45/H/EM3SXk8p5Jw I won with my partner (he replaced so I could get some support, he was having life). I was so invested to that game, it was so fun. I got MVP for it. I then went on to play my next game, Soul Calibur Mafia. I was town, and lynched D1 for answering someone else's question about Policy Lynhes. >_>

How I arrived to Mafia Scum. NET

I then played many more games. I heard about Mafia Scum.net, and how it had great guides referring to mafia and even a forum just for mafia. I joined shortly thereafter, joined the newb here, and as you can see, progressed through the games you see here (Which are completed, not the ongoing ones)

Preferences

I like town more than mafia. I don't want to deal with the pressure of knowing who is town, etc. I would rather scumhunt and look for scum as town. I want to be right. I don't mind Power Roles, but I also like the Role Vanilla Townie. I tend to play power roles the wrong way I think. For example, I was a cop in a past off site game, and I was very vocal. I was put on the lynch line. : [ Even worse, I was an even night cop. :/ I did bad that game. Anyways, Town > Pr's > Mafia. I REALLY like masonries, even if it's life linked. I'd rather not be life linked, but I can deal with it. I also like discussing theory and such alot.
