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: [redacted until it's on whitelist] 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)

Game	Alignment	Mod	link	Method of arrival	Win/Lose
Newbie 1083 Mafia	Vanilla townie	Uite	[[1]]	Signed up	Night killed N2. Lead town for a bit, but didn't do well in catching scum. Sorry Town. Town lost D3.
Open 300	Vanilla townie	SingerSigner	[[2]]	Replaced in	Lynched D4 for frantic posting, going the low road in some arguments, and bringing up a fallacious argument against Zito. Town followed the cop. Won.
Mini 1146	Vanilla townie	Chesskid3	[[3]]	Replaced in	Won. Hammered scum without even reading the thread. Was busy with school, sorry town. I promise that won't happen again.
Newbie 1091	Vanilla Townie	Dekes	[[4]]	Replaced in	My most satisfying win. Cut down because I don't like it taking so much space. Basically, I replaced in to catch SCUM GLOW. Boy did I catch her, but she played well, so did LK. Good job guys. I was so glad for her self hammer. If you are scum, please follow suit. : P
Fall of the Matrix	Ongoing	Mastermind of sin	ongoing	Replaced in	ongoing
Open 305	Vanilla Townie	Chkflip	[[5]]	Replaced in	Lost. My fault. I just took it as a "Well you shouldn't kill yourself over Lylo" and so I looked at a few connections and just hammered Empking. Sorry everyone. Bad play I showed here.

I argued that I was only trying to get discussion underway, but I seemed scummy for that apparently. I was almost lynched (By Joey >_>) And I claimed cop. I wouldn't have been nk'd until the next night. I tried really hard the next day to try to find scum, didn't do so well. Turned out scum was my girlfriend and X1. >_>

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.

Raaan~ :D! You're awesome! Hope we can play in a game together on site soon :D! ~Maziek

Hey Ranmaru! I'll teach you how to use a VCA sometime, if you want. Also: I lol'd at your description of Newbie 1091. That was a fun game. ~Wierdalexv
