Verily shalt I be using this space to record the glorious scrolls and annals of my battles herein at mafiascum.net. One day even I may think of some pompous mafia theories to post here, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that score. Mostly this is to make it easy for me to guide people to games I have played if they want to try to read my play style.

Games I've Participated in

Newbie	ZazieR/Elmo	Town	Vanilla	Started	Survived to Endgame	Town win
My first game here at MafiaScum. Lot of replacements this game - including a replacing of not only the IC but also the mod as well as many assorted Newbies and SEs. I made it to Lylo and was never night killed despite everyone and their uncle commenting how townish I was (I vaguely blame a poor choices by the lone Mafia who made it there, but he had been burdened by less then optimal partners). An odd game overall - we had a cop and doc claim Day 1. The doc was legit and lasted till the day before lylo, the "cop" was the one scum who made it to lylo. Very interesting and very long game. I got to learn a lot about newb-tells and hopefully how to read them better and apply them properly during a scum hunt.

Newbie	pablito	Town	Cop	Started	Night Killed Night 1	Town Victory
2nd game on the site - My first time as a Cop role ever. I managed to help lead the way with an initial scum lynch and overall felt very good about my performance. I was quickly night killed on Night 1, however. Was I too aggressively town for a power role? I might have to consider some sort of logic for how/if I want to tamp that back, though that seems to be asking to be meta read, which speaking of meta I learned some lessons about it and its uses this game as well. In any case, some slow play and poor lynches later left the town in lylo with two uncommunicative players and Ythan, who had been one of the initial firebrands on the scum lynch Day 1 (I have no idea why scum let him live so long). Thankfully of the two non-talkers the one who at least managed to show up and vote was town - and town wins by a nose, huzzah!

Newbie	bird1111	Scum	Mafia Goon	Replaced in Night 2	Lynched Day 3	Town win
...well, what to say? I replaced in Night 2 to a 50 page game. The scum team ahead of me had scored about 5 player replacements amongst them - had failed to submit a kill on Night 1 - had just had one of their own lynched at the end of Day 2 despite an attempted Doc claim - and had between the assorted players who had played the two slots maintained themselves as very scummy looking throughout. Still, I sort of figured I could make it work. Time constraints had me drop out a nightkill with really no ability to read the thread first (I dumped on the guy who had been more or less cleared by previous scum lynch) and was reading through the thread to prepare my various arguments and feeling pretty content with what was to be my first scum attempt. Cop investigated me night 2 and claimed as basically the first post of Day 2 before I could even get out my "hey I'm replacing in" post. ...I wasted a lot of time reading for this one.

Mini	Dragonfly13	Town	Vanilla	Started	Killed at Endgame	Mafia Win
My first non Newbie game on Mafiascum. I played a *very* good game...if I was scum. My primary suspects were the cop, and the watcher, and by the endgame I pretty much helped convince the other players in mylo that one of the scum was obvtown. I felt off my game for most of the days and really thought I was blowing it throughout. Apparently the scum team feared me a bit after Day 1, but by Day 2 when I hammered via policy on the Cop I was pretty much ace golden boy in their book and rightfully so. Let's not dwell on this one too much - at least I hopefully learned a lot.

Newbie	Zorblag	Town	Doctor	Replaced In Night 1	Survived to Endgame	Town Victory
Replaced in to the spot of a very lurky newbie and it was also my first time as Doc (and shamefully I protected the same townie 3 nights in a row). The last time actually worked and we ended up in Mylo. I spent too much time sort of tunnel focused in on the IC and not enough working other angles (though i did work them - just not as much as I think I should have) Still, I participated in a scum lynch Day 2, and accurately pegged the scum for Day 3 and fought against the town mislynch that happened, and then in Night 3 even pegged the scum NK target so we went to mylo. So some good, some bad, hopefully I'll be better at the Doc role in the future.

Mini	Col.Cathart	Town	Vanilla	Started	Lynched in Mylo	Draw
Very cool game, probably one of my favorites thus far. Lots of early replacing probably hurt town but we managed to lynch two of the scum following that and were starting to look pretty good. Failure came as Tracker and I ended up in a bit of a back and forth that somehow got me painted as scummy (I still don't actually understand why). I was pegged as mislynch and couldn't get the one remaining vanilla townie to un-tunnel me as he and the scum tunneled in and had the last PR support the lynch as well. However, last PR was a Paranoid Gun Owner so game ended in draw.

Newbie	Vel-Rahn Koon	Town	Vanilla	Started	Died at Endgame	Mafia Win
A fun game with good play all around. I think town lost some footing because of a lynch that was motivated more from distaste towards a playstyle rather then scum actions (sadly enough I was in on this lynch as well, and it was on a player I'd previously had town reads on - this is a mental misdirection to keep a look out for in the future). Game came down to lylo with me as the deciding town vote between a scum that had falseclaimed cop and a vanilla townie. I went with logic over gut and lost the game for us - dorf!

Mini	iLord	Mafia	One-shot Roleblock Double Voter	Started	Survived to Endgame	Mafia Win
My very first time as scum, it's slightly marred since the setup was probably unbalanced against town (though perhaps over favoring the independent win condition). In any case, Day 1 ended with me and fellow scum semi-oldguy bussing our third scumbuddy who had basically managed to step in it right out of the gate. I suffered some early suspicion for ending the RVS too early and being town-leaderish (which also had other players calling me town for it, so take that with what grains of sodium you choose). The next few days had town hunting down the independent win condition, which worked out nicely for scum, and also had two vigs that ended up killing town both times. In the end town had mostly drawn battle lines between two separate possible pairings and there was only one scum amongst either pairing so that worked out pretty well. Mostly I ended up feeling guilty for being scum because I think I discovered I'm a town player at heart, probably more evidence is needed for that conclusion though. Still, a mostly fun game, some interesting discussion, meeting a couple new players I definitely want to play with again, and a win after a couple of losses makes this one an overall positive experience.

Mini	Ellibereth	Town	*Single* Shot Vig	Started	Lynched Day 5	Mafia Win
Apparently Fate thinks I'm a scummy seeming townie, egads! Must...alter...meta. In other news this was a game where town lynched accurately the first two days and then sort of slowly crumbled apart because of a Godfather who had been cleared both via actions and via Weak Cop. Good play by Fate and, really, good play by the town. I'm not sure if anyone really went "wrong" in this one, it just wasn't the day for town to win. Overall pretty fun, but like I joked in the beginning of this note, if my meta really is 'scummy town' I've *got* to work on that. Of course I've had other players call my meta too townie a lot, so maybe this is just Fate's take, who knows? I will admit I often feel as though I am hard to get suspicions onto, but once it's done I do tend to become an easy target - probably (hopefully) mostly still just newbie energy I can work on improving.

Newbie	Jeffcole1	Town	Vanilla	Replaced in Day 2	Killed Night 3	Town Victory
I'd felt a little "off" in some of my recent games and had wanted to revisit a Newbie game to re-polish myself a bit and see how my new game methods were affecting me. I came in strong and managed to clear a role that had previously been looking scummy and also pretty much accurately pegged the scum team and even almost managed to get conversation going somewhere away from the Day 2 mislych (a falseclaimed cop townie). Despite town losing time having to lynch him we came out of Day 2 with some good info and town managed to score both scum on consecutive lynches. I felt good that I was so townie (and accurate) that scum felt obligated to kill me before the other obv. town player and overall felt that some of my new gut-based methods played out well. Here's hoping they work for me in other games as well as they did here.

Newbie	Korejora	Town	Cop	Replaced in Night 2	Killed in Endgame	Mafia Win
Replaced into a heavily suspected cop who had claimed Day 1 (dorf!). I came in and fairly accurately pegged 1/2 of the scum team and also accurately cleared a townie under suspicion (though I was later talked out of it and began to legitimately suspect the player in question as scumbuddy to the first scum). Overall what I got from this was that my reads were actually pretty good and I was even able to generate a fair amount of content to get a slightly sluggish town talking again. Where I failed was in convincing the other townies to stop suspecting one another enough to listen to my case. Was my evidence too weak and/or gut focused? Were they too tunneled in to listen to me? I'll need to consider some of these issues moving forward since 100% accuracy in reads is useless if you can't get the rest of town to listen to you. T'was a fun game, I'm just sad we didn't get the win.

Mini Normal	esuriospiritus	Town	Vanilla	Started	Killed Night 2	Town Win
I actually pegged all three of the scum as my top three suspects Day 1 - though I shifted off of one of them later as I felt he'd been semi-cleared. Game was a bit odd due to deadline lynch mechanics, though we did blunder into a scum lynch that way. I really tried to sell my other strong scum read (the roleblocker) but was eventually pulled onto the wagon of neccesity at lynch. I suspect I died because they knew I'd be back on the RB next Day. Interesting game, good player base, marred by a few VI players and squabbles that made the endgame odd. I'm at least fairly content with my play while I was alive and it was good experience overall.
