Logo mafiascum medium.jpg This user plays Mafia. (Talk)

Uncle Pain is the cheesy nickname of a novice Mafia player. I’ve been a scummer since the beginning of 2008.

I came to MafiaScum by accident: xkcd is not only is a webcomic, but the author also has a blog there. In one post, he asked his readers to tell him games that could be played with only voice and memory. One of them, DrewMG, mentioned Mafia and shortly explained it. And then Sam came along and linked to mafiascum.net – and this is when I signed up and joined my first game…

Games finished

Newbie 545

  • Game thread
  • Game type: Pie E7
  • Mod: Thok
  • Time frame: Jan 11, 2008 – May 05, 2008
  • Game outcome: Town win after Day 3
  • Entry: original player
  • Role: Doctor
  • Fate: survived
  • Comments: My first game and I have a power role... I could have thought of better starts. Day 1 was interesting for me, getting some FoS’es and votes, so it all looked like I didn’t give away my role. The Day 1 lynch was the obligatory mislynch, but well, Wisp (Townie) really didn’t do so well. I realized that Rosso Carne (Cop), who played in an aggressive and short-worded way (and thus got my scumdar attention), was against the lynch, so my Night 1 choice was on him, hoping he could be the NK target... but it wasn’t him and I was roleblocked anyway, as it turned out later. Since this was Pie E7, this meant we were in five-player LYLO now. This was when I used probability math for the first time, BTW. Rosso Carne quickly came up with some strange plan, but no one understood or followed it, and soon he dropped out anyway. He was replaced by Miztef who soon claimed cop and gave his Night 1 result on WingsOWisdom (Townie). This breathed a new wind into the game: While Miztef had his eye (and vote) on Iammars (Goon), I had my HoS at Miztef, but in a drastic turnaround I voted Iammars due to his inactivity and my gut feeling – lucky gut feeling, that is. Funnily, it was his scumbuddy angelmouse (Mafia Roleblocker) that bussed and hammered him. My Night 2 choice was plainly stupid: I protected Miztef although it was obvious that he would be blocked rather than NK’ed. The confirmed townie WingsOWisdom was a much better choice to NK, but I didn’t realize this... so it was Miztef, angelmouse and me in the endgame. angelmouse and I immediately voted and attacked each other, making Miztef’s voting choice very hard, but he did the right thing and voted angelmouse. Hooray, first game won!
  • Lessons learned: Too many to mention.

Newbie 693

  • Game thread
  • Game type: F11
  • Mod: Vel-Rahn Koon
  • Time frame: Oct 27, 2008 – Nov 13, 2008
  • Game outcome: Town win after Day 2
  • Entry: original player
  • Role: Vanilla
  • Fate: survived
  • Comments: What a fast one! It began with random suspicions and soon emerged into strange reasonings from Wirodeu (Goon). The more he posted, the scummier he looked and the more votes he accumulated... until his buddy super random dude (Goon) decided to hammer him. And then Wirodeu did the biggest mistake scum can do: after being lynched, he linked himself to super random dude by calling him a “traitor”. What a hyperobvious tell and yet I only HoS’ed super random dude on Day 2. But Crazy (Cop) was clever enough to investigate him, so he claimed and told us his scummy result. Quicklynch, perfect town win, yay!
  • Lessons learned: Don’t underestimate links. (after the game Vel-Rahn Koon showed us important linking clues that I dismissed as random fluff but turned out to be pretty telling)

Newbie 674 - Mafia Malaise

  • Game thread
  • Game type: F11
  • Mod: Rishi
  • Time frame: Sep 08, 2008 – Mar 11, 2009
  • Game outcome: Town win after Day 4
  • Entry: replacement for arch2ngel during Day 2
  • Role: Vanilla
  • Fate: survived
  • Comments: I sincerely hope that I’ll never have such a exhausting game again: four months (for me), 750+ posts (including CorvuusAmazing Wall o' Text posts), twelve replacements in total, often low activity. And still the game was extremely interesting and balanced.
    It all began with a Day 1 full of newbieness, flaking, No Lynch votes and finally the usual mislynch. Funnily, the NK was on Sudo_Nym (Vanilla) who was totally inactive… I wonder what the Mafia thought of this choice. On Day 2, Mr_Adams (Goon) quickly slipped, but Thunder (Vanilla) and Corvuus (Goon) were busy with each other in a very long ad hominem argument full of Amazing Wall o'Text. This was about the time when I replaced into the game. Things got calmer eventually and everyone realized that Mr_Adams was the correct lynch – finally. PsychoSniper (Doctor), who has quickly become the most valuable town player during the game, was NK’ed in the following Night and so we had to find the second scum with five players. This is when Empking (Vanilla) replaced in and posted some strange stuff. The fact that he was actually evading question made me hammer him on Day 3. Well, and then it became quiet: although it was three players left, only Corvuus and I were active and our mod had a hard time getting replacements willing to join a Day-4-page-28-huge-posts game. We almost agreed on just lynching the flaking Stef (Vanilla) to get over with the game… but then Rhinox replaced in and totally changed the whole situation: we were suddenly three active players, each one suspecting the others. At first Rhinox concentrated on me and basically destroyed my argumentations; when he took a look at Corvuus, Corvuus attacked him, which finally led to both of them voting each other. I had the hard choice to tell who of them was scummier and I was so unsure… until I realized how much Corvuus was buddying me up all the time since friggin' Day 2! I voted him, and I voted well.
  • Lessons learned: Never trust anyone, and be suspicious of anyone else who trusts you. Large posts are a null tell. Rishi is a patient, committed mod, which is very valuable in games like these.
