About Erg0

Erg0 joined mafiascum.net on 26 Feb 2007 after being introduced to the game by Vel-Rahn Koon (amongst others) on another website. He is living proof that bravado is no substitute for experience. He also enjoys writing about himself in the third person. One day, he would like to be good enough to actually have a playstyle. He is aware that his forum name is not terribly original.

Newbie 321: Contact with the Mob	Mr. Flay	Townie	Lynched D3	Mafia Win
A very good game for a Newbie, with Zindaras (scum) winning the trust of Mr Stoofer (doctor) by not NKing him after outing him during twilight on Day 1, then getting townies lynched on Days 2 and 3 despite scummy play on Day 1. Lesson learned: being right is no use if you can't persuade people to believe you.
Mini 423: Calvin & Hobbes	Mr Stoofer	Hobbes' Tuna Sandwich (Townie)	Eaten N2	Mafia Win	Replaced remussaidow Day 1
A hidden mountainous game (2 scum, 10 vanilla townies), in which one of the scum (EmpTyger) was lynched Day 1, leaving VitaminR to play the majority of the game as the lone scum, pulling out an impressive win. This was my second game on Mafiascum, and contained a number of the site's more accomplished players, making it an excellent accelerated learning tool. My own play wasn't terrific, though I take some solace in having VitR in my top 3 suspects before being killed Night 2.
Open 22: Roleblocker C9	Patrick	Townie	Endgamed D3	Mafia Win	Replaced beanbagboy Day 2
Replaced in LyLo after the town's only power role, a roleblocker, was lynched D1. Found one scum, but guessed wrong on a tossup between an active player with circumstantial scumtells and a lurker on Day 3 (it was the lurker). Every player still alive on Day 2 was eventually replaced - the second scum made it to Day 3 with only three posts for the entire game. Not the result that this setup deserved.
Mini 431: Happy Normal Mafia	HurriKaty	Townie	Alive D2	Abandoned
Game killed Day 2 due to Metatron (the Godfather) outing himself and the other two scum in the thread after he was bussed to a deadline lynch by his buddies.
Newbie 397	Glork	Cop	Survived	Town Win!
My first winning result on Mafiascum, which I almost screwed up on Day 2 by putting a townie at lynch -1, only switching my vote to one of the scum after LoudmouthLee (the doctor) yelled at me. He protected me Night 2, allowing me to find the second scum and finish things from there. A very valuable learning experience.
Assassins in the Palace	Kelly Chen	King	Survived	Palace (Town) Win!
Something a bit different. This game was nightless and had 2 kings, 2 assassins and 10 guards (townies), with the assassins trying to kill the kings and the guards trying to protect them. Each time an assassin was lynched they had an opportunity to make one or two vig-style kill(s). Turned into a bit of a wagon-fest, then a crapshoot at the end, and I was lucky that the last assassin killed the other king but missed me. An interesting experiment, but probably not a viable format unless all of the townies are on the same page strategy-wise.
Open 33: Crush Mafia	Rand Althor	Mafia Goon	Survived	Mafia Win!
A C9 game with a lyncher, lynchee and vengeful-style Godfather. I was scum with somestrangeflea, who was the GF. Plagued by inactivity for most of the first day, leading to a dubious deadline lynch of a player with only two votes. We killed JDodge (the lyncher) Night 1, leaving the way clear for a quicklynch when a townie voted first on Day 2. JDodge really likes to be reminded of this game. My first game as scum on Mafiascum.
Mini 470: Some Guys Are Trying To Kill You	Maz Medias	Townie	Endgamed D5	Mafia Win	Nominated for 'Most Enjoyable Mini' in 2007 Scummies
Quite the up and down game - we were in LyLo by Day 2 with the cop and vig dead, and it appeared we'd need to lynch correctly three times in a row to win. We came back to lynch scum on the next two days and the doctor got a successful protect on Night 3. This left us with 5 players, one of which was a confirmed mason and one of which was scum. Thinking we would be in a strong position on Day 5, we gave the claimed doctor the benefit of the doubt and lynched the next suspect in line, who turned out to be a townie. As expected, the scum killed the doctor on Night 4 and we were left with three players, one of whom was confirmed town. Unfortunately, it turned out that the last remaining scum had a daykill power...
Mini 454: Candy Mafia	ShadowLurker	Tootsie Rolls (Townie)	Killed N4	RRSC Mafia Win
An interesting setup with two two-player scumgroups, none of whom knew who their partners were at the start of the game. Unfortunately, two mislynches and four townie nightkills left the town in a practically unwinnable position on Day 3, and the rest of the game was a runoff between the two groups of scum. Enjoyable for the first two days, though I felt like the collective scum and some misleading flavour had too much influence over the town's chances of winning. I was just happy that Stewie caught on to what was happening and didn't lynch me on the last day.
Mini 493: Methodical Mafia	Mr Stoofer	Mafia	Lynched D4	Town Win
An experimental game in which all players with power roles submitted a list of night actions prior to day 1, and were bound by this for the remainder of the game. I came disturbingly close to being Glorked at deadline on day 1, and had to scramble like crazy to hang on. One of my buddies went down to the SK on night 1, then the other was lynched day 2 due to an unlucky break on his claim. I managed to get the SK lynched on day 3, but I was targeted by two cops and a roleblocker that night, so it was curtains for me the following day. Not a bad game overall, though I wasn't super-happy with my play.
BM's Mystery Mafia	Battle Mage	??	Killed N2	Ongoing

Open 51: Texas Justice Mafia	FeRnAnDo	??	Killed N1	Ongoing
Mini 504: PEGBAM Mafia	pickemgenius/Flameaxe	Townie	Killed N3	Mafia Win	Replaced poppinpuffin Day 2
Pretty much a guest appearance, as I replaced in at the end of day 2 and was killed after a pretty quick day 3. Karen's townie self-hammer on day 3 really killed the town's chances in this game.

Open 31: Yoguraimee C9	Completed	Mafia Win	My first Mafiascum modding gig!
A modified C9 with two cops and one doctor. Town came up with a good plan to improve their odds, but were unlucky in their choices, and a good bluff by the scum gave them the win before the second cop even posted his result on day 2.
