About the StrangerCoug

Note that the word "the" is not officially part of my user name and is therefore lowercase unless it starts a sentence, and it is incorrect to address me as "the StrangerCoug". It is acceptable to refer to me as "the StrangerCoug", however.

My name is Jeffrey Hope. I was born on December 26, 1989 in Virginia Beach, VA, but I grew up in El Paso, TX and still live there. Sometimes I think I want to get out of here—I'm so bored of this place! In fact, anytime I'm more than 50 miles away, I'm happy.

I first played Mafia as a forum game on a site called Rooster Teeth. I've made myself quite an established presence there, playing every round except for the first, though I am currently trying to get to be the game moderator there. When I came over to MafiaScum (via my browsing around on Wikipedia) and signed up on May 6, 2008, one of the biggest things I noticed different is that, on MafiaScum, all votes are viewable to the public and can be changed by the person making them. On Rooster Teeth you had to send a PM to the game moderator, and once he recorded it you were not allowed to change it (as far as I know, anyway). I'm still trying to cope with the differences, but I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

Origin of the name

As I said, I first played Mafia on Rooster Teeth. The first time I signed up as StrangerCoug was on there. As seems to be commonplace on that site, most usernames have something to do with one of the machinima series, especially Red vs. Blue. Only the former was true in my case: my addiction was to The Strangerhood since, when I started watching the videos and visiting the site, I didn't have a computer that would work with The Sims 2. When I finally decided to join their forums, I implemented the fact that I liked those videos in my user name by making it a portmanteau of that and my high school mascot, which happened to be the cougar. I tried to make my name StrangerCougar, but the site only allowed names to be a 12-letter maximum. I left it as what could fit, and on December 30, 2005, the name as we know it was born.

1 I'd post links to the start and end of each game, but linking to the site sets off the spam filter. I could work around it by using a different sub-domain (since it's the same forum on all of them, just a different color scheme for all I care), but I'm not going to. As compensation, I used post numbers from the game thread instead. Go on Rooster Teeth's site, then click on "The Forum" under "Community", then click on "Forum Games" under "Rock Bottom", then look for the Mafia thread in there.
2 There is no such thing as replacements on Rooster Teeth. Not showing up is pretty much an opportunity for the Mafia to kill you.
3 Well, the cop and bodyguard (their term for a cop) can't be killed on Rooster Teeth. It is made known at the start of the game who they are, though.
4 I somehow managed to be the only person not exposed as Mafia by the cop. If one of my lynch votes had gone through, though, the story that would have been posted would have made it very easy to figure me out. (The "deleted scene" from it is still my favorite, though.)
5 That is, a vanilla.
