Introduction

I am Jeffrey Hope, your resident village idiot (unfortunate as that is). I was born on December 26, 1989 in Virginia Beach, VA, but I grew up in El Paso, TX and moved to Chaparral, NM a short distance away in early 2009. 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 mod a lot of games—both Mafia and Mish Mash. Examples of both include Card Sharks, Go Play in Traffic!, Monopoly (three such games, actually—the U.S. and U.K. versions and a Mafia game based on the former), and the StrangerCoug's Worst Nightmare series.

On top of all that, I also once helped MeMe keep both mini queues up to date. While this was once an on-and-off "Hey, this is messed up" kind of thing, I officially became responsible for updating it on January 13, 2009. (MeMe still fills up games, nags at mods who fall off the face of the site, etc.) In 2010, I became list mod of the Large Normals, but left that position the next year feeling that I was being negligent in my duties.

My scumday is May 6, 2008, but due to time zone differences the "is having a scumday!" marker doesn't show up until May 7. (Interesting factoid: A similar situation applies to my birthday. I was born at approximately 00:30 EST, which converts to 22:30 MST the previous day.)

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.

You will sometimes see "the StrangerCoug", especially when I'm referring to myself in the third person, but the word "the" is not officially part of my user name and is therefore lowercase unless it starts a sentence. Addressing me as "The StrangerCoug" is incorrect.

MafiaScum.net was the last site on which I signed up as StrangerCoug when I still had a cougar to call a mascot; however, since August 2007 it has also been my fursona. (Yes, I'm a furry. Get over it.)

Playing History

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 and the seventh, being the game moderator in the latter. 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 knew, anyway). I have now adapted to both, and I actually think the game on here is more fun. The Rooster Teeth Mafia thread is seeing some changes to bring it a bit closer to what it's like here on MafiaScum, however (days and nights were numbered à la this site in rounds 7 and 8, though they've reverted to being unnumbered).

Avatar History

The only part of my page that I consistently bother to update these days xD

Due to the spam filter, neither the actually-used avatars nor the full-size versions are linked anymore. I can hunt for these if you want them, though. (All of the original images are safe for work. You wouldn't want me to scar you for life, would you? >_^)

  • Peaceful Falls, May 6 to August 14, 2008: This is my first MafiaScum avatar. It is a crop of a fursona I drew myself, sometimes called Fursona 5 since it's the fifth one that's been made for me. It's only the second one for myself that I drew, though.
I lost the full-size version shortly after this was drawn after my flash drive disappeared from a library, but I do still have an otherwise complete version.
  • Watch Your Back!, August 14 to October 24, 2008: My second MafiaScum.net avatar, which took awhile to make the way I wanted it. I think I did a good job with what I could, though. I made this because I didn't want to use a cartoony avatar on MS anymore.
  • Clumsily Blue, October 24 to December 6, 2008: This image, another fursona drawing of mine (my eighth), wasn't intended to ever be my avatar, but it was too cute in my opinion to resist the temptation to upload it.
  • Christmas Fursona, December 6 to 28, 2008; November 27 to December 27, 2009; and November 26 to December 28, 2010: My Christmas avatar for 2008. Note that I normally do not draw my fursona with a bow on his tail—this is specific to this avatar. I also normally put a watch on his right wrist, but I had a hard time drawing it right, so I just took it out.
  • Enya, December 28, 2008 to March 3, 2009: My fifth avatar for MafiaScum, which you may remember as the one stuck on this Wiki page before I changed the formatting for my avatar history. Credit for this image goes to the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL. (Enya is what they named the cougar pictured here, by the way).
  • New Outfit, March 3 to April 7, 2009; April 20 to May 17, 2009; and July 5 to August 30, 2009: So named because I changed its clothes. The version seen originally had what was officially a vest but is probably better described from the way I drew it as a sports jacket that was black with purple trim, blue jeans, and black shoes; this one has a purple Hawaiian shirt with a black and yellow palm tree pattern, khaki shorts, and black flip-flops. No other changes were made to it.
  • StrangerCoug is Back in Town, April 7 to 20, 2009: Made to celebrate my return to the site after it took awhile for my Internet to get hooked up after my move. This is intentionally a scary-looking avatar—it's another cougar picture I had on my computer cropped, darkened, and with text added on top of it.
  • Cougar Licking Paw, May 17 to July 5, 2009: At one time my wallpaper, though it has since changed.
  • Florida Panther, August 30, 2009 to November 27, 2009: Just something I found online to use as I grew tired of having the New Outfit avatar up.
  • The Cat with the Sword, December 27, 2009 to March 27, 2010 and April 29 to August 8, 2010: Intended to be a somewhat scary avatar, this is the second time my fursona has held a weapon. The first one, which has never been seen on MafiaScum.net, was a flamethrower, which is an interesting note because in The Cat with the Sword, the background is on fire.
  • Cougar picture from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, March 27 to April 29, 2010: This one's a picture of a cougar from the jungle, something I rarely see. (It's also from one of only two 1920×1080 cougar pictures I know of, and I found it while looking for a wallpaper.)
  • Relaxed cougar, August 8 to November 26, 2010 and December 28, 2010 to January 29, 2011: Nothing really special. Something I felt like uploading.
  • Wisconsin cougar, January 29 to May 8, 2011: A rarity; according to where I got it, only the second confirmed one since the early 1900s.
  • Cougar drinking, May 8 to July 31, 2011: I don't remember how I got this one—it was apparently on my computer when it crashed in the fall of 2009 and this came up from the files I salvaged from it.
  • Catfight, July 31, 2011 to the present: This is drawn for an art trade sometime prior to when I uploaded this and I hadn't gotten around to uploading the avatar from now. In case you're wondering about the title, in the full-size image my fursona is fighting a tiger.

Mafia games outside MafiaScum.net

I do play Mafia on sites other than MafiaScum. Those recorded below:

Rooster Teeth

This is the site I played Mafia on before I came here. It took awhile to adapt to the site because of several major differences between the game there and here, most notably:

  • The game pace is much faster on Rooster Teeth. From the start of the game day to the next one was one week for the first two rounds and alternating three and four days thereafter.
  • Voting is private and the mod does not give vote counts, but he or she does sometimes give hints about the latter. Unvotes are now allowed as of RT 8, though. Because votes are not public knowledge, it's common for the Mafia to all vote one person, and lynches in which only the Mafia participated have happened.
  • Not only the lynch but the night kill is voted on. For obvious reasons, only the Mafia gets to vote on the night kill.
  • The first two rounds were night starts, but every round since RT 3 has been a day start.
  • There is always at least a sane Day Cop (simply called the Cop) and a Bodyguard (in MafiaScum terms, actually the doctor); in most but not all games, both are known. however, other power roles have been experimented with.
  • Replacement players do not exist (although one almost happened the round after I left). In more recent rounds, inactive players, defined as someone who did not send in a Mafia hit or vote for two lynch cycles, were marked as "in a coma" and treated as not playing until they did send in a vote.
  • The setup, which has always been open, was a 22-player game with 10 Civilians, 10 Mafia, the Cop, and the Bodyguard in RT 1 and 2. The number of players is now variable and the ratio of civilians to Mafiosi is no longer one to one (for obvious reasons).
  • It is possible for players to get hints from other player's posts in thread; however, the majority of the hints come from the storyline, which in turn often involve the profiles of those playing. The most helpful hints are the cop investigations given the information in the fourth bullet above.
  • Speaking of the story lines, they are often longer and much more detailed than those found on MafiaScum.

I announced my retirement from Rooster Teeth Mafia (at least for the moment) on December 27, 2008 due to my inability to keep up with the game. However, I still watch the Mafia thread so I can update the information here.

Statistics

Please note the following:

  • All dates are written in year-month-day format and given in Mountain Time. Mountain Standard Time is GMT–07:00; Mountain Daylight Time is GMT–06:00.
  • I no longer count abandoned games as draws, nor do I any longer assume my role would have been neutral if I never got it.
  • Games I replaced out of count, down to anything happening to my replacement also happening to me.
  • This tends to be updated only every once in awhile. The last time I went through everything was 2010-08-20. (My modded games are still out of date; I'll get to that soon.)
  • I think some of the numerical stats are wrong, but all entries should be there and show correct stats.

MafiaScum.net

Of the 7 games listed still in progress, I am still alive in 5 and have a replacement for me alive in 0. 2 games I've been in have been abandoned.

Newbie 602 JDodge replaced by Mr. Flay 2008-04-23 2008-09-03 Iceall during Day 1 Lynched Day 3, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: I replaced in soon after I got lynched in Newbie 614, so I came off as one that was worrying too much about my actions (which is true, so I don't blame the town). I tried to use my improving since I replaced in as a defense Day 3 since this particular game being slow allowed for me to play better elsewhere, but it didn't help.
Newbie 614 Thok 2008-05-18 2008-06-30 Lynched Day 1, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: I consider this game a blunder on my part. I got way too emotional, ended up with a fight with ChannelDelibird and Crazy, and found myself with a noose around my neck. I think you get the idea.
Newbie 630 Thok 2008-06-16 2008-10-04 Endgamed, was the doctor Mafia wins
Comments: I was nearly lynched Day 1 and was forced to claim to save myself. I made it to lynch-or-lose despite heavy suspicion towards me (specifically, speculating about the event of my being counterclaimed). Scum opted to keep me alive and roleblock me from then on to look for the doc. I took a gamble on raider8169 being scum, which I thought was going to pay off seeing as a quicklynch wasn't happening, but scum was slow to coordinate a quicklynch, and according to them in the post-game discussion, I was online the one time they otherwise could.

Mini 591: Re-Infiltration somestrangeflea 2008-04-24 2008-07-07 PsychoBob during Day 1 Endgamed, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: My first game and what I still think is one of my best played despite my losing. I felt very nervous during lynch-or-lose as I was the one left to cast the deciding vote. Talmadge Monroe successfully escaped my suspicion for the entire game, so I picked killa seven over him mostly for pojedinac's actions and ended up losing.
Mini 601: Cog City: Trouble Below Incognito 2008-05-21 2008-07-30 Lynched Day 3, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: Note to self: Don't hammer the vigilante and then come to an impasse over a specific player being town or scum. Damn Oman for screwing with my mind to the point of getting me lynched.
Mini 604: Mayor's Mansion ooba 2008-05-24 2008-07-17 clockwork during Day 1 Lynched Day 1, was a vanilla townie Town wins
Comments: This is another game I consider myself to have blundered in; however, I was the only mislynch and the town was VERY lucky to get a win. Read it if you don't believe me.
Mini 618: Farside of the moon farside22 2008-06-19 2008-07-28 Lynched Day 1, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: Perfect scum win. I got lynched for my tunnel vision on Doktor Per Day 1, he in turn got lynched Day 2, and the serial killer got lynched Day 3. Bam, bam, bam.
Mini 624 Hypatia 2008-06-27 2008-10-02 Lynched Day 5, was a Mafia goon Town wins
Comments: I didn't make myself look too suspicious in the early game; however, I mistook Battousai's cop claim as a counterclaim against me since he voted me right after I faked tracker. After I realized it, I thought I was "royally screwed over" and voted myself. Thinking that I was stalling the game after doing so, I unvoted and went after who I thought was playing particuarly scummy. On Night 4, I thought Battousai would investigate me (he did), and I tried to divert suspicion from by leaving him alive and hoping he was naïve (he was). Even though I tried to cast suspicion on Battousai in doing so, my primary targets were still Wumbo and Cass. Part of what got me lynched was that three cops, a tracker, a forensic investigator, and four vanilla townies versus two Mafia goons and a Mafia roleblocker (I lied about being roleblocked and a massclaim blew up my "roleblocker is town" theory) made no sense. Not too bad, but I think I could have done better.
Mini 630: The Council of Eville Dean Harper backed up by Macavenger 2008-07-12 2008-10-19 Lynched Day 3, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: Night 1 was pretty weird to me. Neither attempted kill that night went through—the vigilante tried to kill me for what I think was my OMGUSy attitude early Day 1 but got roleblocked, and the doctor protected the Mafia target, which ironically was the traitor. I was lynched Day 3 mainly for my radical change of play since Day 1 (from panicky to relatively calm) and that I was the most likely to be the roleblocker. Another flawless victory by scum.
Mini 654 springlullaby 2008-08-14 Game called, role never received Mod abandoned
Comments: The mod says that she broke her laptop and was unable to get an Internet connection from where she was staying when she got it fixed. This was re-entered into the queue as Mini 743: Sanity Ensues Mafia (strangely, with one fewer player), which the Mafia won.
Mini 677: Powerball Mafia clammy backed up by jas 2008-09-24 2009-03-04 (I think) Lynched Day 2, was a Democratic Mafia framer Town wins
Comments: I bussed BlakAdder on Day 1, leaving me on my own and in a dangerous position for the rest of the game. At the time, I had never won a game as the last Mafia standing in a faction, and I had a long time to go without being killed. I claimed a possibly paranoid cop with a guilty on UnofficialRulerOfEveryone in an attempt to save myself, but I started Day 2 saying my top suspect was someone else, which proceeded to be the end of me.

The backup moderator's name should be enclosed in square brackets; however, using them messes up the Wiki formatting. Also, the link goes to UnofficialRulerOfEveryone's lynch because the mod didn't post a final death scene; just changed the title.

Mini 698: Georgetown Mafia Huntress 2008-10-27 2009-04-01 Lynched Day 1, was a Mafia roleblocker Mafia win
Comments: Somewhat of a converse of Mini 604. I was lynched on Day 1 as the only casualty on my side. Towards the end of the day, I was almost certain of an Apothecary lynch, but the wagon suddenly swang toward my direction, and when I found that I couldn't talk myself out of it, I self-hammered on the premise that "town shouldn't lynch a claimed doctor on Day 1". It worked well—the person I was hoping to set up for a Day 2 lynch happened to be lynched on Day 2, and the real doctor was lynched on Day 3.
Mini 714: Have Fun Mafia BridgesAndBaloons 2008-12-05 2009-04-17 alexhans during Day 2 alexhans survived, was a Mafia one-shot roleblocker Mafia wins
Comments: I'm surprised my replacement made it to endgame. I claimed full roleblocker on Day 1 partially because I thought it'd give me better town cred than truthfully claiming one-shot and partially because I was planning on being bussed on Day 2. I understand the rough condition alexhans found himself in, and I feel he did well.
Mini 765: Welcome to Hambargarville hambargarz 2009-03-28 2009-06-03 Burfy during Day 1 Killed Night 2, was a vanilla townie Mafia wins
Comments: This is the first perfect Mafia win of which I was on the losing side where I was nightkilled instead of lynched. Normally, I'm too scummy to warrant being nightkilled, but looking at the Mafia QuickTopic gives me reason to believe that I was too dangerous to warrant being kept alive. I had voted one of the scum (Kreriov) on Day 2 and had been voicing suspicions of another (Sajin). I never suspected X, though.

Mini 842: Less Flavor than English Food zoraster 2009-09-01 2009-10-09 Survived, was a Mafia goon Mafia win
Comments: I was lucky to make it out of this game in one piece! There was a lot of suspicion thrown around about me, and Benmage specifically was attacking me heavily. He did it for the wrong reasons, however, and there was never a completely solid case formed on me. Benmage actually helped me win, but not in the way I had planned—I wanted him lynched, but he had a more solid case on xRECKONERx than I had on him. Despite being a fisherman and potentially a danger on Night 3, I left xRECKONERx around as I felt he was suspicious enough to warrant having him as an alternate mislynch route, and I'm glad I kept that route open. The coup de grâce for the town that, according to the mod, was too focused on winning was xRECKONERx failing to fully claim the details of his role and the town assuming a 9:2:1 (ironically, something I warned Benmage not to do).

Mini 945: Mafia in Bawlmer Konowa replaced by Amished 2010-03-26 2010-06-02 Lynched Day 5, was a Mafia bulletproof goon Mafia wins
Comments: This game was CLOSE! I thought for sure we were done for when MacavityLock and I got jailkept three nights in a row, keeping either of us from killing. Day 5 ended up being a showdown between Cyberbob and me (me being pretty much the aggressor), and after MacavityLock came up with our endgame plan (he was an encryptor, so privately relaying this to me was legal), I quietly accepted my lynch.

Mini 620: Psychopathic Xyzzy Mod xyzzy 2008-06-28 2008-07-15 Lynched Day 2, was JEEP (scum) Town wins
Comments: This was unusual to say the least. Everybody had the post restriction that the 100th post by a player would modkill them, so we took to posting once or twice a day and covering as much as possible in our posts. I misunderstood my role and thought I was town until my scumbuddy PM'd me otherwise (we were allowed to talk during the day). Given my frequent posting on this site even then, the mod was surprised that I didn't spam the thread so I could submit a nightkill.
Mini 631: Mental War Mafia Nocmen 2008-07-14 2008-09-06 Killed Night 1, was the auditory system (scum disease accessor) Scum disease wins
Comments: One of the most confusing games I've ever played. The mod created a secret account for ashmite84 and me called Dialects, which for the purposes of the game was neutral. I thought Dialects was scum aligned, so there were times that I was voting him, and I made some scummy comments on the Dialects account on purpose. I also wasn't clearly sure what I was and was not allowed to do with the Dialects account. I was not told who was scum with me, nor were the other two scum told I was on their side; therefore, I tried to nightkill ashmite84 specifically for breaking the game when I didn't know I did not have a kill, so my death took everybody by surprise.
Mini 644: Meerkat Manor Mafia Rishi 2008-07-31 2008-10-10 Evicted Day 4, was Mozart (Whiskers, vanilla townie) Whiskers win
Comments: Were it not for curiouskarmadog's fakeclaim (among other things), we would probably have lost. curiouskarmadog, who I had been going after for a good bit of Day 3, fakeclaimed serial killer cop with a guilty on me Day 4. My only weapons against him were a specific scummy action of his and my idea of the setup at the time, which turned out to be dead on. Even though I knew it didn't matter in which order curiouskarmadog and I were lynched, I felt it against the spirit of the game to just give up and die solely to prove him wrong. I was lynched first, but in hindsight I don't think I was lynched in vain—it exposed curiouskarmadog's lie, and he self-hammered Day 5 to give us the win.
Mini 658: Facedown and Thirsty Mafia yellowbounder 2008-08-20 2008-10-28 Lynched Day 4, was a Tragic Love Story (town) Mafia wins
Comments: Perfect scum win AGAIN. Way to set me up to fall and get you a win, Kairyuu. This is my second consecutive LYLO loss where I was the mislynch that cost the game, the first being Mini 630. If it's any consolation, though, my title "Does not Compute" comes from this game (iamausername said that I put him "in mind of a robot attempting to emulate human behaviour").

Mini 740: Communiqué Mafia 2 dahill1 2009-02-02 2009-05-19 hohum during Day 2 who replaced bubbles21112 during Day 1 Strangled Night 5, was a vanilla townie Mafia win
Comments: I liked the concept of communiqués, but please remind me NOT to play another no-reveal game! This game dragged, and playing "follow the leader" (in this case Juls isn't exactly a good way to play Mafia. I was tempted to replace out and allow hohum his spot back!

I was the last male player in the game when I was nightkilled.

Mini 774: Case Closed Mafia Gorrad 2009-04-09 2009-06-09 Lynched Day 5, was Sumiko Kobayashi/Akako Koizumi (serial killer) Town wins
Comments: This was a close game! I was playing pretty well for most of it and thought I had the endgame in the bag due to a particularly scummy townie, but got nabbed by the watcher in an effective gambit on Night 4 (he faked vanilla townie and marked one of the three people alive at the time as towniest hoping for that person to be nightkilled; it worked).

The mod was surprised I admitted to being a "witch" and wasn't lynched until LYLO given my kill method being "magic'd".

In case you're curious, the second name in my role was the role I would become if targeted by the role changer. I would have remained a serial killer, but Kaito Kuroba would have been the only male character in the game able to stop my kill.

Mini 786: Disney-Dreamworks Mafia LlamaFluff 2009-05-03 2009-07-16 Lynched Day 5, was Po from Kung-Fu Panda (vanilla townie) Mafia win
Comments: I have mixed opinions about how this game turned out. Specifically, I expected to be lynched, but not as late in the game as I was. I was very panicky, and in three-person LYLO I felt Green Crayons did little to convince semioldguy that I was scum while I should have been able to peg Green Crayons as trying to secure a win when he ended up hammering the Mafia traitor.
Mini 798: Unreal Tournament Mafia Tarhalindur 2009-05-24 2009-05-27 Lethal damage taken, was Jacob (race cop) Mafia win
Comments: This is the fastest non-RL game of Mafia that I have played. I was shot by kuribo pretty much for threatening to shoot Xylthixlm (who turned out to be one of the SK's) with the redeemer with no regard to even my own life. I signed up for this game pretty much because I wanted to play another Tarhalindur bastard mod game, and I think that with some of the weapons in the game, I think it qualifies as a bastard mod game xD
Mini 825: Hip Hop Mafia TonyMontana 2009-07-28 2009-05-27 Endgamed, was Snoop Dogg (crip/one-shot daytime vigilante) Gangstas win
Comments: I cost the town the game by assuming Fuzzyman's claim of jailkeeper constantly targeting me to be correct—he was actually a godfather. I do not know why I was view as suspicious toward the end.

According to EmpTyger, the Portuguese Mafia and the American serial killer won as well due to mod error.

Comments: Remind me not to play games with the possibility of a cult again—this is my least favorite of those in which I've played. The cult got big enough for the town to forget about winning, and once that point came around the game stopped being fun to even READ.

Comments: I know very little about this game—in fact, despite my still having it on watch, I didn't even know it was over until December 6. I asked for a replacement because I found the game too confusing. It is not known who, if anybody, took my spot since the mod didn't announce when replacements took effect—I was simply told to just hurry up and post.
Traitor Mafia Skrmlx (Skruffs and armlx) 2008-09-19 2009-01-10 Survived, was a Mafia goon Mafia wins
Comments: My being declared the winner was delayed a bit because forbiddanlight's hammering killa seven and my celebrating my victory were both deleted in the database loss (the final vote count was me, Illumina, and forbiddanlight in that order voting killa seven, who in turn was voting Illumina). After some debate, the mod declared that I had technically won, though it took him awhile to figure out what exactly had happened.

I'm still annoyed by the fact that my scumbuddies all proceeded to get themselves modkilled for inactivity on Day 4, but I'm still proud of my first win as last scum standing. I think what helped is that iLord, a player I thought was dangerous to me, flipped traitor to my surprise when I killed him Night 4 and the town proceeded to think that he wouldn't be bussing me.

The Price Is Right Mafia xyzzy 2008-10-21 2008-12-17 or 2008-12-18 Game called, was a vanilla townie Abandoned by the moderator
Comments: There wasn't an exactly announced moment that the game was called (which is why I didn't post links), just a 24-hour notice given 2008-12-16T23:22:46–07:00 followed by a title change to declare it abandoned. The concept of "townhunting" (as opposed to scumhunting) appears not to have been well-liked, from what I recall playing.

Comments: According to the mod in the post-game discussion, town did not defend themselves when attacked, making mislynches pretty easy. I realized Night 2 that the only chance town had was for the remaining Mafia and one of us to kill each other, and the Mafioso had a better chance of killing one of us than the other way around. Voodo, my scumbuddy, correctly guessed that DizzyIzzyB13 was the last Mafia, and she in turn killed Greasy Spot, giving us the win.

Comments: I was at one time surprised I lived to see lynch-or-lose since I was driven to claim on Day 1 for vote hopping, but since I was naming whom I intended to vig out loud the day before, the Mafia kept me around after they failed an attempt to kill me. This is still my favorite role out of those in the games I have completed, however, and I'm a big fan of the setup.

Comments: Town was pretty lucky—we had not one, but two successful doc saves, one of which effectively cleared me (which makes me happy since farside22 got a lot of rap for her actions). An obvious fakeclaim plus the town guessing right on a 50:50 chance helped in what I think was my easiest game ever.

Open 96: Carbon-14 -TinVision- 2008-11-01 2008-11-22 Lynched Day 3, was a Mafia goon Town wins
Comments: It was luck more than skill that drove the later part of this game—to quote my scumbuddy, popsofctown, "the town actually failed into success". Basically, I faked seer and claimed that popsofctown was guilty—which of course I knew he was, but the problem is that seers are supposed to get guilty results on werewolves, not Mafia. The real seer, Kublai Khan, did not counterclaim me until after the vote to lynch popsofctown was cast, and his flip confirmed me as scum.

popsofctown was upset at the loss and accused me of being a quitter given my Day 3 actions after the game ended. My explanation is that I could only win Day 3 if the town wasn't paying attention, which, even in hindsight, I feel is a cheap way to go about it.

Open 98: Bird C9 roffman 2008-11-08 2008-11-23 Survived, was a vanilla townie Town wins
Comments: The first part of the game was slow, but I think the endgame is proof that I'm getting better at this game. The person left to cast the final vote of the game thought that I was the more consistent of his two options while the other was too dismissive of my arguments, and I'm proud of my first win at LYLO.

Comments: This game was unusual, both in the number of people on from another site and the number of modkills for inactivity and replacements needed. It eventually got a point where I lost the will to keep playing and decided the most pro-town thing for me to do was to get the hell out. I liked this setup when I first played it, which is why I signed up for it again, but something feels lacking here =(

Outside MafiaScum.net

Of the 0 games listed still in progress, I am still alive in 0 and have a replacement for me alive in 0. 1 game I've been in have been abandoned.

The Rooster Teeth player lists reveal the cop (and, depending on the round, the bodyguard) at the start of the game AND player alignments upon investigation. However, I follow the same practice for these games as MafiaScum games—as long as I'm alive, the player status will say "Still alive" and no mention will be made of my role until that is no longer true.

Comments: Even if you ignore the activity problems this game had early on (I had to go find seven replacements on Day 1!), I am amazed at how unusually fast this game was. I was disappointed by the game balance, but still had fun modding it.

Comments: When MeMe instead of I updated the queues on October 11, 2009, she put MonkeyMan576 as modkilled on Day 1, not Raivann, and I didn't notice the error until the 15th. I felt it unfair to continue as both of them were goons, so I asked MeMe what to do. She said to call it, and I did.

Mini 742: Monopoly Mafia StrangerSSK (StrangerCoug and MafiaSSK) 2009-02-06 2009-06-04 Town wins
Comments: This game was started while I was out Internet access from late January to mid-April 2009. I didn't keep good track of the night actions, but I tried, and I think most if not all of them are there.

This game became dangerously close to abandoned on Day 1—my already limited Internet access was essentially crippled after my move, and MafiaSSK had forgotten the password to the modding account.

Illinois Avenue, the most frequently landed on property in the board game, was coincidentally the role we had to replace most often in the Mafia game.

Mini 830: Time Bomb Mafia StrangerCoug backed up by X 2009-08-10 2009-09-03 Mafia win
Comments: I was worried about what I had done at the end, so I asked the players what the biggest contributor to a town loss was—the response I got was the activity levels. I think I could have helped by being a tad more vigilant on prodding players like I was in Mini 716 and Mafia 91, but I don't know how effective that would have been given the lynch-all-lurkers attitude that developed. All in all, not a bad game, and one I would run again with a couple tweaks.

This game was the third of three in a row (the first two being Mini 742 and Mafia 91 in that order) to start without my having Internet access at home—I was in the middle of an ISP switch when the clock started.

Mafia 91: Hell Aboard the Purple Flower StrangerSSK (StrangerCoug and MafiaSSK) backed up by OhGodMyLife 2009-03-24 2009-06-28 Town wins
Comments: Not my favorite game to have modded (in fact, when I gave Talitha my modding experience so I could run a large theme, this game was intentionally left out), but I think I've come out of it having learned how to be a good mod. This was my first large game on this site, and a lot of things came up that I couldn't have imagined. And I thought I've been through enough trials by fire just PLAYING. This is pretty much one crazy as hell game down in my modding record.

MafiaSSK, next time you agree to use my ruleset, could you actually read it and see what it says please?

Round 2 Waldo69 2007-12-13 2008-01-30 Endgamed, was the Cop Mafia wins
Comments: I lost my Internet connection during Day 2 (if I remember correctly) and didn't get it back until early the following March; therefore I had to post at a public library.
Round 3 Jalnor 2008-02-18 2008-03-03 Survived, was Mafia Mafia wins
Comments: My favorite scene from this is actually a deleted scene, despite being one that would have clearly given me away as Mafia. Remember that, unlike on MafiaScum, the mod gives hints as to the Mafia. I think this was the first round where the cop revealed a Mafioso yet a mislynch still occured that day (votes are not public knowledge on Rooster Teeth), but I do remember being the only Mafioso not revealed until the game was over.

Round 9 Jalnor 2008-08-18 2008-09-13 Lynched Day 5, was Mafia Civilians win
Comments: This round introduced roles other than cop and bodyguard, the latter of which was made secret as of this round. This also had player lists that marked people as "in a coma", i.e. inactive. This did not happen in Round 10, however, but each round after that had marked inactive players.

After the cop's investigation, my death became inevitable, so I asked for the death scene linked here. To this day, it's one of my favorites.

Round 10 SarBni 2008-09-17 2008-10-07 Endgamed, was a civilian Mafia wins
Comments: I had a grudge on the mod for awhile that continued into Round 11 and even made it on this page. I didn't think the game was fair, and the mod said I never voted, which is untrue. On the not-so-mean-to-him side, this is the first round that I didn't run as moderator for since the original mod, Waldo69, said he wanted to play instead. This is also the second round where the cop revealed a Mafioso yet a mislynch still occured for the day.

Round 14 DarkWizzard 2008-12-11 2009-01-01 Given the boot Day 2, was a civilian Mafia wins
Comments: This round wasn't exactly fun. I became Rooster Teeth's first "voteblocker" target this round—not only could I not cast a vote to lynch, but if I were Mafia, I would have had no say as to who to whack either. I was dayvigged that game day, too.

I departed from the Mafia thread after this round (see "Mafia games outside MafiaScum.net" above for reasons) with a break-even record as town and a losing record as scum, which is better than my current MafiaScum.net record. In addition, while a frequent occurrence on MS, I have never been mislynched on Rooster Teeth (though I was misvigged twice). All in all, I've had a good time, but I want to wait until I actually have time for the thread before playing again.

For the purposes of calculating my own modding eligibility on MafiaScum, I DON'T count this game because of the drastically different format and playstyle.

Quotes

This is where you and I get to post quotes by, about, or to me on MafiaScum that we find interesting. Feel free to add on as desired.

These should be in chronological order, by the way.

One-liners

  • I had a dream last night of you getting lynched. But then, somebody (CDB, I think) said something like, "No, don't lynch him. All he did was a confession. Crazy has done --insert something here--. And then everyone unvoted you and voted me. Crazy, Newbie 614, post #90
  • I played Day 1 and I think part of Day 2 thinking I was town and didn't realize I was scum until Green Cow PM'd me. I tried to be very conservative with my posts since it would be obvious that I was scum if I did, but apparently that didn't work. We didn't even get a chance to kill anybody. ...Wait a minute—I've got an idea! *shoots xyzzy* StrangerCoug, Mini 620: Psychopathic Xyzzy Mod, post #161
  • Who the hell cares about social experiments? I refuse to copy and paste signature text just to follow a trend. StrangerCoug, as part of his signature from 2008-08-02 to 2008-08-07
  • Acting scummy on purpose does not necessarily make a player a jester—it could also be legitimate scum trying to get bussed as a gambit of some sort. I don't see either, but #162 is heavily noted. As in on 10,000 pieces of paper. —StrangerCoug, Mafia 90: Lolwat? Mafia, post #172. Post #162 is this.
  • I'm surprised a rotten tomato fight hasn't started yet, given how ashamed some of you and I are of each other. —StrangerCoug, Mafia 91: Hell Aboard the Purple Flower, post #3195, referring to my regrettable mod actions and several people talking outside the thread that I didn't hear about until the game was over
  • SC, you have to lead to this trick as we- PUT THAT GUN DOWN! —yabbaguy, Hearts, post #344 after "shooting" myself out of confusion for the second time

RichardGHP, post #4661: Since when does a cribbage board have more than 32 pieces?
StrangerCoug, post #4662: Since cribbage started being played with a deck of cards.
RichardGHP, post #4663: That's where I went wrong, then. I was under the impression a full deck of cards constituted one piece.
Nobody Special, post #4664: I'll drop the cards on the kitchen floor and you can pick up the one piece.
Jerbs, post #196: I'm not feeling well, plus the storm thats supposed to come tomorrow, makes me think i might be V/LA for some time
StrangerCoug, post #199: That's not a good combo >< Noted.
Parama, post #198 (for convenience purposes, it goes backwards for a bit): There's a chance my power may go out soon due to freezing rain, so consider me V/LA for the next 4 days. I'll keep posting if I don't lose power, of course.
StrangerCoug, post #199: Noted also.
DLG, post #202: Yeah, me three, on the potential to lose power and have to be V/LA. Hope not, but if I suddenly disappear for a couple of days, that's why.
Packbat, post #204: Also, I, too, am in an area where freezing rain is possible - if power is lost again, I will have limited access for a few days.
StrangerCoug, post #206: ...OK, what happened? Did Mother Nature decide to hate everybody?
Packbat, post #207: Yes. (The word "yes" is a link that goes to a weather map which, at the time, showed a large swath of the US going from a little northeast of the El Paso/Las Cruces area, where I am, northeast through New England under a winter storm or blizzard warning, and even where I was there was a winter weather advisory. I would be hit soon after.)
