Vi

Bio

Player on mafiascum since the end of June 2008. Somewhat of an Internet drifter, previously involved in a few communities but now mostly absent from them. Present on mafiascum largely to learn how to be more persuasive as an author, and also to be righteously opinionated as much as possible.

Decidedly a older-school gamer, and most definitely eccentric. Abuses a faulty version of third-person point of view so as to create "sentences" without subjects. Has a mild obsession with unusual setups and questionable roles.

Correct: Vi ("vee"), Vi ("vee-eye"), Six, 6
Incorrect: V, VI, Vi ("vye")

Gameplay

I'm Natirasha's rival from way back; Natirasha agrees, don't bother him about it. As such, I'm more or less his opposite, except for the times when I'm not.

1. Vi always votes someone who isn't playing D1.
2. Vi is always pro-Town.
3. Vi always fakevigs people who say VI. (One day it might be a real vig...)
4. Vi has a flair for absurdity, and thus will spam, spoof, or parody at will if boredom strikes.
5. Vi is always on a different tangent.
6. Vi's favorite role is Vanilla Townie.
7. Vi's least favorite role is Doctor.

Rules for Lynch Scum/Wagon Average (shamelessly plagiarized from Mr. Flay):

1. Pro-Town role, or part of a Team Anti-Town Faction where at least one other Anti-Town Faction existed for me to successfully lynch. SKs don't count, because it doesn't matter who they lynch.
2. Vigilante attempts count.
3. Getting lynched myself counts as a failure. :(
4. No ongoing games (unless I'm already dead).
5. No Mafia Mutations so distorted that lynching is essentially meaningless: RPS, Unknown Role, etc.)

Scummy Townies all around again. I claimed Doc at D2 LyLo and got counterclaimed by JDodge-scum. What followed was a fascinating bout of mudslinging and theory arguments, eventually leading to JDodge's lynch. What I didn't find out until then was that JDodge never lied about the setup (which he would know) or the likely scum among kuribo and charter, the claimed Vanillas. Sotty7 nailed both scum twice as the Cop/designated stalemate breaker; she really came through.

I freely confess I had no idea who the scum were in this game; everybody except the obvNKs were scummy. Toward the end of the game, I noticed that someone was (I thought) catching failure arguments and was on the verge of being lynched, so I intervened with a better case of my own. 'Turns out the people I accused were the other two Townies and as a result I didn't even give the extremely pro-Town player (in everyone's eyes) the chance to bus his partner (the person I thought was getting scumlynched). This one was entirely on me.

This was the fourth game I joined, and it coincidentally gave me a way to connect to Natirasha, my Neighbor partner and an old arch-rival from elsewhere. Except... well, being a Neighbor with Natirasha sounds funny until it happens to you. He wasn't confirmed, but seriously, he was Kirby - his name was in all the Vanilla PMs as a pro-Town figure. This game taught me to shop for mods and players over themes, and was vampirized by idiot Townies (of which I eventually became) and flakers. By the time D2 was half-over, nobody cared about the game. Nyeh.

In this game, players were encouraged to use as few words as possible. While it gave everyone a break from walls of text, it was a major hassle on the mods, who were both incapacitated IRL. Between the normal Large Game Lurking and the lack of mod presence, this game was granted a merciful death. I did well enough in this game, I thought.

A classic example of why pressuring (if not lynching) lurkers is good. Thirty pages of catfighting D1 were almost entirely Town vs. Town, and replacing for one of the least-favored people in the game was unpleasant. What was expected to be a Vi-quicklynch D3 (by the Town) turned into ten days of desperate heroism where I was ultimately lynched as SK (they couldn't peg me as Mafia). And the confusion suddenly ended D4 as everything was explained and the three-person LyLo took care of itself. The Town did enough things wrong that they won, in a sense...

One of my better moral victories; my position D1 focused on three people, two of which turned out to be scum. Unfortunately the two people I defended most were also scum, albeit on separate teams; one went to the gallows against my better judgment and the other hit me the night afterward for being his partner. Ironically, the two scum in my three-person focus roleblocked me and rendered me voteless D1 and D2, for naught! It's good to be considered a threat, especially when vanilla~

A strange, strange game where no night actions went through until the actor killed himself at a specified time. My role was basically one of the most useless, if not by the book then certainly by the protects I made (mostly to scum). I won brownie points for standing up for an obvious mislynch, but lost them by not chasing down f-light-scum after her obvious partner got lynched. I won because Natirasha was kind enough to recruit me into his cult - before telling the truth about his role (the first time!). Hilarious flavor text though.

Mini 669	Cream147	Mafia Goon	Endgamed Night 3	Mod Abandoned	N/A	Sept 7 2008 - Dec 3 2008 (87)	Original Player
My first game as scum. I was the designated killer, but (inexplicably at the time) none of my kills went through. (Ironically, I was being jailkept as most pro-Town both nights...) Combined with the Town pushing what amounted to policy lynches, the result was a painfully slow game where the Town had zero information to work with. We could have won if D4 had ended in a mislynch, FWIW.

Another Newbie game I replaced into that got abandoned and canceled. I was on an obvious policy lynch wagon, and then went after a promising IC target who turned out to be Town. Le sigh.

When I replaced in on Day 2, I put together some very nice cases against three of the six other players. All three of them were Town. Not my proudest moment. The game was canceled because a person replacing in for scum got a Town Role PM and vice versa. Still, a great game by scum - they probably would have won if the game had continued.

I replaced into this game on Day 2 for an obvscum lurker... who turned out to be the Doctor. I nailed scum trying to pull a heroic drag-the-Town-down-but-never-get-replaced tactic, but got NKd afterward. This turned out to be my first win as Town, so I suppose I should take it even though I wasn't around for very long.

This was my first game here, and by sheer coincidence it turned out to be packed with people who were very experienced with Mafia and were using this game to get a feel for this site. The result was a phenomenal, yet nightmarishly tough game. Having read "typical" Newbie Games, I honestly prefer what I got. It was a trial by fire, and I came out of it considerably better as a player than I came in.

I have now. Someone on another site I go to makes a point of making a topic every few months about why exactly incest is illegal, so I was kind of wondering about the subject already. Interesting read as always.
