Friendly Dossier
1. Bo_sox48 - As town plays very loose. Also plays this way as scum. Bo is prone to egregious scumslips occasionally resulting in him literally suiciding to give his team cred. When bo is town he tends to get angry, fake claims, and does anything he can to keep both scum and town guessing as to what hes doing. The way to tell if he is town will be difficult, but on reread bo can be quite sloppy as scum.
2. Brainbomb – measure me not by the post count amounts. But by their content. I do tend to flail around many accusations, and leave no stone unturned. As evidenced by past games, I have wanted desperately to get better at being town. I don’t intend to take credit for last game catching 3 in a row, as it wasn’t good enough. We still lost. We did the best we could and this game might be even harder. Judge me by my ability to ask the right questions and not waste your time.
3. Captainmeme – Is a career lurker as scum. His presence at EOD’s as scum is to often show up with an hour left, park a vote and give a somewhat logical reason. Meme is not to be trifled with. He is an expert. If this were chess, he is a silent Gary Kasparov type. Meme as town is looser, and he usually takes a little while to get going. It will be easier to know about meme by comparing his lurking to guak and teacon later D2 and D3.
4. Dargorygel - ??
5. DeathLlama8 – Usually asks pretty alright questions as town. It will be easier to tell if DL8 is scum by his level of willingness to put together cases and ask the tough questions. In back to back games DL8 has given people hope he was town by the quality of the investigations he produced.
6. DemonRHK – Has been scum before, and has now been a GM. Will be interested to see now, after also having been a PR in M19 how RHK’s game has evolved. I anticpate a new meta with new twists and depending on the extremity of this, he could end up being scum. Don’t hold me to that, its my first guess of the game. ##Vote DemonRHK
7. Floodgates – Floodgates looked scummy in the previous game but was actually just sheeping Prado and myself. Flood didn’t have great answers but he had solid actions. When Flood was scum he was a bit more uneven and defensive. Hes still relatively new to me but I think this game we may see what Floodgates is like having lost the last 3 games. He is 0-3 and his town performance may correlate directly to an overcompensation. Whereas if he is scum, we may see him just simply mirror last game.
8. Fluminator – I have plenty to say. But due to poor behavior on my part I can only offer an apology to the players of Discord 3 and their GM. I have in fact seen Flum as scum before. But my own arrogance robbed him of an opportunity to enjoy what should have been a satisfying win, fair and square. If Flum is scum, I imagine he will make some comment about how annoyed he is that he never gets to be scum.
9. Glen_Alexander - ???
10. Ghug – I know what ghug is capable of. Ghug is often guilty of failing to see what is right under his nose. However, it’s a whole nother monster to see a scum ghug. I look forward to this game with him in it. Perhaps someone has a better ability to read him than me. I would love their advice. For now, keep an eye on his reasons for his votes.
11. Ghuak – What is there to say. Guak has proven to be a player who just has fun. I think he has fun?? Who knows. He lurks like crazy, which has little to do with his role. Guak always survives til late and becomes a weapon against himself with his own behaviors. Guak as scum is a bit more snarky, tends to tunnel and can be more pompous whereas town guak usually just leans on the logic that scum will try hard to get rid of him.
12. Hellenic Riot – HR almost always nabs 1 scum on D1. He always lurks on D1 and often dies fast in mafia. If HR survives a long time he is always a question mark. His scum meta is a mind game. He does tend to appear to lead town as scum, despite the fact his advice in those instances was pure shit. HR as town is simple, aggressive and often accurate. Pay close attention.
13. Ikaneko – Was horrible as scum. Ask him lots of questions and see if he breaks under any scrutiny. Ikaneko was the straw that broke his teams back in M21.
14. Jamiet99uk – Has not been scum since M16. Is MAYBE overdue to get a scum role here. But of course the ugly gamblers fallacy argument rears its head here. I am certain Jamie’s defense will be to state he is VT, and my statements here are empty and meaningless. That is fine. Keep an eye on his tuteledge of the new players as in M16 he counseled his scum buddies openly in the game (Maniac, Mr. Asimov, ghug).
15. Maniac – Is a bit more condescending as scum. When he is town he seems more serious, more relaxed and doesn’t mess around with mixing up his voting habits nor his reads. Last game Maniac’s meta took a turn later in the game and showed his true intent. Maniac will try to undermine the character of a person if his back is against the wall. Town doesn’t do that. So in a pinch a good way to find out about Maniac is to pile on him late and see how bullshit his reads are.
16. MoscowFleet – Dies every game and is always town. I am in no way saying I like this. Moscow has been scum with Fluminator before but he was really good. Moscow as town is a lot more reckless, he doesn’t try to push pressure off himself much. And unfortunately for him he has in fact been a punching bag for a while.
17. rdrivera2005 -??
18. teacon7 – MVP and lurker from last game. Won as scum and carried his team. Watch out for Teacon making very bus heavy and flip floppy reads on specific people. Last game he scum read 2 of his buddies as slight scum. He isn’t afraid to go on record as scum using his bizarre “surgical strike force” posts.
19. VashtaNeurotic – He is the absolute worst player in mafia history at being scum. The fact he won last game when he was dead to rights bloody obvious day 1 is a travesty against how I feel about life. Lol. That being said, vash as town is a lot better, a lot more wise. Town vash is never a jerk, and he usually gets scum right.
20. Xorxes – xorxes is a great all around player. He has won as all sides, and is co town mvp last game. If xorxes stays alive into endgame take a closer look at him. He is one of my favorites. But I know all too well what he looks like as scum. His town meta is very advanced midgame and late game.
21. Zorclex – if teacon taught this dude anything he will lurk as scum. He is teacons brother. I have no idea what this guy is like, or how old he is. But if hes town, I have even less of an idea what to expect.
TLDR: make your votes count, make your questions count, and remember that hens love roosters, and geese love ganders. Everyone else should vote barry sanders.
