well i guess ill have to explain the joke. You proposed that stories suck if they make you look bad. I proposed that twilight would become good if it made you sound good.
Your stories suck, I sound awful in them. That's what I expected from you though, so, all's fair I suppose.
Meh. Not quite what I meant. You won FF7 as the SK, after all, and you were right about me in Tales of the Fantastic.
If anything, the fact is that some games you're really really good, and other games you're really really bad. Same pretty much goes for me, however, so just take it as some semi-good-natured ribbing.

@DC: The worst is when you start out really strong and then finish really poorly. Like when Day 2 is just ending and you feel like you have the MVP on lock, and then..you cost the town the game. Kung Fu is my saddest regret.

Heh. At least half the time you actually survive to day 2. I still don't get how I got killed N1 in Prehistoric Mafia, of all games. That was what, my second game? -_-;;
Oh, right, how could I have forgotten Britannia Legions Mafia, the mod-abandoned game where you conspired to 'vig' your own scummate.

You probably missed the bit in the after-abandonment comments where Pale Mage said he was getting ready to poison you.
And you didn't have to deal with having to do a drunk-CC impression every other day.

How about Tachronic Mafia where I was the vig and Cyan was the SK. I thought I could leave him be, but that ended up with me getting killed.
And then our next game was Joss Whedon mafia where... I was the vig and Cyan was the SK. I got my revenge that time.
Yes, you certainly wanted revenge in JW. You sent me a fun PM Night 1 saying just that

Only you could get away with false claiming Captain Hammer, then getting counterclaimed by the real one, then claiming 'Vanilla Buffy Summers' and not get lynched. Ugh. It is awful town play to get someone get away with things like that.

i have a little history about cyan (more about me actually :tongue:).
before i started playing i skimmed some games and got really afraid of cyans playstyle. i knew i couldnt stand the kind of pressure he usually puts on some players (mostly manders :D).
in fact, i was so afraid i almost gave up of playing wow mafia because he would play and i was sure i would crumble D1 (no matter my allegiance) if he pressured me.
thankfully he never pressured me until his death. (un)fortunately that was his last(?) game. so i will not fear him again anytime soon...
at least i can say "do you know cyan? once upon a time i played with him and survived".
btw, cyan commented somewhere he wanted to be a mod/council or something but was afraid he would not be accepted because of his personality.
considering the posts of everyone until now i believe thats not the case, so can the council make it happen? i fear he will slowly depart from us if he isnt involved on something (playing/reviewing/moderating/hosting) :-/.

The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
Persona Mafia, where as L and Light Yagami respectively, Cyan just wouldn't get off DYH's back for flavour reasons, despite both being town.
In fairness, the flavor reason was a pretty darn good one, and DYH was a character with strong SK flavor who had the ability to daykill and nightkill every cycle. I was utterly flabbergasted that DYH was town.

Dude, seriously, Cyan and I have gone head to head in every game we've been in together. Check it: I have 20 completed games. Cyan was in 10. That's more games together than me and anyone else, I believe. Seppel/AE are probably close seconds.
But, don't worry. Cyan's not going anywhere permanently. Mafia is in his blood. He'll be back...then he can bulldog you to lynch.
Gotta tell you, though. After going head to head with Cyan, if you're successful (as I've been all but 1 time) you'll be ready to go head to head with anyone. I promise you that.
The best example of me and Cyan going at it has got to be in Indiana Jones Mafia. Ogre was pretty good, too, but Seppel did most of the work on that. Hecatea's not bad for it, either, but Indy is definitely the best. If I had stuck to my gut and kept pushing him, I might have been town MVP that game.

It's not 'because of my personality', it's because of bad blood between myself and multiple members of the MTGS Staff(and they're all Admins as far as I can tell). Which I guess is..because of my personality, but it's not because of anyone in the mafia community. It's unfortunate, but, I've come to terms with it.
And I'm still around to review games, incidentally. And post in these non-game threads.
So was I - actually masons with him and loran! He thought I was a mafia mason when I wasn't o_O. (The infamous Magic Mafia)
I've never been masons with you...I was vanilla in Magic Mafia.
I've only been masons twice:
With Robroy in Battle Royale Mafia
and with AlphaInsidious in Harry Potter Mafia.
Actually I think i was masons with Axelrod in Mushroom Kingdom, but replaced out early.

Quote from Seppel »
I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
Oh man, Cyan and I have had our fair share of in-game stories, but my favorite pro-Cyan story is how we basically dominated the end of Elegant Mafia together. That was fun times. Also, over on MTGNews, there was Simpsons' Mafia where I'm surprised we managed to keep as many lies straight as we did to pull that off.
My favorite anti-Cyan story is where I took him down day one of Danger City Mafia. Also fun times, but moreso for me than him I'm sure.
Then there's the time he walked all over us in his first game ever, Star Trek Mafia.
I've always enjoyed playing with Cyan - we usually have at least one fight a game, but the general rule has always been whichever person dies first, the other is scum.

I'm not sure anymore, but when you played heavily, I felt like we could both completely read each other. Like that game on WIFOM. As soon as I got NKed, I messaged you and was like 'so you're scum right'..of course. And yeah, when you got me in Danger it was really impressivel.

Very much so - at our playing peak, I think we certainly read each other very well more often than not.
My first Cyan memory (and the only that comes to mind outside of random frustration/arguments that have cropped up recently) is from RotTK mafia where we were in this f'ed up side mafia group and I needed Cyan to be killed (though I didn't know his identity) after I'd identified my lover (and his servant I think?). I ended up trying to do this by outing Swinkee (my lover and Cyan's servant) and hoped that would end up in Cyan's lynch. It ended up in getting all 3 of us killed.

Ah, RotTK. That distraction bought me and Az so, so much time.
The original Trek was a fabulous performance, I must agree- especially after losing broken double-life mafia bateleur on day 1 like that!
Cyan, I know we haven't always often got along in mafia, and it's sometimes been a gigantic royal pain in the ass playing against you, but it's also been a great rivalry and working you out has never been easy despite how long I've played against you. Many good scum are good scum at the price of being horrible townies, but apart from a couple of games we won't mention now you're actually a good and underrated townie player (if often aggravating), and that's tricky for someone with such a long track record and well known behaviour style.
Your unflinching style has also spared many players the agony of a day (especially a day 1) where no-one will move the game forward, and I'm on record previously as noting how important that is (and you as the best proponent of it) to keeping games enjoyable and moving along.
And if nothing else, I'll forever appreciate you for Kung Fu and hate you for DOTA
So, I'm working on a new setup. Calling it MTGS Mafia: The Reckoning. It's been a good long while since MTGS Mafia Redux, and I think it's high time to look back on some of our favorite players and setups of the past, and hopefully get to make some wonderful new memories, too.
Cyan's Impossible Mafia was also partial inspiration for the idea; I figured there's a lot of other players and setups out there aside from Cyan who need some lovin'. CIM also gave me the idea that we really ought to find ways to allow more players to participate in potentially landmark games, so that random.org isn't such a cruel mistress. I love the idea of a flagship game that the entire forum has a hand in, even if they're not slashed in. It's about community - so bringing together the whole community seems like the right thing to do.
But before that can happen, I need some material to work with. I'm hoping you guys can help me with it.
1. My major interest is in memorable quotes from older games - like Arim did for MTGS Redux (plan on giving any content, cc? etc.). I'm sure there's all sorts of great material out there, but I can't possibly find it on my own.
2. In terms of old school players, I'm pretty familiar with folks who should make the list, and I'm familiar with a handful of the new players. But since I haven't played in more than a handful of games the past year, I thought I should gather some suggestions on folks who have been around only for the past couple of years who might be good to research and include - especially if there's memorable incidents involving them. Speaking of memorable incidents, those involving older players would be worth mentioning to, especially if it's from a game I didn't play in and wouldn't have a good chance of knowing about.
3. I'm probably going to need a co-mod to help me run this sucker: vote counts, and abilities. I may also need additional assistants to fulfill a very special idea...but I'll be contacting folks about that latter bit. Privately.
4. If anyone has ideas for roles and mechanics based on past games/memorable incidents/players, I'd be happy to take a look at those, too. PM me. Don't post here.
5. For players who may be featured in the game (that's anyone and everyone reading this, and I'll bug anyone who slips through the cracks later), I'd love to have a little basic info to work with. A few paragraphs description of your personality, your job. Background info. Maybe a picture. Maybe some anecdotes from your life, or your time on the site. PM or post here. Enough that I could write a role PM and maybe some flavor scenes.

Cyan accidentally killing himself by shooting Axelrod the bus driver and winning the town the game in Indiana Jones Mafia.

Either of these options sounds really cool depending on when the game runs and how much I'll have to do until then. The new job has severely limited my time on here.

MandersHex, aka Amanda or Manders *last name omitted*
Omniscient God-Queen of Mafia, Cute ~and~ Deadly Doll of [The Family], friend to all, hated by some, can melt a cold heart at the drop of a hat. Sweet, sassy, and full of heart. Nana to 4 boys, wife to one fantastic man, and Mommy to a fluffy Mason kitteh.
Iono, Az, you can add more. You know me well enough to do that.
Currently a consultant, but if you ask him what he consults he will simply say yes and tell you how much he charges per hour. Despite his long time playing (he considers having over twenty games on this site a long time) he has sort of a pathetic win record with pure scum and town win conditions. But has an extremely high win percentage compared to most others with neutral and alternate/additional win conditions and has proven to be able to play his strongest when he is looking out for number 1 and currently himself as number 1 stole his lunch money and they are no longer on speaking terms. His most memorable performances are in The Asphodel Meadows were he somewhat successfully held the town hostage as town for the last couple of days so that they would fulfill his additional win condition. Other memorable performances include in Kaizers Mafia where he won as the scum lover and successfully pulled off convincing the town that he was a mason and sort of screwing over his scum team by deciding to win as a lover rather than scum. Other famous performance is in Ged's Normal where as the Neutral Hitman sort of, kind of won the game for the town. He has successfully (?) modded two games so far on Sally, Demonata Mafia where somehow a Malfunctioning Computer Mouse was lynched and revealed to be the Toyota Car Manufacturing Company in disguise, and Gabriel Highschool Mafia where, well, you are probably better off reading it where good times were had by all, except Cyan. Has a knack for killing AI whenever he is the SK... oh and AI always turns up scum when he does it.
As for memorable moments:
1. RafK fake sending a PM to his alter ego, Zuzu Petals, in GHS Mafia to convince everyone that Zuzu and RafK were masons.
2. Those damn Chimes winning it in Sword of Truth Mafia.
3. Lynching Joboman who was pretty much the confirmed cop in Annorax's Bastard Mafia.
4. Cyan killing himself in Indiana Jones Mafia.
5. Seppel believing he was invincible in Symbiote Mafia.
Leading the town almost single-handedly in Hetalia. I'm sure you remember that Az. You were victim #2 of my scumhunting. TIK was the first, which I rallied the ENTIRE TOWN to lynch instead of Johnthemaster. Should have continued to listen to my gut, though, and killed off E_P, but c'est la vie!
Artifice's fake daykill of me in Iji (the flavor provided by Seppel made everyone laugh).
pinkfloyd's mix-up of Iji and Amnesia where I drew a chart and he drew a counter-chart that had absolutely nothing to do with the chart I drew, but claimed that it proved I was scum.
Amb Laq/Clock King's multiple personality disorder in Star Trek Myriad Universes II.
My constant tendency to mislynch pinkfloyd.
fluffyn00b claiming scum in his signature 2 games in a row.
Yanni mentoring Seppel.
Claiming to be a Super Saint in Super Mario World Mafia, which was a Basic.
Epic Doc/Watcher/Vig combo in Agatha Christie with Burstinatrix and Seppel, respectively, after I got ran up to L-2 on Day 1 and Burst claimed with no provocation.

atlseal, Former Scum Extraordinaire
A computer programmer that decided to start up playing this game during college. His experience before taking a long break existed primarily of the random number generator seeing fit to almost certainly place him in a mafia role. Some would say it's luck, but the amount of data supporting the opposite goes to show that he's a better scum player than he first appears. The town has never succeeded in winning a game when atlseal was mafia. After his return, he's been reserved to play almost exclusively for the side of the town and is known for wild theories and plans that are either flat-out genius or insane. Lives with his wife in Dallas, TX while working on missile guidance system software, so don't **** with him.
Mafia memories of my actions:
- Elegant Mafia where he suicided day 1 in a move that killed two town but might have been the catalyst for helping the town win
- Matrix mafia where he:
1. Narrows down the cult leader to about 6 players N1 and false claims a cop result on one of them (Kraj) to have that player turn out to be the real cult leader. Thus furthering his survivability as scum.
2. Activated a hiding ability just before he would have been killed by the SK
If you don't mind one of the newbs joining in on the fun,
I'm Wheat_Grinder. Started playing Mafia just a few months ago, to moderate success. I've got a knack for being forced to claim in basics, still seeming scummy, but not getting lynched (still have yet to be!). I hail from Minnesota. I was super awkward as a kid, but figured out my niche a few years ago. On MTG: Started playing around Conflux, have started playing less since college. On MTGS: Mostly hang around in Forum Games, and am a member of the Crafters, for which I contributed our story (voiced by Kank, pictures by pet_snake and others) for the last clan contest. I've got a pair of scars on my head that make an 11 from two times as a kid from when I 1. fell down the stairs and 2. ran into a corner that was jutting out. Have never broken a bone. I am currently attending the University of Minnesota, where I plan to get a degree in Materials Science and Engineering (basically, we make the stuff you want to make stuff out of.)
Memorable moments:
Ah man all the ones I can think of are still ongoing.
I guess the two biggest things are 1. Always has flipped town. 2. Has never been lynched, even though I always seem scummy.
I guess that's another thing: I almost always scum-slip, even though I've always been town. God help me when I'm scum.
I'm Yanni
Not very good at Mafia but I try my best... most of the time. I come from Rural Maine (which explains why I'm so bad at mafia, AE). Shalako Mentored me and made my scum play sort of okay. Currently getting my Ph.D.
My favorite Mafia moments.
- Seppel and I in basic 45 with "You''re welcome and goodnight"
- Mentoring Seppel
- Moderating games
- Calling all of Digicooldad's claims fake because they are.
- Tunneling Pink Floyd to mislynches.

Mechanical/Electrical Engineer that is living in Houston with my wife. I stopped playing MTG a few years ago but still enjoy playing mafia here more than other places I have tried. I have been pretty solid of late and on fire as scum, not a surprise since I have won a lot as scum. Never the best, never the worst, I suppose my only definitive trait is not having a meta. I started my career with 10 loses in a row as E_P. I have an odd love of gimmicks and seem to be more successful with them. Enjoied MTG:Darkness while kpaca was there, and wishes some of the News players would come here.
Memorable moments:
- The Beary gimmick.
- Coming from an impossible spot (and recruiting Seppel specifically) in Hetelia.
- Acing Ged's normal only to have Guardman steal the final moment.
- Getting ced lynched in CC II (including changing Cyans mind) as Ahasver.
- I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them. I've witnessed a lot, though.
21y/o Journalism major @ the University of Florida, living with family. Born and raised 30 minutes outside of campus in High Springs, FL. Having a internal struggle with changing into Psychology, with many friends/family members suggesting it per his demeanor/desire to help others, and not liking what his fellow journalism majors are behaving like as of recent. Major Gator fan, and sports nut in general.
Casually plays M:tG after playing for ~8 years, 5 of which featured tournament competition. Rowed in high school as a lightweight and coxswain, gained leadership experience but lost vocal chords as a result (singing career down in flames!)
Mafia experience originated in RL games, where he mainly moderates, balancing tricky setups with medium-sized groups. When he does play, he's overtly townie as town, overtly scummy as scum, and insane as third parties. Upcoming The Office Mafia will end-all be-all for flavorwriting, at risk of major embarrassment.
I don't really have any significant memories in MTGS mafia, besides getting randomly vigged in WoW after leaving a tab open portrayed me as scum. I've died N1 in 2 of my 5 games (not counting Hetalia).
Either of these options sounds really cool depending on when the game runs and how much I'll have to do until then. The new job has severely limited my time on here.
You're actually my first choice for co-mod. I'll let you know when we're closer to running it, but it should be a long while down the stretch. Don't want this to be a rush job.

Are those true?
Yup. So my family has a lawyer, an archaeologist, and a minister. I figure there's some kind of joke buried in that.

My apologies for the off-topic post, but I actually know this joke.. would you like to hear it?
So a lawyer, an archaeologist, and a minister are out hunting one day when a terrible storm comes into the area, blinding snow and stinging winds. The three run for their cars but get desperately lost in the wood, wandering aimlessly until the come across a small wood cabin in the middle of nowhere. Having no choice, they go inside, only to find the interior warm and clean, but no owner to be seen, the only truly distinguishing feature that the cast iron stove has been strung up in the middle of the room using wire, old bricks, and other bric-a-brac. It seems to hover in mid-air for no good reason. The conversation quickly turns to why such a thing should be.
"Clearly," said the Lawyer, "the owner of this cabin knows the law. The floor doesn't have a fireproof metal-or-stone plating to protect the wooden cabin from catching on fire and they know that they'll be liable if the fire burns down half the forest. Thus they've minimized the risk as much as possible by making sure no hot metal touches anything wooden, as any law-abiding citizen would do."
"You're way off," says the archaeologist. "From the seclusion away from society of the cabin, we can easily tell that this.. thing... is merely the most efficient way to disperse heat throughout the rooms of the domicile. By placing it in mid-air, like the ancient Mesopotamians with their suspended lanterns, it simply provides the most efficient transfer of needed heat.. I wouldn't be surprised if this were a breakthrough in heat dispersal, and I'm sure that within a few years everyone will be doing it."
"I don't think that's it," says the minister. "I think this is an unconscious cry for the will of the Almighty to bless this cabin. Notice that the heat comes from above, and provides ample opportunity to bask in the heat from below.. much like the love of the Almighty. This is a work of the soul, gentlemen, a bit crude but obviously made with much love."
The three grumble at each other for a while when, suddenly, the owner of the cabin, a grizzled prospector with a great bushy beard, bangs the door open carrying a new load of firewood. He is immediately rushed by all three of his newfound visitors, each asking why he would tie his stove suspended to the ceiling. Was it an act of a lawful citizen, an efficient call-back to ancient cultures, or a task of the spirit?
"Oh, it ain't nothing like that," said the man. "I just had to put it up like that because I didn't have enough stovepipe to put it all the way to the ground."
Gets very emotionally involved in games of Mafia, perhaps too much. Is simultaneously incredibly motivated and incredibly lazy when it comes to mafia; I do lots of work in being better at scumhunting, but pay almost no attention to being good at convincing other players. Wrote an article.
Notable moments:
End game of Basic #40, in which I fooled the final scum and fantastically hammered him in 3 person LyLo.
Seance Mafia's The Hat.

I keep re-reading that, and hoping it will make sense. It's not working.
well i guess ill have to explain the joke. You proposed that stories suck if they make you look bad. I proposed that twilight would become good if it made you sound good.
Meh. Not quite what I meant. You won FF7 as the SK, after all, and you were right about me in Tales of the Fantastic.
If anything, the fact is that some games you're really really good, and other games you're really really bad. Same pretty much goes for me, however, so just take it as some semi-good-natured ribbing.

And I was just needling Descoures. He is one of the players on here that I respect most.
@DC: The worst is when you start out really strong and then finish really poorly. Like when Day 2 is just ending and you feel like you have the MVP on lock, and then..you cost the town the game. Kung Fu is my saddest regret.
Heh. At least half the time you actually survive to day 2. I still don't get how I got killed N1 in Prehistoric Mafia, of all games. That was what, my second game? -_-;;
Oh, right, how could I have forgotten Britannia Legions Mafia, the mod-abandoned game where you conspired to 'vig' your own scummate.

I was sooooooo mad when that game got abandoned. I had it completely in the bag.
@Az: DC is right, that is def. more of an Az story.
You probably missed the bit in the after-abandonment comments where Pale Mage said he was getting ready to poison you.
And you didn't have to deal with having to do a drunk-CC impression every other day.

And then our next game was Joss Whedon mafia where... I was the vig and Cyan was the SK. I got my revenge that time.
Yes, you certainly wanted revenge in JW. You sent me a fun PM Night 1 saying just that
You want I should post it?
Only you could get away with false claiming Captain Hammer, then getting counterclaimed by the real one, then claiming 'Vanilla Buffy Summers' and not get lynched. Ugh. It is awful town play to get someone get away with things like that.
"Who else but Seppel?" /Sitcom exaggerated open-palm shrug.
... /laugh track
My porn name is Muffy the Vampire Layer.
before i started playing i skimmed some games and got really afraid of cyans playstyle. i knew i couldnt stand the kind of pressure he usually puts on some players (mostly manders :D).
in fact, i was so afraid i almost gave up of playing wow mafia because he would play and i was sure i would crumble D1 (no matter my allegiance) if he pressured me.
thankfully he never pressured me until his death. (un)fortunately that was his last(?) game. so i will not fear him again anytime soon...
at least i can say "do you know cyan? once upon a time i played with him and survived".
btw, cyan commented somewhere he wanted to be a mod/council or something but was afraid he would not be accepted because of his personality.
considering the posts of everyone until now i believe thats not the case, so can the council make it happen? i fear he will slowly depart from us if he isnt involved on something (playing/reviewing/moderating/hosting) :-/.
Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
In fairness, the flavor reason was a pretty darn good one, and DYH was a character with strong SK flavor who had the ability to daykill and nightkill every cycle. I was utterly flabbergasted that DYH was town.
...
I love you.
Current New Favorite Person™: Mallory Archer
She knows why.
At least PM it to me? I gotta see this.
You could get away with that, too, lol.
Dude, seriously, Cyan and I have gone head to head in every game we've been in together. Check it: I have 20 completed games. Cyan was in 10. That's more games together than me and anyone else, I believe. Seppel/AE are probably close seconds.
But, don't worry. Cyan's not going anywhere permanently. Mafia is in his blood. He'll be back...then he can bulldog you to lynch.
Gotta tell you, though. After going head to head with Cyan, if you're successful (as I've been all but 1 time) you'll be ready to go head to head with anyone. I promise you that.
The best example of me and Cyan going at it has got to be in Indiana Jones Mafia. Ogre was pretty good, too, but Seppel did most of the work on that. Hecatea's not bad for it, either, but Indy is definitely the best. If I had stuck to my gut and kept pushing him, I might have been town MVP that game.

We even have Mafia!!
It's not 'because of my personality', it's because of bad blood between myself and multiple members of the MTGS Staff(and they're all Admins as far as I can tell). Which I guess is..because of my personality, but it's not because of anyone in the mafia community. It's unfortunate, but, I've come to terms with it.
And I'm still around to review games, incidentally. And post in these non-game threads.
I've never been masons with you...I was vanilla in Magic Mafia.
I've only been masons twice:
With Robroy in Battle Royale Mafia
and with AlphaInsidious in Harry Potter Mafia.
Actually I think i was masons with Axelrod in Mushroom Kingdom, but replaced out early.
Logical Reasoning is dead; Long Live Stupidity
My favorite anti-Cyan story is where I took him down day one of Danger City Mafia. Also fun times, but moreso for me than him I'm sure.
Then there's the time he walked all over us in his first game ever, Star Trek Mafia.
I've always enjoyed playing with Cyan - we usually have at least one fight a game, but the general rule has always been whichever person dies first, the other is scum.
V/LA: 3/21-3/24 & 3/27-3/29
Hmm, I stand corrected.
I'm not sure anymore, but when you played heavily, I felt like we could both completely read each other. Like that game on WIFOM. As soon as I got NKed, I messaged you and was like 'so you're scum right'..of course. And yeah, when you got me in Danger it was really impressivel.
Very much so - at our playing peak, I think we certainly read each other very well more often than not.
V/LA: 3/21-3/24 & 3/27-3/29
Random Mafia 2 Town MVP
'08 MTGS Fantasy Football Overall Champion
Best Non-SK Neutral Performance (Individual)
And then swinkee tried to throw us both under the bus and instead we all died. I disliked him until I forgot about him.
The original Trek was a fabulous performance, I must agree- especially after losing broken double-life mafia bateleur on day 1 like that!
Cyan, I know we haven't
alwaysoften got along in mafia, and it's sometimes been a gigantic royal pain in the ass playing against you, but it's also been a great rivalry and working you out has never been easy despite how long I've played against you. Many good scum are good scum at the price of being horrible townies, but apart from a couple of games we won't mention now you're actually a good and underrated townie player (if often aggravating), and that's tricky for someone with such a long track record and well known behaviour style.Your unflinching style has also spared many players the agony of a day (especially a day 1) where no-one will move the game forward, and I'm on record previously as noting how important that is (and you as the best proponent of it) to keeping games enjoyable and moving along.
And if nothing else, I'll forever appreciate you for Kung Fu and hate you for DOTA
Cyan's Impossible Mafia was also partial inspiration for the idea; I figured there's a lot of other players and setups out there aside from Cyan who need some lovin'. CIM also gave me the idea that we really ought to find ways to allow more players to participate in potentially landmark games, so that random.org isn't such a cruel mistress. I love the idea of a flagship game that the entire forum has a hand in, even if they're not slashed in. It's about community - so bringing together the whole community seems like the right thing to do.
But before that can happen, I need some material to work with. I'm hoping you guys can help me with it.
1. My major interest is in memorable quotes from older games - like Arim did for MTGS Redux (plan on giving any content, cc? etc.). I'm sure there's all sorts of great material out there, but I can't possibly find it on my own.
2. In terms of old school players, I'm pretty familiar with folks who should make the list, and I'm familiar with a handful of the new players. But since I haven't played in more than a handful of games the past year, I thought I should gather some suggestions on folks who have been around only for the past couple of years who might be good to research and include - especially if there's memorable incidents involving them. Speaking of memorable incidents, those involving older players would be worth mentioning to, especially if it's from a game I didn't play in and wouldn't have a good chance of knowing about.
3. I'm probably going to need a co-mod to help me run this sucker: vote counts, and abilities. I may also need additional assistants to fulfill a very special idea...but I'll be contacting folks about that latter bit. Privately.
4. If anyone has ideas for roles and mechanics based on past games/memorable incidents/players, I'd be happy to take a look at those, too. PM me. Don't post here.
5. For players who may be featured in the game (that's anyone and everyone reading this, and I'll bug anyone who slips through the cracks later), I'd love to have a little basic info to work with. A few paragraphs description of your personality, your job. Background info. Maybe a picture. Maybe some anecdotes from your life, or your time on the site. PM or post here. Enough that I could write a role PM and maybe some flavor scenes.
Vote Ganderin for not providing flavor.
Example:
Azrael, aka Greg McCleery
Recently graduated law school, looking forward to new career as bum. "Famous" (not famous) MTG writer on TCGplayer.com. Can leap tall buildings with a single bound, and gains one extra vote every time he posts on a multiple of 40. Known for dispensing points, sinister use of emoticons, and vigging claimed doctors for no good reason (Aezwolg). Designed Sin City Mafia, and has been trying to live up to that game ever since. Benevolent mafia moderator and council member. Much more vivacious around close friends and on the interwebs than elsewhere. Used to chill out with the rebels on Misetings and GG, and has a history of activism in MTGS staff/user relations. Voracious reader, occasional writer. Due to be married next summer. Lives in small-town Ohio. One sister, studying to be an archaeologist. Father is a minister.
Absolutely agree with this.
Oh, man, I have a ton of quotes here in my blog.
Oh, here's some of my favorite moments.
Seppel's Capt Hammer false claim in Joss Whedon. (See blog)
Cyan accidentally killing himself by shooting Axelrod the bus driver and winning the town the game in Indiana Jones Mafia.
Cyan the Rapper in Highlander.
Being Masons with Seppel and taking you out.
My amazing false claim in American Pie Mafia (winner of best false claim 2010)
Either of these options sounds really cool depending on when the game runs and how much I'll have to do until then. The new job has severely limited my time on here.

Guardman, Neutral Dog in a Hat
Currently a consultant, but if you ask him what he consults he will simply say yes and tell you how much he charges per hour. Despite his long time playing (he considers having over twenty games on this site a long time) he has sort of a pathetic win record with pure scum and town win conditions. But has an extremely high win percentage compared to most others with neutral and alternate/additional win conditions and has proven to be able to play his strongest when he is looking out for number 1 and currently himself as number 1 stole his lunch money and they are no longer on speaking terms. His most memorable performances are in The Asphodel Meadows were he somewhat successfully held the town hostage as town for the last couple of days so that they would fulfill his additional win condition. Other memorable performances include in Kaizers Mafia where he won as the scum lover and successfully pulled off convincing the town that he was a mason and sort of screwing over his scum team by deciding to win as a lover rather than scum. Other famous performance is in Ged's Normal where as the Neutral Hitman sort of, kind of won the game for the town. He has successfully (?) modded two games so far on Sally, Demonata Mafia where somehow a Malfunctioning Computer Mouse was lynched and revealed to be the Toyota Car Manufacturing Company in disguise, and Gabriel Highschool Mafia where, well, you are probably better off reading it where good times were had by all, except Cyan. Has a knack for killing AI whenever he is the SK... oh and AI always turns up scum when he does it.
As for memorable moments:
1. RafK fake sending a PM to his alter ego, Zuzu Petals, in GHS Mafia to convince everyone that Zuzu and RafK were masons.
2. Those damn Chimes winning it in Sword of Truth Mafia.
3. Lynching Joboman who was pretty much the confirmed cop in Annorax's Bastard Mafia.
4. Cyan killing himself in Indiana Jones Mafia.
5. Seppel believing he was invincible in Symbiote Mafia.
6. Nakamura and all his wonderful gimmicks.
7. Trying to translate a jordman post.
Leading the town almost single-handedly in Hetalia. I'm sure you remember that Az. You were victim #2 of my scumhunting. TIK was the first, which I rallied the ENTIRE TOWN to lynch instead of Johnthemaster. Should have continued to listen to my gut, though, and killed off E_P, but c'est la vie!
Artifice's fake daykill of me in Iji (the flavor provided by Seppel made everyone laugh).
pinkfloyd's mix-up of Iji and Amnesia where I drew a chart and he drew a counter-chart that had absolutely nothing to do with the chart I drew, but claimed that it proved I was scum.
Amb Laq/Clock King's multiple personality disorder in Star Trek Myriad Universes II.
My constant tendency to mislynch pinkfloyd.
fluffyn00b claiming scum in his signature 2 games in a row.
Yanni mentoring Seppel.
Claiming to be a Super Saint in Super Mario World Mafia, which was a Basic.
Epic Doc/Watcher/Vig combo in Agatha Christie with Burstinatrix and Seppel, respectively, after I got ran up to L-2 on Day 1 and Burst claimed with no provocation.

atlseal, Former Scum Extraordinaire
A computer programmer that decided to start up playing this game during college. His experience before taking a long break existed primarily of the random number generator seeing fit to almost certainly place him in a mafia role. Some would say it's luck, but the amount of data supporting the opposite goes to show that he's a better scum player than he first appears. The town has never succeeded in winning a game when atlseal was mafia. After his return, he's been reserved to play almost exclusively for the side of the town and is known for wild theories and plans that are either flat-out genius or insane. Lives with his wife in Dallas, TX while working on missile guidance system software, so don't **** with him.
Mafia memories of my actions:
- Elegant Mafia where he suicided day 1 in a move that killed two town but might have been the catalyst for helping the town win
- Matrix mafia where he:
1. Narrows down the cult leader to about 6 players N1 and false claims a cop result on one of them (Kraj) to have that player turn out to be the real cult leader. Thus furthering his survivability as scum.
2. Activated a hiding ability just before he would have been killed by the SK
If you don't mind one of the newbs joining in on the fun,
I'm Wheat_Grinder. Started playing Mafia just a few months ago, to moderate success. I've got a knack for being forced to claim in basics, still seeming scummy, but not getting lynched (still have yet to be!). I hail from Minnesota. I was super awkward as a kid, but figured out my niche a few years ago. On MTG: Started playing around Conflux, have started playing less since college. On MTGS: Mostly hang around in Forum Games, and am a member of the Crafters, for which I contributed our story (voiced by Kank, pictures by pet_snake and others) for the last clan contest. I've got a pair of scars on my head that make an 11 from two times as a kid from when I 1. fell down the stairs and 2. ran into a corner that was jutting out. Have never broken a bone. I am currently attending the University of Minnesota, where I plan to get a degree in Materials Science and Engineering (basically, we make the stuff you want to make stuff out of.)
Memorable moments:
Ah man all the ones I can think of are still ongoing.
I guess the two biggest things are 1. Always has flipped town. 2. Has never been lynched, even though I always seem scummy.
I guess that's another thing: I almost always scum-slip, even though I've always been town. God help me when I'm scum.
I'm Yanni
Not very good at Mafia but I try my best... most of the time. I come from Rural Maine (which explains why I'm so bad at mafia, AE). Shalako Mentored me and made my scum play sort of okay. Currently getting my Ph.D.
My favorite Mafia moments.
- Seppel and I in basic 45 with "You''re welcome and goodnight"
- Mentoring Seppel
- Moderating games
- Calling all of Digicooldad's claims fake because they are.
- Tunneling Pink Floyd to mislynches.

Mechanical/Electrical Engineer that is living in Houston with my wife. I stopped playing MTG a few years ago but still enjoy playing mafia here more than other places I have tried. I have been pretty solid of late and on fire as scum, not a surprise since I have won a lot as scum. Never the best, never the worst, I suppose my only definitive trait is not having a meta. I started my career with 10 loses in a row as E_P. I have an odd love of gimmicks and seem to be more successful with them. Enjoied MTG:Darkness while kpaca was there, and wishes some of the News players would come here.
Memorable moments:
- The Beary gimmick.
- Coming from an impossible spot (and recruiting Seppel specifically) in Hetelia.
- Acing Ged's normal only to have Guardman steal the final moment.
- Getting ced lynched in CC II (including changing Cyans mind) as Ahasver.
- I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them. I've witnessed a lot, though.

My apologies for the off-topic post, but I actually know this joke.. would you like to hear it?
So a lawyer, an archaeologist, and a minister are out hunting one day when a terrible storm comes into the area, blinding snow and stinging winds. The three run for their cars but get desperately lost in the wood, wandering aimlessly until the come across a small wood cabin in the middle of nowhere. Having no choice, they go inside, only to find the interior warm and clean, but no owner to be seen, the only truly distinguishing feature that the cast iron stove has been strung up in the middle of the room using wire, old bricks, and other bric-a-brac. It seems to hover in mid-air for no good reason. The conversation quickly turns to why such a thing should be.
"Clearly," said the Lawyer, "the owner of this cabin knows the law. The floor doesn't have a fireproof metal-or-stone plating to protect the wooden cabin from catching on fire and they know that they'll be liable if the fire burns down half the forest. Thus they've minimized the risk as much as possible by making sure no hot metal touches anything wooden, as any law-abiding citizen would do."
"You're way off," says the archaeologist. "From the seclusion away from society of the cabin, we can easily tell that this.. thing... is merely the most efficient way to disperse heat throughout the rooms of the domicile. By placing it in mid-air, like the ancient Mesopotamians with their suspended lanterns, it simply provides the most efficient transfer of needed heat..

"I don't think that's it," says the minister. "I think this is an unconscious cry for the will of the Almighty to bless this cabin. Notice that the heat comes from above, and provides ample opportunity to bask in the heat from below.. much like the love of the Almighty. This is a work of the soul, gentlemen, a bit crude but obviously made with much love."
The three grumble at each other for a while when, suddenly, the owner of the cabin, a grizzled prospector with a great bushy beard, bangs the door open carrying a new load of firewood. He is immediately rushed by all three of his newfound visitors, each asking why he would tie his stove suspended to the ceiling. Was it an act of a lawful citizen, an efficient call-back to ancient cultures, or a task of the spirit?
"Oh, it ain't nothing like that," said the man. "I just had to put it up like that because I didn't have enough stovepipe to put it all the way to the ground."
Gets very emotionally involved in games of Mafia, perhaps too much. Is simultaneously incredibly motivated and incredibly lazy when it comes to mafia; I do lots of work in being better at scumhunting, but pay almost no attention to being good at convincing other players. Wrote an article.
