As town: Prefers analysis over interaction. Likes to write walls and lay out his logic. Lacks direction and can be scatterbrained at times. Overall townie play-style and very easy to follow.

As scum: ???? When the hell have you been scum?

Sarcasm aside.

Soup I can't remember the last time I saw you as town.

As scum your play is pretty solid. However you go out of your way to emulate "town" play and sometimes you end up trying a bit too hard. Also usually your cases as scum as nonsense in the sense that you tend to be unfair to whoever you're making a case against. I think from observing your recent games I've gotten a better idea about how your mind works and it'll be interesting to see if I can read you correctly next time we play.

EDIT: I realize that this is more of a critique than just a description, so just take the description from the critique that I gave you.

Town swords over-thinks at times. It shows that he is genuinely trying to cover the best option and not just go with whatever 'seems' better to him. He also seems to be somewhat reserved. I think he lacks some bark though (Maybe it's because he doesn't really push lynches, just joins wagons or votes for pressure?), but I think he has better reads at the same time. I always mis-read him, I only seen him ONCE as scum in Xiivi's Rusty Guillotine mafia. I don't even KNOW how he was caught. I should re-read that actually. He contributes plenty to discussion as well. I mean, it just seems he is closer to July in playstyle then Zen. Talking about the logic thing basically, where Zen seems to be more gut. (And ignoring July walls : P )

That's all I got so far. Anyone please feel free to correct me, and Swords feel free to comment as well. Don't really know his scum playstyle.

EDIT: Soup, I was scum in rajam's game. Got super prodded to oblivion there. Scum in Vandy's game. town converted to Indyscumlovers with J in nabe's persona mafia. That's it. And the newb maf.

Town: You analyze and try to get town in the right direction, but at times I feel like you look far too much at surface level and even then get into a tunnel vision when you think you are right. You need to back up just a tad and rethink for their perspective.

Scum: Ran has been scum?! Just be more active and don't lurk.

as Town: Your overall style is pretty laid back. You try to walk the fine line of "too Townie to get lynched" and "too scummy to get NK'd". Sometimes you veer off the line, and get killed early for it. You're sometimes too stubborn with your reads. Once you decide that someone is town or scum, it's tough to get you to change your mind, which can result in tunnel vision.

I don't think I've seen ScumRyu

as town: It's easier to see where your going and what your thinking and what's making you think that way, when you started playing I remember you being kinda sheepy and being moreso tuned to figuring your stuff out through other people, but it wasn't like you were doing it blind, it was more like you had your own opinion built and could express it on request. I think now you still may do that in some sense but not to the same ends or to the same degree, now your a lot more confident in how you feel now and you will go out of your way to express it , although sometimes it takes a while for you to do so . Your not really (from my experience) the most vocal player in the thread, but it doesn't always / really matter because when you are there you make your presence more felt / make your time more impactful. When your town you have your head about you , your a bit reactionary in some cases but I think your able to get a handle on yourself and re-evaluate something more objectively. I think your strength lies in being able to fight your own lynches and make people keep reading you and keep trying to figure you out because (at least from my experience) , you always make more sense when I (and I think other people) take a second look at you.

as scum: All I remember from hearing about Persona is that you were a lot more defensive and were playing more to keep yourself alive then to find scum , and that your play overall was careful / safe and a lot more calculated and like you were trying to walk in a townies shoes without being one and it showed. Essentially you weren't able to appear naturally townie and because you were attempting to, it came off odd and forced. I don't really have any advice or tips for being scum (because I'm bad as scum ) except maybe always be careful how you claim and just try to be natural , but don't force yourself to try to be normal.

As town: Always struggles between gut and reads, making for indecisiveness. Tries to be somewhat independent but considers other's people opinions too much to really do that. Never appeals to emotion or whatever, just plays as if it's an 1vScum game and hopes other people agree with him, instead of abusing the fact that opinions can be swayed through fairly simple methods. On the other hand, his openness to others allows him to not be the stubborn ***** that some people on here are.

As scum: Not good enough at emulating the town spirit. Needs to genuinely look for scummy things and genuinely push it. Just needs to do a better job at emulating how a townie plays. You get away with it because you're considered bad as town.

Iunno, Rake often plays in Hydras only.

While playing any faction: emotionally over the top, with bursts of calculated genius.

Plays a very reserved game. (Most likely due to IRL) Hard to read, and can go under the radar as either alignment. (As you can see, I ignored you in ME, you were scum there right?)

While we'll at it, lets rank each other and make more Dgames tier lists!
Yeah and then while we're at it lets whip ***** out and compare who has the best pipe game!

And lets hold hands while we do it to show that even though we're comparing we still don't care all that much and we're all about that camaraderie

Town: This is dated (how long has it been?), I'll admit, but often when pushed hard enough, you'd sort of snap and give out what read as an emotional (not usually logical) reaction. Though not a good reaction, it was something that me and other players would basically react to saying "Yeah, town-Ran would do that." I feel like a good enough manipulator can get you to lash out in certain ways by pushing the right buttons, but IIRC you'd appear pretty townie most of the time. To be honest, it reminds me some of my own early play, though I think I improved in some aspects. (My trademark tunneling, on the other hand...)

Scum: No idea, I don't remember the last time I saw you as scum.

Edit: KevinM, you ninja.

Mother of a ****...is that Nicholas1024?​
THE Nicholas1024?​
This guy...THIS ****IN' GUY. Let me tell ya about Nicholas1024!​
Oh man. Where do I even begin with this ****popsicle? Don't even THINK about posting something that goes against his worldview of mafia in the same game as him. Otherwise you'll find yourself tunneled until the end of time, or what I like to call up Satan's River of Ass without a paddle.​
It's not that he can't change his mind about things. It's that he WON'T! ****! You got somethin' you wanna steer this guy towards? Good ****in' LUCK! I'd have an easier time punching through dried glue! I'd rather kick an ostrich in the **** and let it peck the **** out of my face until its got more potholes than an underpass in Jersey -- right before it decides to be ****in' courteous and fill up the potholes with its waxy cascades of ****!​
Also...when was the last time this guy even played mafia? I'm pretty sure I've played games that were made 30 years ago by no-name developers smoking substances out of apples that are even more relevant than this guy in this day and age. You want critique? You want a review? You wanna learn how to read people? Start with this, you abandoning diarrhea guzzler. Read my ****in' FACE.​
