Me.For all the **** people give Ryker, I can't find a man who can get his lynch better than an active townRyker.
I don't think I've ever had an opportunity to where I wanted you lynched.Nope.
But has Ryker ever been able lynch me?
dayvigs definetly don't count lol
Then I think I could bring that up because I don't think Ryker's ever lynched me.Nope.

Yeah, but I have.Then I think I could bring that up because I don't think Ryker's ever lynched me.
Though I really wanna lynch Ryker one game just cuz I think it'd be the funniest thing.
Missed this but yeah. Stupid having to replace out. >.<"^ >We tried in Ducktales and failed.
forgot about discworldDnD you little backstabber! I tried protecting you as the newbie since it was like your first game. ;_;
Also DKR we both know I don't count.
But I have lynched you as well, KSSU/Discworld. So technically we are two for two.
Dissidia .Then I think I could bring that up because I don't think Ryker's ever lynched me.![]()
Active scumRyker.For all the **** people give Ryker, I can't find a man who can get his lynch better than an active townRyker.
pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftActive scumRyker.
Also hey Glyph I see you lurkin'.
If Bingo makes you feel like you got some big muscles maybe you should take note son cuz you been slackin'. Your mafia muscle is gettin all saggy and gross like an OLD PEOPLE. You don't want to be like an OLD PEOPLE do you!?!? With OLD PEOPLE MUSCLES?!?!?!??!
Step it up I want Bingo-level play all day err day
Honestly Soup, that thing that you're posting is not going to "teach" you anything.
Static reads are bad. Unless you can pin all scum immediately (guess how many people I think can do that hint hint less than one), your reads should be scrutinized and malleable. The rest of it is having your **** together enough to not be too malleable.
That means that, if you have your **** even 1% together, you should probably be suspicious of every scum slot at least once. That's assuming you don't die N1 or something, heh.
What do you teach yourself by keeping this record? In one of my earliest games I had all three scum pinned on D1 -- at one point. However, before long, various mafiatastic stupidities and such arose and eroded my focus. Town lost that game, as well, so I don't get to go "hurhur, had that **** down". Town lost, which means that although I had my **** together at one point, it was not together enough to go down the drain without flooding the toilet and okay this analogy is getting convoluted but you get me.
I haven't read most of those games. However, I read a lot of Bingo. Honestly, I'd forgotten you were even in it. But, if you did read Glyph in that game, you should be focusing more on the fact that he's the only correct read you had (at any point), and despite this he was able to win the game literally singlehandedly.
Not "hahaaa I HADDD YOUUU GLYPHHHH TOO BAD TOWN SUCKS GR" or whatever. That is very meaningless in the context of the game.
Dexter's another good example, although I've only heard of that game, haven't read it. You once again TOOOOTALLY had Glyph. Awesome. Except he cc'd the cop, and got him lynched. Which means, once again, your read was meaningless.
Pulp Fiction is a particularly egregious one. The only time you expressed suspicions of me were in your crackpot too-much-ganja scumteam theorycrafting. After that I was all town, all the time. And then you died. Similarly, you didn't do much of anything to put Gandhi in danger.
And yet, you helped lynch Laundry. You know what you can take credit for in that game? Helping to lynch Laundry.
You're still cramming this Epic Mafia mentality down the windpipe of your play, and asphyxiating it as a result. I played EM. I was good at it. And yes, there were a lot of frustrating I HAD YOUUUUUU moments where it really did come down to who can be louder or whatever or stupid townies or what have you. But forum mafia is not epic mafia. In forum mafia you have the time to investigate and communicate, and do both of these thing well. And then you have time to push.
Your ability to supposedly read people accurately over time is not going to help you. It's going to hinder you. You're going to focus on maintaining your meta expertise instead of focusing on learning what fundamental aspects of forum mafia you are doing wrong or right and acting accordingly to improve your play. Y'know, to get your **** together, as I'm fond of saying.
And that meta thang is gonna **** you anyway. You've told yourself that you read Glyphscum (Sclyph?) correctly every time. Guess where that's gonna lead? Some day Glyph's gonna be a townie, townin' up the place, and he's gonna do some null tell you've identified as your GLYPHSPERTISE SCUMTELL and get him mislynched. If you are so lucky to convince the town of that lynch! Maybe they won't, then he'll get lynched later, and then you might get lynched for going so hard after that D1 Glyph ML.
See what I'm saying?
And, honestly, it just doesn't show you anything. It shows you your own rosy evaluation of your play in each game. Gheb bothered me repeatedly in Bioware, but I let him get away with it and briefly convince me he was town late in the game. D5 (or whatever it was, maybe D6) resulted in me randomly getting my **** together at the last minute and pushing Gheb.
If I had second-guessed myself and voted for Nix, the useless inactive coasty unhelpful townie, would I have been keeping a tally where I tell myself how I was totally on Gheb? Nah. Whatever I would tell myself, the facts would be that I didn't make plays that helped get Gheb lynched. My thoughts at one random point where my **** was together don't mean a damn thing without results.
Don't focus on that stuff. Focus on your play. Focus on intricacies. Forum mafia ain't a damn formula.
Active scumRyker's even better than active townRyker because no one ever sees you as scum but me. Gah.Active scumRyker.
inoritepffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
wake me when that ever ends up happening
>=(active scumryker's even better than active townryker because no one ever sees you as scum but me. Gah.
