Your take on my mafia play?

What is a game you know went good because of your influence?

Best drink in the world?

Brewyu wants to drink and mafia, good or bad idea?

You face a dilema, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, you have to skip one.

full interview

Favorite game/ least favorite game/ favorite town performance/least favorite town performace/ favorite mafia performance/least favorite mafia performance/favorite role/least favorite role
Bingo. Not my best performance but already explained above.
Kat's amazing. I also Zen's deadpool game. Least favorite would probably go to Dexter. I have no idea what Chibo was thinking that game but it was just a freaking mess. I liked my performance in Disney so much, just to get swindled by IndyRake. I coulda won that. :mad: Probably Gurenn Laggan. I was an usurper and I literally cost my whole team the game by claiming a PGO. Never again. Tie between simple VT/Vigilante/Cop. Anything that can get me scum faster. I don't like being Doctor. I die a lot as it.

I noticed that you're a hipster. What do you think of Godspeed you! Black Emperor?
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven.

magine that Thom Yorke suddenly died today. Would you pick someone to replace him in Radiohead and who?
I don't think anyone could replace Yorke. I think Radiohead would have to stop making music as Yorke basically makes the whole band. I'm sure Ben Gibbard would try and replace in though, we already know how many other bands he's made.

How come you've never written Fear and Loathing in Epicmafia?
I have. A couple of times. I have a great resentment for that site but I still hang out there for the sake of a couple of cool people and the fact I'm a Moderator now. Each passing day on it is like a living hell, and it only gets worse.

Describe your mafia story in the style of the summary on the back of the DVD box for a Steven Seagal movie.
One man. One destiny. One life. His family murdered. His best friend killed. Everyone he knows and loves is dead. He will dedicate his life to avenge the fallen and strike back with democratic mob justice! The drama! The action! The excitement!

STEVEN SEAGAL IS

THE MAFIA PLAYER

Why is gamut such a fun word to say? Gamut Gamut Gamut
I don't know.

Evil Soup: Slight Return. Why haven't we done this yet?
I don't know. I only hydra with Zen nowadays as it works. I'm not the best hydra partner and I don't really commit as much as I should. I'd love to get in a hydra with marshy though so we can #hbc.

Rake said:
A large black man walks out from some back street your passing by, he tells you he is J, and that your sense of style is seriously lacking , and he wants to get you out of your clothes immediately, how do you react ?
There is a lot of J's in the world. I would probably scream and cry for help. It's probably just rockin anyway, seeing how he's gay. :cool:

Now imagine the same situation, only he tells you he is Rockin, how do you re-act ?
I called that plot twist. I would do the same.

What are the top 5 dumbest things you've ever done on a date assuming you have dated
Haven't dated.

Top 5 ways you would never want to die ?
Never want to die?

Snakes.
Freefalling.
Slow and painful.
Suffocation.
****.

*Shudder*

Pokemon/Digimon or Other
Pokemon. I like Digimon too but it's freaking Pokemon. I used to play that all the time as a kid. Many long car trips of me and my level 55 charizard tearing up the Elite Four.

If you could date any women from any anime , who would it be ?
Ummm..I don't really watch anime. I dont recall having any waifus or things like that, and I think the idea of dating a cartoon is pretty weird.

If you could date any women from any anime , who would it be ?
I can't say. All anime chicks come off as completely fake or extremely *****y. Not the life for me.

You watched Gurren Lagann for the plot, right ?
[collapse='Plot']
[/collapse]

Jokes aside. I really did like the story of Gurren Lagann. The first season was great and the second not so much. I also watched it for the sake of being an over-the-top action packed and hilarious anime. All that good stuff.

Your a League of Legends Champion, what type of champion are you ?
What is your backstory, abilities and ultimate ?
I don't know anything about league. :(

Same question only make it for Zen, EE and Marshy
Your type ?
I'm picky about it. I like an honest girl who isn't afraid to be herself. She has to be cute also, and not dumb. She also has to like my kind of music. I don't like any of those girls that douse themselves in makeup and wear the ****ty clothes.

Describe soup's perfect day
I wake up in the morning to see that there is about a foot of snow on the ground. Everything is closed, along with school. I can go back to sleep.

You get to spend a day hanging with any person from anything ,or anytime, who do you hang with ?
I don't mean to be a tear jerker here but I'd love to hang with my Dad more. he's really distant towards me and we don't talk a lot. I try calling him and doesn't really respond. He shows that he cares in his own way by buying me things, but he doesn't give me any affection. I would like to go back in time to where I was a child and my dad wasn't caught up with this terrible girlfriend of his and when he actually liked spending time with me. I miss it dearly and I would trade anything in the world to have those same experiences again.

Your element type
Wind. I can blow things off and push all the problems I have away from me.

What super power would you want ?
Super speed. It was always my dream to go fast, like sonic usain bolt.

Would you be a villain or hero ?
Neither. I'd be that jerk that abuses his powers for his own gain. I'm not dressing up in pajamas and fighting crime.

What would be your choice for a not so super power ?
Ability to musically talented. I can't sing and I can't dance. I can barely play guitar. I love music and I have a ton of ideas in my head. If I had more talent I could make them come true.

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytheren or Ravenclaw ?
I was Ravenclaw the last time I checked.

Dumbledore or Gandalf ?
Not a potter fan. Dumbledore though.

Star Trek or Star Wars ?
Star Wars. Nostalgia factor for sure on that one.

Favorite Book and/or Books (can include manga)
Not much of a book reader as I used to be. I'm going to make the kid answer and say Captain Underpants. I had all of the series and I used to read it almost every day.

Favorite movie and/or movies
Anything by Pixar. I don't really watch movies and once again this is just the kid factor to me.

You write an award winning novel, what genre is it ?
Auto-biography. I've got quite a story to tell about my life. I could do it if I really got inspired.

You direct an award winning movie, what genre is it ?
Comedy. I love comedy. Humor is one of my greatest assets I would think and all I do is watch comedies or kids movies. I'm such a softy. :/

You start a band and release a white album, what genre is you band ?
Indie. We'd have a really deep band name too.

You star in a movie, who would be your picks for : Your love interest, Your antagonist , Your stunt double ?
I'm not sure. Probably would have to go with jessica alba or something. I'd love to go toe to toe with adam sandler, he hasn't played enough villian roles in movies. Tom Cruise. Because why not?

Weirdest thing you ever saw IRL
A fat gay bartender at pizza hut. I'm not stereotyping, but the way he talked and and pranced around like a queen was weird considering how he looked. He was bald too.

Weirdest thing you have ever seen in mafia
The people who think wasting 10 days to do nothing is a good idea. I remember when days went straight to deadline, and they still do. Just lynch someone, please.

What is life without folly ?
Nothing. Our experiences, good or bad, make us who we are.

Life Goal, one ambitious, one realistic
I want to become a musician. Badly. I explained why in my last answer to you. My realistic one is pretty simple. I want to become successful in life and go to be a graphics designer. I'm gonna try and get into a prestigious art college pretty soon. Wish me luck!

Things any better home wise ?
I sighed deeply when looking at this comment. Not really. It keeps getting worse and my stepdad is laid off. My mom is stressed and taking pain medication. They're fighting a lot and it's just a huge mess. i"m ready to get out of this place as soon as I can, but I worry about my mom. We're pretty broke right now and she's the only one making an income right now. It's sad to think about it.

Quote that describes you
"To understand yourself is to understand others."

5 thing people are always surprised to know about you
1. I'm pretty sociable. I've had people come up to me while I'm just chilling around and give me these weird looks. I can start up conversations easily and I like talking to people. They're honestly surprised and go "You come off way differently than what I expected of you." I also get compliments on my intelligence, which makes me feel good.

2. I don't have a girlfriend. I don't know why but everytime I start a conversation with someone the age old question comes up about if I do or not. I obviously tell them no. I don't get why it's so surprising but I'm not really interested in love right now to get cheesy about it.

3. My taste in music. I'll be wearing my headphones or something and everyone always is like 'what are you listening to?' I explain what I'm listening to and I even go so far to ask them if they want to listen to it. It's like everyone expects the guy that minds his own business to be some sort of alien. I find the perception of people a bit weird on this matter. I'm not a freak.

4. I'm actually nice. People think I'm just this cold-hearted person who doesn't care about anyone. People always tell me I come off as distant. It's not true and I get comments about it.

5. I don't own a blog. I'm always on my computer and always typing away about something. People figure I have a blog I guess? Must be surprising.

5 things people are never surprised to know about you
1. I like my space. It's obvious you can tell I'm pretty introvert in public but not afraid to be extravert when I have to. I'm preserved.

2. Not much of a talker. I can be sociable and I like being sociable but it's not something I like doing all the time. I avoid facebook for some these reasons.

3. I like Video Games. I think it's obvious to tell based on my personality but I really haven't played as much as I used to. I'm moving into my career choice more and I plan to pick up on art more.

4. I'm smart. I'm just that archetype.

5. I have a sense of humor. I joke around a lot and I don't like being a pessimist about everything, but I share the same views of Raziek. I'm a realist above all.

Number one turn off
Explained in my type.

Number one turn on
Good taste in music. I honestly put it pretty high up there. I can't stand Dubstep.

How can one post less but say more ?
Get your point across and make your posting meaningful. Don't clog the thread with crap. I used to do it and you suffer from what I used to do when I was a newbie. Preserve yourself.

Minions OP ?
I dunno.

DAT ASHE ?
League of Legends thing, right? I dunno.

Can you name these cupcakes ?
Nope!

Jeoy said:
Top 10 Pokemon?
Gengar. Wartortle. Heracross. Flygon. Snorlax. Gliscor. Metagross. Wobbafett. Pikachu. Tyranitar.

Favorite Pokemon type?
Ghost because of Gengar.

If you were to make Acrostic into a Pokemon, what moveset, ability, and type would it have?
Fighting-ice type. Kind of like a Golurk.

Same as above, but with yourself.
I'd make myself another Gengar probably.

What copy ability would you give Kirby if he inhaled you?


Touhou da ze? Which character is your favorite? Favorite game?
You just answered it in this post. I love Marisa. Reimu as a close second.



I like UFO the best.

Top 5 favorite Anime and Anime characters?
1. Yu Yu Hakusho
2. Dragonball Z
3. Gurren Laggan
4. Nichijou
5. Cowboy Bebop

I'm a fan of the old anime, but Nichijou was hilarious. Yusuke, Vegeta, Simon, Sakamoto, and Spike, respectively.

What is your favorite Video Gaming system? Why?
Great times with the N64. Can't go wrong with it. It was basically my childhood and has my favorite game, Banjo-Kazooie on it.

Melawl or Barwls? (Not including 64 because I know you like that more than the other two lol.)
Brawl for the sake of hacking and Brawl -. I need to verse Juu again sometime.

Why did you never talk to me in survivor? D':
I didn't really talk to anyone! I kind of blew everything off and just coasted hoping I could attain victory by HoH performances. It sucked that game got cancelled.

Xonar said:
You're music taste is inferior to mine.
I hear everybody you know is more relevant than I know, but have you seen my records? :smirk:

You're anime taste too.
I don't really watch anime anyways. You could suggest something to me and I might give it a chance.

Dark Horse said:
Last three songs you purchased and why. (An entire album counts as one song)
I don't purchase songs really I just
obtain them in a less than moral way.

#1) Lesser Matters by The Radio Dept.

Excellent album and a ton of catchy tunes that really just capture an essence of lazy sunday. It's in a genre what some people call Dream Pop. I would reccomend listening to Why won't you talk about it? and Against the tide to get a feel of what their music is like. I personally like Bus and Slottet #2. They go great together if you're listening to the album, which is honestly the better option.

If you like them, go ahead and give Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith a listen.

#2) This Is Happening, LCD Soundsystem

James Murphy is amazing. I don't feel like I need to describe how great this album is rather than highly suggest to listen to it. It really is an acquired taste though, so I won't blame you if you're turned off by it. I will shake my head in shame and continue to dance haphazardly to You Wanted A Hit.

#3) Snowmine, Laminate Pet Animal

I have no idea why this band hasn't at least hit youtube fame yet. Their style is kind of Fleet Foxes, but really what makes all of their songs so damn good is that it's backed by an orchestra along with some really solid vocals. The lyrics are pretty impressive too. Give Let Me In a curious listen and see if you like it. Move on to their other great songs like The Hill, Nervous, and Beast In Air, Beast In Water.

Bardull said:
Favorite soup & why?
Chicken Noodle Soup. Gotta go with the classics.

Why the name "Soup"?
There's a funny story behind this. When I first joined smashboards, I joined under the name Soupamario. It's a huge wordplay of "Super Mario". I was 15, okay? Anyways, I did it just for the sake of online smash and so people would recognize me. My name on there was/is Supa, but it was taken. Thus the great age of Soup and Mario went on for a long time, even though I really resented my name. I finally got to shorten it down to soup not too long ago, and don't even mention Ragnarock. I don't even know what I was thinking.

Favorite Megaman X series game?
Probably X2 or X5. X2 is so underrated to me. All of the stages were memorable and the music kicked ***. Bubble Crab is the best. X5 just because of the Zero aspect.

Favorite Megaman X series soundtrack?
X6, while being a broken piece of ****, had an amazing soundtrack. Blaze Heatnix. Infinity Mijinion. Commander Yammark. Enough said. Special credits to X5 for this great ending song.

Have I ever shown you guys this? No? Good. Now listen to it. I would also reccomend U-GEN.

Favorite Megaman X series power up armor for X?
Probably the final gold armor you get at the final stage of X3. All chip upgrades and everything. Overpowered and glorious.

Favorite Megaman X series boss power?
Ryuujin with Zero. Fire uppercut.

Favorite Megaman X series character and why?
Zero. Hands down. One of my favorite fictional characters too. Everything about him is badass, his attacks, his music, everything. He is a walking demigod. Not even capcom could kill him off.

How should Capcom end the Megaman X series, that is, if Capcom actually decides to end it?
They need to do something about that gap between Megaman X6 and Megaman Zero. X7 and X8 aren't canon. I haven't heard jack about the Elf Wars and it could make a good game if capcom tried hard enough.

Favorite video game ever?
I want to give the title to Megaman X all together, but Banjo-Kazooie is probably my favorite game of all time. I'd say it's a close tie between them. I don't judge my favorite games like I judge my women.

Hypothetical situation:

You've decided to take a break from your normal life and visit Hawaii. On the second day of your visit, you find yourself tanning in one of the world's most beautiful beaches, Lanikai. However, your tanning session is cut short when you notice that there are three beautiful women who seem to be in a state of anxiety. Being the suave manly man that you are, you've made it your goal to help these beautiful women in distress.

After talking to them for a couple minutes, you find out that they're in distress because they can't seem to decide who is the prettiest among them. They then turn to you and pop the obvious question: "So...you seem like a pretty handsome manly man, whom do you feel is the most attractive piece of *** ever between the three of us, soupadoopa?"

Knowing that letting this question go unanswered could mean the end of the world, you realize that you MUST state which of these goddesses you feel is the most attractive.

HERE ARE THE LADIES:
I choose Hewitt. Happy?

Song to play at your funeral
Let Down, by Radiohead. I will seriously put this in my will.

Song to play before you kick ***
There is no song to buildup when I'm going to kick ***. The needle drops when I take the first punch.

Recognize.

Song to play while you're kicking ***
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs-SxiWXS8Y

If you were stuck on an Island with only one album (And a way of playing it), what would it be?
My computer. I can nullify that last question because I have a ton of albums on it. :bee:

Song(s) that is (/are) the soundtrack to your life
Bascially anything by Brand New. (Not the actual song name)

When I ever feel down, Jesse Lacey is there to pick me up.
One of my favorite bands too.

A squid eating dough from a polyethelene bag is fast and bulbous, get me?
Kind of?

On a scale of ten to zen, how much do you love me?
Zen. Because you're Zen. <3

Stop being emo about mafia and hydra with me again.

marshy said:
rank the radiohead albums from best to worst and briefly talk about what you enjoy/dislike about them
It's so hard to rank them as they have their own special qualities. I will attempt to however.

#1 Spot goes to Kid A. What I really love about it and why I gave it the #1 spot is that the more you listen to it, the better it gets. I remember my first listen being really meh about it, but I went back to it and I got so immersed with it. Thom Yorke just pulls you in and you literally get this otherwordly feeling. I have zoned out in the whole world around me just listening to it sometimes. The experience is amazing.

#2 Spot goes to In Rainbows. It's not immersive as Kid A but every song is so good and as one reviewer said before, it made Radiohead come back down the earth. The songs were relatable and catchy. Yorke sounded amazing as ever. It was just an incredible album.

#3 Spot for OK Computer. Coming straight off The Bends and toppling over it like it was nothing. Some songs are just so moving that it almost brought a tear to my eye.

The rest are just massive tossups to me and I haven't given them as much interest as the top 3 I just mentioned. King of Limbs I feel tried too hard to capture the essence of Kid A again, but failed miserably. Radiohead will never make another Kid A album again, and that's fine with me.

top 10 of their songs
Man, that's even harder. There's not really any songs I dislike from Radiohead. There are some I prefer from others but I can't rate it like that.

what are some other bands you enjoy?
There is a ton. I honestly couldn't name them all. The ones I already posted out are probably my favorites, but there are a few that I haven't already named.

Broken Bells, Arcade Fire, Interpol. I typed a lot more but I decided to omit it out. Those 3 came to mind. Usually what my title is what I'm listening to or my current trend. I do it on my EM page too.

talk about how baller the ssx series is and what drew you to it
I don't remember. I played it at my mom's boyfriend at the time and got really hooked to it. My first game was tricky for the PS2. It has become one of my favorite series since then. RIP EA Big.

what are some tracks you enjoy from those games?
Autopilot Off - Clockwork (SSX 3)
Rock Star - N.E.R.D (SSX 3)
The Chemical Brothers - Leave Home (SSX 3)
Jurassic 5 - Red Hot (On Tour)
Billy Talent - Red Flag (On Tour
Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country (On Tour)
LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House (On Tour)
OK Go - Here It Goes Again (On Tour)
Foster The People - Houdini (SSX 2012)

i see youve hosted megaman games. that is rather swag. talk about the megaman series (as well as any other ones like x .exe zero etc) and what you like about them
I love the Megaman series. I never got into the classics as much as I did X. I played the **** out of the Zero series. I explained a bit of what I liked with Bardull's questions but I didn't explain what I really liked about them. I really like X the best because of the awesome music and great level design. Everything was so rewarding, and even harder. It took me forevver to beat that ****ing spider in the first X game. I also love Zero, as already stated.

]zen seems to be your favorite hydra buddy. what do you enjoy about the no lynch hydra? how do your approaches to the game mesh?
We agree on reads easily and understand each others' thought process. Our style is slightly different but is balanced on that factor above.

has dgames changed at all during your time here? if so how? are games being played differently?
It has changed a little bit. I don't have any other old newbies from back when I started though so it's pretty sad to see my buddy Asdioh no longer playing. Games used to play out to deadline in dayphase but recently we've been able to get that mindset out. I'd like to thank you for that and no longer do I have to sit through 10 days of absolutely nothing.

remember when we got bodied in that sheriff game? good times
circus ****ed us outta hear :(

why are we still in dayphase
****ty swftown wants to wait for coasting scum to never post and half of the playerlist is v/la where is my gun when i need it

Xonar said:
Those 5 dgamers you're gonna chill with in a later question? Give each of them an element (earth wind water fire) and explain why.
Zen is water because he's crying too much about mafia lately. (chin up bro)
Circus is fire as he's setting fire to my curtains right now. (THAT WAS A GAY JOKE)
Washed is wind because of Michigan? I don't know. He seems like a breezy guy.
marshy is earth because he's hardbody aw yeah :cool::cool:
J is the element of Heart. :)

Also, Marshy is right. Why are we in dayphase? You just got a gun. Shoot the hardest-to-read dGamer before he turns out to be scum and endgames you >: ( Who'd you shoot? Why is that person so hard to read?
I shoot July as I simply cannot read her and her walls scare me. They're written so damn well and I just can't shake them. I would end her before she ended me.

If you could hang out with 5 Dgamers that you haven't already met in irl who would they be?
That would be tough as I don't really dislike any of you. the answer I gave to Xonar would probably be my 5 but I feel bad as I'm leaving out some really awesome people. DGames do Disney needs to happen.

If you could invent one law the entire world had to follow, what would it be?
It is now against the law to listen to or to make dubstep music.

You're granted 3 wishes, with no possible work around for more wishes, what do you wish for?
1st wish is to for infinite wealth and money.

2nd wish is for world peace.

3rd wish is to end starvation.

I don't need anything else after I'm set for life, why not do something good with them?

Most improved Dgamer?
Hard to say. I've always liked Kantrip but I feel like he's rough around the edges. Someone who has improved for me recently and shown it would probably be BSP. He did really well in Mass Effect and I hope he sticks around. Honorable mention to Rake who just needs to work out some kinks.

If you had the choice to kill anyone and get away with it, would you? Why and why not?
I would kill
Nobody.
I don't think I could ever kill someone, not ever. It's so wrong and it's immoral and I hate blood anyways.

Same question but replace kill with tickle.
I would tickle gova so he can be like :gova:

What made you choose your username?
Also explained.

Top 5 favorite music artist?
James Murphy
Jesse Lacey
Thom Yorke
Conor Oberst
Jeff Magnum

Favorite Food
Spaghetti.

Favorite Candy
Mike & Ike or Skittles.

Favorite Anime
Probably Yu Yu Hakusho. I rewatched it a couple of years back. Still holds up.

Favorite Movie
Toy Story 2. Nostalgia factor.

Favorite Color
Blue. It goes so well with everything.

Favorite Dgames Player
I don't really have a favorite. marshy you would be close to a favorite if I had to pick one.

Favorite Dgames Player other than Zen
Circus or J? I like their play-style in games.

Favorite uh animal
Dogs. Man's best friend.

Add me on FB?
Don't have a FB? I can't stand FB sometimes. Drama everywhere.

What is your biggest dream in life?
To grow up successful. I want to go to college and go on to make a big paycheck, so my kids don't have to live the life I did.

Name the top 5 mafia players of Dgames of all time excluding myself and Vinyl.
Evil Eye
th3kuzinator
marshy
Swiss
vanderzant

Evil Eye gets the obvious spot for just being Evil Eye. I think Kuz has proven himself to be a top player over and over again and he's got enough dice and credibility to be up there. marshy speaks for himself and so does Swiss. I really like vanz' style and I think he also proves himself to be a top player over and over again.

What changes have you intentionally made in your play to improve throughout your mafia career as both town and scum?
As town, I stopped the ****ty gambits. I think that was a pretty easy step but what I would consider drastic is that I started to focus on reading intention of players and understanding them better. Before, I would go into games completely blind and only read at surface level. There's more to it but I can't say that you can't win just going off surface level play. Finding intentions is really important to discern alignment and something I look for. I think you pinned it correctly before describing how I play, I look for the guilty conscience in posts, and vice-versa. I have my own secrets towards this however, and for scum I just emulate what I would do as town.

Pearl Jam, Nirvana or Soundgarden?
I like Soundgarden the best out of all them. Nirvana for a close second for the sake of Kurt Cobain. I never really cared for Pearl Jam that much.

How are things going IRL? What are you plans for the recent future?
Outside out of home life -- Pretty good. School is still school and I'm trying to find a job. It's boring. I spend a lot of weekends in my room doing absolutely nothing. I have begun to enjoy school and I can't wait until I graduate so I can move on to College. My plans for the future is getting out of this house as soon and then living on my own. I need a job and a car before that though, and my parents refuse to help me with either. I haven't even taken my driver's test yet and they won't even let me drive their cars. My mom gets so paranoid when I'm driving, and it's ridiculous seeing how she's sitting there talking on the damn phone driving with one hand. Sigh.

We have a still unused hydra, bro. Do you remember its name? When are we gonna run it?
I don't remember it honestly. We could bring it back sooner or later.

From Dissidia to current games, your play has improved drastically. In all your games, which one would you say was the turning point in how you approached mafia?
I think there is many turning points for me. I think I finally started the path of improvement around D. Gray Man. I wouldn't say I was even close to where I am right now back then, but I really started to understand mafia more then and I felt happy with my play there. That would be my first turning for me and I believe my second, while tragic, was Awkward Moments. I came back from a hiatus after playing epicmafia for a while. I was pretty bad that game but what turned for me is that I realized that Epicmafia wasn't going to help me get better. I went on hiatus because I got caught up in EM again and I stopped playing at DGames for a little bit. I feel the spectrum has changed for me and I hardly play at EM anymore. It's a lost cause. My Third had to be G3S, which really has lead up to how I am today. I feel I did really good that game and I wasn't a complete nuisance, and then of course it lead up to my stronger performances like Skies of Arcadia and Full Life Consequences. That really shaped me up to the player I am today, and I safely say that I'm still not at the level I want to be. I improve in some way every single game.

Hickvile?
Yeah. I live in the country. I'm actually more of a city boy but my Mom and Stepdad thought it would be a good idea to move out in the middle of freaking nowhere. I get no phone service out here and I run on internet slower than dial-up. There are people at my school that literally wear their hunting gear to school, and people are completely okay with that.

Upper Michigan vs Lower Michigan?
Are you talking the UP too? I live in the middle of Michigan and I've only visited some of the other areas. I'd have to give lower Michigan the win on this one, maybe for the fact once you go up north you hit cities like Traverse City and Big Rapids, and there isn't **** to do there. At least in lower Michigan you have Lansing and whatnot. Shout-out to Washed for keeping it cool down there. Oh yeah, Michigan tip to avoid places like Rockford, they're all a bunch of rich snobs.

Secret town hidden in Michigan?
Have you ever heard a town called Freeport? No? Yeah, it's about 5 blocks big at the least. There is absolutely nothing there.

You see a bear, what do you do to it?
Depends if the Bear seen me. If he did, I'd run and get outta there as fast as I can. If not, I would try and sneak away to make sure it didn't hear me. I'm not an outsdoorman.

You have the power to turn anything not alive into Candy, what do you turn and make?

Link cool?
Link is a pretty rad guy. Dresses up in green pajamas and fights a pig demon to save a princess from a third-world country.

Megaman X6 da bess?
The worst. You want me to rant about how broken and terrible that game is? I have one word for you. Gate's Lab. If you ever wanted to see the pinnacle of bad game design then just play that level. It's not hard, it's inconsistent and broken. There is literally a section where you're a sliding sheet of ice on a ramp with a pit of death along with one huge ****ing robot in your way.

HideOfBeast tells it best.

Batman or Superman?
Batman. He always carries Kryptonite in his belt. What doesn't he carry in that belt? I bet he even has a compartment for snacks when he gets hungry.

Spiderman or Iron man?
Iron Man. Spiderman is cool and all but I'm pretty sure with Stark's technological prowess he would get squashed like a bug.

Epic mafia has a terrible habit of follow the cop and the good players are ridiculously egotistical to be horrible ****s. But what is the barely redeemable things about the place?
There isn't much. All of the vets just hang to stroke their egos and get mad at the newbies who refuse to learn the game. There are a couple of cool people around and I only hang out there because I have a history with it and the fact I'm now stuck in Moderation. I really like everyone on the Mod Team however and if you want to know the really redeemable factor of Epicmafia it's that everyone up there actually knows what they're doing and it's run really well. I didn't like some of the things at first but I've been a mod there for a month and I can safely say that I appreciate it. Moderators have to go through so much and get so much **** from everyone, you really need a thick skin if you're going to handle 50 reports in a day just to get appealed and some kid screaming at you because you didn't refund their game. I think it's a pessimistic way of looking at things but the attitude in both training and competitive is so wrong that it's sickening. I've written a rant about in the social a couple of times.

@Soupadoopamario: Every Megaman X boss in existence is thrown into a large stadium similar to that of Rome's colliseum. They are all required to fight each other to the death in a free-for-all style brawl. Who wins? Note: Shield Sheldon immediately gets wrecked in the beginning because I hate that boss and he doesn't deserve to live.
Considering that certain bosses have certain weakness' to each other, I would say due to the clunky mechanics of all the mavericks that it would end in a draw. Seriously, you build a super robot and make him weak to one specific element. Who thought this was a good idea?

Circus said:
Soup, what's your reaction to Zen double perma-banning himself all the way across the sky? Think it'll last?
Nah. He'll be back. He's being emo about Mafia for some reason. I'll let him be.

How do you feel about the fact that at least 50% of the non-Mafia related questions you're going to be asked will be related to music?
Good. I love talking about Music and I love sharing it. I already feel bad I'm leaving out some really good bands that I haven't suggested because I get questions like 'top 10' and It's like 'man I can't rank that but i'll try...'

What would you say, broadly speaking, initially tends to draw you to your favorite artists? (lyrics, melodies, P4K approval, the singer's hair, etc.)
I definitely appreciate some good lyrics. It shows creativity and music is an art. I feel like modern music doesn't have that, and it's why I don't listen to mainstream. This isn't about my hipster opinions but let me give you an example.

One Direction. This band is super famous and popular just being full of (and i say this objectively) cute boys who sing about partying. I could do that. Hell, anyone could do that. The current business is all about the look, and even professionals has said it.



You see this guy? That's James Murphy. Average looking. Nothing special about him. Sipping a cup of joe looking swag as hell. He couldn't make it in current day. He makes amazing music and he sings what's on his mind however. I appreciate that about him and I listen to people like that because they really want Make Something Real. Music should be about doing what you love and putting it into words, not this commercialized bull**** singing about Pepsi. I can't stand it and I can't stand anyone who would treat it like that. Music has always been like that, but there are still a few that sing what they actually want to sing about, make what they actually want to make. And do what they actually want to do.

I'm not going to say that some people don't actually have talent though, and deserve to be popular. There are plenty of mainstream artists I like.

Some would consider the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to be accurate representations of the four temperaments, creating an easy to understand template for the four basic food groups of human personality. Plug yourself and three other Dgamers into this template. (Or, in other words, who's Leo, who's Raph, who's Donny, and who's Mikey?)
I'd like to consider myself Donatello. The brains of the operation but not exactly a leader. I sit back and make things work for everyone else, while still carrying my own weight. Purple is a pretty manly color too.

Ryker is certainly Raphael. Likes getting into fights and is a powerhouse. Has a sharp tongue yet surprisingly intelligent. Raphael was never portrayed as a bozo, he's just really independent and thinks he can take anything on. His ignorance has gotten him into tough situations though, much like Ryker.

I think players like Zen make a good Michelangelo. He's not the brains or the brawn, but he has his own way of getting around. Kind of a goof-off and the guy who parties all day all night. KevinM would make a good Michelangelo too.

Sworddancer. is Leonardo. Good leader, good person. Has good morals and a good understanding of people. Blue just fits him too.

What's a common "Michiganism" that you hate? For example, I hate hearing people tack on an "s" to the title of a location that doesn't warrant it (it's "Meijer," not "Meijer's!") Also, my mom pronounces words like "milk" and "pillow" as "melk" and "pellow," respectively. That drives me batty.
The stereotypes that come with certain districts. Everyone in Hastings/Middleville is a Hick. Kentwood/Rockford has all the rich white kids. Grand Rapids is like the slums. I think they're all understandable but we live in a world where everything needs a label. I lived in Kentwood and I certainly wasn't rich. I lived in a beaten down apartment in a terrible neighborhood that had the cops over almost every week. I agree with you on the annunciations too, my mom has to say everything southern even though we've been living in Michigan for my whole life. She came from North Carolina however so I guess it's just common for her. It's gotten worse the longer we've been in the country. I can say that some stereotypes hold true (Rockford, seriously) but some are just exaggerated.

Remember that time you googled 69ing when Kuz and I asked you if you know what it is?

Rockin walks up to a bar tender.

He says "Give me the strongest thing you got."

The bartender acknowledges and gives him a diet sprite.

Come on, you ape. Do you wanna live forever??!!?
I had to google that.

J said:
Talk us through your journey as a mafia player. From your first game to current standing and some important points of your mafia career.
I kind of summarized it in my earlier parts of the interview but I'll bite. There's a bit of a prelouge of this and that would be Epicmafia. That's where I learned 'mafia' and I learned a ton of terrible habits. There are some EM players who have shown that they can handle forum (you're looking at one) but most of them can't cope with the fact of how slow things go and the process behind them. I came in dissidia with that mindset and it ended badly. I was being called a jester because after realizing how terrible I did, I trolled the whole game. I'm really surprised I wasn't modkilled or something. I think getting into forum came with Bingo as I already explained before, but that wasn't where I got 'good.' The summary of this really meshes in with some of your other questions so I'm considering to hold back on it explaining it fully.

If you could forget one game, which game would it be and why?
Ugh. So many I wish I could forget. I'd probably say Ragnarok. I played so poorly considering my experience then and I really just had a terrible attitude towards the game. I feel bad for Sold and anyone who had to deal with that.

What, in your opinion, has been the best game you have ever read or been apart of?
I don't know. I don't think games that go super well for town are memorable for me, rather then ones that are close and a show fierce effort from both sides. Bingo comes to mind. Glyph won that flawlessly and every player in the game played to their best, even me. I was dead wrong on Aposl that game but I shrug it off and It doesn't bother me anymore.

Who has been your favorite host?
Nabe. Kat. Glyph.

They're all amazing hosts and I couldn't just choose one. I also really like vanz' as a host too.

Who's playstyle do you feel yours emulates the most? (if you had to pick a DGamer you relate to the most in terms of playstyle)
I feel I fall under the category of you and Circus. I don't want to spoil this either and I'll explain why in a later post. It's hard to describe but I think we all appreciate the same things in terms of what we want out of a game and how we approach it. I've made my decent amount of walls. I also feel I can act like marshy sometimes but it's a deadly combination with the amount of walls I can write.

What has been your saltiest moment?
Hahaha. Ha. Ha.
Mass Effect
. Let's just not talk about it, I already wrote a huge rant about it but I omited out afraid of the feelings I might have hurt. Dark times for me indeed. Also some huge :salt: to IndyRake screwing up my win in sing-along.

What is the game you were the most proud of? Doesn't have to have been your best game, but a game you liked a lot due to the actions you had.
I liked my play in Full Life Consequences and Skies Of Arcadia. I think that was when I started to get to level I am today and finally started to get recognized around here. It's been pretty smooth sailing then. :cool:

If you could change something about DGames, what would you change to make it better as a community?
Not much I would really change around here besides the inactivity issue I've been complaining about for a long time. I feel like this community is pretty tight and we all know each other well, though I also feel that it could die out once we all move on with our lives. That's what I fear, and something I don't want to happen. We're all youngsters with dreams and goals, and we're getting pretty close to fulfilling those goals. I don't know what I'm going to do when my life starts picking up. I suppose in a way, that the activity is understandable. It doesn't excuse it however and it's the bane of DGames right now.

What do you feel is lacking in the community?
We could be a lot bigger. I highlighted on it in my previous response. I don't feel there's much else I would change around here.

Has the community changed for the better or for the worse since you started playing here?
The only change I have seen is in players, really. I'd say for the best on this matter and I've also been noticing we haven't been dragging it out to deadline like we used to do.

What are you studying in school? What is your dream job?
Graphics Design. I came into it thinking 'i'm just gonna do this for credit' and ended up loving it. It's a systematic process but also reaps creativity. I love it and I think it's something I really want to do. I might show off some of the things I've made in my cluster if anyone cares to see them. My early work isn't as good as to where I am right now, and even then there's still drastic improvement. I would say that this is my dream job.

What do you feel is your biggest problem in mafia games? As town? As Mafia? How do you feel you can remedy these problems?
I'm so glad you asked this question. I feel as town, I have a hard time getting people to listen to me. Another reason I tried to improve myself is for that reason. I still struggle with it and it's why I waste my time writing all of those long walls and whatnot. I don't feel there's much else as I know how I play and I know what I want out of people. Like I said before, there isn't anything special I do as scum. I just emulate what I would do as town. There is nothing to it.

Which people are the easiest for you to read? The hardest?
Players who are willing to put out content and participate are players I can read very easily. I know that not all people, town included, are going to be like that so I have to pick up intentions. Ranmaru is a super easy read for me. He likes being town and he shows it. You're an easy read for me, I know when you're actually trying to scumhunt and when you're just bull****ting. Hardest reads would be players like Nabe or Ryker. Their playstyle is so enigmatic in a way but I think I've picked up on Ryker a bit more. Nabe is an excellent scum but his townplay is pretty strong too. That's where I have trouble reading him, because he knows the secret of being a good scum too.

Are you officially going to Apex this year?
Bolding this. I don't think I can make it. Money is tight and we can't even afford Christmas right now. My stepdad isn't working either. I'm trying my hardest to save up but I can't let my Mom struggle like this. I'm sorry guys. I'll try and make it next year.

Talk about what would happen if you were to meet certain DGamers. Pick 5 and how the conversation/first impressions would begin in your head.
I need to meet up with Washed eventually. I think it would be pretty easy. I'm not bad at conversating and I already know him well enough. We're relatable being hipsters anyways.

I also want to meet up with Circus. We could watch Disney movies and listen to Bon Iver together. I don't think it would be awkward at all. My first line would probably be a reference to something. I know he's a sucker for them.

marshy too. i'd probably give him a /brofist and then hang out and playing some mother****ing ssx together aw yeah

I think I could hang with Zen too. I just hope he doesn't go for something like 'konichiwa soup-tan' i dont know japanese man

I can't think of a fifth person. I like you all and it was hard for me to choose at least 4.

When you see a playerlist for a game, who's names do you like seeing in the cast which make you feel like there is going to be a fun game regardless of what goes down?
Ryker
J
Circus
Kuz
Gorf
Asdioh
WashedLaundry
marshy
Zen
Sworddancer.

Who has been your favorite person to hydra with thus far?
Probably Zen. I still need to get one going with you and Circus.

In your mafia career, which players do you feel have helped shaped your play? As in, which mafia players have you considered "models or mentors"?
Kuz, Gheb, Sworddancer, You, Circus, marshy.

Kuz was kind of a mentor to me in a way but also a Model. I don't know how to really describe it but I wanted to have the same authority Kuz could make in games. Gheb helped me shaped up into a better attitude about the game. I know it's odd considering he's the salt king, but Gheb knows what he's talking about most of the time. Sworddancer. helped me learn to put myself out there more and strive to better posts. I still think Sworddancer. is highly underrated as almost every post he makes comes off so damn clean. I've learned some tricks of AtE from you along with getting my point across. I think you've gotten a lot better yourself but it was learning process for me too. I think we match styles easily. Circus just has a certain way of doing things, and I learned how to question things a bit better but also balancing preservation. He usually keeps a cool head in games. marshy is so entertaining and gets that scum lynched all the time i seriously admire him, he's teached me to stop being a ***** about things /brofist

Imagine the Apocalypse has passed. As you emerge from your shelter, you find yourself looking at an uninhabited landscape, with everything perfectly still, and the only waving of trees for sound. What is the song that is playing at that moment?
There is no need for music at that moment. The nature can sing for themselves.

Ranmaru said:
What do you like about me
Your ability to be obv town along with your willingness to posts. I love anyone who is active.

What do you dislike
Your scumgame. Step it up, son!

What do you consider my strengths
I think you have a way of keeping your head cool under pressure and putting a ton of effort into games. You have a back that doesn't break as easily compared to other players.

My weaknesses? How do you think i should improve on them?
I think you need to work on making your posts meaningful. I think you post with reason and I think they're not bad, but they're just so shut down by other players. Make your voice more heard. I think you could go far if you got people to listen to you and you learned to command players. That doesn't mean become a dictator about it either, work with others.

Do you think i can understand you well? Why or why not?
Seems like a loaded question. I want your opinion of what you think of me. I think you get my intentions wrong sometimes but I think you're still left out in the cold about some things about me.

Why can you read me?
Refer to what I like about you and what I think your strengths are.

Do you think you are the best in reading me? Why or why not.
I wouldn't say. My read has been pretty damn consistent on you lately but I think that will change once you get out of your comfort zone. You're still playing at idealist levels and you need to start playing for yourself. I think that's something I wanted to add in one of your other previous questions. Make your posts meaningful to others and yourself. You seem like a robot sometimes.

You are making me soup.

What type is it?

What is your fave cereal? Least?
Chicken Noodle.

Honey Nut Cheerios.
I don't know...I love cereal...

Red Ryu said:
Your take on my mafia play?
Untapped potential. You've got the experience to be a good player but you're still limiting yourself. What do you think of yourself, in terms of your play?

What is a game you know went good because of your influence?
Newbie 23. Necromafia. ERB. (Even though we lost). I can't really describe it or go on an ego streak about it. It was just good play by me. I'm sure there are others I could name but I don't really care that much about it. I look at my play of games objectively and realizing what I need to improve on, or what I did good.

Best drink in the world?
Iced Tea. I don't really care for Pop.

Brewyu wants to drink and mafia, good or bad idea?
Hilarious, yet bad idea.

You face a dilema, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, you have to skip one.
Breakfast. I don't eat a big breakfast anyways. I can't go without Lunch or Dinner based on my schedule. I'd die.

Why do you make me kill you?
I dunno. Try asking everyone else who has killed me.

why'd you decide to mark me in utrick'd 3?
You were a good target and I didn't think you were going to stay alive.

But alright

Rate me as a mafia player. Go ahead, do it.
You're probably one of my favorite players on the site. I think you're a really good mafia player who has played enough games to get at the amount of rage posting .gifs that you have done before. I like your style most importantly and I think you can balance that however, you never get too mad.

Recommend me a new band that you think I haven't heard.
Hmmm. Ever heard of This band? (bonus song in case you like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxFbl6fMErg) I couldn't post the exact band name sadly. I like the music that you posted in your interview, especially Dispatch. Modest Mouse is great too. This is my favorite song by them. Oh yeah, big shout-out to getting me into Baths, Cerulean is fantastic.

What'd you think of the Battle Network series? I'd ask you about its successor but **** that noise.
I liked it. I haven't fully played it but I should eventually.

Also have you tried Megaman ZX?
I haven't. Is it any good?

Remember when we tried to hydra? Can we do that again but on a site that's not inactive/stupid/inexperienced/new?
Yeh. Let me know which game and I'll make it happen. Ryker wants to Hydra too.

Have you ever tried playing an instrument?
Yeah. I got a Guitar back at home and I had to quit my lessons because we didn't have enough money and my stepdad didn't really approve of it. I want to pick it up again and get into it. I might try and learn by myself. You're in a band, right? Perhaps you could help me.

Have you ever considered working on art as a way to pass the time? There's a billion things you could do.
Definitely. I'm not a fantastic drawer but I want to learn. I thought about making a deviantart for the art I have made at skills. You know where KCTC is? That's where I'm at currently. Working with adobe illustrator is a pain.

Find any good images lately?


What value do you hold highest?
Integrity and respect for yourself. I can't stand people who beat themselves up and then do absolutely nothing about it. Quit being sorry for yourself, it doesn't make anything better. I say this as a person who was like that before too, so if anyone gets offended, I have been through it.
