How's your pull list working out so far?

If you were going to die, but had one more mafia game you could play and you could choose any theme you wanted, what would it be and why?

Do you evolve from Mankey?

why did you pick the name Thin Man as your alt. The game that you are in with Thin Man do you need to be replaced?

If you could play with 11 players, a mod, and a theme of your choice, who would be the players? The mod? What would be the theme?

If you had to duel to the death, what weapon would you choose for both of you to fight with in order to give yourself the advantage (and why?)

Alright. I haven't actually got my first 'pull' yet. On it at the present are Annihilation Conquest, Terror Inc., The Order, Thunderbolts, New Avengers and Booster Gold. I keep looking for something DC related to add on, but it always irritates me how connected DC's universe is, as I when I try to hop on a title I just feel like I'm missing something, so I'm mostly getting trades when I want to something from DC. Also, today I picked up a couple of trades of Ex Machina and it was pretty good, so I'll stick that on there too, though I know it comes out pretty rarely.

There was a game a while back where I named all three scum on day one, but it was abandoned due to mod disappearance, so it probly shouldn't count. Maybe that Pick Your Poison game a while back where I wasn't wrong all game. I'm also tempted to pick Mlakerville, just because we lynched five scum in a row and were a fantastic town, but that was the town, not just me.

what's your worst game as town so far?

Pretty much any game under twelve people I've ever played. I can't play that type of game for crap for some reason.

what's your best game as scum so far?

As scum, I'm more lucky than good. But that aside, I'd have to Chrono Trigger. I'm fully aware that I had been guessed as scum by a lot of people that game, but despite having barely any support from any scumbuddies, I was able to get into the final three and then talk Maz around into lynching the confirmed watcher.

what's your worst game as scum so far?

Probly my first. I was lynched day 1 for being scummy.

If you were going to die, but had one more mafia game you could play and you could choose any theme you wanted, what would it be and why?

A 2000 player epic star wars game. The fact it was my dying wish would be the only way I'd be able to guilt people into playing a game that will last many years, and it's obviously in my own best interest to have the game last as long as possible.

Do you evolve from Mankey?

I don't like to make a habit of it.

why did you pick the name Thin Man as your alt. The game that you are in with Thin Man do you need to be replaced?

Eh, he's just an obscure comic character with a name that doesn't sound that stupid. And if you're referring to Triumvate, then no, I don't think I do. If you're referring to FFFFF, I requested replacement in that quite a long time ago.

If you could play with 11 players, a mod, and a theme of your choice, who would be the players? The mod? What would be the theme?

Off the top of my head, the players would be Simenon, DYH, BabyJesus, IS, Jeep, Grakthis, Vesuvan, PJ, Glork, Seol and Puzzle. Mod would be Stoofer. Theme would be of his choice. I would do anything to be in that game.

If you had to duel to the death, what weapon would you choose for both of you to fight with in order to give yourself the advantage (and why?)

I'd say it depends more on how I can disadvantage the other guy than advantage myself.

Ah. Here's a good one:

What scumtells do you think are most reliable?

Which are least reliable?

Who on the site do you have good meta on so that you are pretty good at spotting when they are more likely to be scum? What are their scummy meta tells?

Lurking is one I find very true, though you need to factor in playstyle. Playstyle is also one I find massively reliable. People are generally quite different when they play town and scum, regarding how they vote, the intelligence of attacks they make and how much effort they put into the game in general. Scum will also try to take the moral high ground a lot, and put a lot of effort into making sure that nothing they are saying is anti-town, much more so that town will.

Which are least reliable?

Over defensiveness is useless. Going after people for not being confirmed as opposed to likely scum (see this a lot in theme games). Subconscious hinting. Scum tend to absolutely hate revealing themselves in anyway, and will act as if the setup does not include scum except in some hypothetical sense, scum tend to slip up like that very rarely.

Who on the site do you have good meta on so that you are pretty good at spotting when they are more likely to be scum? What are their scummy meta tells?

eh. Honestly, this site's too big for me to learn anyone that way, so I tend to do it when I need to, and a lot of the more general stuff I do remember tends to just be how good and active certain players are so if I do get in a game with them I know vaguely what flags I'm looking for. I play on another site where I tend to read and play with enough games with a smaller group of people that I tend to have more specific playstyle stuff on most of them. CPE is an exception, his alignment has been truly obvious to me in the last about twenty games we've played together and I'm not sure why

Why is Ron Paul an idiot?

I have absolutely no idea.

What's with you and primates?

I've always wanted a pet monkey. I only really picked the name cause it sonded good and spoon was taken.

cicero · Post Post #15 (ISO) » Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:55 am

Spoon? Are you a Tick fan?

BZZT! I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for here is "Because he's a politician", but thanks for playing.

I am, yeah, but that's not why. I just thought it sounded good as a nick. I don't put much thought into my online aliases, sorry

If you were to host a New Year's Eve party with/for exactly five scummers, which ones would you pick and why?
