[Ruki]

[D-Extreme]

Why would we put a performance from a game you were town in in a list of the five worst scum performances ever?

[HailtotheYo]

It was THAT BAD of a play ?

[D-Extreme]

*points at Gogo's post*

see? exactly, I was just joking at that post.

That, or just cements the reason why I suck more.

[Pesci]

...my brain hurts.

[oldskool]

No, I'm admitting I suck

Give that man the ten thousand dollars

[Ace]

I object to the top 5 list. There's no mention of Ruki anywhere.

[D-Extreme]

Man, RW's game...best role got in recent memory.

[Sousa]

...wow and damn, D-Ex. Good show.

Do people prefer playing as Town or Mafia? I've got a massive preference for playing as Town, myself. I get more satisfaction out of spotting a scum fuck-up than I do from avoiding making one myself. The chances for making an amazing play are probably more with the scum, but you're just as likely to be successful by being as non-committal as possible and I can't be arsed with that.

Similarly, any favourite abilities? Like being a protector, investigator or vig? I've been a vigilante at least three times on this board and never played particularly well. It still rankles me that I was lynched by the town in Silent Hill Mafia in one of the silliest plays I've ever seen. Particularly because after I was revealed as town they still didn't lynch Zan :/ On the other hand, I love having an auto-lynch, even if I've twice been killed without getting a chance to use them. I've only been an investigator once on these boards and that was years ago in Ace's (I think) Buffy/Angel Mafia. Protector tends to be pretty boring. I usually end up picking someone and then protecting them to the end, as I did in Ah-nold Mafia and DCDM. Not particularly exciting, even though it can be a vital role.

I enjoy being mafia, except when in I am mafia IN ALL GAMES I PLAY, then it's kinda old. As for abilities? I like investigative, and of course, killing. I wouldn't mind being a cult leader again, or getting another crack at being an SK (Firesale Mafia was awesome...so close to winning).

Edit: Bored, so I checked how many posts I have in this thread....out of the three-some-odd-thousand, I have the most at 308 :/

I prefer town, because I'm utterly shit at being scum. I'd actually like to play well as scum but I don't think I've ever got anywhere near winning as scum. I get investigator ALL the time, I'd probably say half the time that I'm town I'm an investigator - and I'm shit at it because I can't ever find scum

I'd like to be a SK, just once.

I think I'd like being mafia more if there were more games with only one mafia group. I quite like to be as vocal and pro-town as possible when I'm scum, but you're likely to get night-killed by the other mafia or investigated by curious townies if you do that.

[Matt]

I have an awesome, awesome idea for a game after my Kingmaker game.

[Ruki]

Also, do people tend to look down on cherry-picking roles for games? I kinda fucked up Smash Bros that way, but I did do it a bit in Mario Mafia. Now don't get me wrong, I don't cherry-pick every role, just certain specific ones.

[Matt]

I don't care really, should be random though but then again if I was RW, I'd swap people if they actually got themselves.

I think it's one of those things that leads to trouble if you're known for doing it. I don't really like the idea of conversation focused around 'who would -A- give the Don role to?' or 'Wouldn't there be a good-reputation player in the mafia?' Conversation focused around the game thread rather than meta-gaming makes for a better game IMO.
