The G.O.A.T

Who's the greatest player of all time on this site?


Players who I consider slightly better than myself and remember being top-tier (in no particular order):
Jeep, Vi, Mastin, Glork, Regfan, Faraday, Thor665, Llamarble

People who I've heard great things about and probably would be on the above list but I did not have enough meaningful games with them: CES, Sotty7, Antrax, MeMe.

All the above I believe were ace as both town and scum.

Honourable mentions (in no particular order): AngryPidgeon, roflcopter, grapes, Nachomamma8, kanyeknowsbest, LoudmouthLee, Fate, Plotinus, petroleumjelly, petapan, Empire, mathcam, Talitha, Thesp

RC was really impressive as scum but as town was more of a hit-or-miss with reads.

Can you point to a single game where RC didn't do pretty well with reads?
I have never seen him miss shooting a scum when he is vigi.

There's also that there were people who had their time, then came back into the fold (of mediocrity).

There are some obvious names missing from this thread.

From the games I've read with RC, the problem with him is not only the reads, it's the ability to cooperate with other players. That's a crucial part of being a good town player.

Yeah, this. I'm flattered to be mentioned - this title didn't come from nowhere - but that was years ago with a completely different player base, a completely different site meta, and a largely different personal meta.

Being consistent across multiple games across multiple site metas is really, really hard to do - especially since in your later games people recognize you by reputation and start fantasizing about how cool it would be to shut you down Day 1, which of course hurts your ability to be good at Mafia. The best you can do is see who's on a hot streak right now, and celebrate it while it lasts.

Also, I dedicate this post to Sotty7, because if we're bringing up skilled old-guard people, we can't leave out the person whose scum game earned her the title "That Dann Good".

I recognize your avi from EM, though there's no guarantee you're the same person. There's also no way you'd believe who I was there, but if the regfan there is the same regfan here, then you're probably right about him. Haven't played enough games to be sure on anyone else.

Yea this is an extremely tough one to really get down to the nuts and bolts of. I feel like we've definitely had some s-rank players but a single goat is waaay harder.

Sorry, but Mastin is nowhere near a top mafia player.

I think roflcopter is one of the consistently best players I've played with.
