Describe the Playstyle Above You

[Herodotus]

Mastin is a compulsive commenter.

Evidence of this is the fact that he posted five times on a single page in the Describe the Playstyle Above You thread. On the second half of said page.

[ortolan]

Ort hates Vi

Not true at all

[Kmd4390]

Ort is basically the opposite of me. He seeks logic to sway his opinions. What I like though, is that he still does some experimental things. Also very difficult to read.

[ZazieR]

Kevin uses his gut to find the scummy players and will then make a case in order to persuade others to vote with him. Sometimes, this case uses logic, but not always. He''ll post whatever he can find and think off to get this guy lynched.
Another thing is that he doesn''t read some of his games he replace in. And instead looks at VC''s to see who could be scum.

[Lord Gurgi]

ZazieR and Mastin need to stop spamming this thread for attention. There are GD threads for that.

[ZazieR]

So that''s why you hang around GD. Teach me how to get attention there as it seems you know how to ^.^
May I now

steal the attention here

give comments on what I think of the playstyles from players I know?

[Lord Gurgi]

Clearly.

[scooby]

gurgi is a bitch

[Xylthixlm]

gurgi is a bitch

No.

[ortolan]

Xyl is very logical and good at using both behavioural tells and setup dissection to find scum. I found him quite transparent in the game I played where he was an SK, but that was probably due to the limitations of the role within the game dynamic.

Kmd usually comes across as town, even when scum I think (although I can't recall any of his scum games off the top of my head). Uses meta effectively to determine alignment

ZazieR always comes across as town, I believe is very hard to get lynched. Likes to post sequences of ~10 posts at a time, all with different points as they occur to her.

[Korts]

Xyl is roflcopter v0.5. His posting is confrontational, to the point and relevant, but I get the feeling his gut still needs some fine tuning.

ortolan is an analytical player, but gets lost in details.

So very true.

I have no clue how Korts plays.

[alexhans]

reckless, reckless, reckless... (from just 2 games with him)

[jammer]

From what I've seen, a huge wall-O-text poster.

[VP Baltar]

Jammer is a pretty thorough thinker, but gets a little tangled up in minor details. I've only played with him in two ongoings where he isn't dead, so I can't say if he's good as town or scum yet.

[Mastin]

VP Baltar always has people thinking he's pro-town when he's scum, and half of the time, has people thinking he's scum when he's pro-town. (The other half being when they think he's pro-town and he is, of course.)

[ekiM]

Mastin communicates poorly in Mafia games on this board because he has a compulsion to over-commentate and no effective mental filter for determining what is relevant and important. This severely damages the discourse in every game he is in. He has been told this by many different people in many different ways, but prefers not to change. Indeed, he wears his bad habit with pride; he considers it a badge of honor.

He is also overly fond of ineffective and illogical 'gambit' plays such as self-voting and claiming scum, and uses dubious personal scumtells. He doesn't seem particularly bothered by whether these strategies are at all effective, being more concerned with getting attention by living up to the persona he has constructed here.

I have no idea how his fundamental Mafia skills are because they are overshadowed by the more idiosyncratic components of his playstyle.

[ekiM]

Also he insists on playing in a ridiculous number of games despite being unable to keep up with all of them. I think that's just disrespectful to the other players.

[Mastin]

I'm caught up in all but two, ekiM. <_<

ekiM is always fairly analytical. Shows very good logic fairly often, and is a great player, regardless of alignment. I've always seen him as pro-town, even when he's pro-scum, due to his overall reactions being great.

[Locke Lamora]

Mastin says far too much, joins too many games and seems to be quite pleased that he gets lynched or nightkilled on the first day. His style is confident and attention-grabbing but I've yet to see any of his scum-hunting techniques work and I ended up thoroughly mystified by his lengthy posts attacking NabakovNabakov in the one game we were town together; I believe this was largely due to the aforementioned excessive amount of games.

[Goatrevolt]

I think Locke was fairly solid in the one game we played together. It's hard to gauge off of such little info, though, but I'd wager he's at least a better-than-average player.

[crypto]

Goatrevolt is a durn snake.

I mean it. It's worth the thread resurrection.

*wanders off, blowing steam out nose, ears, and vacant eye sockets*

[bigmc109]

crypto is an incredibly analytical, long winded, pro-town powerhouse. He typically takes up 20% of the topic, and looks good doin it. But, he tends to close his eyes once he gets an idea in his head. Seeing him play scum would be cool.

[Korts]

bump

never played with.

[animorpherv1]

Played with Korts once. Great player, and seems to be town.
