Pls analyze me


I find you very cold and inaccessible. You're one of the few "big players" I haven't really found a way to get on with (another notable is Shacky). I realize this is partly my own fault, especially since we did have some nominal level of conversation on skype once and I don't think I did very well with that. I've yet to observe someone invoke your sympathies or bring you to show weakness. You're difficult to analyze because you're so guarded. What really lies beneath all that armor.. I don't really know. I'm interested to learn, yes, but honestly I barely have so much as a taste of what you're really like to justify the pursuit of finding out. You're also quite mean sometimes which doesn't disqualify me from liking you, but makes me a bit more reluctant to want to get close to you.

hi i'm improving s-senpai. I need to find a mentor, but maybe i'll do it after I trophy(ha ha). rate me player/person, we haven't talked in a while


Not gonna rate you as a person (same as justrec).

As a player I think you're really good. You have a lot of energy for thinking about the game, its just that it's very scattered, and seems unconstrained. You've got a light that's burning very hot and very bright. Focus it into a beam and you'll find yourself in the spotlight.

You have excellent scum play already, because it's hard not to town-read you based on your energy and seemingly genuine thoughts.

Arcbell, should I be a mod?



No. You troll way too much, and push fringe opinions that would lead to lots of inconsistency (and therefore chaos) in the mod team. You're also hard to understand (if that's not a troll too).

arcbell judge me as a person


You take a casual attitude to almost everything, while not judging or shunning people who take a serious attitude. This is quite nice. You're a funny guy who takes every opportunity for sarcasm, without putting people down in the process. You're also pretty decent at mafia, and manage to play legitimately whilst simultaneously trolling your *** off. All this combined makes you a treat to play with (especially in 3 way lylos with bernin).

what is your fav epic mafia setup?


My favorite setups are also the setups I'm most tired of playing on, sadly.

Janitorial 2.0, VDLI, O2R

These are probably my favorite setups, but they're so tired that I don't enjoy playing on them as much anymore.

whats ur fav kind of sandwich


It REALLLLLY depends on what I feel like. A sandwich is one of those blank slate type meals which can be filled to suit the cravings of any given afternoon. Most of my favorite sandwiches were one-offs that I don't dare try to replicate (I'm a bad chef). I really like anything with sun-dried tomatoes. I'm a big fan of mushrooms, excessive amounts of cheese, and tangy and sweet dressings. I love any type of smoked meat. I generally prefer pork and beef to chicken and turkey, and while I love fish.. not in my sandwich (unless its shrimp or lobster). If there's no sun-dried tomatoes I need tomato slices for it to be a real sandwich. Lettuce is optional.

What do you think of me Arcbell, I recall you once did not like me


I pretty much dedicated an entire thread to this: https://epicmafia.com/topic/66142

But I'll give more...

Like I said in the thread I think you've changed a lot (for the better) so I'll only talk about how I see you now.

You're quite sensible, and most of the time I enjoy your presence on the forums and in games. You don't come off as arrogant, mean, or insipid. Having 0/3 of those traits and posting frequently on the forums is quite rare, and makes you a sparkly gem. I'll be real here we still don't agree on everything, and your posts occasionally bother me in some small inconsequential way, but you're overall a good, smart dude.

Arcbell, should I start a opinion or ama thread?


Probably ama, I doubt you'd get much else but opinion requests anyways though.

Foxie says

Am I just a figment of your imagination and you're asking yourself this question disguised as someone else in a subconscious attempt to remind yourself that you're just asleep and this is all a dream?


How I'd love to wake up to an entirely new and different world.. however if I'm waking up to it chances are part of my brain would be familiar with that world and this wouldn't be as fun as it sounds.

Dreams are far simpler than reality, so if this is a dream I can't imagine what wonders there are to behold in the real world.

Btw quick reminder that I'm going in order, and also going afk from time to time.

how do i play better


I don't think I've played enough games with you to say in your specific case, so I'm going to give some general advice off the top of my head.

To improve reads:

Make sure every read of yours can be traced to something mafia is very unlikely to do (townread) or something town is very unlikely to do (scumread). If you can't say "town is very unlikely to do ____" then ____ is not a good scumtell no matter how bad the play is.

To improve mafia play:

Focus less on acting like you act as town (unless you're playing with the same people a lot) and focus more on creating uncertainty and if possible, chaos. Don't be afraid to make people emotional when you're mafia. Also don't be afraid to do things that work to your win condition because they're "scummy" .. town does a lot of scummy things. Usually you're better off not bussing unless you have a reputation for always having good reads. Vote to make the town lose whenever you can get away with it. People don't confirm you as mafia just because you played to mafia win condition.

That's enough for you since this is all general stuff.

While I think edating is kind of weird, I think if two people edated and then actually met up and fell in love and moved in together and are happy together, you should just let them be happy
