Also, just like constant application of antibacterials breed superbacteria, constant killings of Khushrenada breeds SUPERKHUSH! HE'S TOO DANGEROUS! KILL HIM! KILL HIM NOW!

Maybe I'll just shut my big mouth.
Not too smart of me. After whining that I get killed to soon, I now get called SUPERKHUSH, which will really help my lastability. Oh well, I can only hope that one of these games soon, I'll be shown some pity and allowed to live until day 5 or 6, instead of crushing my spirit each game. And I know Stabby mentioned that I should play under a dupe account but I think people would figure out it is me pretty fast. Especially if the name Khushrenada is missing from the list. Besides, I'm not going to give in to these mafia fear tactics. I'm going to keep playing under my name and I will survive to the end one of these games. I don't know how. I'll just have to hope other people have become more threatening.
Which I think is actually happening. I've been quite impressed with how some of the people are playing this game. That's the side effect of killing off the strong players all the time. The new and weak players get better becuase they can't rely on the strong. So, yeah, I definitely feel that in a few rounds I might start getting the chance to live longer becuase other people may have stepped up more and be seen as greater threats becuase they've been lasting longer than me and thwarting the mafia plans more before I could because I wasn't around.
And would I leave a successor if I was mafia? Yes. I've done that before. It's my other mob mates. I give them all the practical advice I can before I'm killed as well as a take on what my strategy would be and gameplan. I sometimes give a rundown of certain players and what to watch from them. That way, even when I'm dead, they can still get an opinion from me about what I think the next step should be and can decide if they want to follow that.
And now some mafia lore for those of you who are interested in the past and good mafia gameplay or Khush's longwinded rambling:SUPERKHUSH. I like that. Not because it seems like a great title to hold but it merges two great mafia players together. S-U-P-E-R and myself. Super was the player I modeled myself after the most and studied the most. After trying to make sense of what these mafia thread were about when I first came here, I finally realized it was a game when I saw the mafia 5 sign-up thread. I watched that game unfold a bit. I had no idea about private messages at the time either so that was another whole aspect of the game I was missing. But, I really enjoyed SUPER'S play.
There was one day when he was getting voted for and it seemed like he might be finished but he turned it around and forced the vote into a tie. The first tie vote in a mafia game too if I recall correctly. And basically, it enabled him to live for another day. Unfortunately, I've never been able to see too much of SUPER'S work since then.
You see, I respected his play so much and saw how good he was, that in the first game I played, I recommended him to be whacked first by my mafia. Was it a good move? Well, the mafia won in the end. Though we almost didn't make it. There's another good player who doesn't always make high profile moves that I respect much more now. I didn't realize his good play at the time in Mafia 5 either because he lost. But, I see it now and respect quite a bit. Anyways, back to my regrets over SUPER.
The next game, SUPER was again killed early. It's quite sad. It was day two again that he died. In that game, a bandwagon was started quick on me. In an attempt to defuse it, I named Crimm as mafia and his role. But that didn't have the effect I wanted because instead of voting for Crimm people started voting for SUPER. And then it became a tie between me and SUPER at the end of the day. TVMan decided to change his vote to SUPER and once again he was out early. He also made a comment about it, saying how interesting it was that he was killed early twice in a row after his awesome performance in mafia 5. I felt sorry for SUPER becuase I did like him and I was pretty much responsible for his deaths both games. Plus, he is a good player and it seemed a shame that he wasn't getting the opportunity to show his skills.
But that changed in mafia 8. My anctics from the last mafia game and the start of that mafia game were too much and I was killed early on Day 2. In that game there were two mafias, each with 4 members. A lot of people bandwagoned on the bomber for the first vote and in fact two members of the opposing were killed. I was mafia and when I was killed, I was the first down for our mafia. However, day 3 saw the death of two others in the group. Now, there may have been one day where a townie was voted out after. I can't remember. But what does count is that the brillance of SUPER finally came into play again.
Realizing that SUPER had been in the game for quite awhile now and seemed to be joining late bandwagons, Couchmonkey started a bandwagon against SUPER that had 3 other votes including his. This could have been devestating becuase there was 7 people still playing and the majority were voting against SUPER. But Super showed that same form from mafia 5 and turned the voting around on Couchmonkey, including getting two people who voted with Couchmonkey to change their votes and vote him out. Unfortunately, SUPER did target the wrong person. Couchmonkey was a townie. SUPER tried to get people to vote out Blackfootsteps instead of him, realizing his mistake but it was too late. SUPER was killed and revealed to be a member of the opposing mafia. However, SUPER mafia did kill Blackfootsteps who was the last member of my mafia. This led to a final day of 3 people, two townies and SUPER's last mafia buddy. The townies voted correctly but it was nearly a victory. Still, why was that play significant?
Because of what it almost accomplished. If SUPER had hit Blackfootsteps instead of Couchmonkey, he might have been able to avoid the vote the next day and get the win for his mafia. At least it would have given his mafia supremacy a day earlier. Again, if he could have conviced people to vote out Blackfootsteps the next day instead of him, it would have led to a mafia win for him. Remember what I said earlier too, SUPER's mafia lost two members on the first day and was operating on half strength compared to the mafia I was in which was still 4 strong. The fact that he got his mafia as close to victory as he did shows the caliber of player that he is.
Sadly after that, SUPER hosted a game and then moved to Japan. He's finally recently started playing some games again which is awesome and even though he still gets targetted, at least he's lasting longer than when I started playing. That's why I don't mind getting killed on the second day the past few times. I feel it's deserved for my hand in the SUPER deaths.
So yes, to be called SUPERKHUSH and have my status entwined with who I still consider is the best player of mafia. Although, there is another who like I mentioned earlier I've really come to respect quite a bit and can rival SUPER some days, Super is still number one to me. And yes, I know you didn't intend for that comment to mean what I just described it as but I like it my way better.
