About Me

Original Avatar

My name is Victor, but I'm known as RedCoyote in the EpicMafia community. My username, like most, is often abbreviated. RC and Red are probably the most frequent, colloquial references. I'm a 22 year old male who lives in Austin, TX.

I'm a senior at the University of Texas currently working on a bachelor's degree in Government. My hobbies are gaming, reading, film, and matermingdling. I'm a very open person and always welcome any inquires you may have about me, EpicMafia, or anything else for that matter.

I work nights, alone, in some barren office park outside of town. I've had five different jobs over the course of my life so far, and this is shaping out the be the most rewarding. Essentially I monitor the activity and operations of multiple parking garages across the nation from a remote location in central Texas. In other words I hold people captive at my mercy until I decree that they've earned the right to leave my lair, or until they pay their parking fee, you know, whichever comes first.

∙ I'm almost always hungry; I always have room for dessert. I'm an unapologetic omnivore, and while I can understand the mentality behind vegetarianism, I don't understand veganism in the slightest. It's not just because I'm a coyote either.

∙ My username derives from the North American species in the dog family called a coyote. It's similar to a jackal or a large fox for those who live in the East. Essentially coyotes are a versatile, adaptable animal that flourish in spite of oppression from a force greater than their own. Society shuns them, with good reason, as they're known to prey on small domestic animals and trash. They're non-confrontational for the most part, but differ from animals like wolves in that they don't usually hunt in large packs. In any case, I see a lot of myself in the independent nature of a creature struggling, although usually succeeding, in adapting to an environment that it finds itself to have little control over. I'm much more fond of the color green, but I thought that sounded too weak. I also live in a red state, a popular U.S. political label of the day.

∙ "'We're really interested in how they outsmart us,' said John Shivik, who runs the nation's only large-scale coyote research center near Utah State University.

Coyotes are fast-learners. They share information with each other and can overcome fears quickly when they realize that something that looks or sounds dangerous actually isn't. They're also fiercely individualistic, so a technique that works on one coyote might not work on another."Controlling wily coyotes? Still no easy answers (AP, 7/12/2009)

∙ I was a Doctor in my first EpicMafia game and was victorious. Since then I have continued playing out of a real passion for the game and the community. I try to be as friendly as possible to all players, new or old, and so encourage anyone to ask me any question at all about the game itself. There's only so much you can learn by reading a wiki or viewing an image. Although statistical odds and logical steps can get you far, there's a certain threshold one will never cross without experience and observation, and those two traits can always be improved upon.

∙ I have no alternate accounts to my name.

∙ The reason why I don't do things like "shoutouts" or "best buddies" is because I don't want to leave anyone out. To give you an idea, I would give a shoutout to everyone on my friends list! Although, admittedly, I have the most fun playing with people new to the game. This way I can act all sweet and innocent, helping them with all their questions, so that when it's time to vote they feel guilty about lynching me. :)

∙ If you really want to make me happy, then comment and vote on my setups. I promise I will return the favor!

Favorite Setups

I like to play a variety of setups. I think the best setups always have at least one wild card, because village versus mafia can get boring after a while. I'm a sucker for Disguisers, Lightkeepers, Cultists, Leaders, and Warlocks, but I'm not too fond of Drivers, Fools, Silencers, or Cops. I don't care for follow the cop games for the most part, and I seek out those setups that make us reconsider how we play the game. Here are some setups that I really enjoy:

• SK v.s. Mafia
• Rainbow Mafia
• Grannies Rule v1.0
• FOR PE AND KYRA
• Kill Will: Vol II
• Beyond the Grave (remade)
• Feels Good Man
• Friends, Enemies, and a Voyeur
• Confused Masons
• Kill Will: Vol 4
• Fool's game
• No one loves us.
• Drunken Hooker
• Sex and Lies
• Independence
• lolnoobtraitormafialose
• Paranoid Pandemonium
• Guantanamo Bay
