[TheIrishPope]

need an SE replacement for Newbie 1371. newbie replacement so anyone can join. cool kids welcome & encouraged.

So is it an SE slot or a Newbie slot?

[TheIrishPope]

Guys, just a reminder: this is a queue, not a discussion thread. Rules are clearly stated, every question must be directed to singer by PM or in other threads. Let's not clutter the Newbie queue up. Thanks.

[TheIrishPope]

To replace, PM the mod

[TheIrishPope]

Ok sooooo apparently people are not sure on how replacing into a game works
If mods need a replacement, they will post it here, and YOU have to PM them
You cannot say here "I can replace in" or something; this is just to sign up to new games
To replace, PM the mod who needs it
k bai

[TheIrishPope]

You'll get a PM when the game is about to start with your role and the link for it

[TheIrishPope]

Replacing is way harder though

[TheIrishPope]

/ in as SE or IC, whichever is needed first

* note I haven't played a mafia game in a probably a few years, but I did complete like a dozen games or so when i played back then. and i'm on vacation now and feeling the mafia itch

IC is a voluntary position to teach new people, so you would enter as an SE with your record

[TheIrishPope]

Spoiler: Newbie 1394 ends in...

a

Town

win!

/in to mod

May I note that this was a perfect win; no one died!

[TheIrishPope]

/in as ... SE I guess - played a few games a looong time ago, probably around 5 years or so on here, so whatever I did know I have now forgotten; except that I enjoyed it!

Good to see you're back for more Mafia! Yep, people returning enter as SE.

[TheIrishPope]

Technically Cheery Dog had the 1337th post
You only have the 1338th
Soooo

[TheIrishPope]

You only replace into a game if you tell the moderator requesting a replacement. By /in-ing, you enter a fresh new game.

[TheIrishPope]

/in as newb or to replace

You only replace into a game if you tell the moderator which requests a replacement. By /in-ing, you enter a fresh new game.

[TheIrishPope]

I'd like to sign up for a second game, please.

Not until your first Newbie game is done

[TheIrishPope]

Or, rather, once you die in it

[TheIrishPope]

Still, players who are experienced with Mafia may not fit into the MS meta, and so it is advised that one or two games are played in the Newbie queue and then go into other queues, as to learn site specific terms and phrases and the like. For example, I went to the Open queue waaaay too early and got lynched D1 despite my experience in Mafia.

[TheIrishPope]

/in to play (newbie)

You have already entered the rotation list.

[TheIrishPope]

I'm confused at how lon this site takes to start a game... No offence but epicmafia is way faster...

The OP states everything you need to know.
EpicMafia is chat, and this is a forum.

[TheIrishPope]

Then everyone would be fishing for likes and this will become Facebook

[TheIrishPope]

Of course you can join! Newbie games have a requirement that you must post every 72 hours (though other games vary from moderator to moderator) to accommodate precisely for timezones and real life situations.

[TheIrishPope]

Yeah, this is the queue for Newbie games which follow a semi-open setup (where all roles are known to players but not exactly which roles are in play)
There are other queues for different types of games, but it's better to start in the Newbie queue and then branch off from there
In this queue, just type "/in", so you get placed in a new game
In other queues, there'll be multiple games in queue so you have to type "/in 245" or whatever depending on the game you want to enter
Hope this helps!

[TheIrishPope]

That's another thing: there is one Inexperience-Challenged (IC) player, three Semi-Experienced (SE) player(s), and five Newbie players in each game; it's all in the first post of this thread
Also, if that Newbie game is ongoing, better not talk about it or reference it in any way

[TheIrishPope]

Yeah, I was talking in general
TheIrishPope endorses reading rule sets before posting in a game

[TheIrishPope]

Your name should be added to the first post within 24-48 hours. The waiting time for a game to start is currently 2-3 days, on average.

[TheIrishPope]

Unfortunately, to qualify as an SE, you must play three games on-site, including one outside the Newbie queue

[TheIrishPope]

/in for newbie game.

Hi,

we

are new. ^^ Never played this game before but would like to try.

Damn those personality disorders

[TheIrishPope]

No, but seriously, clarify you are one person so you can be added as a true hydra
Regarding replacements, moderators that need one will post here, and you can PM them to replace in
Singer will put you in the list when she gets on

[TheIrishPope]

Mmmmkay yeah that's what we needed
The thing is, if a hydra enters the Newbie queue as a Newbie, they're taking a true Newbie's spot, hindering the learning process

[TheIrishPope]

Still it's serious business

[TheIrishPope]

Just wait for your role PM by your mod

[TheIrishPope]

This thread needs more SE

/in SE

You should in like five times as SE

/out of next
(Is that how I'm supposed to do that?)

Sorry, I've been browsing the other queues and signed up for a few others instead.

Yeah, you just write /out

[TheIrishPope]

I personally think that atrophied players should be allowed to enter as Newbies, though it would depend on how long they've been gone for because site meta changes and Newbie games present an occasion to get in touch with it.

[TheIrishPope]

Is there an ETA for when the next game will start?

The waiting time for a game to start is currently 2-3 days

hey, I'm new here, am I doing it right?

/in

Yep.

[TheIrishPope]

I thought there was a character limit with usernames

[TheIrishPope]

Then it should be changed to 20

[TheIrishPope]

Don't worry about being your best.
This is why we have Newbie games

[TheIrishPope]

Someone's drunk

[TheIrishPope]

Probs drunk

[TheIrishPope]

I don't know what's going on
Talah pls

[TheIrishPope]

/in SE x2

[TheIrishPope]

So serious
Such silence
We miss singer and we're glad Koon is ListMod pro tempore

[TheIrishPope]

People call me Irish, Pope, and in occasion, "The"
And stfu you're only a year older than me

[TheIrishPope]

People call me Irish, Pope, and in occasion, "The"
And stfu you're only a year older than me

I don't care what you're arguing about but please refrain yourself from using language such as "stfu".

U're not my real father

[TheIrishPope]

Vel-Rahn Koon has been re-engaged as the Newbie Game List Moderator. Congrats!

Congrats, but why?

[TheIrishPope]

And it's better that you, as a player, choose what game you're replacing into instead of going blind
I'd be much more keen on replacing into a 10 page game than a 40 page MyLo or something

[TheIrishPope]

Do you not agree that it is better to choose the game you're entering?

[TheIrishPope]

Patience is key!

[TheIrishPope]

Brand new players may only play in

one

Newbie Game.

It's pretty clear.

[TheIrishPope]

It says right there, in what you quoted, that "Brand new players may only play in one Newbie Game."

[TheIrishPope]

Wow, so many Newbies!

[TheIrishPope]

/In for next game

I got confused as I looked at the open queue first and on that one you had to say you were in for a specific game.

That's because there are different setups in the open queue, while every Newbie game follows the same semi-open format. That's why you need to specify in the open queue, but not here.

[TheIrishPope]

Wat happens if there are too many SE's, we have to wait for non-SE's?

What
There's not a thing as too many SEs because game rotation is infinite

[TheIrishPope]

Wait what. There's games on twitch? Since when?
Also yeah as said above post in whatever color you want, they're there for that, just don't conflict with the mod's color in game

[TheIrishPope]

In this context it's his scumday, every 14th of January it's gonna happen because he joined on that date
Your scumday is January 12th; the day you joined the site you had one and every January 12th you'll have one

[TheIrishPope]

Don't talk about ongoing games.
He's saying you need to play a game that is not a Newbie.

[TheIrishPope]

Thanks fine sir! But why cant I join a newbie game?

to encourage players to get out of their comfort zone and explore new game types the rule was implemented where you must play a non newbie game

[TheIrishPope]

TWO WEEKS for a DP? These games could last up to 2 months. I'm used to more like 3 days. If I'm going to be common player on this site, I'd like to get my experience in quickly.

No one's forcing you to play on this site.
