I think we should play on Kongregate whilst we wait! I'm Haylen on there too.
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.

Kongregate seems like it might crash this computer. But I'll try.
This time, I'll not care.

Hello, all!

<Insert /confirmage here>

And I haven't played on Kongregate in ages, but I do remember loving it. They were the ones that came out with the weird card game for a while, right?

Nooooooooo! As much as I would love to stay here a play with you all, I'm quite overcommitted on MS at the moment and 9 days is about the length of time I can cope for >.<

1. It's up to 42 played games now. I've modded 8 games (mostly newbies) and am currently modding 3 more (mostly newbies :P )
2. Serial Killer. That's why I have "Life of the Third Party" as the custom title over my avatar. I went undefeated for 3 games, then lost for the first time earlier this week. Didn't lose for a year and four months. Feels like a kick in the teeth really. SK, isn't a role you will often get because it's a lone person role - they're often in games but only one person can get it.
3. I did my work experience in Melbourne Museum in Australia, mostly working in the planetarium in Scienceworks. It was an awesome and fun two weeks that I'll never forget.
4. I love newbies. Seriously.
5. Probably Astronomer/Astro-Physicist, although I wouldn't turn down the job of Ruler of the World.

Anywhoooooo. Incoming long post!
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

Welcome to MafiaScum! :D And possibly your first game here. My name's Haylen, I will answer to any variation of that. I'm your friendly neighbourhood IC (Inexperienced Challenged player...political correctness and all that) and it's my job to show you the ropes and to make sure you understand what is going on. You can ask me any questions you have during the game, unless it is about your role, in which case you must send a PM with your question to KittyMo (the mod), neither of us bite so don't feel you can't approach us about things. I completely understand that your first game may be a daunting experience...hell, I remember my first game, ended up getting night killed on Night One, and most of you will be in the same boat regarding experience level but you're all here to learn. If you feel as though you haven't done well, don't be put out, just learn from it and improve. It is not cool to insult players for poor logic, anyone caught doing so will receive a post specially made for them in which I barate you...in a kind way. Don't take attacks on your logic personally, or lynches. They happen, that's what Mafia is all about.

Aswell as being a helper here, I am also a player in the game, even though this is a newbie game, I will not be toning down my play, I'll be treating it like a game from any of the other forums otherwise you wont be able to learn and grow as players. Just because I'm
the
an IC, it doesn't mean you can't attack my logic. I will NEVER lie in my answers when questions asked about game mechanics ect. That would completely defeat the purpose of my being an IC here. If I don't answer your questions quick enough, which is extremely unlikely, I believe the SE's are Silverbullet and Good and Honest which means they are semi-experienced players. In other words, they've played a couple of games and either don't feel they are ready to IC yet or don't have the qualifications.

Anyway, read the rules KittyMo has decided to use (warning: other mods may decide to use different variations of these rules,
but the fundamentals are all the same,so don't get confused). When this game is over, and you're all excited about joining games in other forums, ask yourselves if you truly feel ready for it...there's nothing worse than going into a mini normal game (or any other non road to rome game, for that matter) and realising halfway through it that you aren't ready.

And have fun!!!

(by the way, I will be taking notes all through the game, because I am stupidly organised and a perfectionist, so I will be able to tell you what was good, what went wrong and how to improve, when the game has ended.)

Back to player mode :)

Big warning: I like to multipost, meaning I will post more than once in a row. Usually because I have just remembered something I wanted to say in the post before but forgot. I will spare you my megaposts, no player should ever have to deal with them. Also, my grammar is generally terrible because I'm thinking of writing down what I want to say.

First thing's first.

How we vote and unvote: MittKo says in her rules that we have to bold votes and unvotes. This is how we do that:

Code: Select all

 [b] Vote: playername [/b] or [b] Unvote: playername [/b]



Another important part of the game is quoting, you will find that you want to quote another player and some point or another. We do that like this:

Code: Select all

 [quote="playername"] what they said [/quote]



A little bit more complicated is putting in a link to another post as it requires multiple steps, you might want to use this sometimes when refering to the whole of a post, rather than quoting the whole thing. Here you go:

1) In the post you want to link, click on the blue post number next to 'post' at the top of the post.
2) Once you have done this, copy and paste the url from your internet's address bar.
3) you will need to do this:

Code: Select all

 [url=pasted url from address bar] post number (you can use any word here, but I dont want to be confusing) [/url]



An example of that this. Here is a link to post 1 .

That was a link to MittyKo's post 1, it has all the rules in it, and as a code, looked like this:

Code: Select all

 [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2377075#p2377075] post 1 [/url]



Hope that last one wasn't too confusing, if it was just ask :D

Anyway, enjoy yourselves!

Okay, kids, it's game time.

[quote=drmyshotty]1) How many games have you played
2) What is your favorite role
3) What is the most fun thing you've ever done
4) One interesting thing about yourself
5) What is your dream job[/quote]

1)I've probably played a dozen or so games online, and more offline, but haven't done either since high school (about 2 years ago).
2) Fav role would probably be Vig cause you get the Mafia-esque joy of taking matters into your own hands and a town win condition. I'm also a fan of trippy or bastardy roles too though, hence why I love Theme games.
3)Probs won't remember the most fun thing ever, but the most fun thing lately would be a trip I took to visit some friends in Pennsylvania where I got to see a combination diner/dairy/petting zoo. Don't ask.
4) Duh, everything about me is interesting. Don't make me have to pick.
5) Staff writer at either a really big newspaper or a well-established/journalistically-focused magazine. Or writer of a multimillion dollar book series, I'm not picky.

Also
Vote: Haylen
for her minimegapost.

1) Not sure. They were all on this little chat room I found. Really quick. Boring. I didn't like it.
2) It'd be awesome if I were scum or third party. Cop/Doc would work, too. Something interesting. But I also think I'd hate all these things because the pressure is a lot smaller when you're less important and have nothing to hide.
3) Once, I played The Really Fun Game. Then I played The Stupidest Game in Existence. The second one was better than the first. Stupid is fun.
4) I like to philosophize.
5) I'd like to rule the world. Oh well.

I think these questions are a ploy to look useful.
vote drmyshottyizsik
Three of the questions are not likely to help the town win at all, and could waste time. They wasted mine ^^
This time, I'll not care.
