tbh, I would have started a thread were I new again. We're not that strict so I was cool with your thread

anyways, welcome. I'm Twistedspoon. I play for fun mostly but always to my wincon

anything cool about yourself you want to tell us? You're awesome already though because I've always wanted to meet a Swede =]

Nah, I dunno really. I'm a football referee for junior players, and I play chess. I live in the tiny city Hässleholm (in reality it's just a town, but it has city privileges) in the south of Sweden, wikilink here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A4ssleholm. Here's a fun game for every American, check the picture and spot the polar bear wandering on the street <_<.
Twistedspoon: I read through Newbie 1085 for reference, which you played in, so I'm proud to recognize you (however, you was awful in that game

)!
EDIT: Haha, yeah, "Get to Know a Scummer" sounds a bit like "Get to Know a Paedophile" or "Get to Know a Murderer"

FMSweden.se. A site dedicated to the game Football Manager, but with a pretty big mafia community (maybe around 40 players with some more playing sporadically). I moderate a game where Scholsey played, and he wanted to play a bit more seriously. A C9++, where he got lynched D1.

You should probably test it just for a couple of games. When my self confidence is low I use to play a couple of games on EM to boost my confidence.

Welcome!

You don't have to play a Newbie Game (but it's very much recommended). To /in to a game you open the queue forum and either type "/in" in the Newbie Queue if it's a Newbie Game, "/in" in the relevant game thread if it's a Large Normal and so.

tl;dr: Read this thread.

It's a while since you joined the site but I thought I should welcome you anyway as you haven't played in a Mafia game yet.

Welcome to Mafiascum, ironclad. This quaint little site might seem intimidating at first but I assure you that you'll get to grips with us soon enough. I recommend that you start out in the newbie queue even if you have prior experience considering that our style of play is quite different from most other sites as we feature a slower and more methodical approach to this game.

In post 892, ironclad wrote:ps are there many Brits here? Not that it matters, just curious.

No, none at all.

Quite a few, actually. You'll spot them soon enough.

Yeh, i'm off to the NQ. I read a little bit last night, but I thought the queue was for Mods, not players - i'll start over again.

I like a slower game, i've only played 5 or 6 games & I am rather average, so slow is cool. My theme tune seemed to be, "Ironclad, you are dead", as everyone piled on the new kid

You're not, actually. I got home to my native Sweden just a few days ago, I just haven't got around to changing my location yet. Devon was nice though, even if I didn't visit Barnstaple.

The queue system is a bit hard to understand at first - I certainly had some troubles with it too - but once you get used to it it's actually pretty logical.

Yeah, alright. If you don't mind 2-3 week deadlines for each day you'll do fine here, I guess we're also comparatively tolerant to newcomers on this site. Nice motto nonetheless.

I joined recently, but somehow managed to miss an introductory thread like this.

I hope I am not endangering myself by saying I have yet to ever play a game of mafia and found this site almost randomly. I read a game, skimmed the wiki, and it seems to me as something I would be interested in. I mostly play Total War which is a strategy game series, I also started playing Crusader Kings II. I also like some RPGs, recently mostly Skyrim, but tradionally FFT(Final Fantasy Tactics), FF12, and also Dissidia. I play Minecraft on Kingscraft and really only play MC there. I also have watched some anime and am watching the Game of Thrones series(As far as the books go, I am half-way though A Game of Thrones, so no spoiling : P). Nothing really else besides eating sushi and pasta.

I never have listed all my interests before, since usually join sites focused on one thing I like, and I never have met anyone who likes most of the things I like. After reading through some threads here, it seems pretty varied in its populace, so it felt right to say it all.

That said, I hope to meet some very intresting characters here.

Welcome! Nice to meet you.

I love the Total War series, gotta say that it went downhill after M2TW though (having said that, TWS2 was a step in the right direction). I love the games of Paradox and CK2 is no exception. RPGs and fantasy is not my thing and finally I watch some anime.

So 50/50. I guess I'll wait with the lynching then.
