Basically, no.
Ah, I had assumed as such, since I hadn't seen any such function - just wanted to be sure though. Thanks.

I managed to obtain the mythical username change because my old account was supposed to be DemonHybrid, but for some reason I made it with a lowercase H. Demonhybrid.
I felt proud and dumb.

I won't shove my love for her down your throat or anything like that, as long as you don't try to get into an argument with me about her.
oh yeah, and don't make it some sort of account gimmick where you mention Lady Gaga in every post or do something annoying. The only successful account gimmicks thus far are Rainbowdash and a user who refers to himself as "Troll" in the third person.

Umm, no. I don't understand how I come across as a gimmick. Just because I choose to express how much I love a certain celebrity doesn't mean I'm doing it for an attention seeking matter. Gaga has done more for me then just make perfect music, so she is very close to my heart. I do like to troll every once in a while though.
I'm Bree. I'm Matias's girlfriend and he convinced me to come on here to do the song contest and eventually some Mafia games. It's a pleasure to be here :3

Didn't say you were going to or that you are currently coming across as a gimmick...just saying don't try something like that Welcome otherwise
and don't troll and we'll like you a lot!

So, this is the place to introduce myself. Well, I'm Nabber, I've been playing mafia for a bit over a year on another forum and have hosted three. I wanted to try other game setups, however (over there most games give every player a power role and can be as large as 30 players), so I decided to come over here and try out some more. About my interests, I have an unhealthy obsession with Portal. So, hello, everyone!
Hey, I'm Z3r0, and I like video games and bacon. I joined this site to play Mafia, of course. I've had some experience with Mafia from another site before, and I've played a few games, so I'm not a complete newb. Just felt like making this to make everyone aware of my presence...

Hi I just signed up last night. I'm very active online and can be reached easily. I can't wait to start playing!
I did have a question: Where do I look to see what new games are starting? I'm not entirely sure how this works. I posted on the newbie queue and just waiting to hear back about it.
The other threads in the queue forum show upcoming games / games in need of a replacement, sorted by game type (except for large themes). Makes it pretty easy to find a game that fits what any player happens to be looking for.
You'll hear back from the newbie queue in a few days, EspeciallyTheLies. Welcome to MafiaScum, and sorry if we're a bit slow on the queues--it's how we play the game here. We've been known to run months-long games, so don't be surprised.
Also please don't replace into non-newbie games until you're sure you can adapt to our style of play. Newbie games help you adjust, people in most other games may be assholes if you show anything that looks like incompetence. And some people have a broad definition of incompetence, of course.

Awesome, thanks! I'm reading through some of the completed newbie games which has been very helpful. And very entertaining.
You might also take a gander at the Wiki, the tells can be a bit outdated, especially in non newbie games, but there is still a lot of good info there.
Name is Alex, 18 years old and live in Australia. Been playing mafia for a bit of fun to pass the time on a different forum on and off for a number of years now, so thought I'd give it a crack on here (registered years ago as you can see, never ended up playing a game.)
Stack shelves at a supermarket for a living, and study commerce at Uni.
Hobbies/interests include sport, tv/movies, computers, gaming, music, going out and socializing with friends.
That's about it. Looking forward to playing on here and getting to know some of you better! Cheers.
Welcome otherwise
