Newbie 1292: Class of '13 mafia. GAME OVER
Hey, its senior year, you’ve all sent your applications, and you guys done well enough to deserve a break. (Top 10 in the school even). So you told them you’d be doing some hi-tech project for a while, and now you have a week of quality frat time with each other in the woods. So at the first night, gossip reveals that every single one of you enrolled for Stanford. No problem. You all laugh it off and go to bed. The next day, only 9 of you get up. The 2nd place student has this little problem of a huge knife sticking out of his heart.
So there’s one of you that really wants to get to that school there. So much that they’re willing to kill to do it. Now without internet, cell phone coverage, or GPS, whatca top 10 minds gonna do?

Hello Newbies! I am your friendly neighborhood Inexperience Challenged player, or IC for short. My goal, regardless of alignment in this game, is to represent the many players on this site and hopefully teach you all a little something about the game of Mafia.
My actions in this game are governed by the article Being a good IC, which contains many good pointers for all players to follow. Courtesy towards other players, among other things, is something I really appreciate, respect, and hope to exemplify in my games.
The SE's and I may (quite often) use references to aspects of game theory and/or game abbreviations that you don't recognize or don't understand. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me about anything ever. My answers to random questions may or may not be correct, and my answers to all things Mafia are subject to discussion. I suggest you read this site's Wiki pages on Mafia Theory and Commonly Used Abbreviations. They will help you immensely in this and all your other games on-site. Also, if you're extremely new to the game, check out this Glossary of articles written on terms you should know.
The Newbie queue, and especially your first game, are the best place to learn about the game and how it is played on-site, so please don't waste this opportunity!
...and I shall leave you with a quote from the Wiki page on "Being a good IC."

Aloha!
I'm Tyrfi, but I also listen to any variation of Ty/Tyr/Tryfi/trfyi. This is my second ever game of mafia, but I have been reading mafia games for quite some time, I just never had the time to participate in one.
A question for everyone: How much experience do you have with mafia?
A question for the IC (or anyone else who has an opinion on it): Given that this is a newbie game, do you think we should be looking to draw any conclusions from the 'confirm codes' the mod insist on sending back to him? Because from what I've seen, it's quite unusual.
Also, why Tiger, Maestro?-

VOTE: Slapsticks for formatting evilness.
This is my second newbie game here, and I've played elsewhere online and in person before, the latter dating back around ten years or so.
tyrfi, why do you think this is useful information?
With regard to the confirm code, I've seen it done elsewhere on this site, either included in the posted rules to make sure people read them or via PM to make sure people actually read their role; there was a brief discussion post-game in my first newbie game about how deliberately not reading your role to avoid scum nerves was against site policy. But if the IC or SEs want to elaborate further, there may be nuances I don't know.-

p_a says it all! I also second his question as to why you think some of those questions will lead to useful information...because I don't think they will.
We know everyone's relative skill level with Mafia (at least, with MafiaScum) from the Newbie/SE/IC designation(s). What more do you need and why do you think you need it?
Tiger was a random vote.
VOTE: tyrfi
Pseudo-random vote based on early preference of RQS over RVS...ew.
By the way, a general warning: I become snarky and/or happily humorous when I'm in a particularly good mood or when the game is particularly fun. Hopefully you all will get to see that side of me.
By the way Slapsticks, the others are also right in that regard: if your vote isn't bolded or tagged it won't count.-

It could be useful to know if someone has experience offsite or is a total 100% beginner at this who will need to be explained terms and the general idea of the game. Another reason for asking is to see how people answer rather than what they answer. For example, I find it interesting Tiger is downplaying his own experience a little bit.
As for RQS/RVS, they both serve the same purpose, to get people talking, how and why it happens doesn't matter to me, I just go with whatever seems right at the time. I've found that 100% random votes do nothing to get conversation starting, as everyone just ignores them. Only one person had posted before me, and I couldn't find a reason to vote for him(although I did briefly consider voting for Maestro for being overly friendly), so I went with a random question.-

Hi! I've played Mafia before on other sites, so I'm not inexperienced. It is indeed my first game on mafiascum which from what I see is quite different from Irc mafia.
I'm going to VOTE: name user because what kind of username is that? Also, I may type from my iPhone sometimes like this - Sorry for any spelling mistakes.-

This is my second game, the first one wasn't newbie, and I think I did alright.
I'm kind of glad there's an IC, though, hey IC, is it alright if I don't RV?

Haha if everybody starts FoSing me for being "overly friendly" this is not going to be a fun game. I'm always like that gaiz, check my prior games. I hardly ever get upset over this site's games, it's just not in my nature.
@Name User: Yeeeaaah, not putting out an RV is definitely gonna look like you're playing it safe and trying not to draw attention to yourself...which conversely (and paradoxically) actually has the effect of drawing attention to you. I'd say don't RV if you don't want to, but look already at the flame you've received for it. Not wanting to RV does = scummy.
First possibly-legitimate wagon? Yup.
Out of RVS? Definitely.
Pinky FoSing Slapsticks for not considering the above facts as he continues to post what seem to be RV's.
@Slapsticks: why the vote on Navarre? Is there any reasoning behind it at all? I don't see much if there is...
VOTE: Name User
...for now to get some pressure going. Please explain why you felt the need to pretty much ask permission to do something scummy.
Also as of right now 2birds' vote is not being counted because it is not formatted correctly. Please double-check this people.
P-Edit @Navarre: Cool.-
