This thread is for players to be able to enjoy themselves without being interrupted by colored names.

Why can't we just go back to when times were easy and we could judge a player by the color of their name, not by the quality of their play?

The Bald Eagle, because America, and because there was a few that had a nest near my home.

Where'd you learn about mafia?

Rather, where'd you start to play mafia?

Ever since I've tried many more social games, board games and the like.

First forum mafia games I played on a site not even dedicated to mafia.

What board games do you play?
I recently (last year) got a game called Scythe, loads of fun.

I've never played a large portion of the games you've just mentioned, although I've played Ticket to Ride on multiple occasions before, with varying success.

I do want to try most of those games, it does help that I have the sort of personality that will push people I barely know to come try different board games with me just because I think I lack enough close friends to really risk anything by trying.

Scythe is massive. It's fascinating, exciting, and my favorite board game at the moment. I played it around 18 times in the first four weeks of getting it, although I had a relatively large player pool to draw from and weekends with little else to do. It's relatively complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it, the core is really quite simple, in my opinion.

I love Scythe, but rarely get to play it.

I have over time acquired every expansion. I haven't been able to play through the campaign yet as the group of people I can draw from has significantly decreased in size, but hopefully soon I will be able to play again.

I've played 7 Wonders, but nothing greater.

I beat the highest level of automa with, I think it was crimea. I only have the base game.

I have not played against automa yet.
