Newbie Introductions - Sup Fellow Home Slices

[Neruz]

I'm pretty sure there's a salve for that.

[Neruz]

With a name like T-Bone, every post you make is at steak.

*Snigger*

[Neruz]

Hello! I would hug you all but apparently, that's inappropriate. ^_^

[Neruz]

I am not, as a female, going to offer total strangers five feet of rope and ask them to make themselves at home. Whatever will they think the theme of the forum is!

And aw, hugs are good!

Don't worry, the ropes are for hanging people, not what you're thinking. As a mafia forum we go through a

lot

of rope.
Plus, five feet isn't really enough to do that anyway, not unless you get

quite

creative.

[Neruz]

The XylBot IRC games or the Scumchat games are probably the fastest, i don't know much about the scumchat games, but the XylBot games are typically very quick.

If you don't want to use IRC or AIM tho, marathon games are your best bet.

[Neruz]

Dunno about scumchat, but in #mafia there's usually enough people to play most of the time, although there are periods of downtime typically while it's night\early morning in the US of A.

As a heads up though; mafia with XylBot is a bit different from on the forums, the biggest differences being often unreliable roles (and crazy setups) and no RVS, as most XylBot games start in mylo or lylo.

[Neruz]

It's fairly uncommon to see games with more than 7 people, you don't get games with a free lynch (barring a scum death n0) until you have at least 8 and typically you're not 'safe' until 10 because XylBot loves it's third parties.

So my statement stands,

most

(not all) XylBot games are at mylo or lylo on the first day.

[Neruz]

Haylen made an error, 6:3 is mylo, 4:2 is mylo, she got the two mixed up
Alternately, 6 players, 2 of which are scum, is mylo.

All 'standard' Xylbot setups are night first (except in 3p) and it scales the number of scum to the number of players, you have 1 scum with up to 5 players, 2 scum with up to 11 and 3 scum appear at 12.

However

Xylbot loves it's third parties and will often throw in survivors, at 7p and up a mafia group and an SK is not uncommon, and once you get past 10p you'll often see multiple mafia groups, or three SK's or so on. Typically the only player numbers that don't have first day at lylo or mylo are 9p and anything above 12p. As most games are typically around 5 - 7 most games don't have free lynches unless something prevents the scum kill.

Of course, Xylbot has a lot of crazy roles and inane setups, so that does not always hold true.

[Neruz]

A Xylbot setup that totally happens from time to time:
1 Townie
1 Survivor
1 Mafia Goon

d(''d)

This is why you don't play 3p,

[Neruz]

You'll find that small annoying sections of the MS community are heavily polarized on Haylen, with a small but extremely vocal section decrying her as The Worst Thing That Has Ever Happened To Mafiascum™, a second small and somewhat less vocal group who Agree With The Other Guys But Think They Are Taking It Way Too Far And She's Alright Now and the majority group of Everyone Else Who Doesn't Really Give a Shit.

I probably missed a couple of splinter factions here and there to fill various shades of gray, and i'm pretty sure there's at least one person who thinks that Haylen is The Best Thing That Has Ever Happened To Mafiascum™, but i suggest you go for the Don't Give a Shit camp because it's definitely the best camp.

[Neruz]

That'd be a subfaction of Camp Don't Give A Shit, probably.

[Neruz]

Marmite is one of them Britland things innit?

[Neruz]

It sounds like Vegemite, except no-one really likes Vegemite. Some people pretend they do to trick foreigners into eating the stuff for poops and laughs, and i hear it makes decent axel grease if you don't mind the smell.

[Neruz]

There are certain parts around here where saying that could get you killed, or at least beaten up and lightly stabbed.

[Neruz]

Footscray, so pretty deep by Victoria standards.

[Neruz]

Oh i don't live in Footscray, i'm just there at the moment. I live in Canterbury, safely out of boganville. I have a few friends among the natives who have kept me safe from the worst of it.

[Neruz]

Apparently Footscray's alright while it's light out, i'd be home atm but i have it on good authority that it would be unwise to head out to the carpark until after 2am, so i'm chilling on the interwebs for another fifteen minutes or so before i try sneaking down the street.

[Neruz]

I've been fine before, but i have actually run into one of the gangs after dark in the past and that's an experience i'd rather not have again if at all possible.

[Neruz]

The city is a lot more policey now than it was when you were here, which has basically caused the gangs to move out of the CBD and into the surrounding areas, like Footscray. Time to go see if i can get to meh car without running into anyone i don't want to run into.

[Neruz]

April Fools jokes are

supposed

to be funny.

[Neruz]

OH MY GOD SOMEONE IS USING EMOTICONS HE MUST BE TWELVE.

[Neruz]

OH MY GOD SOMEONE IS USING EMOTICONS AND HE IS 21?

[Neruz]

do you ever have anything vaguely smart or funny to say or is it pretty much just spinning the roulette wheel every time you post and hoping for the best

Nothing so fancy, i have a big table of responses and i use random.org to work out what response it's going to be next.

[Neruz]

Yeah, it went over my head.

[Neruz]

Actually i think he's claiming FBI and accusing you of child porn

[Neruz]

Yeah, not all of them are preteen.

[Neruz]

*Murders RayFrost*

I don't know, you tell me.

[Neruz]

*looks at avatar*

you're French aren't you

His location clearly states he is from englnad.

[Neruz]

He clearly has some doubts; the mighty Location: text is never wrong.

[Neruz]

You'll come back. They always come back. :C

[Neruz]

Nothing. I had a momentary lapse in memory.

[Neruz]

Oh god now there's two of them.

One of them is probably skrew, i have no idea who the other one might be, possibly Haylen. Possibly they're both skrew.

[Neruz]

VOTE: SleepyKrew for blatant scumslippery.

[Neruz]

Nah, this isn't my style.

It so is.

[Neruz]

No i didn't skrew, and if it wasn't for the fact that i'll probably get in trouble because of whoever is doing this nonsense (youuuu) i'd actually consider it pretty hilarious.

[Neruz]

Except that anyone seeing this tomfoolery is immediately going to assume that i'm creating joke alts of myself ಠ_ಠ

[Neruz]

Yours and Haylens were the only names that came to mind. But Haylen was offline while Nuzer was posting, so she's not responsible for that account at the very least.

[Neruz]

Comrade Haylen.

[Neruz]

KSSSSHHHHHHHHH!

[Neruz]

Shh.

[Neruz]

._. Green Pixilated monsters are after me.

What? Where? I don't see any creepers.

[Neruz]

:C

[Neruz]

Thatssss ssssome good advissse, it would be a sssshame if ssssomething were to happen to itssss...

[Neruz]

Do not mock the creeperssss sssspeech problemssss.

[Neruz]

No, you'll have to ask Twistedspoon, he's the one in charge of it all I just get to sit back and enjoy.

:p

have I been promoted to newbie sheepdog now? :s

You are the newbie protectortron.

[Neruz]

But Pi is forever.
