Role PMs have gone out. You must confirm by replying to the PM with your role name. This is

not

optional.

The game will begin once all players have confirmed, or the deadline has elapsed.

8/9 have confirmed. It is now Day 1.

[DoctorPepper]

Hi guys! I am one of your three SE's! Feel free to ask me, Edosurist, Antagon, or our IC goodmorning questions about this game, we (especially the IC) are here to teach you so you'd have fun playing on this site.

And to start.
VOTE: Slyther
Your name creeps me out.

Oh yeah, some of you may come from sites which advocate no lynch Day 1. And frown on random voting. Well its different here, we start with a Random Voting Stage, we just vote for joke reasons, hopefully to get reactions which will help create discussion to start the game.

And yes, never advocate no lynch day 1, its never beneficial. In this set up, there are 2 scum and 7 town, which affords us a few mislynches which we can use to analyze the lynches, why they happen and who set them up for the kill. If you need more explanation to things, feel free to ask

Also have fun. And we hope you play more games on this site after this. And as much as possible. Dont flake and replace out.

[DoctorPepper]

@Mod, the thread still says Pre-Game

[goodmorning]

Hello all, I am your lovely IC. As Messiah mentioned (post 0) I am expected to help you learn to play the game, particularly in the context of this forum. Towards the pursuit of that goal, I will answer all your theory questions truthfully.

That's right,

I will not lie to you

about theory.

Now, you may be thinking "no fair, she's got more experience, clearly she will pwn newbs". That's only somewhat true. Some newbies have played many a game of Mafia elsewhere. Besides this, experience counts against me as well: you all are able to look up my past games and see how I've played in them. I can't because most of you don't have any. So it's a fairly even split.

Some helpful Wiki pages:
Quick Guide to Mafia
Quick Guide to Mafiascum
A Beginner's Guide to Being Awesome At Mafia

And some terms:
Glossary
Commonly Used Abbreviations

My personal advice to you, regardless of your alignment:
1. Try hard to look Town.
2. Content is key. If you active lurk you will be lynched.
3. Realize that there are people who will disagree with you. Realize that they may be right.
4. Keep in mind that this is a game. If it's going to stress you out too much, breathe. Maybe even replace out. There are other games that won't give you ulcers.
5. Everyone will get lynched at some point if they keep playing Mafia here. Don't only replace out because you're a sore dier.
6. Always be cordial. Nothing is gained from ad hominem.
7. Remember, kids: HAVE FUN

Vote: EEEEEEEEEE(dosurist)

Setup Information

• This game uses the Matrix6 semi-open setup. One of the following setups has been chosen at random:
  
  • 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 1-Shot Town Bulletproof, 1 Town Jailkeeper, 5 Vanilla Townies
    2 Mafia Goons, 1 Town Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies
    2 Mafia Goons, 1 Town Doctor, 1 Town Tracker, 5 Vanilla Townies

So we are not told which setup has been chosen for this game?

[Saki]

Oh, and hey everyone.

's my first game, hope I don't screw up too bad.

[goodmorning]

So we are not told which setup has been chosen for this game?

Correct. All most of the players know is that it is one of those 6. The PRs and Mafia will be able to narrow it down a bit though.

Speaking of PRs: If you are one, please don't go claiming randomly. That's not optimal play.

Oh, and hey everyone.

's my first game, hope I don't screw up too bad.

You'll be alright. First game ever? Or first game on the internet? Or just first game on this forum?

And no random vote? Any reason?

[Slyther]

VOTE: DrPepper

Because I don't like the beverage you're named after. Also, hello, goodmorning. Thanks for the formatting tips, didn't know about those.

[Slyther]

Also, what does EBWOTP mean? And should I bold votes or anything? I've seen in some games I've been reading that votes are highlighted in white?

[goodmorning]

EBWOTP: edit by way of triple post
Should you bold votes? It's a good habit to have, since most mods require it. The votes highlighted in white are from the vote tags, which are an equally good habit to get into (I personally prefer plain bold, but that's just me):

[Slyther]

Okay, thanks GM. Is it okay if I call you that?

[goodmorning]

By all means. I have no particular preference as long as it's evident it's me.

[Future]

Hey y'all. Sorry, was out all day yesterday.

VOTE: Saki - have some self-confidence!

[Slyther]

Hi Future. Cool avatar.

Some questions to get started, perhaps?

1. Have you ever played an offsite game before?
2. What are your first impressions of the site?
3. What's your first language?
4. Are you scum? *cough i'mageniusiknow cough*

[Slyther]

My answers:

1. Nope. At least, not that I remember, meaning that if I have, it's been at least a few years.
2. It looks cool. Nemanzin (My IRL friend and, for a short time, a member here) told me that it seemed to be a pretty friendly community but that he was too busy to delve further into it.
3. English.
4. Nope, sorry. You're going to have to find out for yourself if you don't believe me.

[Slyther]

Oh, and I won't be on for the next ~ 2 hours, I have to be somewhere. :/

[goodmorning]

WHOA WHOA HEY

Vote: Future

Coaching much?

Some questions to get started, perhaps?

An advance warning: some people hate RQS. My personal feelings towards it are within ambivalent range.

1. Have you ever played an offsite game before?

Yes, both on another site and in MeatWorld.

2. What are your first impressions of the site?

My first impressions of the site ranged from awed to terrified to really excited.

3. What's your first language?

English. It is also the only language I know more than a few words of.

4. Are you scum? *cough i'mageniusiknow cough*

I thought we already went over that in QT... ;n;


For the record, it's normal for some people to only be on once a day. I personally am on relatively frequently but never for very long.

[Future]

1. Not in real life.
2. Technically I've known about this site for a while; had a good friend show me some time ago. But so far it seems pretty nice.
3. English
4. Nope.

Goodmorning, what do you mean? I wasn't being very serious with that vote.

[goodmorning]

"Coaching" is the act of one scumpartner encouraging or explaining to the other(s). Why so eager to explain it away? Nervous?

[Antagon]

Hello all. I am one of your three SEs, which only means that we have at least some experience.

Hi Future. Cool avatar.

1. Have you ever played an offsite game before?
2. What are your first impressions of the site?
3. What's your first language?
4. Are you scum? *cough i'mageniusiknow cough*

Now, to answer the questions.
1. Yes
2. The main focus is on Day actions, not on Night.
3. English
4. If I said so, I wouldn't be much of a good scum.

VOTE: goodmorning Because I had a bad morning. Ergo, goodmorning is scum and is part of the conspiracy.

[Antagon]

EBWODP: As an SE, I am qualified to answer questions about game mechanics. Feel free to ask us if the IC can't answer you.

Right now, we're in RVS, which stands for "Random Voting Stage." We throw out random votes to determine information.

[Slyther]

I'm guessing "EBWODP" is Edit by Way of Double Post?
