Zrk2, have you played mafia here before? What have you learned from your past games?
I have not.
Can we assume you are familiar with the rules, voting/unvoting, no editing, and so forth? Have you read Dakarian's Guide to Scumhunting?


Quote from: zrk2
Tell me, to what end would someone kill Santa? Why would they possibly want to take on all that responsibility? It sounds like a horrible waste of time.
I don't think whoever killed Santa wanted to take on his responsibilities. More like denying presents to good children because he's mean and evil, not removing competition to corner the market, I'd say.

Nice so far.
Dude, you're here to play, not to provide commentary. Get involved, ask questions, place votes, don't just tell us how nice or naughty we're being. Tell me: if you had killed Santa, what would your motivation be?

Right, sorry.  :-[

Inteuniso, why haven't you said anything yet?

Oh, and this seems very different from a typical Mafia game. Are we supposed to answer questions in-role/character? Are they there just to provide game mechanics? Slightly lost here, sorry.

I'd point out that you haven't actually said anything yet either, but it's OK. The point is to get the conversation flowing.

Yes, it's a bit different from usual, due to the theme and roles, but it's the same in principle: get the scum (or if you're scum, get the town). It's just a bit more convoluted, but that makes it more fun. The roles are there primarily to provide game mechanics, thematic flavour, and balance; you don't have to talk in character or anything like that. You can if you wish, sure, although in general you should be careful about revealing too much about yourself unless warranted by circumstances.


I'll ask you the same as Zrk2: Can we assume you are familiar with the rules, voting/unvoting, no editing, and so forth? Have you read Dakarian's Guide to Scumhunting?

Arrite, thanks.

I'm... Moderately familiar. Yeah, let's go with that.

And I've read the guide, yes.

Lord:  So why aren't you asking questions?

Jokerman:  Having fun lurking through RVS?

Org:  Who here would be the best scum partner for you?

I got one!

If everyone else is quiet and lurky, would you unlurk to get things going?

It shows he is being ingratiating and he seems too happy-go-lucky to be legit for me.

Please don't use the glow effect. I might miss it when you're making votes, and since the glow doesn't work on all browsers, some players might not see it. If you want to grab attention without actually voting, use blue or bold. If you want to vote, just put the name in red.

I'll allow the glow-vote this time, but in the future I'm going to ignore glowing text.

Day 1 ends on Friday, 1:00 AM EST.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

In any Mafia game.

Ever.
