Sorry everyone! My computer decided it was hungry and ate my post because my post just disappeared once I hit the button... Hopefully everything's sorted out now, but the thread seems to have exploded whilst I was gone. I'll answer questions right now and after I'm done assessing the situation, I'll be back with my ideas and such.
Mastahcheese:MyOwnWorstEnemy: Someone who is pretty much generally agreed to be Not Evil is attacking you. You are also Not Evil, but haven't convinced anyone else of this very well. What do you do?
First off, I'd defend myself. I'd try to put their suspicions to rest. Or I would go back and try to find some evidence that my attacker is scum. If neither one of these works and there's no way I'm surviving the night, I'll just put my effort on spelling out my suspicions and theories and hope the remaining Not Evil people can use it to win.

What are your initial thoughts toward the vote on you?
It's a pressure vote, or so I assume. He even said the only reason he voted me is because he recognized my name. I'm not terribly worried about it, honestly.
Whew... I think that's all. I shall be back later!
Tiruin: Hello!!
MyOwnWorstEnemy: Hi! You.
Let me define a scenario: It is Day one and a player has committed quite a lot of mistakes-communication and logical flaws: what will you basically do in regard to that person's action?
Well... I would probably assume it's a newbie mistake, assuming the player's a new player, and just let it slide unless it's really bothersome. If they aren't, I'd think they were scrambling for a lead and go back and look for scum tells to use to build a case against them.

I don't believe we've met. I want a three page essay on mafia theory and the meta-tells of every other player on my desk by the end of the day. Or, alternatively, just tell me a bit about yourself, your experience and your outlook on the game.
*takes out paper and starts scribbling*
I'm not sure what exactly you want to know about me. I only recently came to Bay 12 after a friend of mine kept pushing me to do so. As such, I know only a couple people and only a few people know me. I'm still a bit shy because I'm not sure of all the lingo and I'm not completely sure about the etiquette. My only hands-on experience is with the current BM, although I've had the same friend explaining the basics of mafia to me for a while now. I've also read a few finished games and have glanced around the wiki several times. I'm not sure about my outlook on this game. I'm so confused right now, but I hope to get a grip sometime soon.
RangerCado:MyOwnWorstEnemy: What is your favorite town, mafia, and third party role? Why? And how do you like to use their abilities if any?
Keep in mind, this is all coming from what I've read about mafia. My favorite town role is probably the doctor because I think they're pretty damn useful, especially if there's a strong (seemingly) town member in need of protecting, which is what I would do. My favorite mafia role would probably be the godfather because you're mafia, but untouchable by cops' investigations so that there would be no definite evidence I was scum unless I'm lynched. I would use this to help draw suspicion away from me because unless I give off scum tells, no one could know I was scum. I think the serial killer would be my favorite, just because it seems like it would be a fun and challenging role to play as. I'm not sure how exactly I'd use a SK's abilities, though.
4maskwolf:Everyone: What does everyone think of the 72 hour days. Will this make it easier or harder to find scum?
Well all of the days I've seen are 72 hours, so it won't be harder than usual unless we have a puzzle to be solving at the same time.
Whew... glad that's done. Now I'm off to read stuff!
