Everyone: How much mafia experience do you have?
A good few games now, both here and off-site. This will probably be my last newbie game before I start ICing.
I've read a few of the mafia games here and saw your name come up a few times, so I figured you might be as good a place to start as any. As for the survival chance, I'm worried that I'll make some noob mistake in questioning someone and that it'll get misinterpreted as a scum tell, getting me lynched.
Good answer. Word to the wise. Don't worry so much about keeping yourself alive. Getting mislynched -is- anti-town, if you are a townie. That said, if you're hunting scum and progressing the game state, you are not likely to get mislynched, even if you do make a mistake or two. Don't let fear of messing up interfere with your play and you'll likely avoid being mislynched.
As far as dying at night, consider it a compliment from the scum team; saying that you're dangerous enough for them to need you eliminated.
Scint: What thought process would you have if you were the JKer?
Hm.

Vote SuperblackcatWhat sort of alignment-indicative information were you hoping to glean from an answer to that question?
Everyone: How much mafia experience do you have?
Never played before myself, so we'll see how it goes.
Scintillant, you seem very concerned about being seen as scum very early on in the game. That's probably not suspicious by itself I guess, but it's the only thing worthy of note so far from my point of view.
The best way to get the game moving is to ask questions and try to get reactions out of other players. Stating observations is good, as it shows you are paying attention to other players, but getting out and hunting for scum is the most important task a townie can do. Don't be afraid to confront other players directly. Make your scumhunting direct and solid, so scum can't weasel out of your questions with non-answers.
