Quick note for everyone: Please do not edit your posts. If you need to correct something, or add something, just go ahead and double-post. While that may be poor form in other parts of the forum, it's the accepted practice in mafia games. Mostly because edited posts make it look like you're scum trying to hide something.

Blorgh.  Sorry about that--I had no intention to vote for anyone.  I thought the red text could be used to get the attention of the person you were questioning.

In that case: Unvote.

I'm curious.

Jim Groovester, why are you persisting Org with no evidence that he/she/it is scum?

Because he's not doing anything. If he's not doing anything, it's no big loss if he goes.

Unvote, then. I guess that explains the inactivity during the day.

back to the top of the list with Jim Groovester. What's your story?

Answer the question Jim! If that is your real name...

I'm trying to gather information and trying to make an informed decision about who to lynch on the first day.

That's my story, BloodBeard. What's yours?

Hey, Web, Alexhans, Josh, do you like my idea of us making day-by-day statements to release at the end of the game?
Yeah, that's a good idea. But, like Alex said, there should be two ICs in a small game. Eh?

At the time the above quoted post was made, Meph had clearly indicated that he was closing signups and that the game would begin after the weekend.

The fact that you are given a special status as a coach opens the potential for abuse of that status, and the post in question opens the possibility that you are aware of and intend to exploit that fact.

So, webadict, would you care to explain yourself? Why were you so eager to get in, that you would attempt to persuade the GM even after he has ruled?
Simply put, I feel that you all needed someone with some experience in mafias to show you how to play, instead of starting from scratch. Sometimes, it'll be easier and I can answer certain questions, or I can show you why an analysis is or is not correct.

I promise I'm actually here and not dead.  I'm just a heavy-duty lurker.

Anyway, I do not actually know how this first-day business actually works.  It appears that we're asking each other random questions... ?  Is there any particular process one uses to determine proper vs. improper questions?

Additionally, I'm confused about why someone would ask my what my story is, given that in the game there is no story to give.  Would the answer not always be some permutation of "I am just a simple townsperson, trying not to get killed by the Mafia"?

Honestly, I'm quite confused.  Thanks for the help, and sorry for the wandering all over the place.
Well, we normally start with the Random Voting Phase, where you randomly vote someone, post your suspicions, etc. You should not lurk, as that is not helpful as town, and very suspicious as scum. No matter which team you are, you should never lurk.

Blue.
Good man. Blue is a very calm and secure color.

I'm curious.

Jim Groovester, why are you persisting Org with no evidence that he/she/it is scum?

Because he's not doing anything. If he's not doing anything, it's no big loss if he goes.

Well, you don't need to yell. Just answer the questions when you can...

Blorgh.  Sorry about that--I had no intention to vote for anyone.  I thought the red text could be used to get the attention of the person you were questioning.

In that case: Unvote.
I'm going to have to vote you, Vector. You seem to not be voting someone right now. Why is that? Do you find no one suspicious? Or do you think nobody else IS suspicious because you are, in fact, scum?

It was a couple of months ago. But, maybe you should start helping out and stop actively lurking. You proceed to ask lots of questions without participating in the game. Why is that?
