Otto... you were in the Monks and Mason's game a while ago, right? As I recall, you did little beyond lurk when you could have changed the game (not that I'm really complaining, sayin' as it allowed me and Blargity to win. :P). How much has your game changed since then, and what brings you into a beginner game as opposed to - for instance - Glyph's Cybrid game?

XD Herp-a-derp. Just noticed you are actually in that game, too.

Ah, well. The other question still stands.

Well. Let's say I'm trying to improve all the time. I'm not probably going to post WoT:s.

@Ottofar
I would have to say Elegy, he is a familiar face, and it seems to me like he would make a good mafia player.

I don't think it means much.  His reasons seem sincere, and choosing someone by familiarity is fairly neutral.  I don't care either way.

I'm supposed to vote for someone, eh?
Let it be Spade because there's equal probability of anyone (except myself) turning out to be scum, but his/her name is shorter, and easier for me to type.

You could at least ask me a question.

So, Spade. What was your opinion on the last Beginner's game, before it was cut short due to lack of activity? Have you learned anything from it? Do you intend to play this game any differently?
My opinion is that it could have been either side's win, so I'm sad it got cut short.
I think I'll be able to play the game better this time, with a little more experience.

ragnarok97071, have you played mafia before, or is this your first game? Do you have any experience with it?

Also, instead of using '@', could we use quotes? It makes things easier to read.

@Elegy:
The wizard duel version of the game. The game itself seemed fairly interesting and some of the players seemed to conduct heated arguments in said game.
Not to mention I played the werewolf version of the game some years ago, in real life.
Last but not least, it allows me much closer intereaction with the community, than some of the other boards.

@Spade:
I agree. This would make things easier. I'll start using them with the next post.

So, Murphy, which aspect do you appreaciate most in a game of mafia?

KaminaSquirtle What exactly is it about Elegy that makes him a good mafia player??

And Mindmaker do you understand how asking questions can benefit the town?

No, I've never played it, just trying to get a new game type available to me.
Murphy: Why did you join a game which you yourself said that you probably would not like?

I don't really know, he just seems like he would be good at being scum.  And the question concerned scumbuddies, so yeah.

Flintus10, what do you think is the best way to play town?

Well they are supposed to unmask the scum.
However I have not the slightest idea how someone could pull that off.
I guess the first lynchs are always pretty random, based on some vague speculations, derived from something a person said.

No, sorry, it's full.  I'm going to suggest that you sign up as the first replacement and/or you wait for BMXVIII, which will be open soon enough =)

Wrong,

The point of questions early on is for someone to slip up and offer a logical fallacy or persform a scummy action. At that point, the whole game shifts into who is acting more scummy and the random questions stop.

But the questions do serve a really important purpose.
