I think that might be fine, but Argembarger asked first (Before the change), so I'll see if he wants that position first. Otherwise it's yours.

I changed my mind. I figure you've got more experience than Argembarger, and you'll be able to train them to not be terrible.

Jim Groovester's in.

That's 9 people. I'll start this in 20 minutes or so.

That works better for me anyway, I'll be able to give absolutely unfiltered advice. If I wasn't a player I'd feel like I'd have to hold myself back.

As a precaution, these are the role PMs for the roles. In general, I will make all role PMs in this style, as they are easy to read. If you have any questions about what these or your own role PM mean, PM me.

It was a warm summer day. A good day for a hike.

"Ooga ooga," your friend yelled at you. You agreed.

You and your 8 buddies were hiking through the forest, searching for a nice animal to kill and bring home to the wives. Yes, nothing quite like male bonding. Plus, the quarry had been shut down, since nobody found mining rocks to be economically viable, so you figured this would suit as a good part-time job.

"Ooga ooga?" asked the leader of the party. It was a good question that you figured needed answering.

"Ooga ooga!" shouted another, pointing to a nearby cave. You had nearly missed it, bumping into the person in front of you.

The nine of them entered the cave. One of your friends managed to conjure up a fire-stick. You traveled deep into the creature's lair. You gripped your pointy stick, palms sweating.

After several minutes of searching for the creature, you find the end of the tunnel. It seems the creature abandoned the cave a while ago. You turned to leave.

As you reach the entrance, you are deeply dismayed.

"OOGA OOGA!?!" you yelled.

The cave entrance had been covered by a giant rock. On the boulder, someone had scratched the words, 'Ooga ooga ooga.' But, why would anyone do that in the first place?

Uh, 4 hours of sleep probably won't kill me so let's get this started ?

SaintDraze* Oooga Ooga ? Or maybe not ? What  scummtells  you would want to see early in the game ? How would you handle full town bandwagon or double-vote (i mean two votes in two following posts) ? Any advice brought from previous BM ?

Painiac Should we pessimistically assume that we end in LYLO ? ( Two previous BM i played ended like that). Are you for or against lynching lurkers as quickly as possible ?

*RVS just in case somebody wants to attack me for it... Also i'm not responsible for my lunatic rabbling for next hour :P

I'm sleepy and it is late, so I'll not be on for some time after this:

lordnincompoop - How many other Mafia games have you played?
SaintDraze - Why did you vote me before the game even began? Are you looking to lynch a townie? Are you scum?
Akivara - Dragon or Wyvren
Japa - Minecraft or DF?
Tyberix - PC or Console?
Painiac - Have you learned from our Kingmaker experience?
Toaster - Cake or Pie?
Jim Groovester - Shoe or Sock?

Most of these are silly, I'm tired now, good night all, except scum, in which case, I hope you have a sleepless night of sadness and pain :D

Now that the game has started and I am now responsible for teaching seven of you how to play a game, I will say the following first.

I will be a completely impartial source of advice that I will freely give at every opportunity, whether I am asked for it or I decide to give it on my own. You can trust that everything I have to say will be given in good faith, even if it comes at a personal cost to me in this game. If you do not listen to what I have to say, for any reason, you will severely hamper your ability to learn how to play the game. So, to reiterate,

Listen to what I tell you.

If you don't, then what's the point of me being here?

For those of you who don't know what to do, games usually start with the Random Vote Stage. You should pick a target randomly, vote them, and ask them a question. The sole purpose of this is to get conversation going when there would otherwise be no reason to do that. I'll start.

Japa, you've never played a game of mafia before, right? How would you determine who to inspect at night?

Ideally you should ask game related questions in the RVS. Asking what kind of flavor of ice cream is a player's favorite does absolutely nothing to help you find scum, which is your primary goal.

And because it bears repeating: Your primary goal is to find scum. Everything you do should help you towards that goal.

If you're scum, you will obviously have a different goal: Avoid detection until the end of the game. The best way to do this is to look like you are trying to find scum.

Since many of you are going to have no idea what to do and will mangle scumhunting in just about every possible way, it does you no good to hold back. So be bold, and just do the best you can. I'll be here to tell you where you're going wrong.
