I'd bet money the cause of the way we came out and XKCD came out differed because of the people.

Probably.  On the other hand, I feel like we also have a far more close-knit community here outside of games.  I definitely have closer relationships here than that board seemed to.

The other interesting thing is that it seems like people almost never respond to each other on that board, while over here we happily derail everything to discuss this or that aspect of whatever someone said.

I took a look and it seems that the style is rather different.  That's not necessarily bad, but I just want to make sure that you're not going to be getting in over your head.

Might I ask if you've read through any of the games here?

He did ask for the spot before me.

I'll check some of those games tomorrow.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's a big difference between a beginner and an IC wanting to play in a BM. Beginners should always be taken in a first-come-first-serve style, but with an IC you have to take into account the potential IC's experience, stressfulness in practice, healthy play style, etc. TKoE may have modded a game and played several in the past, but Toaster is modding one game an playing several As we speak. As far as experience goes, he's currently in the lead as far as I see it.

Really people. If it is that much of an issue then don't worry about it :/. I can't justify joining as a beginner though.

Or you can join the game anyway and show everybody that you're not a beginner.

Or wait for the next round of non-beginner's games to show your stuff.

Since I don't know anything about you I'd prefer to see you in action before I'm comfortable teaching a group of new players alongside you. I don't mean any disrespect, but I hope you understand where I'm coming from here.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

To be fair, a lot of people join beginner's games on their first time here, or if they simply haven't played for 5-ish months.  It's not just a marker of experience with the game in general, but also with the site in general.

There are games where one player completely creams the others, and we can live with that.

I think it may be that tiny insane voice in my head, but I think it's time for me to join this Mafia thing you all have going on down here.

I've really only played IRC Mafia before, and that was a long time ago anyway.

YAY! We're finally more than half way to full.

Also, player count is off. It should be 5/9.

I'm only accepting 7 actual players. The other two will be ICs.

Only one more to go.
