I can assure you I'm not scum. I've appropriately punished the parties responsible for the offending post, and you'll see nothing but gleaming green from this side of the table from here on out. Pinky Promise.

Moo you're going to have to stop referencing on-going games or I'm going to be forced to request a modkill. Fair warning.

Regarding this whole Mootrain, I'm not participating for now. Frankly Dr's vote on Moo was shitty anyway (just placed with no reasoning) so I can see a townMocsta getting shitty about it just as much as I can see a scumMocsta getting shitty about it. I want some actual content before I start to analyze peoples' intentions.

That said, from what content there IS in the thread I'm liking



the least. Maybe it's me, but the implication that FT thinks Moology is scum is pretty plain - this reads as an attempt to stir shit, and I don't fucking like it.

Also the CastingGolem, while cute, is doing nothing to add to the thread aside from commentary which is unnecessarily lengthening the thread. Not scummy, but I'd like you two to play the game instead of commentate it. KTHX

Don't like NewbieXXXI_ObsQT. He just points out random crap that "could be scummy" and waits for others to chime in on it.

Also DrParnassus, why are CastingGolems scum? Can you not think of any town reason for doing what they are doing?

- S-head.

My posts will be painfully obvious...no pun intended. Just count the number of elipses and if it's >4, it's VE. Plus I'll be signing my posts.

Anyway I'm town this game so you guys can all breathe just a little bit easier.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of Mafia Hydra
Lynch Mafia

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, lynching mafia would be it.
The long-term benefits of lynching mafia have been proven by towns,
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
Than my own countless mislynches. I will dispense this advice... now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of being newb, oh, never mind.
You will not understand the players and posters of your first game
Until they're jaded but trust me, in a couple years you'll look back
At games you played and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really played.
You are NOT as bad as you imagine.

Don't worry about the next game or worry knowing that worrying
Is as effective as trying to solve a scum team
By throwing darts.
The real troubles in mafia are apt to be things
That never crossed your newbie mind
That kind of blindsides you at 4 a.m. hours before a deadline.
Do one thing every day that amuses you.

Read

Don't be reckless with other player's words.
Don't put up with players who are reckless with yours.

Analyze

Don't waste you time on lurkers
Sometimes town's ahead, sometimes town's behind,
The game is long and in the end, it's only with the mafia.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults,
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old game PMs, throw away your old thread subscriptions

Write

The most interesting players I know
Didn't play mafia until 22 years old
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know do not.
Get plenty of rest, be kind to your eyes.
You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll carry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll teach newbies, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll leave after 40 games, maybe you'll gloat over mafia corpses on your 7th straight town victory.
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Or berate yourself either
Your lynches are half chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your hydra, use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it, or what other players think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Talk, even if you have noplace to do it in but your own PM inbox
Read the OP even if you don't intend to obey it.
Do not read newbie guides they will only make you self-conscious.

Get to know your idols, you never know when they'll quit for good,
Be nice to your game hosts, they're your best link to future games,
And the most likely to help you in the future.

Understand that mafia games come and go,
But a previous few, who should hold on (MAFIA LI - ALWAYS REMEMBER)

Work hard to find the gaps in the mafia's playstyle.
For as the better you get, the more you need the players
You knew when you started this game.
Live in the General Forum once but leave before it makes you too hard.
Live in the Blogs Forum once but leave before it makes you too soft.

Enjoy

Accept certain inalienable players
Mafiastars will rise, game hosts will philander, you too will get good
And when you do, you'll fantasize about when you were new
Mafiastars were nobodies, game hosts were stoic, and newbies respected veterans.

Respect the veterans

Do not expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a Skype group, maybe you'll have an amazing Hydra partner.
But you never know when your time in this game might run out.

Don't mess too much with your meta
Or by the time you hit Day 3 you're going to look like you're playing Day 8

Be careful whose advice you take but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing for roles from the game thread, pointing them out, getting them night killed,
And making a bigger deal about it than it is.

But trust me on the mafia.
-OO

People that make me laugh arent scum.

##Unvote

Also Again Iamp is being USELESS. and non spammy. I want him to die.

##Vote NewbieXXXI_ObsQT (Hapahauli + iamperfection)

I think named VTs should CLAIM.

Promato, you do have any reads about the Shitfest between me and Mocsta?

Some really annoying arguments that don't look very important. Usually townies argue like this.

iamp's question at the start of the game was bad. TLCastingGolem's summarising is far worse.

##Vote: TLCastingGolems

But i agree with you on the casters they seem to not want to partake on the discussion at all and add nothing but long posts that say noting in order to look like they are contributing,

Oats/Thrawn, whoever threw down the vote on Golems

My other head asked you a question at the top of this page:



Otherwise, VE, you seem to be making sense. Is this the game we we're dreaming about in the Hero mafia scum QT where we both roll town? In that post you were asking if one hydra head was asking for an opinion from the other head, he wasnt. He was asking for your opinion on his case on mocsta (OE is you.)

It was bad, you're attacking a policy vote which was my way of telling people to shape up.

TLCastingGolems decided not to heed this warning, so they can die.

This isn't a fucking roleplaying game. If you're roleplaying then you're using it as an excuse to not find mafia, so you should be lynched forthwith.
