Hello NeverUnlucky, hello Calix. I see that you are both new to this forum and that you both signed up for the two games currently open for signups. If you are not newbie from forum mafia in general, disregard what I'm going to say.
A game a forum mafia takes quite a lot of daily time, ideally you should take at least 1h per day to play properly, and some people commit way more than that. Since you are both signed up for two games at the same time, I will warn you about it; if you are new to forum mafia and are doing something fulltime during the day, I would not recommend you to play two games at the same time. But if you're like a student and you have a lot of free time, it is possible.
Again, if you're not forum mafia newbs, sorry for this ^^ I just wanna make sure you do not underestimate the time a forum mafia game can take.

Ello there.
I wouldn't describe either of us as particularly experienced (NU is relatively new himself while I've been playing for almost a year) but we herald from the same site and neither of us lurk out games or anything like that. Both of us are students; I have a lot of free time for the next few weeks myself.
I understand that lurking has been an issue in the past so this post is just to say that this won't be the case with regards to myself.
If there's anything else that people want to ask/ remind us of then they're welcome to go ahead.

I think he was just warning you that playing in more than one game can often be far more challenging than it may seem at first, especially considering that 1hr a day Rels mentioned is often just reading the game. If you feel confident you know what you are getting into then by all means, do as you please.
Personally I would never sign up for more than one game at a time, it really doesn't seem worth it to do that to myself.

Hello Cal and NU, Welcome to the scene.
What are you currently in school for?
What would you say is your strongest part of your scum and town play style?
What do you struggle with?
Do you think you have what it takes to out-joke me?
I ensure you, that 57% of your answers will be considered.

Wait a second....their names sound familiar.
Why do your guys name sound familiar?
OH SHIT!
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT GAME AFTER MY CP DIED!

In short,
After day 1, I went to slay RLVG, and a lookout caught me doing so. I was then lynched the following day. That left you, the traitor, and an empty slot (Was replaced twice) as the last scum members.
Firebringer who was replacing our teammate was sent to kill Kovath; the lookout once again spotted him in action.
Seeing as you were inactive and that it was 9v2 (including you), scum decided to concede.
It was a bad game all around: The setup was bad, 5 of the 15 slots were empty, and scum played like Eggy. Don't bother reading what you've missed, not worth it.

I think I also speak on Calix's behalf when I say that we're of the people who commit more than an hour a day to FM. If you're worried about us lurking, fear not, we're active.
Non, y'a pas de soucis. C'est compréhensible que tu veuilles que ta partie se déroule sans anicroches, en bon hôte que tu es. Nous aussi détestons les "lurkers". Espérons qu'il n'y en ait pas trop cette fois. ^^
Also, is there a quicker way of multi-quoting posts than to do "Quote[#1]", copy the text, do "Quote[#2]", paste the text, and answer?

1 - Health Science & Computer Science. I despise both, too many nerds in my classes.
2 - Scum play: Shitty all around. Town play: I tend to read players accurately.
3 - Persuading others of my accurate reads, not trolling, and not becoming salty post-game, zzz.
4 - Out-joke? Maybe not. Out-GIF? 100%.

There's a workaround, but it requires proactivity on every player's part. When formulating posts one could anchor post# and each paragraph, and include the legend node (anchor names) next to it. Thenyou could url=#anchorname to state your intention to troll that post /part of post as root for your post / part of post.. then anchor your post# / paragraph .. and so on. It's really lol but I like ito (cow and chicken red guy reference)

1. I'm going to be taking English at university.
2. I'm fairly consistent as both alignments. Apparently my scum/ town play are also very similar. (personally I disagree but I am biased since I know my own alignment from the get-go so we'll see what others have to say on that point depending on what I roll) I'm persistent and can usually get my scum-reads lynched since I'm typically one of the more active, influential players in the thread...
3. ...however I'm terrible at reading players correctly. I'm also prone to getting tunnel-vision and becoming complacent with my town-reads/ not reading them properly once I've decided they were town.
4. Nine times out of ten, no.

Hello Calix. My name is Vivax, you can call me Vivax., we have many things in common, like the number of letters and the last letter. I inofficially run the newcomer assessment on the TL mafia subforum.
Before playing here, some players must go through the procedure of answering a few questions designed to establish their general ability to answer questions and assess their abilities.
Shapelog amusingly tried to mimic this procedure in an attempt to take a jib at me (and most likely at you). Rels does the security checks for newcomers.
Most of these questions are designed to perfection the game of mafia. I will consult with kitaman afterwards who is the head of the database department and is developing an automated behaviour processing system with the help of Palmar who is the assistant who codes words per post algorithms and similar minor things.
Let's start:
1. There are two guardians, one by each door. One guardian always tells the truth, and the other guardian always lies. What one question can you ask a guardian to find out which door leads to heaven?
2. If you would be an animal, what would you be?
3. If I posted this post in game, what would you think my alignment was?
4. What's the size of your ego expressed in football fields? You may choose to express it in bathtubs if you so wish.
5. Think about the colour red for 10 seconds. Then name a tool.

This sounds like some sort of personality test more than anything else. Wonder what I'll learn about myself today, eh?
1. "If I asked the other guardian which door leads to Heaven, what door would they point to?"
The truthful guardian would tell you that the lying guardian would point to the door that doesn't lead to Heaven, thus revealing the door that does.
The lying guardian would claim that the truthful guardian would point to the door that doesn't lead to Heaven. (this would be false as it requires the truthful guardian to lie)
In both cases, the guardians would reveal which door doesn't lead to Heaven and thus the other door can be picked.
2. A cat, because they're independent, commonplace, and can sneak around places without drawing a lot of attention to themselves.
3. While posting a generic post is something that a scum would do in order to look like they're contributing, it could also be something that town would do in order to glean information about a player. I'd lean towards 'town' (have put the lines in bold that would have given me that impression had this been posted in a mafia game)
4. Two bathtubs.
5. An axe.
