I think it would be an appropriate start to a newbie game to accidentally kill a town by hammering in RVS XD
ironstove, if this was a serious claim, it was very antitown. Don't clarify whether it was or not (best to give mafia as little information as possible), but please keep in mind for the future that in general, claiming when you don't have to or have no incentive to benefits mafia because they can get closer to figuring out who the PRs are. You had 3 votes but you were not at L-1 yet (and it is still RVS), so you were not in danger of getting lynched. I can go over this more if you have any questions!

I'm not sure how relevant it is, but I've started looking through some people's games history. Am I allowed to link these or no? I saw a discussion somewhere about referencing out of game stuff but I'm not sure where it is.

ONGOING
, however, please do not make any mention of it. It's site policy, but in a way also common sense
1. How long have you guys been playing mafia?
I've played in-person mafia a few times and prefer it to online mafia with the right group of people! However, in-person mafia requires a lot of people, which isn't always easy to organize (plus, you need to find the right people). That introduced to me to epicmafia a few years back, which is a chat based outlet for playing mafia. I was very active at that time, but don't play as much on there anymore. I like mafiascum a lot since the long days really make you think critically and carefully. I've been on site for 4+ years, but I took quite a few hiatuses in there, so I'm not actually as scary or experienced as I look! In fact, this is my first time ICing a game, and I hope I make a good impression of this site on all of you!
2. In a 7v2 setup like this, what do you feel is the best approach to finding the scum?
Once we advance out of RVS (usually happens when people start to accuse or put pressure on nitpicky things done in RVS), we should scumhunt as much naturally D1, D2. Natural scumhunting can include asking good questions, posting analyses, critically analyzing posts, watching where people place their votes, looking for insincere scumhunting/underlying motivations, etc. It is best to let the PRs do their jobs for most of the game and for them to stay hidden until they get some sort of a result. Every Newbie game has either a Cop, Jailkeeper, or a Tracker, who can receive very substantive results that help us in game during the night. We should ideally lynch every day we have an odd number of players in order to get the maximum amount of information possible, and we almost always want these lynches to happen in the second RL week (a day or two before the deadline is generally best). I can explain how the lynching procedure works more later as we crawl towards the end of Day 1.
3. Is your playstyle more engaged in posting or do you like to sit back and follow activity of others to get your reads? Do you have a different style when you play mafia or town or is it the same?
My playstyle varies a lot. Many times I am rather aggressive and weirdly proactive. Sometimes I am extremely lurky, mostly due to RL commitments. I tend to be aggressive/defensive as town and try to emulate that as scum, but it really depends on how I'm feeling. For example, this game I will be playing pretty differently from my normal games, since I am ICing and I am bound to certain criteria to set a good example for new players on this site
