Hello all, I am your lovely newbie. I am expected to make you bash your head on the keyboard, particularly in the context of the results of my terrible intuition which will lead to innocent deaths. Towards the pursuit of that goal, I will answer all your questions with dubious, imprecise answers making me look incredibly guilty although i'm only a just a terrified, lost newcomer. (copyright goodmorning)

So yeah, i'm a newbie :) I'm familiar with the mechanics of the game and i've played quite a few of irl ones, but never on a forum and i'm no expert of the live one anyways. My native language isn't english so please excuse me if i have some trouble expressing myself.

And now, as i understand, random voting is kind of the tradition around here, so

I agree, for what it's worth.

Ofc if you happened to draw scum I guess it sucks to be you and I'm coming for ya. Don't knock yourself down, your opinions are as important as everyone else's. Ofc if you happened to draw scum I guess it sucks to be you and I'm coming for ya.
If i was scum i'm pretty sure i would be unmasked after less than 48 hours. I'm a terrible liar, but you only have my word for it. Actually, it's also a very different timing and thought process than in a live one, so maybe i'm better at it. Or worse, we'll see. Anyway for now i don't have much to share with you guys ; i've skimmed through some of the other games and i'm impressed with how little people seem to work with when trying to figure out who's scum. I don't feel that in this domain i have a lot to share but i'll try to be as active as possible to not be a deadweight in the debates.

You agree with Accountant, or you agree with oncilla?
Accountant, sorry, should have made that clearer. I don't think something that obvious would help anyone clear his name.

@Stapler That's just a way to explain my future behaviour, which will probably be more passive than the average player. I'm trying to get a grip of this form of Mafia play and people would probably have wondered why i'm not participating as much as the other if i didn't justify it some way or another. If i was to defend myself mid-Day 1 with "sorry i'm new" i feel like it would have made me very suspicious. I can see how that would make a fitting stance for a mafia player trying to go under the radar, so i understand you being wary of me.

As for the NL conversation, i don't have much to add, although i'm not quite sure why it dragged that long.

@Jaereed I don't see why you guys keep bringing up that the game is supposedly newbie while only me and Stapler (which apparently lurked for a while and seems familiar enough with it) are confirmed ones. Just treat it like an average game.

What do you mean that they're repeatedly bringing it up?
Yeah maybe that's a bad way of saying it. I mean that i don't feel like having a completely new player and a new but familiarized player is enough to make the game "newbie". There's no point generalizing into "newbies should do that" and "new players can do insane things" when you're basically just talking about me and Stapler.

@Stapler I'm not gonna force myself if i don't have anything substantial to add. I do have in mind that i should read and express any doubts or thoughts that occurs to me, but right now i feel like i have to spectate a bit to get the hang of it and familiarize myself with the way people play this game ; i don't want to be completely silent on the other hand because i might as well not have joined the game in that case. I'm trying to find a balance right now.

Also the only susbstantial thing that happened is the NL discussion and as i've said, i don't have much to add in the debate.

We are still waiting for Kuroshira to join and oncilla said he knows how to play mafia but is unfamiliar with mafiascum, as far as newbies go this is one looks pretty balanced.

Why is it relevant how Jae treats the game wrt to there being more or less new players?
It's not, i'm just getting sidetracked.

I mean the part where I said "go back and see if you see anything you'd call weird."
Not really, at that point. The discussion about lynch or no lynch seems to me like a meta debate between two players eager to discuss game theory, with little to no consequence on the game itself. Reasoning behind most of the votes has been sound - even on me - (except the random votes obviously), although it seems people are holding to some of their deductions... like you in .

Did everyone else, before GM posted that she was 85% joking, get the same impression as accountant?
I did, and i was directly concerned by the remark. It seemed to me like pre-game banter.
