Not much, but I should probably answer this too:

1) What sort of activity can we expect from you this game?
I'll be pretty active. I'll check in every once in a while!

2) Have you played forum mafia before, and if so, where, and how has that informed your play?
Never played forum mafia before. A few days ago or so I was invited to play a few marathon games w/ a friend of mine. That went horribly wrong.

From that, I can tell that posting in the "goldilocks zone" as I would call it is very important.

3) Do you prefer hunting mafia or manipulating town, and why?
From the two marathon games I played - my only experience, hunting mafia seems easier than manipulating town. One game I was scum and I inadvertently threw everyone under a bus. The next I was townie and I was figuring out from a list who was scum, despite me lurking around and such.

What's the goldilocks zone? Lmao.

I'll just use the word often instead of every once in a while lol

Goldilocks, like the fairy tale? I'm just using the fairy tale in this sense where you don't post too much or post too little. I read up on some theory beforehand regarding activity

If I can recall correctly, I posted on average about 4-6 times per day on one marathon game.
For me at the moment, I wouldn't post something unless it provides insight or contributes somewhat to everyone is doing.
Even with this though I got called out for posting too little on the third day, so I guess that amount of posting is too little.
