Considering you're one of the few names I remember, yes.
How are you doing these days?

Hm. The game thread hasn't gotten off to a particularly quick start, so I'll be a little more verbose with my opening post.
If I skimmed the player list correctly, I have played with eight of you before, but I doubt many of you know or remember my meta at all, so I'll introduce myself and ask a few questions in the process.
Hi! I'm Eagle. I'm an outed alt, but I ask that if you know who I am not to say, because that will make the game more exciting for me. I've been playing forum mafia on and off for around six years now and I think I was a lot better two years ago than I am right now. Oh well, I'll get back into it.
Here's a few questions that I'll be disappointed if I'm the only one to answer.
1. How comfortable do you feel playing town/scum?
2. What are you good at, what aren't you good at?
3. What part of playing mafia is most natural to you?
4. What is one thing about the current meta that you think should be changed?
5. How well do you know the other people in this game, and how excited are you to play?
1. I love playing town. I'm very comfortable with it. I am very bad at rolling mafia. I don't think I've ever had a game where I wasn't caught particularly quickly.
2. One thing I've gotten significantly better at over the years (although I still make mistakes sometimes) is judging myself to see when I am tunneling town. I am very bad, however, at handling emotional appeals.
3. I love RVS. It's one of my favorite stages of the game because everything is so awkward and chaotic, and I thrive in it. My goal, however, is to get out of RVS as quickly as possible. Usually that includes swallowing a wagon on myself, which is one thing I've gotten good at. I very much expect to be one of the wagons going out of RVS, especially with how awkward my writing here is coming across, and I don't particularly mind. However, my most natural state is when I get the freedom out of RVS to really start pushing people and put a little basis behind my shove.
4. I read a couple of the more recent games before this one started, and I have noticed that sheeping is a thing that people actually do now (I don't remember this ever being acceptable in the past). In addition, players are accepted as bad town very easily, and players who are almost guaranteed to lose the game in lylo for their anti-town game all game are allowed to go there. I think being lax on anti-town behavior and encouraging group think methods of play like sheeping should be discouraged, as priority number two.
5. Like I've said before, I have played with eight people here, I think. I'm very excited to play. This feels like it could be the next YCBA IV. I've got so much nostalgia that I've got this account on mafBlack for old times' sake.

1. Love to town, much less so to scum. Everytime I've rolled scum I always got caught early
2. Not mafia. Mafia.
3. Town + early game when things are fresh and without tilt.
4. Idunno.
5. Recognise and played with about less than half of the playerlist, though am definitely excited to play
