"Oh god, oh god, oh god, vampire bats!"

I cast my Beardining spell at the nearest vampire bat!

Also, if you're going to try deflection like that *points at bolded section* at least back it up with an actual vote. FoS just looks weak, if you don't trust me that much.

Btw, multiple town-claiming, I  speak from experience, normally is looked upon as scummy.

Rightfully so, I can definitely see how It could be.

I would much rather not cast my vote pre-maturely, even though I don't trust you; that doesn't mean I believe you to be scum. I'd rather be sure of my vote than cast it poorly.

So far, the two players on my watch list are Makeinu, and Superblackcat. Both seem equally suspicious in the way they seem to be incredibly pro-lynch.

Pro-lynch. SBC really did make a great case for why it's the best idea, but I'll also refer you back to this from the OP:

That is true enough, what SBC referred to was definitely concise about it. I stand by my opinion that it seems scummy to jump to conclusions and begin the lynch-mobile.

Indeed, just because I happen to not be active in the thread, doesn't mean I'm not watching the thread intently. People like to believe that just because If I'm inactive, I am scum; In truth though, I could very well be not scum. Someone who is scum is more likely to be active, trying to throw blame on someone in order to get them lynched. Eh Makeinu?

While it's true that scum tend to be fairly active (I'm more interested and invested in a game when I'm scum, for example), scum's goal is often not to get noticed. Sometimes this means lurking. Lurkers are also annoying to have around as lack of activity can kill a game or make a scum win easier. It also causes town to have less information about that player.

Anyway, if you had to vote this second, who would it be on?

While true, it would be much more likely (in my opinion) that scum would be really active. Lurking on the other hand seems counter-intuitive to the scums goal which would be to get other players lynched. Although this comes from a guy who's only real forum mafia game is this one... Well, lets just say that take it with a large helping of salt.

Also, to who I would vote on? Makeinu would be that person, he seems overly suspicious and seems to be very pro-lynch towards everyone. I just don't trust him.

Don't worry about strategies, just go in guns blazing if that's what it takes. If you make a mistake, you can learn from it. But you can't learn nearly as much from watching others as you can from trying things yourself. Get yourself out of your comfort zone. Remember, it's more fun to be active then passive (at least for me) and it's more fun for other people as well when you're active. I'd love to question you and see how you react, but you're not giving me anything to question. If you mess up, that's part of the game, just get out here and join our party.

I prefer not to mess up though. But you're right, that's why I have been putting a lot more effort into my posts. I'm definitely still not where I want to be in terms of being able to play forum Mafia well, but hey; I'm trying right?

See, now I have a little something to work with.
I'll ignore the parts about being inactive, as I've stated my view on it above.

[1] What do you mean, "could very well be not scum"? Are you scum or not?

I am not scum, I was simply referring to the fact that people seem to believe that if someone is inactive, they are scum. The reason why I was saying that was to give credit to the possibility that lurkers could in fact be scum, instead of outright denying that possibility.

[2] I'll agree that scum should do this, but sometimes they don't. That's why lurkers can be so dangerous.

I'd rather scum be active, I can see why lurkers could be dangerous, but on one hand; they might just be busy. I was lurking just because I wasn't really sure of how to initiate myself. Now however, you can see that I'm not lurking and creating informative posts. (Relatively. )

Well, it is the English paying for it, after all.

Nah, the Scottish have money streaming from their orifices. They have a massive oil industry.

That is an image I could greatly do without.

Sinless.... Be here.

I am here, attempting to figure out what to say is a pretty hard thing as I'm not fully aware of how to use strategies.

Sinlessmoon: lurker. But not scummy. You seem to have a valid excuse. Fear is a powerful thing.

What's better than playing Brutal Doom on custom levels? Using a free level generator to make completely random and completely complete levels complete with secrets, item placement, and tons of demons. I am impressed with the implied replay value I could get out of this nifty program.

It's like playing the game for the first time every time you load a new wad. I am enjoying myself thoroughly. Also dying a bunch. But also ripping and tearing a bunch. It balances out.

As a guy who was born a little too late for the whole Doom thing, would you say that I should go for this or the original Doom instead?

Can you spot the WTF?

Sinlessmoon, you're off my hook for now, but this lurking had better stop. Please, start bringing the 'A' game.

*points at OP*

Please be active. The greatest killer of beginner games is poor activity.

*caps the orange marker*

My work is finished.

...

Now to return to that votecount. >:I

I can't promise super long posts, but I definitely will try and make my posts informative and stuff.
