Toaster; Saw in my first post that I have experience in mafia and asked for more information, probably to see how big of a threat I possibly could be. Also asked if I had read any games on this board, probably so that he could know if I had the meta-advantage. After answering his questions, gets a bit annoyed for not getting the answers he wanted. Also spouts some nonsense.

I don't need to ask questions or probe anyone to gather information. I can find scum just by getting enough information.

To answer the original questions in more detail;

Yes, I have indeed played mafia numerous times before. My experience is mostly limited to one format of games. I might have read some of the bastard games in here, but I don't really remember any of them.

Fair enough.  I have always been an opponent of the "sit and watch" approach, but you seem pretty keen on it.  We'll see.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I'm an opponent of 'sit and watch' as well. It has too many disadvantages to it.

I'm asking how long that normally takes, though.

There's no average time length for that to happen.

My point is that you shouldn't care about the length of time it takes anyway. It sometimes takes minutes, and sometimes it takes days. Just keep your eyes open and make sure you're doing everything you can to get to that point.

Also spouts some nonsense.

You mean sterling pieces of advice.

I don't need to ask questions or probe anyone to gather information. I can find scum just by getting enough information.

If I could only tell you the number of people who thought they could be successful at the game just by sitting back and observing.

Nope, sorry, being a passive observer doesn't work. You have to get into the thick of things if you really want to get good reads on people. Activity and aggression are much more prized attributes for town than any ability for observation.

ed boy, you are doing it wrong.

I'll be the judge of that, thank you.

mipe9, could you explain to me what the point of your opening post was?

Powder Miner

I claim day Jack of All Trades. I inspected Powder Miner and got back that he is mafia watcher.
It's funny, because in an open setup like this, it is clearly stated in the OP that neither of those roles are in the setup.

Quote
In this setup, there are the possibility of extra roles. These roles are Cop and Doctor for Town, and Roleblocker and Godfather for Mafia.
You lying scum.
mipe9. This fakeclaim is so obvious it's painful.

Orangebottle... that's clearly not a real claim. Conidering he's even said he's played before, noone would be stupid enough to say that. Not really sure what his point was though...


*rolls a die*
OK, Toaster, which alignment would you want to be if a new one was inserted into the game, or Mafia or town got a new player?
Like would you want to be Town, Jester....

If you stick a vote on a joke, I'm going to take it seriously.

Well, OK then. Might as well question another guy while I wait for Toaster to post, as I am impatient and bored, so...

Mindmaker.
What investigative role out of all the roles in existence would you like to be if you could be one? And why?

You don't have to ask all your RVS questions at once. That way you don't end up in odd situations where you're FOSing somebody you want to answer question.

Unless you actually suspect somebody, don't FoS them. Just bold their name or get their attention some other way.

 ???
Is there another investigative role other than cop?

Also interesting use of FOS...

Mormota, are you new to this game? If not and you know the people here, who would you want as a scumbuddy?

Um, yeah. There are other roles in more advanced setups. I had assumed you would know about them, sorry. Un FoS Mindmaker

Powder Miner: If you were a doctor, who would you be protecting tonight?

Ed Boy: Are you going to ask more questions?

Probably Jim Groovester, as the ICs tend to get offed fairly early (from what I've seen).
