2. May I suggest the solution I have presented in this post? Change display name to costume name, and make your "Personal Text" your standard username? It'd be much less frustrating if usernames are included in each post for identification purposes. Normally I wouldn't be too keen to follow advice from a self-described homicidal maniac...but this makes good sense. Besides, how bad can this guy really be? I mean, he looks just like every one else... Plus, he hasn't once tried to roast me...

An excellent suggestion as regards the personal text, Maniac. They'll never notice the snuggle. It's not much of one, anyway. Really only a slight nuzzle.
I'm all for joke votes and even random votes on day one in principle, but they don't seem to be necessary as ice breakers around these parts -- or these parties, hah! -- so why bother? I do dislike when townies only vote very late. But I'm not going to say why. Obviously it's because it makes you look like a scummy scum scum who's spending more time sniffing the wind than he is thinking about who else is MURDERING PEOPLE IN THEIR SLEEP, because he already knows, hee! I love to catch them when they do that. Mustn't let them know I'm onto them.

<snip> -+-Journal found of "Halloween Party Mini Mafia"-+- No vanilla roles found in mini party - Query odds of no vanilla roles here. Nordom is not fishing, just computing things out loud, advices others to consider whether it is safe to speculate out loud. If natlaw/Nordom was vanilla town he would know that the odds of no vanilla town would be identically zero. He has outed himself as either a town power or he is a fisherscum. So, no Nordom, it is not safe for town to speculate about that out loud on day one. Bad Nordom, bad.

So, no Nordom, it is not safe for town to speculate about that out loud on day one. Bad Nordom, bad. The Pleonast school of mafia disagrees I think. Although Nordom's thinking did not imply whether he has powers or not. Nordom remembers handshaking but detects no presence of a publicly posted role PM or win condition. Will a public role PM or win condition be posted?Dr. Rajesh is not shaking any of Nordoms four hands. Curious George missed handshaking in his list. Nordom doesn't want to use invitation cards to spoil the party. Conclusions: Rajesh doesn't have town win condition or doesn't want to burn his hands again. George has a short term memory? Curious.

It's no secret that I'm very often a late voter and therefore I tend to see this behavior as best (: : really, I act in a manner I find okay). Still... based on the costumes and the role-playing I find it a good idea to discuss matters like this once more. So we get it out there: What is color, fun and jokes - and what is "real" play-style and hard-corn mafia? tho isn't that part of the point of a costume game, to play "in character"?

You are Town. You win when all threats to the town are dead.
That's the general town win con, except not always, I'm pretty sure it's worded slightly differently in some of the role pms. I HATE this kind of metagaming. STOP IT!

My costume doesn't have too much dialogue upon which to base much role play on, but I'll do my best to be as cryptic and mystical as possible.

You can play in character all you want to. As long as you remember that you're still responsible for the game you play. This Day started out with a bit of fun, fluff and Halloween-parting. That quite all right. But we also have to make sure that votes and stuff like smudges or snuggling isn't allowed in the entire game due to "hey, I was just playing in character". I hope you see the difference. I'm not trying to ruin the fun. But 3 pages of fluff just seems to me as enough. I'm not trying to be a party pooper. I just really - very much - like it when we also play mafia

STOP IT! but do you have a standard format for the pms. i mean like different sections and bad spelling and punctuation. or crap even perfect spelling and punctuation? and are they really sections or just paragraphs? that could be really important. i mean, i am just being curious. how are we going to hash this out lacking this information?

SQUEEK? (In this game, I think lynching all liars is going to be unusually complex, because of the number of us who are playing our roles inasmuch as we can. Which isn't to say that lynch all liars isn't a useful policy, just that determining a lie may be more difficult than usual.)
SQUEEK. (I'm all for letting the non-participants not participate. Though I don't understand why you'd sign up for a game and not participate, still. Low-number participants who post mostly fluff, however -- or high-number participants who do the same! -- are fair game for lynching.)
SQUEEK! (Grudges are bad.)
SQUEEK. (It's way too soon to be discussing mass claims. And, yeah, I think name claims are a moot point this particular game.)
SQUEEK!! (Scum would totally do that. Remember, Scum have multiple brains, while the rest of us -- most likely -- are working on our own. So what seems unlikely to you or me as individuals might have some benefit that the multiple brains of Scum have come up with. So, yeah. Scum would totally do that if it benefited them.)
Squeek. (Does anyone on this board ever vote by random.org? And joke votes are what they are, and early in Day One are unlikely to be tells; but see what I had to say about Scum Doing That.)

Hey, I'm only wearing a hat and a neckerchief...or is that TMI? and regarding handshaking and hashing and all that lovely meta-gaming stuff, it seems our Mod have seen fit to invalidate all those lines of inquiry by varying the vanilla PM's. To this, I say, Thank you, thank you, thank you. (of course, I'm sure nothing will stop the more curious among us from trying anyway...)

But we also have to make sure that votes and stuff like smudges or snuggling isn't allowed in the entire game due to "hey, I was just playing in character". Totally OOC -- I appreciate your position (though I assume you mean joke votes or something?), but my character is all ABOUT saying one thing and "saying" another -- smudges and snuggling in spades, basically. He's a deceptive character who due to a personal quirk of speaking his inner thoughts aloud is fooling no one (or is he?) That's part of why I chose the costume; I figured it would be fun. I hope I can make it clear enough what is seriously meant and what is just for giggles, and I'm not going to cry too many tears if I push it too far and get lynched for it, but I do intend to play the role the way I imagined, or there was no point in joining this game at all. So just so I'm clear. I will be playing mafia, just a little bit twisted.

Of course, you have to remember:
People, including mafia people, are stupid. They will always believe a lie, especially when they are afraid it is the truth.
Be mindful.

"shape up" a bit so we didn't go 15 pages of funny fluff-posts. Mafia should be fun and we can have stuff in this game related to costumes. That's fine (and I enjoy a good laugh too). I just needed a bit of gaming as well

Here's one that's been on my mind and I've never seen come up before: "odd" is not a scum tell. Odd is odd. Although sometimes odd means you wind up doing the fetching and carrying for an odd god. Hah, I'm too kind. Crazy bastard is crazy.

Yeah, it might be 95% true, but on the other hand sometimes what tweaks your interest might lead to something good. So the general rule, I think is, make good cases and back them up. I've had it up to my eyebrows with the whole "I'm voting for so an so because they did x." But then they can't explain why x is scummy.
