Do I have to answer my own survey? It seems like a headache to type out that whole chunk of words, @tanglefire I admire your effort,

Hi, I’m Knickknacks, but you can call me Knick :)

I’m in a FR+3 timezone, I’m a female human being, and I’m just finishing up my school year so I’ll probably be decently active.

What do I think about newbies? I am a newbie hah, this is only my second game! (my first one being the one Tynnk modded) I learned a lot, but may still make some mistakes, so we’ll see how this goes.

Sheeping? I think, especially if you’re Town, you should always have an idea or reason for a lynch. Even if you read other people’s cases against the person in question, that’s better than “oh I just want to lynch someone let’s pick this person,” you know? It’s okay to have hunches, of course, but make sure you do *have* a reason before lynching.

Lurking? I think that if you have *time* to post, time enough to be silently reading through the thread, you can afford to participate even a little bit. Don’t be afraid to jump in! What’s the worst that could happen?

Inactivity? I get that real-life stuff comes up, and that’s fine. Real life should ultimately take priority over an online murder-mystery game. But if you can’t keep up, better to apply for a sub than to be lynched for it. Not that I’d personally lynch someone just to get rid of an inactive player.

*flings text block at thread* heeere you be, guys.

*currently being very hyped about having people answering my questions*
Anyways, I guess there’s no escape, if I asked questions, I should be prepared to answer them.
Ok, so
I’m in FR +15/16 depending on the annoying summer time thing, same as tanglefire and stormdreamer, you can call me he, she, it, they, I, you, whatever you want, as long as you make it clear that it’s me, I have school but I sneak to fr at school and so does tangle but apart from mornings and nights, I’m online when you guys are sleeping and I’m offline when you guys are typing, that’s probably one of the reasons I have loads of fluff spam posts since when you guys are all sleeping, nothing new comes up, but I’m bored here. I guess the only person that benefits from a “rare” time zone is the mod since they can carry their whatsoever work undisturbed...

Enough of self intro, so here are my points:

Newbies, welcome! I asked this question to see if there are any newbie discriminators, looks like there aren’t! So, @/newbies (yes I know someone called newbies) don’t sheep and don’t lurk and try to learn if you don’t want scum to win! If you don’t know how to play, you’re more than welcome to ask us! We are very nice and helpful people!

Sleeping is fine but sheeping is not, @/sheepers I’m not discriminating you or something I know that you are new and can’t find someone suspicious, and that you want to lynch someone and see them die, but the point of a mafia game is not to see people die (though it’s fun) but it’s to hunt out the scums and kill them, if you just followed the bandwagon, firstly, if it’s initiated by the scums, you’ll end up being their puppet, which is not fun, secondly, it’ll make you seem scummy and gives scum an excuse to lynch you, so for your precious lives and for the lives of others, please don’t sheep.
So, here’s my advise (I know I’m still kinda a newbie but oh well), go through the posts (yes it’s time consuming) and find anything suspicious about someone, by suspicious, there isn’t any real definition, but there are a few things you keep in mind, firstly, see if the posts make sense, I mean, other than pgos (looking at stormdreamer), who would lie about their posts a lot? Secondly, think in a town’s point of view, do their posts seem to think like a town? (Credits to people playing my game, I learnt a lot from modding, seriously, I strongly advise you guys to not be scared and mod a game, you’ll learn a lot from that) even if you don’t have evidence, you can rely on your guts, sometimes, you think that someone seems scummy but can’t think of why, probably, your brain already processed it for you without you knowing!

Lurking, first, define lurking, lurking means you’re playing fr, posting on other forums, you have time, but you just aren’t posting here. Very probably, they aren’t mafia, maybe it’s just me being inexperienced, but I haven’t seen much Mafia lurkers, but it doesn’t mean that lurking is alright! Here’s why, firstly, lurking makes you impossible to read, which will waste our time, also, you’ll make people so annoyed that they want to lynch you, and you won’t be happy if you’re dead (unless you’re jester) also, our lynches are limited, we only have one lynch each day, why waste the lynch on you when we could lynch a mafia?

Inactivity, it basically means you not getting on fr at all, I don’t blame you for inactivity as much as lurking, I do understand that some real life problems come in your way, but please, be responsible, if you know that you aren’t going to be free, don’t sign up in the first place! It’s a responsibility! Secondly, maybe you had something happening suddenly after you sign up, then don’t just leave without a word, apply for a sub! It won’t take more than a minute to give the mod a pm. Anyways, either way, it gives the mod a headache, especially when there are no subs left.

Sorry for my chunk of words, originally, I decided to only have a few lines, but I ended up with paragraphs and paragraphs of nonsense, oh well...
Some of my advice might be wrong, @/experienced players please correct me if I’m wrong, thanks.

Hi all! I'm Person, I don't really care what pronouns you use for me, She/they works, but if you call me he I won't get too up in arms about it.

I'm fr +3

I do work abou 3 to 4 das a week, so there will be 8-12 hour chunks that I'll be missing but I'll rule and catch up on breaks and whatnot. I know one day I'm working 16 hours so I'll let you know when that's going on, but otherwise I'll be here pretty often.

I'm somewhat of a newbie myself, and I know the mistakes I've made and how it can be made harder for the rest of the players to tell if someone being a newb is actually just a newb or if they're ring scummy.

Of course sheeting is bad, it's an easy way for he mafia to control what's ping and and peoples perception.

On lurking, I have a tendency to do that on accident, just because I've never been too outspoken even in regular forums, but I will be trying to make sure I get my ideas out there and not be too quiet. With other people I find it kind of sis, but it's not the number one thing because I know that for some it can be a personality thing.

If you aren't using it as a mafia game strategy you aren't being useful, so overall I think it's a good way to weed people out of there aren't any really scummy vibes

Also, note, I'm usually on mobile so sorry for any weirdness in autocorrect or formatting if I don catch it.

The newbie question is for letting newbies know how nice we are and how much we care for them, so they won’t be scared or ashamed of posting, so it kinda makes them more active, which deals with the lurking/inactivity problems, which makes scumhunting easier! See the link here?
