After relooking through the thread, I now see that it is in your reaponse post. I'll try and be more vigilant about rereading things.

In a mafia game, everyone should be trying to think in, "town's view," regardless of actual alignment. I say, "oh well," a lot because it helps me not care so much and shrug off unimportant things.

But both of my non-town experiences are not ring chosen, in other words, the mafia rng hates me. [/quote] I understand where you're coming from. In my earlier days, I was seen as suspicious even though I was town. It's frustrating but you have to work through it and figure out how to improve your play style to get away from that.

3. How’s your activity, will you be online all the time or will you only have a few posts each day?
I don't know.

4. What do you think about newbies?
ehhh... It's best not to have too many, or too little of them.

5. What do you think about sheeping?
DONT. DO. IT. in my brain--> sheepers=scum

6. What do you think about lurking?
try not to.

7. What do you think about inactivity?
just modkill them.

@Tynnk I can absolutely relate to that. This is my 9th game and I've only been mafia 3 timesish, as one time I was nk'd N1. Stupid mafia. But yeah, I keep rolling town too and it's annoying the heck out of me XD

Here's your other answers!

1. What’s your time zone?
I'm FR+3, which means that I will be on nowhere near rollover or lockdown.

2. What pronouns do you prefer?
I'm female, so she/her, and if you forget it's down in my sig :) I won't bite you if you use they/ them, but I will be thoroughly confused if you refer to me as a he.

3. How’s your activity, will you be online all the time or will you only have a few posts each day?
School is not too busy atm, so I'll be decently active. However, if almost used up my data for the month, so I won't be posting in school. Sorry :( My brother is a computer hog, so I'll be stuck on mobile. You can expect to see me most often between FR time 12:00 and 16:00, maybe 17.

4. What do you think about newbies?
Honestly, I didn't know that Knickknacks was a newbie last game since they were so active. As long newbies try and contribute, I'm fine with them. It's the newbies that ONLY ask questions that I will poke and ask for more input.

5. What do you think about sheeping?
I dislike sheeping. Unless someone is a newbie, it gives me scummy vibes and I will poke you and ask for reasoning if no one else has already.

6. What do you think about lurking?
I only tolerate lurkers a bit more, as most do have their own opinions. However, if they are posting elsewhere on FR for a day or more, or their dragons have full energy, I will poke them. I like poking people, can you tell? Lurking can be scummy or newbie behavior and really depends on the situation for me to form an opinion about it.

7. What do you think about inactivity?
Inactive players usually get subbed or modkilled. I usually just forget that they exist if they never post, but I still don't like it. Inactivity is typically bad for town, unless it's the mafia that's inactive, so more poking. I'd probably let the modgod, StormDrain, handle this situation though :P
