HypersomniacLive: You're supposed to capitalise the first letter of the first word in a sentence, not the last letter of the last word... is this some sort of HijacK infection?

yogsloth: So, is RW the man for the tourney? Did everyone else take a step backwards, leaving him the only one forward?

drealmer7: hell no!

I think I consider a lot of my enterings "phrasings" rather than sentences, and so I don't capitalize/punctuate. I'll do better though, because I think I have begun to lack on my structuring, which, as a writer, I should probably be ashamed for doing. Thanks for the push.

yogsloth: So, is RW the man for the tourney? Did everyone else take a step backwards, leaving him the only one forward?

HypersomniacLive: He doesn't? And how's he supposed to recoup what he spent bribing all you guys to step down??

yogsloth: I think RW would be a great choice too.

Let's make it officialamous.

Bookwyrm627: Games. Psychonauts is cheap and I don't own it (yet).

Bookwyrm627: Games. Psychonauts is cheap and I don't own it (yet).

Bookwyrm627: Define "properly". Also, feel free to just hang out in the observer thread during games. Easy place to ask questions and get answers while you decide about whether to play.

HypersomniacLive: Welcome, medamiedo! Stick around, follow a game or two, jump right in - you will soon enough discover there's no such thing as "playing properly" here. ;-D

drealmer7: let us know if you need any help setting up the bit of script (soooo non-invasive or resource-using!) that allows you to ISO people

or how to do an avatar (which might take a while to show up)

or whatever else

bler144: FWIW, I was joking last night and meant to cycle back. Just no time to do it.

The shortish version is that ever site plays a bit different, so wherever you learn to play "properly" some things will change when you play someone else: culture, speed/frequency, setups.

gog for example, plays pretty slow, longish days/games with low post counts. Thus the people flabbergasted at the notion of reading 500 posts per (game) day. And that in 36-72 hours.

It's not unusual for us to have a whole game take 500 posts over 2-3 weeks. Most recent game was 750 total.

That said, we also tend to get slightly longer posts. MU for having more posts also in my experience tends to have more one-liners. Also lolcats. So it's not all content.

We also tend to like overly complex setups with many roles, hostile 3rd party roles are common, rarely have scum day chat, etc.

We occasionally have some flare ups, but out and out hostility is fairly rare.

Go somewhere else and anything on that list can change.

medamiedo: Um. Well, I dunno yet what properly is lol. I've played forum mafia elsewhere but I'm bad.

medamiedo: Hehe cool I figured out how to edit stuff.. but it's a bit clunky.

medamiedo: Omg that's super helpful, thanks so much!! I don't like MU at all T_T games are just so long..

drealmer7: medamiedo:

[strike]we also never lie as town around here (except that ONE TIME [that was so beautiful!] - but that is only something that should ever occur maybe once every 5 years in the entirety of the mafia world)

and claims are not made until L-1

and townies don't self-vote[/strike]

I'm a big fat liar

Bookwyrm627: Bad, or Bad?

Bookwyrm627: Go ahead and unlearn that editing mess right now. Will save you some trouble. ;)

Bookwyrm627: ...define "long". Like, thread length, or amount of time during a day, or what?

medamiedo: How do I quote multiple posts without editing?

JMich: Manually. Just add the quote_xxxx tag in your post, or alternatively, press reply, create your post, copy it over to a text file, then cancel the reply. Repeat for all posts, then paste the full text in a new post.
Be aware that pressing the reply button will send a notification to the user that there are new replies to his posts, while quoting them will not (unless reply has been pressed of course). Useful for pinging users.
