A New Beginner [Signups]
 

Welcome to the newest incarnation of Beginner mafia, A New Beginner. This game is designed to help users who are new to the game join and integrate themselves within the mafia community. As such, only people who have been in fewer than 3 games may be considered to join. This is to allow people who are learning how to play some time before they take the full plunge into Smogon mafia.

The game will be fairly simple and will use common roles that everyone in the mafia community is familiar with. My hope is that by the end of this game, you will know what to expect from most games here on Smogon. Below is an FAQ; I suggest first time players read through it to get a general idea of the game.



Alright, that should be it for the "how to play". In addition to that there are several rules which are not to be broken by anyone. They’re important, and if you get in the game you should probably read them.



Two other things. Firstly, please attempt to be active for this game. I would prefer not to have to sub you out of the game, so if you can, please stick with the game and check it at regular intervals. If you play the game for a few days and nights, you WILL get it.

Secondly, if you have any questions on absolutely anything mafia related, you can ask me (askaninjask), billymills, Altair, or theangryscientist. We are more than happy to answer any questions you might have on anything I just said and more.

The factions in this game are named in the following way. The village is going to be called the Republicans. All members of the village will be notable Republicans. There will be two mafia factions, the first of which will be called the Liberal Media Elite and the second of which will be called the Illegal Aliens. There will also one person who needs everyone else dead called the Lone Wolf.

While the game is somewhat political in nature, I’m sure you will be able to enjoy it no matter how you feel about American politics.

To sign up for the game, post in this thread saying that you wish to join. Once again, you may NOT join the game if you have played 3 or more Smogon mafia games in the past. There will be 17 players in this game, but I will probably need a few users whom I can use as substitutes for lazy people.

EDIT: IRC, while not necessary, is extremely useful for these kinds of games. If you play, you will have the most fun and play the best if you use IRC. There are tutorials about how to get onto IRC here if you use a PC and here if you use a Mac.

In! I haven't been in any mafia games but have a pretty firm grasp on the concept and have followed many of the Circus mafias over the past few years. Also P1.

DAMMIT!

Oh well, expect me to be an avidly-watching spectator instead.

EDIT: One says you're only allowed in if you've played < 3 games.

One says you're not allowed in if you've played >= 3 games.

There is no contradiction.

I wrote this article with beginners in mind. If you want to read up more on the specifics of Mafia, check this out, as it lays everything out quite nicely.

in :D

edit: P1

Where is Uncle Sam? This game would be right up hi alley!

p1 please
btw this will be my second Game Officially

You have played 3 games. The first of those rules says you may only join if you have played less than 3 games, which makes you ineligible. The second one says you may not join if you have played 3 or more games, which also makes you ineligible. Either way, given that those games were so long ago, aska may see fit to allow you into the game, so you might as well sign up anyway.

Edit: TAS helped me

in, i guess!

Afraid I can't join because of finals (for me), but I'll sub in later.

and for reference, I've played in 2 and hosted 1, so I'm good to go.

If you come on IRC (as I suggest you do if you're playing), I've created a channel you can hang out on so you can speak with other people in the game. The channel is called #congress, and you should join it.

You were in:
Futurama
Internet
Medieval NOC
Eep edit: Shift too

Might be another I'm missing. So that's aska's call
