@ Tsaiah, are there any players who you feel have most influenced your approach to Mafia (from any site)?

I have an ongoing list. :3 (I actually said OOH I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THIS out loud xD)

Gonna break these up into multiple posts, hue. To start with:


Stanari - Just. In all kinds of ways. I've known her since my first game of mafia, and between playing with her, watching her play, being in her games, talking with her, and following her to other sites, i don't feel like i can possibly quantify what all i've learned about mafia, myself, and others, directly and indirectly, thru Stan.


Abyssum - Of all the then-new players I've encountered, I think I grabbed their arm the hardest, in wanting them to keep playing (and to play with meeee xD). We have different but overlapping approaches, and from them I've learned soooo much about how to get into people's heads effectively, how to better present thoughts, how to stand your ground, reassesing vs second guessing, gosh, just so many things. Also find them to be a shining beacon of good humor as a part of even more serious play.


Polygone - Absolutely my introduction to more unorthodox playstyles, from poly I learned to understand, respect, and treasure different approaches to the game. Also that the harmless sounding crazy fun guy in a game can, in actuality, be a silver-tongued, word-spinning devil leading everyone off a cliff. xD His love of fun as a vital component of a game has been huuugely influential, helping keep me grounded if i edge toward -too- seriousness, as well as his treatment of fellow players, and defense of thread health.

do you think people are inherently good or evil?

- Pizza! Almost all cheeeeeses. Sushi. Asian style noodles. Danishes with coffee. And red bull? xD

- GOOD. The vast majority, at any rate. And i feel very, very strongly about this. :3

Pancakes or waffles?

Do you prefer vanilla mafia or wacky madness mafia?

What was your most memorable mafia moment/game?

- Umm, pancakes most often (tho occasionally a really strong waffle mood hits me). They're both good tho!

- Both--very mood and game dependent. I enjoy a good mountainous (no prs at all), a lower-power classic game, or intensely brain exploding mechanics. Probably like the two extreme ends the very most, thinking about it--all the crazy mech, or none at all!

- Ooh, memorable moments...there are so many, tho! Just randomly picking a few:xD

FR's TV Tropes 1, an intense, looong, 24-hour phase crazed mechanics fest, where I first started getting to know my significant other, Polygone. :3

MU's first anniversary game, the celebration and screaming when the last mafia was lynched on d7 (i was town doc, had claimed on d4, and mafia had left me alive to try to mislynch x3; )

FR's TV Tropes 2, the point at which as scum, i was forced to walk back a hard push on my bud and longtime rival Fish, when he outted as alignment cop. Took me an hour or two to nail the tone, but somehow i managed it successfully in one post--and simultaneously pocketed Fish in the process xD (still consider that my best scumgame hue)

FR's Lollipop, Lollipop, where my beloved mafia friend Stanari got sort of mechanically outted, and proceeded to utilize the editing-allowed rule that game by editing almost all of her hundreds of posts into BIRD GIFS. xD Then later claimed that her wincon flipped between mafia and town so believably, that even after all that, I BELIEVED HER xD (we didn't kill her for days!)

MU's introduction to FR-style role madness games in the form of Poly's Sukilimas 1 :3
5 people 400-800 posted on d1--and only -one- of them was town. xD By far my favorite hard-fought LOSS to a great mafia team hue

And pretty much any game where i've gotten to have an amazing neighborhood chat! Top among those: chat with town abyssum! (i couldn't neighbor them fast -enough- i was so excited xD) One with town Wolf was also pretty awesome, and a particularly memorable chat where MAFIA polygone utterly convinced town me he was a neutral (and i proceeded to defend him as such xD)

Oh i missed where from: Mississippi, US

how often do you use facebook?

do you read the newspaper?

can you speak any other languages?

what's one physical feature you wish you could change about yourself?

what do you do for a living/study?

Facebook: never? xD I -have- an account, but i primarily used it to get back in contact qith some old high school and college friends, and i've just never been interested in posting frequent feed updates, so xD

Newspaper: i enjoy reading online newspapers (tho i tend to do my news catchups in spurts). The harder part these days is finding media that is actually primarily text-based--i go to news outlets to -read- the news, not to watch videos, for the most part, and so many of them (even online newspapers) are heavy on videos now ;;

Lanuagues: speak, no. xD But i've always been fascinated by other languages, and i enjoy learning them. :3 i did get to a point where i could understand juuust enough Japanese to catch vague gists in anime, but i'm rusty now. Studying Latin (dead languages woo!) and German in school was also fun.

Physical feature: Uhhh, hmm. xD I've grown more comfortable in just looking like i happened to look, over the years, but if i could -now- I'd probably just Avatar-movie-style transfer me into a younger version, loool

For a living: Right now i work at Chili's, and almost all my jobs have been in customer service of some type.
Study: i majored in English, and i'd rather be a fiction writer, but that doesn't pay the bills! xD I do still write regularly for fun, tho.
