We where going to have a get together for my birthday. A house party with 30-40 people. Things came up so we had to reschedule. So now my b-day plans fell through and I had nothing to do. Nephew called me and asked if I wanted to come over and play board games. I said sure. When I got there my boy nephews and some of their friends where there with a cake and sang me happy birthday. Then that night high school friends picked me up and we were out till about 3-4am

dunya wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:08 am What's a skill you'd love to master?
I can't think of anything I want "to master". I would like a little bit of knowledge about everything. That's a different mentality from my father nd grandfather. They where more of learn your job and just do your job. I remember talking to my grandfather and telling him. I was ready for more responsibility and to do more. " I know a little bit of everything now, let me move on." He said " You know a whole lot about nothing. Get back to work."
dunya wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:08 am What's your favorite activity to do with your family?
I like playing board games. Wife not so much but the kids do so she tolerates it, sometimes. We like taking small day trips or weekend trips. Small towns, scenic views, shopping, concerts, or whatever.
dunya wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:08 am What's the longest amount of time you've gone without sleeping?
I have know idea. Probably not much past 24hrs. Though in high school I would party all weekend.

okay ngl i’m that person, anything old school taylor swift
i have every song memorized because my sister made me
ignore the fact that i am a 20 year old man that adores taylor swift

i have a few actually! i’m a bird of many names, Bird, Chili, Trochi, Tro, etc
and that’s just online
irl i was actually called hummingbird in high school because i could never sit still and was always vibrating with energy and it’s where my username comes from (trochilidae is latin for hummingbird), i’ve always adored the little birds
more recently at work my coworkers call me The Sim because i can get incredibly zoned out when i’m focusing on my work (and tend to dissociate often, but they don’t know that part)

the best gift i’ve been given was actually pretty recent, for valentine’s day my girlfriend of about 1 year gave me a hand carved set of 4 little wooden birds (hummingbird, crow, blue jay, dove) and i’m so in love with them
they’re like my cute little protectors and they mean so much more considering the pretty unique symbolism behind them

hmmm probably the first thing i’d do if i won the lottery is buy my mom a pair of savannah cats as silly as it sounds
savannah cats are half serval half house cat and my mom has always lamented about how if she ever gets rich that’s the first thing she’d want
my mom’s given up a lot for me over the years, and it’d be a cute and fitting way to show my appreciation

okay first i should’ve probably introduced myself lmao

so hi i’m trochilidae but you can call me any form of that you like, it’s a fun word to shorten
i’m a 20 year old trans guy (most of the time, it’s complicated) who’s been playing mafia on and off for about two years!

my homesite is originally fol, and i’ve played on MU a fair bit too, but i’ve been wanting to expand my communities recently and i’m always looking to improve and learn more
id absolutely love to play a few games here once i learn the site setup and culture a bit more!

so yeah
that’s me

i like Doing Things (if i’m not actively doing something i enjoy with my free time i get antsy and irritable like there’s something missing from my life) i like social deduction games (was on town of salem forums before anywhere else then migrated to fol after years)
so combine those two and forum mafia is the perfect thing to fill the void
i also obviously like it on the rare occasion that i do manage to catch a wolf and win the game
no better feeling than that

ok this is going to be a very “wtf” thing to say but
god
mafia is so much effort sometimes and it’s painful to go iso-diving intensely when you’re not really in the mood but know you have to
and then i catch myself thinking about the game constantly and keep having to take breaks at work because i had another thought and it lives in my mind rent free nonstop until the game is over

i’m allergic to mosquitoes
that should answer that

this is a whole mood and a half. yeah. i feel this deep in my bones lol.

before my break, mafia felt like *work*

now that i'm playing in a way that is maybe not 100% about winning, but more about "let's have fun playing mafia and try to win" - my focus and playstyles have changed.

so i warn you: be careful of burnout! :D

not sure how controversial these are but
• real time is the best way to get good reads
• vibes, provided explained at least somewhat, are a pretty good method of reading people
• people *always* have a tonal difference between
alignments and if you say you don’t ur lying
• it’s fair game to weaponize emotions, forum mafia is partly a game of emotional manipulation

least controversial
• finding wolves is good

i’ve been trying to avoid it
in my last game i specifically tried to “trymedium” instead of try hard with some success
i just have a perfectionist streak a mile long
combine that with severe executive dysfunction and you get a mess in mafia lmao

I know a lot of old school Taylor Swift songs, too. Used to sing them walking to school. I Knew You Were Trouble, Love Story, You Belong With Me (that one is kinda problematic), Blank Space.

Holy shit are you me

So you say you are trans ‘most’ of the time- what’s your backstory here if you wouldn’t mind me asking?
favorite season is winter! i live in such a hot area that’s it’s nice to finally get some nicer weather

i wish i could pet specifically a baby ocelot which i call ocelittles
i love ocelots so much it’s unreal
they’re beautiful little creatures

so i’m actually disabled (mild ataxic cerebral palsy) which tldr means my fine motor skills, balance, and muscle tone are absolutely shit and as such i suck at most video games
but i do have a special fondness for skyrim because my dad always used to play it with me and we could add enough mods that my motor skills weren’t that much of an issue

and honestly i’ve always wanted to go somewhere i can see the northern lights
to be somewhere that cold, snowy, and special and to look up and see these shining neon ribbons in the sky
it sounds like a dream come true

and okay here’s where the afterlife question comes in, and the trans most of the time question
it’s common knowledge on my homesite, and some people on MU know as well but i have DID, more specifically OSDD-1b which is the same condition, but with less severe amnesia (and before anyone says anything yes i sadly, *actually* have the condition, i’m working with a therapist for it, it’s not by any means all sunshine and rainbows and imaginary friends in your head it’s a horrible debilitating condition that affects my entire life) soapbox over but i DESPISE the fact that my serious mental condition has become a tiktok trend as you can tell
there are technically 4 “people” that make up Trochilidae, i’m just the one most often around so to speak, and i am a trans man (thus me being a trans man *most* of the time

as for the afterlife…i believe in Something but i don’t know what it might be or look like
i know that part of me doesn’t though which sent me into a massive existential crisis about what happens when i die, if my soul is split apart along those lines, if it would let me finally have peace or be eternally painful and isolating, etc
scary shit to think about for me

(and yes this condition throws a curveball playing mafia but i just think of it as being a hydra, a lot of the times i’m called an illegal hydra lmao)
i function as best i can and there are obviously tonal differences when i play, but i make up for this by trying to make details notes so whenever a different trochi takes the wheel they’re never out of the loop
i’m very open to questions about this ftr

What’s your favorite season?
What is your favorite animal that you wish you could pet RIGHT NOW?
Do you play any boardgames? Video games? If so, which?
Anywhere you’ve always wanted to visit?

“mafia is so much effort sometimes and it’s painful to go iso-diving intensely when you’re not really in the mood but know you have to
and then i catch myself thinking about the game constantly and keep having to take breaks at work because i had another thought and it lives in my mind rent free nonstop until the game is over”
Holy shit are you me

So you say you are trans ‘most’ of the time- what’s your backstory here if you wouldn’t mind me asking?
favorite season is winter! i live in such a hot area that’s it’s nice to finally get some nicer weather

i wish i could pet specifically a baby ocelot which i call ocelittles
i love ocelots so much it’s unreal
they’re beautiful little creatures

so i’m actually disabled (mild ataxic cerebral palsy) which tldr means my fine motor skills, balance, and muscle tone are absolutely shit and as such i suck at most video games
but i do have a special fondness for skyrim because my dad always used to play it with me and we could add enough mods that my motor skills weren’t that much of an issue

and honestly i’ve always wanted to go somewhere i can see the northern lights
to be somewhere that cold, snowy, and special and to look up and see these shining neon ribbons in the sky
it sounds like a dream come true

This is SO interesting! Thank you for sharing that.

Thanks for putting that into words. I can’t begin to try and relate. And I’m pretty ignorant in the sense that I haven’t knowingly or personally met anyone with any of your conditions IRL.

I’d like to play with you one of these days to get a sense of this illegahydra


Also I just talked with my mom and she wants to make it up north this year to catch the northern lights. What I told her- if you are in an area that you can successfully see it, that’s probably also all you’ll be doing since it’ll be so dark most the time to do anything else productive lol
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather;
not screaming like the people in his car

Hi @Trochilidae and Welcome!

It's great to have you here and I saw you joined the discord server as well to play video mafia and hopefully to chat with all of us even more!

I just want to say I appreciate you sharing your background with us and am looking forward to getting to know you better. I don't have a question right now, mostly because it's uh 2:30 am and I have no idea why I'm awake lol, but I'm sure I'll have some later!

So welcome and let us know if you have any questions or need help in any way!

Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

not many people have met someone with the condition, it’s very rare lmao
but there are so many misconceptions and it’s such a demonized thing in popular media (split and danganronpa are both godawful examples)

i’d love to play with you too though!

(also is there a feature where you can only quote part of a post these get long real quick lol)

How do you handle people who romanticize or demonize DID? Is there any way that laypeople can help counteract their damage to public perception of the condition?

i’m not going to lie when i see people romanticizing it i kinda fly off the wall
it just *angers* me so damn much
i would do anything to be mentally normal
and to see people glorifying this and treating it with rose colored glasses like on tiktok
i want to scream

i honestly understand those who demonize more because of all the awful representation, if it’s all you know about the condition it’s what you’ll believe
to those people i just try to objectively educate them as best i can

and if there’s any advice i have it’s just to remember that we’re people too, just traumatized ones
and we’re far far more likely to be the victim of violent crimes rather than the instigators

I don't recall whether it's explicitly DID or not, and im not sure how true of a representation of DID it is, but Legion may be worth checking out. It's...without spoiling past the first five minutes of episode one, the main character has superpowers and what is functionally DID afaict*

Worth checking out if that sort of thing interests you, anyways, I know some people don't like seeing something they deal with portrayed in media at times


*in the comics he explicitly does, in the show it's somewhat more complicated/kind of a grey area/ambiguous
