Welcome K-Ness! Tell me about yourself. What brings you to this epic mega man game?

Thank you.

I've played Mafia for over 10 years now, exclusively at HCRealms (where I've also run a few games here and there). Jack messaged me about the Mega Man game here, and since it's Mega Man (every realms avatar I've had since 2004 or so has been Mega Man-related), I figured I'd finally give a game here a try.

Syndicate games appear somewhat different from Realms games, but I don't think it will be anything too challenging to learn. I'm already familiar with the core rules. It's just learning the subtle nuances about how games are played here. And I recently played a game with several Syndicate members on the Realms where I saw just how radically different play styles can be.

I have had Megaman X downloaded on my Wii U for over a year and never started it up. Maybe this game will be the breakthrough I need.

I bet Rob gave K-Ness a neat role, we should probably lynch him in any case

What happens if we get the poll question wrong?

I think I’d prefer to lose this one, actually.

Checking in! Haha. Sorry it took me so long to come around. The end of the week is...well....It's that work I am not supposed to say in mafia anymore. I guess I better get to reading.

As I was working today, Epi told me I had 12 pages to read already. I guess he cannot count.

Looks like I haven't missed much.

I'm not really sure how to describe my playstyle. I tend to interrogate people a lot, and my intuition has often proven to be pretty strong.

I come from a community I've been a part of ever since I was 12 or so, I've grown up alongside the people there and got some close friends there

I've been playing forum mafia for about two and a half years

I read posts and listen to what my intuition tells me about them, so I don't really actively look for anything specific, I just let my reads come to me -but obviously ultimately I'm looking for scum, even if I'm scum myself I try to trick myself into genuinely looking for scum but I have a difficult time doing that. And of course I look for fun!

What about yourself?

Which community? These online communities are one of my favourite parts of modern life. I first got involved with such on Lostpedia forums, when my wife and I were HEAVILY into LOST. The relationships we have formed since then have changed our lives, and we have watched others' lives get changed as well... more than one MARRIAGE due to online community involvement. It's still so astounding to me.

Why so few N64 games tho?

Well, the only N64 game I ever gave a damn about is Mario Kart, so I hadn't given that much thought.

It's called Escape Restart, it's a gaming community - I agree though, some of the people I've met through online communities are people I don't know what I'd do without so I'm very grateful to have been a part of that one

So, what are we dealing with here? Closed setup, and we don't even know which roles are on the bad team.

So, what is the method of catching someone on Day 1? Ask questions and hope someone slips up?

Create a whirlwind of a thread by facilitating maximal activity. Ask questions, make comments, and hurl accusations at every opportunity. The thread needs to be a pressured and even stressful environment.

Right on! Like, the only reason I have been to New York City is because Lorab hosted a LOST Finale party there, and it is a very fond memory. Not because of New York, but because of the people I finally got to meet in person, and love as friends. I'm several drinks in tonight though, don't let me go on and gush any more.

Megaman X and Megaman Legends are best Megamans anyway.
