This man is wise, and will go far.

I think you're asking the wrong question, Dani...

Heh; that's a good one, but I was actually thinking of "

".

Being welcoming is not a suicide pact. I hope that many of the SA "tour group" will join and become 'scummers at some point... but that's not the same thing as letting them just do whatever.

(and for the record, I think the embassy thread idea was actually kind of clever, and helped keep people from flipping out when

87

5 new members started posting in wild colors...)

Hi, don't come into our home and be a dick.

You made a thread about whether or not people believe in a theory.

We like to argue.

It's a

Mafia

site, remember?

So how does Mafia-play determine your element? Sort of Fire = likes to lynch quickly, Air are talkers...?

Not Serious + Emotional sounds a bit like AniX or Quagmire.

Cool, I'm going to pull this into its own thread (in MD, even, since it's related to the game IMO). Unless someone wants to split out these posts... (I don't have access to do so).

That's cool that even most of SA falls into Earth. I've started the new thread here: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6539

You want the Battle Mage? You can't handle the Battle Mage! [/afgm]

Seriously, BM could probably play on both sites w/o breaking a sweat.

If we ever get a dark theme on this site,

Air

is totally going to pwn us...

Or not.

Alright...

Actually, even better advice would be "don't treat MafiaScum like Something Awful".

Alasdair's (apparent) inability to refuse to rise to bait is not

our

problem.

(quick, count the double negatives!)

Mr. Flay · Post Post #193 (isolation #12) » Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:04 am

Or you'll all be dead...

Seriously. You only get to play like you did in Newbie 342

once

per site. But in any case, I look forward to it if you guys can spur the site on to somewhat faster games, without getting maniacal about it...

Man, the urge to point out asshole 'Scummers that we've never banned is

nigh overwhelming
