I've never actually played mafia before....could I play this game without being a bore?

Serious question for those in charge, my love of Banjo-Kazooie is quite large.

If this would be suitable for a beginner, I'll go ahead and give this game a spin(ner)

(Bear in mind, I am in PopCon; if that would be a problem, this I will give up on)

In all seriousness, I don't know dick about Mafia, and would need some manner of crash course in how to play...but you got me at the Banjo-Kazooie theming

Hi jivjov! You should absolutely play. Go check out the main mafia discussion thread for information on the game and how it works and poo poo.

I will absolutely take this advice, and hope a cram session will suffice...

I have a couple trans friends, and they're both comfortable with me calling them dude, so I think it's one of those things that just comes down to personal preference.

It's probably easier to get that it's not an assumption of gender and more just how I communicate IRL though.

Your point is absolutely right, my rhyming posts makes context tight

If y'all want me to drop the rhyming thing, I can. (Especially since I'm obviously not Grunty; we killed Grunty).

My biggest restriction has honestly been my work schedule; I haven't had the time to sit down and compose but thought process pieces over the last couple days.

Re: dongs

My gut says town...but with a little twinge of worry due to the amount of other people that seem to think he's suspect. But if you put me on the spot now, I'd say town

Reread the thread and tell me from a gut reaction (or a fancy case) the alignment of me, Dongs, and Retro Futurist, particularly from the lynch of TPC

I'll start with you, since I have the clearest mental grasp of you as a player thus far. I'm fairly certain you're town, but your aggressive posting style makes me worry a bit. I get a real "your way or the highway" vibe. Which, if it works, great

Alright, well, dongs is not the best at 'coherent and lengthy posting', so I'm having trouble getting a solid read here...but he at leasts seems very consistent. That seems reasonably trustworthy...so he's either town and confident or mafia scum and a good liar.

RF is also on board the "vote Tomm" train which, in my amateur opinion, makes me more okay with that idea and more willing to trust the pair of them as a unit.
