I can’t help myself. I always wanted to say this at the beginning of a game and this seem the perfect one for it 😃 _Got my PM…looks pretty cool_\* \*[Inside Joke](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10586725&postcount=177) ---

I was so thinking of saying that, but decided to wait until the real PMs came out. Guess it was inevitable that someone would. ---

Whilst I think on, will be in Moscow 25th - 29th, and am playing in a live poker tourney on the 30th. Should be able to keep up whilst in Moscow (depends on Hoptel facilities), but will be incommunicado for the Sat/Sun starting the 30th ---

I’m rereading it now, and a long tedious slog it is. The color is wonderful, though. ---

I got a PM. My guess is that everyone but (scum - 1) got the ‘not yet scum’ one which means a mass claim ‘possible scum’ won’t help us much. On the other hand since powers haven’t been distributed yet so I don’t see any immediate harm in doing a mass claim. Anyone else see a down side to it? Perhaps it could be that the masons for example also get to pick one? ---

Got my pm. I like that scum get to recruit before the roles are handed out. Weird mechanism and there are lots of fun twists to discuss. ---

Confirming receipt of preliminary PM. I also don’t know what Natlaw is smoking. **Story** has quite clearly stated that only the (scum -1) have had their roles assigned yet. Any Masons (should there even be any) are still a twinkle in the eye of Fate. ---

Please excuse me; I’m a newbie, so I need to have things spelled out. The Mod has told us two kinds of PMs will be sent: 1. You’re not scum, yet or 2. You’re scum - go pick a playmate Why would anyone receiving PM no. 2 say they did? And what would the risk if they lied and said they got PM no. 1? So Scum would run no risk what so ever, if they lied and said they got the PM qouted by the Mod in his post. ---

Other players may frown upon a choice to do so, but the Moderator will not intervene in any case of post editing. I’d like to talk about this part of the rules. In mafia I really, really don’t like to see a post edited. So this rubs me the wrong way because when I come across a post that has been edited, I don’t just “frown”… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/evil-dead-mafia-ii-teaser-and-sign-ups-game-on/555493.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/evil-dead-mafia-ii-teaser-and-sign-ups-game-on/555493.md?page=8)
