Instead, I just throw out random three-dollar words.😃 This is why I always feel double-weird about playing scum. My style often centers on finding small discrepancies and PIS breaks, and analyzing voting patterns for oddities. However, it’s also so abrasive that the only way I don’t get lynched is often by producing results. Which I can’t effectively do as a scum. 😃 ---

I would recommend you subscribe to this thread so you are alerted to updates. Or even better, subscribe to the Mafia Games Hosting Line thread since games are usually announced there as well as in the last game thread. Or just watch the board for the next announced game. ---

Hey guys, Mahaloth has more internet than he expected, so our game should be ready to launch in a few days! Just giving you the heads up so you know it’s coming. Here’s a hint - it’s called RPG mafia, and for some of you, it involves earning experience points to level up! ---
