Also for anyone new to the game, the Werewolf - A Game that I linked is a great introduction as it’s almost entirely composed of new players ---

Looks like I missed the cutoff for the first werewolf game and joined the second one in March of '07: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=414041&highlight=vote](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=414041&highlight=vote) I just searched my username and the word “vote”. I guess I don’t use that word much outside of mafia threads. ---

[LOTS of games played here](http://psychopathgame.proboards.com/), at Idle Mafia, if you’re trying to find a game or just want to revisit reading about one. It has every game in the 5 year history of playing on there. ---

> [@Scathach](#): > > Idle’s OP was putting all “old school” players at before 2007 - was there games on straightdope or related boards before that? No, it was just me misremembering. I thought it was way before 2007 when we started…not “actually 2007”. My mistake. ---

I guess I don’t use that word much outside of mafia threads. Do a search of the word “mafia” and use the drop down box to just search ‘thread titles’. That brings up every mafia game played on here. ---

I’ve PMed and emailed him, he was last active just a week ago, so there’s a good chance he’ll see this. I’ve asked him if he wanted to join as a player or co-host. ---

> [@Scathach](#): > > Apropos of nothing in particular, when was everyone’s first game? I looked it up to check, mine was De’endee mafia here on straightdope in 2011. I played in the first two games here back in 2007, then I think life got in the way for a while. I came back for Lord of the Rings Mafia in 2010, then played obsessively here, at the Geeb, and on Idle’s board, for 3-4 years. Just the past few weeks I’ve been feeling the urge again…and lo and behold, look what pops up! ---

**Drain Bead** , we’ll try not to make you regret it. But you might make us regret it. IIRC, you’re one of those players who’s a replicant when you play as Scum-- More human than human, and thus impossible to catch. My first game was the Scarlett Letter one. I can’t remember who ran it, but I remember that **Mahaloth** and **Rysto** were Scum. **Mahaloth** was my #2 suspect for pretty much the entire game, but unfortunately my #1 suspect rotated through a long list of various Townies. And my last night in the game, I put together a damning analysis of **Rysto** that catapulted him straight to #1, but then got night-killed before I got a chance to vote for him. Even though I’d fully claimed by that point, the Scum team was convinced that I had a secret power I wasn’t telling anyone about, because I happened to luck out and make a couple of correct guesses. ---
