Public notice of my confirmation PM: I sent in a confirmation PM. All set and ready over here! Incidentally – can we make it a hard-n-fast rule that we immediately lynch anyone who uses the phrase “TPS Report”? ---

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I got the PM and thought I’d already sent it back. ☹ My head’s spinning over all this and I’m trying to keep up with here and the link Mtgman sent. Hopefully, I’ll have at least a sorta basic working knowledge of what’s going on and what I should do. Again, I apologize for the delay. Now I’m off to reading and the other confirming. ---

It’s probably best I am not in the game. IAARLC I could do the entire lot in management speak and hate myself for days afterwards 😃 Enjoy all, and **Hal B** - best of luck. ---

I’ll pass. As I learned just last week, once I start drinking I just don’t know when to stop. I’d prefer **not** to puke all over my bedroom again, thanks. ---

[/QUOTE] FYI, I sent **faithfool** a link to a mafia tutorial. It’s actually kind of cool. There’s a neat flash overview of a game and intro to common characters. Then it links out to [mafiascum.net](http://mafiascum.net) [http://www.sitesled.com/members/mikeburnfire/mafiascum04.swf](http://www.sitesled.com/members/mikeburnfire/mafiascum04.swf) Hey, **faithfool** , if you just go through the sample game in the flash demo I think that will be enough to get you started. The first game played here, called Werewolf, had a pretty good intro to the game too. Enjoy, Steven ---
