Cool cool. Yeah that's me; I'm roping a few smogon buddies that are pretty ok at noc in to get the game filled.

Oh sorry; yes I am. I'm about to join a game on bulbagarden; hopefully it goes well lol. What's your name on bulbagarden?

Yeah I'll definitely give it a look, thanks. You're always welcome to drop by around Smogon for a game as well

I've played outside smogon a good bit. I've played on epicmafia, mafiascum, dailymafia, pokemon online, and a few other places to various degrees. Smogon is what really got me interested in mafia, though, and I'm still friends with and play mafia with people from my very first mafia game (28 weeks later mafia), which I can't say about any other community I've played mafia in.

Yeah sure!

I think the community is fairly well distributed. You have a few really good players, a lot of solid players who stay active and don't usually make big mistakes, and a moderate but not overwhelming number of players who aren't so great. I think the nature of most games being outside contact helps make the community a lot more social when a game is going on, since the social discussion aspect is a pretty integral part of the game. In our NOC games, the skill level is a lot lower but people who play in them generally are experienced with dealing with liars in OC games, so they aren't too terrible at adjusting.

I think the atmosphere is best described by laid back with moments of high intensity. OC tends to revolve a lot more over the planning of night actions and the deliberation over info given rather than analyzing the discussion itself, so activity and intensity tends to spike at critical lynches or on important nights when trying to negotiate with another team, etc

Because I enjoy pain and suffering, clearly

Conquest lv 22 right now; havent played in a few days though (the game feels trivial at this point on normal) so I should get back into it so I can finish and do a lunatic run, which I hear is pretty brutal lol.

cool cool, I might play there sometime. Been getting into Fates a bit recently so seems only appropriate, right?

Hi! Yeah, Paperblade and I have played together a good bit on Smogon. Was hoping I'd get to play with a few people I recognized lol. Where do you know Pblade from?

Can I ask who you are on bulba?
