KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

The young apprentice asked his mentor "Master, how long does it take to reach enlightenment?"
The wise master stared back at his pupil. His face unmoving.
For seven days he stared, completely still but for the movement of his chest with each breath.
And the student tried his best to stare right back as the days passed. But his mind was not still, and so neither was his body.
Finally, the master spoke. "Well, have you reached enlightenment?"
The young apprentice, ever obedient, thought very carefully about his answer. "No master."
"Then it will take longer than that."

I believe a role PM would be suitable, Mr. Tribble #1,771,561?
Now, now, no hinting at how many tribbles are in the game. I thought we agreed to play fair, after all. If they know how many tribbles are present, they may be able to determine how many kzinti there are. That would present certain unfair advantages to our female participants, going by our canonical historical evidence.

Would also like a mentor, as we all know I'm terribad at this game.

9/19 in after two weeks. Any of you replace or spectate signups want to convert to /ins?
As we're discussing in the Council thread, I might settle in for a long wait as there are two large games ongoing at the moment (one of which is still on D1).
2011: Best Mafia Performance (Individual) - Best Newcomer
2012: Best (False?) Role Claim - Worst Town Performance (Group) - Best Mafia Performance (Group) - Best SK Performance - Best Overall Player
2013: Best Non-SK Neutral Performance
2014: Best Town Performance (Individual) - Best Town Performance (Group) - Most Interesting Role - Best Game - Best Overall Player
2015: Worst Mafia Performance (Group) - Best Read
2016: Best Town Performance (Group) - Best Town Player - Best Overall Player

I'll find out soon if I can /in, atleast by the end of the month. Hopefully next week like my recruiters predict. I'd also like a mentor for the lulgiggles/realz and a bit for theorizing ideas for roles in future games.
I would really love to have a mentor, but this time frame doesn't work for me right now (also, love Star Trek, sooooo bummed by the timing here). If you're still accepting in a week or two, I'm definitely interested.

Why not?

No games here, 1 off site.
Complexity in the Myriad Universes series is very high, both in terms of flavor immersion and Mafia mechanic innovation. The first three games have had several innovative roles and mechanics each (at least one of which as designed required forum mod privileges to implement) & I'd recommend reading at least one of the games to get a feel for how I develop setups.

@Annorax could you give me an idea of some of those innovative things so I have an idea what to look out for in terms of what's possible? What roles have existed in past forms which wouldn't exist in say, a normal?
Well, last game had amongst others a SK role that removed players (and their posts) from the game. (And they didn't get to choose who they killed. They chose a number and after that many posts had occured since the day began, the last player to post was killed.)

I probably won't even open the spec QT until mid-August, but at least it'll be a fun read by then.
