Ok, just so I'm 100% clear. If I have a chip in my role pm called Randomchipofawesomeness and I wanted to use it, first I would post "SCAN RANDOMCHIPOFAWESOMENESS" to activate it and then, once it's scanned, I'd post "SLOT-IN RANDOMCHIPOFAWESOMENESS" and to make it work?

You have RandomChip1, RandomChip2, RandomChip500, and RandomChipofAwesomeness. You can Scan for one of the first three (I am unsure if this is randomized or you get to pick - asking Kira) and Swap/Snatch as you wish up to THREE times a day, OR you can Self Scan for the RandomChipofAwesomeness (but you can only do this once per day).

Then, during either day/night, you can Slot In RandomChip1 RandomChip2 etc. to use all your powers as you see fit.

I -think- and you should double check with Kira, the scan is sent to her in a PM. SLOTIN RANDOMCHIPOFAWESOME would be posted.

Would be good if Kira clarified things a lot more.

I'm gonna do it. I just had to rush of to work once I started up the thread. Look on the first and second post to be editted soon.

EDIT: Okay, any questions I missed or didn't clarify enough?

OK, so yeah, I misunderstood some of that. Thanks for the clarification!

Glad things got cleared up. Don't hesitate to ask questions. The chip system may be new, but I think it can be pretty fun.

random Vote: Shaddus and there is a good chance I'll take it right off once he posts. I usually just start off with a random vote.

I think I will random Vote: Neos.

If one whats logic, I shall use as above in that he hasn't posted yet.

Is it possible to pass on voting? If so I'd like to do that.

Why pass voting on the first day?

Just to see how people use their powers overnight and who shows up dead. And I can't bring myself to vote for anyone without reason. . .

Except not voting on day one is a scum tactic. A well known one. And you've played past games, right? I thought you had. Vote:Shou

I'm new to this.

Vote: Shaddus

Cut off the head and the body will follow.

Double

Shulamit has, but I don't know that Shou has. Of course, we've had so many games that I could easily have missed it.

Here is a good resource for newbie mafia stuff.

I haven't played since ... Myrkr's psych game, I think, but I can't remember anything about scum not voting on the first day. Can you bring up any support for that? In fact, the general scum tell (or just bad playing tell) is bandwagoning for a quicklynch, or trying to distract people from voting for their own teammembers, not not voting at all.

It's possible to target multiple people?

One of the basic mafia rules on these forums is "don't edit posts". Not even for a double, or a typo, or anything like that.

Although we haven't got a formal list of rules for this one. Is that just an oversight, or are we assumed to be familiar with them?

Yes we do. look at the first post.

Aha! Those were edited in - naughty Kiradawea for changing her own posts. Thanks!
