Is Big G an acceptable nickname?

Full disclosure: mcmcsalot is my IRL younger brother. Like me, he's a vet who has recently returned to playing.

I should totally get my brother involved...

PPE: 1

I find excessive PPE-ing to be scummy. It means you're spending a lot of time thinking about your post and how it will be interpreted.

Vote: IDP

What do you mean by "excessive"?

Genuinely you would say "PPE: 1" in order to note that you hadn't read a subsequent post: this is essentially a disclaimer that they content you are providing isn't up to date and does not into consideration whatever post you had missed. But it wasn't really necessary in the case you used it, it's not like a subsequent post could make the non-game observation "I should get my brother involved" obsolete.

Vote: Big G

The irony of this is that both of the gs in my name are small...

Wait so big G is gkrieg and Jake is JaketheBaseballGod, I assumed big G was a joke about the God part.

Oh man, this is so confusing already.
Vote: JTBG

[Joseph2302]

I'm sure JTBG is scum again. Just like he was last time we played....

[Awaclus]

I still don't get why it's so difficult for people to type gkrieg that you need a nickname for him. It's just g and then krieg, just like in blitzkrieg.

[Robz888]

I think we mostly call Jakethebaseballgod just "Jake."

IDP is what we used in the last game with him.

The Wine Merchant is a newbie so that's still up in the air.

Agree with this.

[Robz888]

Wine Merchant, may I ask, what is your familiarity level with mafia the game?

[Calamitas]

Also vote: TWM

Is that a valid abbreviation?

Sure. It is what I use in the quicktopics.

which quicktopics?

[The_Wine_Merchant]

Ugh...idp, twm, big g...if we could at least use names or words I'll be able to make a character in my head and remember people.

Yeah. I am not loving all the acronyms. I can remember my own, but the others are hard, especially since everyone is newish to me. Maybe just Wine would be better for me?

[The_Wine_Merchant]

Wine Merchant, may I ask, what is your familiarity level with mafia the game?

I haven't done an online game before, but I have played a lot in person, so I understand the principles and the mechanics. I followed RMM39 and am following M90. And I have read/skimmed probably about half a dozen historical games on this site.

which quicktopics?

The two spectator ones I am in (RMM39 and M70) and the one I confirmed in for this game

[IDontPlayThisGame]

Got an error while trying to quote, so:

@Robz- Ah, okay. My understanding was that you put it at the end of any post if something was posted between the time you started writing your post and when you posted it, regardless of whether it affects what you were writing.

Now I got it, read it a bit differently the first time. All fine then

Here is a list of acronyms I can think of:
TWM or Whine - The_Wine_Merchant
MCG or a variety of insulting variations - McGarnacle
Big G - gkrieg
Jake or JTBG - JakethebaseballGod22
Calm - Calamitas
IDPTG - IDon'tPlayThisGame

McGladwrap was my favorite

I much prefer "Cala" to "Calm", "Calm" throws me off guard every single time

[gkrieg13]

I think I always type out Calamitas and McGarnacle.

I think TWM is pretty easy to understand.

gkrieg isn't hard to spell or long enough to not type.  Big G is actually harder in my opinion (I don't really like capital letters)

Jake should be easy enough to understand and IDPTG is pretty easy as well

[JaketheBaseballGod22]

Is Big G an acceptable nickname?

It shouldn't be, given that I can't even tell who it's referring to.

Also, note, we have two "Mc"s in this game: McGarnacle and mcmcsalot. Full disclosure: mcmcsalot is my IRL younger brother. Like me, he's a vet who has recently returned to playing.

I explain who it is every game and still I have to do it..uhhh Big G aka gkrieg13 and the name is because Big G is a mod so imporant aka Big and his name starts with G

Also, mcmc or mom salon - mcmcsalot (although I don't think anyone uses mom salon in practice anymore)

Can I call you Awa?

[JaketheBaseballGod22]

I'm sure JTBG is scum again. Just like he was last time we played....

And this insane prejudice is why I get lynched D-1 every game.

[JaketheBaseballGod22]

Also I've been town my last 4 games so what are you talking about

[Roadrunner7671]

variety of insulting variations

I didn't realize you were insulted!

[McGarnacle]

variety of insulting variations

I didn't realize you were insulted!

nah, I'm just kidding. I don't mind

[The_Wine_Merchant]

So what are the most important things I should know coming into playing a game as a new player? Is it more important to make sure everyone else knows I am a town player or is it to try and find out who are the mafia players?
