Ok, I have caught up (though by the time I finish typing this there will be 8 million new posts.) In no particular order:
I am fine with the quicktopic.
I have never played forum Mafia, only IRL at parties and things. I have been following MII and MIII pretty religiously though, and had a blast as an observer, trying to predict who might turn up scum.
What else do people want to know? My RL occupation is currently waiting tables because I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My undergrad major was playwriting. I write a lot of plays, short stories and poetry and am engaged in submitting all of these things to contests and journals.
Jo and I are acquainted in real life, but we live in different cities.
So far no one is sticking out to me as particularly suspicious. I'm almost certain Jo's scum claim was facetious, and hell, I might have done the same thing given the setup. O's playstyle seems similar enough to his MIII play that it gives me no useful information. Pops does seem to be being unhelpful and belligerent, but that doesn't really read as scum to me, since I feel like scum would want people to like them.
Green Opal: I assume you have no real suspicion that I am scum, since at the time of your post you had literally nothing to base suspicion on. If you just voted to drag me out of the woodwork, then congratulations - you've succeeded.
I'll be on for an hour or so yet, so you'll probably hear more from me soon.
