I claim neutral good moderator stealer
I claim Psychopathic Moderator
Aditionally:
- If you know no one, try to see how each one plays. Specifically, who is weak and who is being strong/leading.
- If nothing is happening make something happen. Go ISO someone, think on the current votecount, pessure some lurker or devil’s advocate an opinion.
- Don’t ignore anyone. Don’t let yourself be ignored.
- You are the only person you know for sure to be townie at most games. You are the only proven townie for yourself.
- Make a sheet for reads, it helps PoE wonders.

Mafia Innocent Child
I guess it depends heavily if you come from ToL and have never played FM before, or if you come from other sites. I don’t really think it is required to learn the terminology if you’re playing FoL here, at least from my experience.
No bastard
I think, what you really need as completely FoL Newbie, is:
- Bring a lot of time, prepare yourself to read a lot. Make yourself notes, write down every claim and softclaim you are able to spot. Reading is king.
- If you don’t understand something, ask. If it’s something mechanical, ask your host.
- Talk, don’t be shy. Give the others the chance to read you as BD.
- Try to not go off-topic or meme too much, this will only make the thread less readable, and that’s bad for BD. Don’t make the life of your fellows harder.
- Make your own decisions, try to make your own reads. Sometimes it’s better to listen to the majority, but remember, it’s your game, do what you think it’s right.
- If you realize you’re emotions are going out of control and you are raging, step back from the PC for a while. It’s not fun for anyone, when you insult others.
You say this in jest but if everyone townreads you as scum it’s a good path to victory.
Who does that
I have a very particular taste in moderators
If not lazy me. If lazy I go off memory.
That’s even standard in ToL . . .
Because It’s much more fast phased
Don’t tell me you’re writing essay
I disagree with one thing: If people are flaming you, it’s totally acceptable to step back for a while, noone can expect from you that you are deliberately read and answer to that shit.
It depends on the flaming/issues.
For example when Geyde was doing some things I wasn’t particularly fond of in a recent game me stepping back wasn’t an option for two reasons:
-
No other scum was posting at that time. A game with no scum posting isn’t fair for town.
-
Me responding with a replace out would have made that fight alignment indicative/noticed
Backing away may not always be an option however not feeding the fire is.
