the silliest of thoughts i can out upon the thread is that on mafiascum, there was a newbie queue...queues intended for newbies at the game of werewolf
and throughout my journey playing with newbies, someone compiled data on newbie wolves tells, since they work so well at the beginning
the research showed that newbie scums are, on average, >rand to begin their first post of the game by greeting everyone, such like devil has done
now i hate tells and don't really apply them but keep that in mind. i also don't wanna lunch the new player in a dead site and make him think werewolf isn't fun, we need playas
