Semi-experienced

"Semi-experienced" has a couple of definitions:

• Formally, it is used as a distinction in Newbie games for a player between Newbie and Inexperience Challenged (i.e. Experienced), for players with two finished games on mafiascum.net.
  • SE players in Newbie games may play as many games as they feel that they can handle, either "from scratch" or as a replacement. Of course, taking on too many games and replacing out of them may lead to a ban from playing in the Newbie queue.
  • The SE position was created so that players who didn't qualify for IC status (or didn't want to IC at all) could still play in a Newbie game. Prior to the creation of the SE, there were only Newer Player and IC spots. So anyone who didn't qualify as an IC was forced to take up a Newer Player spot. This caused Newbie games to start faster than they normally would, and used up Mods and ICs at a faster rate. The addition of the SE prevents the Newbie games from starting too quickly.
  • SEs may feel free to answer questions from the Newer players, but the SE position is not considered a "teaching" position like the IC position. The SE position is simply there to make the Queue run smoother.

• Informally, anyone who feels themself to no longer be a "noob" but are not yet confident enough in their abilities, may consider themself semi-experienced.
