General
yawetag /yô-ĕ-tăg/ joined Mafia Scum on December 1, 2008. Many people thought (and still think) yawetag is an alt of Yaw; nothing could be further from the truth. In April, 2009, he took an extended leave of absence from the game, and returned in December, 2009.
I enjoy keeping up with the Wiki. I will look at new pages by other users and make style changes as needed to make the page look nicer. I also love to revert changes through spam. On February 28, 2010, I was promoted to a SysOp on the wiki.
About yawetag
I am 30-years-old. I live in a suburb north of St. Louis, Missouri. I work in Surveillance at a casino. When I'm not working or playing Mafia, I enjoy Geocaching and umpiring baseball and softball. I also enjoy playing classic RPGs that require mapping on graph paper (Bard's Tale, especially). I have been married since March, 2002, and have a three-year-old son, Sage, and a newborn daughter, Brenna.
yawetag is "gateway" written backwards. Many people where I live think it's because of the Gateway Arch, but in reality, I started using the name in 1996. When I had to come up with a handle for a local BBS, I looked at my (new) Gateway 2000 computer and reversed Gateway. Small fact: After registering yawetag.net many years ago, I took gateway.net's front page and reversed it. It remained that way for months until I put real content on it.
Playing
I started the site playing Mafia games, but quickly began playing games in Mish Mash. After a few games of Mafia, I stopped joining games and focused more time on Mish Mash. When I returned to the site in December, I began playing Mafia games again.
Mafia Game Stats

Due to some lurking scum, town won this one a bit easier than I think we should have. The Masons did well as a team, leading the town to lynch their intended target. I was replaced out during N3 due to a chat outside the forums about the game. The information was from an already-dead player telling me a role of another player. I notified Papa Zito, who had me replaced from the game.

My role required that I be the only one standing with the sheriff alive. That would have been impossible. The non-standard setup of the game (no nights; multiple shots per player; use of cards as defense) was a great way to play, but made it a little difficult for me to really get into as a Mafia game. I played it too much like a Mish Mash game, which was my downfall. To be honest, I was surprised I lasted so long.

Winner

| To be fair, I only won the game because the Moderator didn't update the game. Players went /out, while others didn't post in the time span mandated by the rules. When I realized this, I posted within the time span, making me the only player active. As of 02/12/10, the game hasn't even been updated to show my win.

A lot of fun. A bunch of dice rolls, but some strategy as well. I almost lost it in the last round, but was able to scrape out a silver. See.

Pretty basic game with very little strategy. It was all luck to make it to the Finals, but my luck ran out against nessarae56.

Moderating
I enjoy moderating in the Mish_Mash forum. I attempt to moderate games that haven't been played before. I find games that are freely available online and adjust them to work forum-based. I feel I've done a great job in doing so, and have brought some fun games to the site in the process. I will moderate up to four games at a time. Most games take 5-10 minutes to update daily, so this requires approximately an hour of work. The work isn't tedious, but you have to ensure it's accurate.
I've added a twist to the sign-up process to all of my games. Instead of taking the first number of people that /in, I give 48 hours for all players to /in that are interested. At the end of the 48 hours, I use random.org to randomize the list. I then take the list and pick the top people equal to the number of players needed. I feel this makes the sign-up process more fair to players that aren't able to be on as frequently as other players.
At the end of a game I'm moderating, I set up a survey that the participants may fill out. This will give me information on how well they liked the game and my moderating. I use this information to determine whether or not to return a game in the future and, if I do, how to change it to make it more enjoyable for the participants.
I began moderating an Open Mafia game, but abandoned the game when I left the site in April, 2009.
