Hello! I am a newbie to this game but would like to receive some help from the forums from people that have been here a while.

I love the mafia aesthetic that this game gives and people have been so helpful which is why I hope to stay here for a longer while instead of just in passing.

Hello! Welcome to our happy little home away from home. As someone who's been around a wee bit, it's nice to see new people find us. 

I started off with the mindset that I'd only be around a bit to help a friend out... That was a long time ago. The game is quite addicting, I attribute that to our amazing community and all of the personalities that are a part of it. Sure, the clicking keeps you busy while watching mudskipper and cat videos on YouTube, but it's the people that you end up meeting that really brings the game to life.

I hope you get bitten by the bug as I and many others did. 

Nice to see you here looking for more info. Here's a good start, written by the developer, Squishy:

The longer you stick around, the more you learn. My advice: Find people you like. Work hard for them and they'll work hard for you. Best of luck!

There have been a lot of interesting people so far and I sincerely hope to continue playing for a long while. The community is actually legitimately interesting and maybe soon I could be able to join the RP forums.

To be honest though I haven't really delved into 1930s RP but will hopefully be able to enjoy soon.

Hey Razor, what helps me get into character is re-watching films like Godfather and Goodfellas. Really puts you in the mood or sparks the idea of how your character to act. It doesn't always stick as it's difficult in the digital age to maintain character 100% of the time, but that essence of being in the 1930's is easily captured by both members of the community and the mechanics available to us in the game.

However you decide to play though, I hope you end up sticking around!

Hey razor, truly an awsome game this and your doing fine so far, good work bro
