this is directed mainly at the new players
we love new players - we were all new players at one time
the main thing that most of us dislike is inactivity. Most of the roles assigned are fairly critical to the flow of the game and roles/characters are included knowing that somewhere along the line most of them will die during the game and become non-influential. But, if too many players decide to quit the game or just forget to participate = it hurts the progression of the game and harms your teammates. = yes this is a team or team building game.
The inactivity that is frowned upon the most is total abandonment of the game, not using your abilities to help your team win, not voting during the lynch phase, not posting in the chat occasionally, not responding to PMs.
you should plan to check in at least once a day to read the forum posts and your PMs for a minimum of 15 minutes and to cast your lynch votes. Some of us (like me) will check in every waking hour to see what is being said and then respond to most every comment. There will be much useless babble to sort through but also useful insights to help you know who your enemies and friends might be. There will be many distracting and false comments posted to try and lead you astray.
i say none of this to discourage you but to help prepare you. Once you play, you may be hooked. Most of us here look forward to these mafia games and get more involved with these than the risk games or tournaments we are in on this site. It can be additive. you will also likely get many more invites to play risk from other players here that you meet.
Have fun
