My own:
I believe that the Tips and Tricks thread should include the basics of scum hunting and how to do it.
EX: Lying about the setup/Mechanics; Claiming an impossible role; Etc.

In my personal opinion, you can't really teach someone how to play mafia since there are an infinite number of scenarios that you are presented with. The best way is just to throw yourself into the mix, study the rolecards and rolelist, and always try to be one step ahead of your opponent (wifom).

This was made in regards to Halo, but it is the same concept:

TL;DR 2 basic things you should be thinking of when going into a game:
One, your primary goal, is to win. Everything you do in the game should be geared towards winning. If you are going to do something that can possibly lead to being a bad decision, don't do it.
Two, your secondary goal, is the desire to improve. Learn from your experience, learn from past games, utilize the Veterans to learn more about the game.

If you wanted to add anything, the best thing to add would be a list of differences between SC2Mafia and forum mafia. For instance, player language tells a lot. Sheeping is much more rare. Longer days are beneficial, etc.
