As Dak once said;
The last thing you probably NEED is boldness. You can feel unsure and wishy washy IRL, but NEVER write it in your text. That's the #1 benefit to a text game: you can edit out the weakness in your posts. When you're reading and thinking things out, you can ponder and second guess yourself (yes, even some WIFOM) all you want. Once you go to post, though, silence all of that and go for the throat!Last thing: stop caring about your own scumtells. Stop worrying about how YOU look to others. The TRUE secret to being a townie is the most funniest of secrets: Townies fling scumtells and don't care that they throw it. They don't care how scummy they look or even if a mountain of votes fall on them. If you think someone is scummy but they have 3 votes on them and everyone's already said everything you wanted to say then say it anyway and vote. Yes.. you bandwagoned. Yes, you said what someone else has said. If your finding that people are flinging scumtells left and right and it makes you want to vote for this person, then another, then another.. and it makes you change your vote every other post.. do it. Yes, you flip flopped. Yes you're being wishy washy.A GOOD town will see your scumtells, attack you for it, then find out WHY you did it: you are after scum and it just how it worked out. Then a GOOD town will leave you alone.Bad townies and scum will try to lynch you ONLY on the tells themselves. "Yes, you have a good reason, but you still bandwagoned/flipflopped." If they are a bad townie, they'll just look like a tunnelvisioner and be ignored. If they are scum, they'll realize they made a mistake and panic, thus proving themselves scum. If you get lynched for it.. then..well.. so be it. Townies die every day.
Sorry about the lack of spacing-Wired Marker doesn't like spacing.
