This being my first game ever, I simply cannot think of what questions to ask, and what I could learn from my answers. Thats why I was letting others do the questioning for me. . . .this really is infuriating, not really being able to play well. I will do my best, however.
This sounds like preemptive defensiveness to me. You talk yourself down and sound nervous while doing it. Also about not being to play very well... it is called a beginner's game for a reason, and it's just an excuse.
@bdthemag: then perhaps its just your volatile personality in general thats showing in your posts. I just think that your working a bit too hard to make your self look townie.
This is simply you getting pushed back and then saying 'Ok I'm Wrong about you don't hurt me!' If you think he's working too hard to look townie then push him harder, don't fold at a rebuttal. Try to actually push him back with an accusation or argument, this just makes you look scummy to me.
Billy bob is also putting up a good defense, but for all I know, he could still be scum. I trust nobody.
This is a backhanded compliment, along with another preemptive defensive point. It seems you are trying to buddy him while covering your ass by saying, well I still don't trust him!
@vector: either you just have a very anal personality, or your scum. . .wanting us to vote this early, trying to get us all to put pressure on each other. . . .suspicious, hmmm, vector?
Well that's just rude, arrogant, and written very nervously. Also mafia is about putting pressure on people, if you don't enjoy that this really is not the game for you.
@vector: Well, I guess youve been playing longer than me. . . .I have no idea what questions to ask. . . .
Now she is an IC and did give a good rebuttal, but you seriously fold on your suspicions like that, and talk yourself down again?
I keep clarifying as every body keeps taking my questions and answers the wrong way. So I give a answer that seems suspicious because its being taken the wrong way, then I try to clarify and you say thats scummy. See, here I go again, trying to explain my self. @simple: thanks for pointing out my passive agressivness, I guess that I should be more direct, so @bdthemag: I think you are scum. You seem to be extremely hostile towards every body, and that makes me feel that your trying to make people lose their cool, to piss them off. I find that a bit suspiscious. I can see a good scumhunting technique in that, but your a bit too aggresive.
There's a line between defending your arguments and words, and being so defensive as to become scummy. This post crossed the line, well the first three sentences at least.
@owl: I think that my wording and/or grammer is a bit off some times, causing mis reads of my answers/questions. And it really is making me angry. Imagine learning how to swim, whilst a teacher tosses you into the pool and a more experienced swimmer tries to dunk you. Thats how I feel right now. I feel that the three votes against me are because of poor wording in my posts, causing suspicion. Combine that with my newness to mafia games, and I guess I have a kick me sign on my back. Nothing can help that but experience though, correct?
Again with the angry at yourself, and talking yourself down. Also with the over-explaining yourself, that is yet again defensiveness to the point of scummy.
jc6036@simple: to answer your question, I believe that two of the votes on me are just pressure votes that were never removed, and I think that bd voted for me as a rebuttal against my attacks on him. Thats not going to stop my attacks, however, and I will reveal bds true intentions soon enough. I find it suspicious how he asks barely any questions at all, and shoots down others by calling them "stupid" or "WIFOM" whilst barely giving good answers.
Now that vote comes off when you tell me why you truly believe that two votes on you are pressure, and when you make good on your promise to reveal BDthemag's true intentions. Frankly your attacks seem very half-hearted so far.
