I still do some really stupid stuff occasionally though
The Smiley face, coupled with the 'don't trust what I do, because I could be stupid' rings so many wrong bells for me CrownofFire. Explain what this is for a response, and what you intended to get from a line like that.
First of all, this is only my second game of forum Mafia, so obviously I'm not going to be perfect in any way. All I'm trying to say that while "newbie-tells" are less likely to happen with me, they're still going to happen.
Second, putting suspicion on me for "using a smiley" is a bullshit reason.
Doing things like that makes you seem dodgy and aloof. The reason for the stupid stuff part is valid, but frankly when someone uses smiley faces in a game like this it makes them seem to be drawing merit away from their statements by making the reader feel as if they are just joking about what they are saying.
Well of course I'm just joking. There's no need to be 100% serious all the time. Especially the first day when everybody's just randomly throwing around votes anyway. I mean, I'm serious about the statement itself, but the manner in which I say it is jokingly.
Also while I'm here, Unvote Jokerman, your answer is satisfactory enough for now.
So someone attempting to take on a joking attitude isn't wrong or scummy at all to you?
Depends on the context, but generally no. It's less of a scumtell than many other things to me. Scum need to focus more, so their mood tends to be heavier than town.
Also, that first part about jakeread1/Max White is suspicious, for reasons Max White has already stated. You likely already knew that he was
knew new, and frankly, it's rather obvious even if you didn't.
