Swerve Wrote:Every post you've made so far is seemingly strategic, has a reason, and has a slant. I became suspicious of you after post #161. In the Angry Dome it was mentioned that active players have a chance of being manipulated without anyone noticing. I was always self-conscious of such a possibility. I got an even worse vibe when you told me to stop when I started questioning Jon. I wasn't really doing anything new, at D2 information has been provided and Jon quickly drew suspicion. I wanted to clear him of that suspicion so I pressured him with vote-cornering. I think that Jon is a townie, but I speculated that he wasn't just to weigh in on the participation of other users. I haven't really changed my style, I'm just using different tools to find information that I need. It is funny that you were the only one who was upset by me pressuring Jon and told me to stop it. Again you've masked it very well because you're very smart. But that is precisely why you are a dangerous threat to town and I think that you are scum. You don't overdo it. You seemingly play it off. And you say just the right amount of things without going overboard. I may still be hesitating to go for a lynch this round. But you really rub me off the wrong way.-Rubs Swerve the right way- <3
Post 161...161...That's another thing, instead of saying "Post XXX," it'd be a whole lot easier just to quote the post in your own post since you obviously already know what post it is. >.>
I'm not really sure what made you suspicious of me from post 161. Just some basic replies from people replying to posts I made, and a comment on Mute's mistake in the vote count. And then a comment on my reads so far. Your thorough involvement in the game made you a very likely townie, while Meta's scumminess (for reasons very similar to Darkmaniak's, might I add), made him a likely scum. That's one of the things I partially hinted at in the post I made at you. It's much better to comment on your reads instead of questioning people incessantly.
Don't be self-conscious. Being self-conscious will only cause you to hide behind the possibilities, the "what ifs" of the game. You'll force yourself into terrible WIFOMs and question yourself in situations where you need not question yourself. You need to be strong in a mafia game.
It wasn't necessarily Jon that I told you to stop questioning. As I had read back I noticed that you had questioned almost everyone that had posted. Quite frankly, it got on my nerves, especially seeing you double/triple post questions that had answers that were quite obvious. As I said, it's much more beneficial to infer meanings instead of questioning. I'm not trying to manipulate you here (...that sounds terrible, I know.), I'm trying to teach people some good habitual practices to get into.
Quite frankly, I didn't believe Jon was going to draw any sort of attention. I barely noticed him post at all. I thought that it was Corn who bandwagoned the vote on Darkmaniak after I voted him at the start of this day. And I don't read the dead/offtopic thread because I find it meaningless.
I'm sorry if I appear to "say the right amount of things," but that's how I like to play. I like to have fun with these games. I like to add snippy little comments to the beginnings/ends of my posts, I like to and flare, to add flavor. It's just how I play. :/
