You just aren't cut out to play mafia from what I see around the forums. My opinion needn't stop you from playing in a game where someone else decides the participation.

When I have a problem with someone I let them know unless it's too annoying to get into contact with them.

Well, it was apparent from the QT you had a problem with me, so if you wanted to tell me, you could have. Seriously, if I'm causing any troubles without realizing it, just let me know and I'll stop.

Aria is one of my roleplaying nicks and Kilga is clearly talking to me in that post <.<

Seriously, again, if I'm causing a problem just tell me and I'll stop. Out of everyone in the game, you seemed like the one trying to calm me the most down, but apparently you were fed up with me too. I don't know what to say about that.

You just aren't cut out to play mafia from what I see around the forums. My opinion needn't stop you from playing in a game where someone else decides the participation.

But your opinion can influence others to make that decision not to let me in. I can handle mafia, I just got upset at little things like how the intro to the game said there might be bastard elements, and how I was getting mad at the post restrictions and everything like that. I'll be better next game.
And in general, again, if I'm causing a problem, please, don't hesitate to tell me privately or something. I get the feeling you guys all thought that if you did tell me to stop, I'd just get mad at that too, and guess what? I won't. It's one thing to tell someone they're annoying and need to stop to their face, but it's an entirely different thing to just say it behind their back.

Well, it was apparent from the QT you had a problem with me, so if you wanted to tell me, you could have. Seriously, if I'm causing any troubles without realizing it, just let me know and I'll stop.
I think you're reading too deeply into my actions, as everyone tends to do.
My only mention of you in the QT was that I thought you liked to whine a lot.
It's not something that I care enough about to make mention of to the person, unless it's someone I speak with on a regular basis, so why would I bother talking about it?

Also, there's no need to take any of the quips we make too seriously.
Since we're a small group, we all tend to be quite familiar with each other and like to make jokes at each other's expense that would likely be considered to be distasteful.
Of course, I'm someone that makes distasteful comments regardless of the context, but that's something else entirely.
Pesco's mention that you don't seem fit for mafia was due to your overreaction in Ammy's psychoanalysis thread a while back.
Mafia is a game that requires you to have thick skin considering our playerbase, and your response to the analysis thread showed that you likely lacked the ability to properly deal with jokes made at your own expense.

For example, in your latest post in this thread, you accuse Shadoweh of being the most fed up with you from a single quote but this isn't the case at all.
Shadoweh, like many others that play mafia, loves to exaggerate and poke fun at others. It's what we do.
After all, we're a group of people that play a game based around slandering everyone and everything that isn't yourself.

At the end of the day we don't harbour grudges, after all it's just a game, or take anything that anyone else says about us too seriously, it's not like we actually dislike each other.

Since the above probably doesn't really make much sense, allow me to recap by addressing what I think I see wrong with your play.

Firstly, inexperience, this is perfectly natural. It's much harder to read the intentions of the people in the game if you're unfamiliar with them.
In addition to this, it's harder to analyse the plays that people are making if you haven't seen many similar situations.

Secondly, to compound onto the inexperience, I think that you lack confidence.
Again, perfectly understandable considering you're stepping into a group of players that have been playing with each other for a very long time and have their own meta-analysis of the players to go off.
It's easy to get led astray, but you need to believe in yourself more.
Just stick with what you think is right, even if everyone else disagrees.
Having a genuine thought process is so much more valuable than sheeping something.
At first, you'll be wrong. You'll be wrong a lot. In fact, you should be surprised if you manage to catch scum and assume that it was probably due to luck.
Personally, I'm still very surprised when I actually manage to be sitting on a scum wagon.
However, if you continue to think every game you're in. If you continue to form your own opinions while you're gathering more and more information about how the game is played and what players might be trying to do in a certain way, eventually you might be able correctly identify scum every once in a while.
Yes, this does take a lot of time and effort, but that's what you're signing up for when you play mafia.

Thirdly, I think that you're too easily aggravated by the various antics that we employ.
Yes, we say a lot of things that would undermine the confidence of any newcomer.
Yes, we like to make jokes at other people's expense.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to learn to suck it up.
If you happen to get offended by every little thing that someone says or does, you're not going to last very long here or in relationships with people in general.

tl;dr: Dormio is sleep deprived and doesn't want to do any work right now and is going to regret it in a couple of hours.

EDIT: Also, these are words coming from a complete noob so they're probably all wrong but whatever.

  • Here I am, dirty and faceless

tl;dr
I agree with Dormio
Spoiler:
, or at least what I read of him.

My read on you is that you're too high-strung and easily agitated. You gotta chillax, man. Mafia is a game of accusations, lying, and jerks angrily yelling past each other passionate debate. It's emotionally and mentally taxing, so you have to be ready to handle that if you want to play and have fun. Having fun is important. It is a game, after all.

As far as I could tell, no one's accused you of causing any problems. After all, you did post fairly actively and didn't flake out halfway through the game  (or claim scum as town or post your role pm in the thread or play like a jester when you're a vt etc. ), which is more than some other would-be players can claim. What's holding you back is inexperience (which can be rectified with time) and the way you seem to overreact to things that aren't worth overreacting to (case in point: the past few posts).

SECOND EDIT: Ah, I'm being stupid. I deserved all the insults.

Not everyone is out to get you!  As far as I can tell, although people may have been blunt, no one has intended to insult you. Life becomes a lot more fun when you learn how to take a joke here and there. We're actually a pretty friendly bunch, if a bit callous at times. :3

Okay, helpful words are helpful. Thank you for the advice. You're right, I am really high-strung, so I bring that with me when I come here. It's not that I want to be annoying or high-strung or anything like that, but there's not a whole lot I can do about it except try to shut up when I'm annoyed. Also...

That doesn't sound like a correct conclusion.

If something annoys you, be sure to let the annoyance's source know all about it. It's more about when to be annoyed and when not to be annoyed.

If you're annoyed when someone pokes at you for fun, sure thing, that'll change. If you happen to be annoyed by someone you're arguing with in the middle of a game... there isn't anything to be done about that. I think that's what Pesco and co. are talking about but I think you've been fine in Rewrite.

That's the only thing I've been worried about. Also, yeah, dumb phrasing is dumb and I wasn't intending on writing it that way (more like, "I can't do much to change being high-strung").

Take two pills and avoid the catgirls and you'll be on your way to a Nekoless diet. Dormio knows me too well, I wasn't fed up with you at all. I think you're funny and have alot of energy without being terrible with it, you just need to loosen up. I don't think any of us are shy about saying how we really feel >.> Even if we're playing a murder game no one is out to get you personally.

Unless you're Dormio, in which case you must be lynched without mercy to make the posting style stop.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about that game because I wasn't paying much attention to it when I was playing.
Though I do remember feeding Dan a crayon and it making everything worth it, even if he vigged me in response.

Unlimited dayvig would be broken-my first post would be shooting everyone else in the game.

Serela's idea that if I'm not scum I SHOULD KILL EVERYONE FOR VICTORY is the best idea ever  :V :derp: ::)

Yet, we know that if Serela had unlimited Dayvig he would end up shooting nothing but townies, put town at Lylo, and then shoot anther townie and lose the game :V

Once again proving that Murdering everybody except for yourself is somehow not a valid winning strategy.

It's not. Unless you're a 3rd party.

You either:

- Lose on the Mexican standoff or win before you get it [Town]
- Win before the Mexican standoff happens [Scums]

Also, who can I submit draft setups to? I know I'm down the list but I have free time and would like to draft some setups for Urist Mafia.

Just ask anyone you think would be able to balance a setup and see if they'll be willing to give your setup a look.

But I don't know who that is....

Except maybe Pesco. But Pesco's generally quite busy.

That's why I'm asking who you guys usually ask for setup reviews. Especially since that person obviously can't play.

Although whoever ends up reviewing the setup can be my co-mod I guess.

Yeah that Dormio is such a douchebag am I right! Hah hah hah...
