Bookwyrm627: Apparently I'll be trying to catch fish. So...however you interpret that. :)

GameRager: Will you be imaging the fish to be scum, then? o.0

:D
It's an idea. I'll probably be busy fishing five year olds out of the water, though.

GameRager: But didn't you know...vacations aren't for going off and having fun...they're for working even more to amass more money and stuff and also playing online and offline.

(And also vegging on the couch a bit)
I see someone has it right :D
Put me in as sub for now. I can sub in if you need someone who won't be able to be very active.

Are you playing, man??

agentcarr16: Are you playing, man??
I'd love to but the past game showed me that things are too hectic right now it's a bit too much to try and handle both RL engagements and playing in a decent manner. I think I'll sit this one out.
don't get me wrong, I want to play, I just don't know if i can, what with IRL and stuff.

I am mulling it over......if I get another power role and mess it up for my side they'll likely want to lynch me irl. o.0

nah, we'd never do that. worst we could do is look at you sadly. which will happen to anyone.

Eh, it's a learning experience.

From having skimmed some of your posts, in general the others were correct: as town you want to be transparent and clear in your thinking. I may have missed something, but you seemed to make the common mistake of focusing on trying to hold things back so that you could solve others, but even as a PR that rarely wins games.

Often the solution is just to lay it out for others to solve you while you chip away at it. I can't recall if it was this game or the one prior, but someone commented they didn't want to be readable so that it wouldn't stand out if they rolled wolf in a future game, which personally I think is not great, but it's not my choice. And certainly we have other vets who don't play that way or only play that way to a point (e.g. trent makes some effort to be readable, but refuses to make reads lists).

That said, as town PR, there is an argument for playing just a touch shadier so that you look meh to townish but not towni-est, so that perhaps wolves NK elsewhere because they think you're potentially mis-lunchable (WIFOM baked in). And maybe that is what you were going for. Though FWIW, I wouldn't have voted for you there. Your tone was fine, you were consistent, even if perhaps wrong a lot.

But more relevant here, nothing I observed you doing was harmful to the game.

A common refrain I make is that relatively few players here are actually "technically strong" players in any absolute sense on par with say, a Whiskeyjack. Some are relatively better than others, but everyone here is eccentric.

If you have fun, play and get better by playing. /shrug

1. That it is.

2-3. I was being transparent as time went on, but I feel it was more my usual play style of not reading into everything and making huge lists of vibes gotten from posts/users that did me in....well along with my misremembering me being a doctor in a prior mafia game(though to be honest I still feel I played such a role in a prior game...so who knows what I should think about that).

4. Yeah I was wrong a ton but I at least tried. :\

5. Thank you for saying such. I tried to be respectful to everyone and follow the rules as best I could.

6. Agreed and that's part of what makes it fun(the eccentricites)...it makes it harder and more challenging/enjoyable to try and figure out who is what. Know what I mean?

7. I can try but I will likely always just skim as I could never be bothered to read 100% such longwinded posts of back-forth and analysis. That's just me, sadly. I will think about joining the game if the players list takes long to fill up, though. :)

Sad looks I can handle, what with what I usually have to put up with. :)

I will think on joining if not enough players are attained in a good period of time(as I just told bler).

Just thinking about the timescale for this game and the (lack of) speed of signups. I'm going to be away camping at least a couple of times over the summer and while I'll have my phone, I'll have limited opportunities to charge it and I only have limited data on my phone contract.
I think I might have to sign down. :(

You should play. Otherwise we'll all be sad.
