Is this a misrep? I said,

 

Quoting only the bolded part does not seem to be giving a fair representation of what I actually said. And the reason I was not actively the game was that no one had started yet doing anything that could be read or judged.

 

Was this deliberately taking the wrong meaning or am I just that difficult to understand?

Expand  

 Difficult to understand.  I read back and can see now you were saying that people find you suspicious, even when you are not playing Mafia.

 

Which is still a very odd and somewhat troubling thing to say.

Heavy, if you are town, maybe more zen Heavy and less RP Heavy. The latter muddies your intentions and imo detracts from your perceptive abilities.

Fair point, thank you.

lol, I don't use a thesaurus. I do use a dictionary though - most people use them when they read a word they don't understand, use them when I write a word I don't understand. #heavyproblems

Expand  

Side question: is the dictionary thing in part due to translation? I think your Scottish living in Netherlands and this is an English language forum. My only other language is a bit of secondary school Spanish so I only think in one language. Genuinely curious, but of course if im overstepping just ignore this.

@HeavyHalfMoonBlade you said this is your third game - what alignments were you in the first two? Also, what alignment are you now? Thanks!

How does Dice know he's a lawyery-type person?

If you were a bit more social you would have seen that Marsh has been super busy in the last 10 years or so, in the sign up thread, and we contacted him at exacyly the right time lol

Wombats have cubic poop. Nuff said.

 

Lol, that isn't what I was saying either - I was saying that even when I was involved in NAI activities, not trying to cast shade or read or whatever, people were finding me suspicious. And I did wonder about the implications of that outside of the game, but it is hardly relevant here.

Scottish people speak English I should point out here, in case that is a misunderstanding - I'm not a Gael and even they are fully fluent in English. Having to learn another language late in life probably doesn't help, but most of problems come from the fact that my vocabulary soaks up words from a lot of different sources so I am not always sure if I am using words entirely correctly without a dictionary. That probably sounds odd to a lot of people, but that is the way my brain works.

You know when you think oh this is so funny. And then you second guess and think maybe not. But then you remember Heavy's kid cursing in Scottish and you think oh what the heck.

You're not the boss of me. Also if you want a specific person to answer maybe not ask a general question.

Thanks Heavy. I wasn't trying to criticise your English ability. Sorry if it came across that way. I didn't really understand the dictionary thing and was trying to in order to help understand how you get your points across as it is a bit different from mine.

Disrepected is probably not the most apt word. But I mean, it is worrying that people find me wolfy even when I am not actively playing the game - as in not giving reads, not hunting wolves, not trying to set false leads - just me being me saying "hi". What implications does that have in the broader world? Lots? None?

 

Irrelevant to the game, but disconcerting nonetheless.

well, yes as someone that knew the alignments in the game and had read along, I suppose it took me by surprise, which it shouldn't have done.

Expand  

 

Look it's early on in the game. So not much is "damning" as it were at this stage but I do think one can pick up on nuances. Could be luck, could be good intuition or merely just a lot of past experience with a specific player that helps.

 

I do find it odd that you think it's not valid to find you suss if you're not actively playing/hunting wolves. So yeah, that in itaelf, especially if the behavior continues would most definitely have implications. Early on in the joking phase, agreed, prolly not significant.

 

You seemed to have caught up well on the abbreviations which is nice. I think you'll need a few more games under your belt to better understand the game dynamics. For instance, sometimes a player would vote you to gauge your reaction as part of the process of trying to read you. It's not necessarily coming from a bad place/scum trying to get you dead.

 

Now, I want to kill nasties. Help would be kindly appreciated, assuming you're a townie. So... get to it 😜

The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.

She whips a pistol from her knickers.

She aims it at the creature's head

And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.

A few weeks later, in the wood,

I came across Miss Riding Hood.

But what a change! No cloak of red,

No silly hood upon her head.

She said, "Hello, and do please note

My lovely furry wolfskin coat."
