Hello all!

VOTE: King Cankles because my phone is going to insist on autocorrecting it to candles every time I type it.

And cankles freak me out.

Are you really going to expect me to compare the merits of "I don't like spelling cankles" and "ciara stole first post"? The better question is, why are you sufficiently bothered by picking up a 2nd vote to ask a dumb question like that?
It was more of a joke to be honest. Because you said choo choo. Like a train.
Wasn't sufficiently bothered by it - but now I'm wondering why an IC would be so defensive about a vote in the RVS stage when all votes are clearly just to get discussion going...

(Also slightly rude. We're all just here to have fun.)

I'll admit to being slightly rude, but I feel like that's within a pretty reasonable layer of civility (attack the play, not the player sort of thing).

I guess I'm a bit confused by your "joke" question here:
Why was WhyMafia's train better than mine?
is tonally consistent with an actual question asking for information, as opposed to being intended as just a joke (like, the train bit seems fine as a joke sort of thing, but the point of it was "why" as opposed to "lol watch me make a train joke"). Are you now saying that it was not intended to be serious at all?

Because it reads to me as weird that you'd make a "joke" that doesn't read like a joke, and that instead read just like a really bad attempt at asking a serious question, and then you'd then shade me for being "defensive" about pushing you about why you'd ask such an empty question, especially when you note that the goal here is to "get discussion going", which it seems pretty clear that this was something I've been actively trying to do.

Explain?

(also, if you could provide any relevant meta examples of you making jokes that read as non-jokes that'd be cool, unless it's something that you're not really self-aware about)
I don't really keep a log of jokes that fall flat, but you're more than welcome to flick through my posts (although I was last active on this site two years ago so I'm not sure they'd be entirely relevant.)

Yes, it wasn't meant to be serious. It's RVS. I was genuinely asking you to compare the merits of the two trains that started during RVS. I evidently could have saved myself all this hassle by putting a smiley face after it.

How vitriolic do these games get? We're two pages in and already going at each other's throats.
Depends on the game and the players. The important thing is to attack the play style, not the player/s themselves.

Welcome to your first game! Have fun!!

Hello RadiantCowbells!!

Very quick post here, I'll be back with actual content (hopefully) this evening - work is hectic because I took last weekend off (please play your small violins for me)

Still no real strong reads on anyone, but I'm going to Reread the thread with Persephone's idea of Fykus as scum in mind.

So after a quick reread, I'm still a bit iffy.
Fykus, King Cankles and PestoSwami are still a bit quiet for my liking. A few reads lists going up and I don't know do I agree with any of them. Not a whole lot of content in the game yet except smith's reaction to my post, and honestly, if he hadn't been so defensive in his reply I'd be town reading him.

Like radiant for town so far but that's just a gut thing, no proof to back it up yet. On the fence about Why Mafia.

Work was crazy busy today - I'll try post something more coherent tomorrow when my brain wakes up again.

Hello, prod dodge, I've quick read through the newer posts. Welcome WhaleBarnicle! I'll answer your questions this evening when I get back home from work - I had very little access to the internet yesterday, hence my lack of posts.

Enjoy camp WhyMafia!!

Newbie games are all about the learning curve. Never give up on trying to learn how it works! Everyone has bad games where things turn against them :)

Can someone give me a quick run down of the 'Fykus is scum' train of thought? All I'm seeing I the slightly weird RVS interaction between himself and WhyMafia. Is that the main reasoning behind the votes?
