Even if you don't want to try to be a leader of the town or something, sometimes sharing info with others and getting some yourself from them can be enough to help form more ideas then what you had before.

Ask them Questions.

Important Questions.

People have to answer questions.

If they don't, prove that they do.

Also, thanks Insho for linking me here. Neva woulda caught it.

Updated the first post with some new points. They will be marked *NEW* next to their number on the side. I'll take the markers out after NEW new stuff comes in if it's been long enough since I did an update.

Fine, fine. I'll try it.

But you're not going to see me making any alliances anytime soon.

You realize that the key to what we do is to start off by just being friendly to random people, keeping conversations alive as long as possible, even if they are spam, and just being friendly until you feel asking game related questions is suitable.

I mean, it doesn't ALWAYS have to be all about business.

Netiquette. Wheeee.

I actually tend to be more upfront about talking bout mafia stuff, but yeah that's definitly more just playstyle then anything else.

Poor insho when I first got in contact with him this game. :D

.....

I tend to (obviously) have a short temper, low patience and born with high negativity. Self-esteem is rock bottom zero.

Pity me not, I got warnings about you when I first talked with the team. XD
Although, don't get me wrong, I would have acted 99% the same Townie or Mafiosi. And that no claim thing WAS true.


@SJB: You need self esteem? Here have some of my boundless supply.
Why not go paint a picture? That always makes people feel good about themselves.

Not me. My art Sucks.

Then again, there are other ways. I prefer listening to music.

Basically, you just have to have an outlet for your creativity or knowledge, even if it doesn't go anywhere else.

I always draw and listen to music. It's just that my organs do not produce "Confidence Increase" chemicals.

....Excuse that last bit, I'm too addicted to Creatures... I think.

A lot of the conversations that Initially had with Force started with my Calc book and ended with something Mafia related. It was weird how they worked, I'd show you, but I already deleted all my PM's from this round.
'Stratagy' Notes wrote:*NEW* 4. MAKE SURE YOUR ARGUMENTS MAKE SENSE - It's great to be able to be the one to catch a mafian. But in your rush to seem like a hero of the world, you may find out that what seemed odd turned out to not really mean anything at all, and then you could have problems if you picked the wrong person. If you see something that seems odd, try to think of other reasons that they could have said or done something, and see if it makes sense at all. You may find it's just too weird to ignore, and press on. Sometimes you may find another reason that seems to explain it for the time being. Either way, it helps to think it through before accusing someone.
Check with the person you are accusing if you have to make up crap. Do not send the argument to somebody else and hope they will catch all the problems. Because chances are they won't, no matter how much more experience than you they have.

I remember that. XD
He robbed from the rich, and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man, and gave him what for
Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain
