I don't get it. Why do people find me so scummy? I know I have a tendancy to panic at inopportune times and stick my foot in my mouth, and my communication skills do need work (I keep forgetting that people can't read my mind and make unwarrented assumptions), but this is the third (and possibly soon to be fourth) time that I've been lynched because I'm so "shiny".
Feel free use my posts in Asylum Lane as examples if you're not comfortable referring to an ongoing game.
I'm trying to like playing Mafia - it can be a lot of fun, but it kind of sucks if every time I'm in one I'm always going to be topping the charts on everybody's suspicion lists. I suppose I could go full tilt Shiny Distraction (tm), but I figure I could use some advice.

Well, I think part of the Firefly Lynch was because the Game Mods are Evil Bastards. ;D

But remember: the first couple of Days are rather disorienting. Someone (basically at random) will get lynched. There are few exceptions, at least when you look at the "SDMB" games. But seldom does true scum get lynched on the first two Days. One of the things you have to avoid is simple, even obvious: panic. Do not panic. Do not start revealing stuff simply because you are on other people's target list. And start developing your own style. Disregard attacks on your persona (remember: it's just a game). If you want to continue this conversation in-depth, wait until it seems like you won't be subbing in. And then PM me/remind me of this conversation in the "perfect knowledge" forum. Cheer up, kiddo!

-and- they gave one of the made up names to a Vanilla townie. I think you were destined to die. Well, if Caerie doesn't come around, and you sub her, I can't imagine you being placed in a worse position.

:nod: Sorry about voting for you Dotchan, it wasn't anything person. I just didn't believe you. And regardless of whose name would have been there, I would have been quite suspicious of them. So chalk that one up to the Mods, but I'll be better from now on.
