My biggest irk so far is being called a liar. Being accused of scum doesn't bother me so much, but the certainty that people of either alignment that I absolutely MUST be lying pisses me off to no end.
I hate lying. Making shit up takes too much effort. Why lie when the truth is so much more interesting?
I also get annoyed by people who can't be bothered to use proper spelling and punctuation. It makes them sound dumb and incoherent.
Ditto people going: "OMG I'm so confused I don't understand!" Doing that in game makes me instantly suspicious, because I start wondering if they're making themselves come across as stupid as part of some nefarious plot.
And I'm always really, really, REALLY paranoid about my actions costing my side the game. I'm always worried about screwing up...which probably doesn't help me play better.
As a Mod, I also worry about finding the balance between being too mean and too lenient.

dotchan, it is not your fault if the side you are on loses the game. If people cannot decipher your actions, then the responsilbility is theirs not yours, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Of course if you are playing scum, then the idea is to fool the other people anyway.
You style is, I might add, quirky to say the least and you have a habit of saying some odd things at the strangest time, but people have to draw their own conclusions and understanding of what you say.
Being called a liar is par for the course in Mafia. No-one trusts anyone unless the are confirmed and even then you may disagree with what they say. Someone will also want to suspect you as a liar, if you don't fit in, with what they suspect is going on.
Personally, I hate the waiting in between Days, even with a night action (I am referring to the other game people, not this one).
During the day, you can interact and deal with what is going on, nighttime is mostly out of your control.
The other thing I hate is bad tags. its the programmer in me, it just should not happen. Do people not know how to use a preview or something?

I never preview unless it's a long Page. I hate computers. But I loves the internet. Rarely use these message board things.
Also, with the lying thing, I agree with Cat. Though when I get called a liar, i always then ask for "Why?", so that way 1. I know they have a reason. Damn Scum WOULD want to call you a liar. Esp. if they knew you over react to it. It's mind games! 2. I can see if I may have come off as a liar, and improve myself in future speakings. 3. Hi Opal. (Squeeee! I got to use an SDMB Meme), 4. I also can then figure out if its a valid reason or not, and see how to amend things.

I don't like the nights....or moderators who aren't monitoring every post to see when to end the day. ;D
