FF, I'm not trying to pick on you but feel this should be said.
Whether it's me, DD, or someone else... vets are going make observations about you or ask you game-related questions. (That applies to you and other players with whom you identify closely on personal basis as well... like pir, bally, and so on.) This does not mean they are out to "get you," either for game reasons or personal ones.
In several of your posts, you are coming off as paranoid and a tad sensitive to posts made by others (mine included) even when they just mention your name. When any player demonstrates defensiveness in the game, it's gonna draw suspicion their way. And if you are innocent and you react defensively, like you're holding a grudge from outside the game, or like you have a chip on your shoulder... it's going to be misinterpreted in a suspicious way. And that will hurt the town.
I realize I tend to come on strong and yesterday my posts were probably too flippant for any mafia game. If that upset you, I am truly sorry. I have very little time to play mafia at all and even when I am at the site, I cannot immerse myself in this thread long enough to even review the posts I want to look at much less worry about how I phrase something or wonder if it might hurt someone's feelings from a personal standpoint. It's going to be that way for the whole game. A lot of my posts are going to just be quick one-liners I post in a hurry while I am also doing other things not related to this game.
As for seeming short-tempered to you, let me assure that I'm not angry or upset about anything or anyone. And I really mean that. At the same time, I am stressed trying to keep up with everything all at once. I also admit I'm fed up with some of the drama that happens game after game. But I also don't feel I have to hide this or pretend everything is just dandy when it isn't.
Mafia is rough game to play for a lot of people. Some posts that seem harsh may just be a reflection of the poster's personality or even a tactic to gauge the response it draws (sometimes from other players who are not even the one addressed in that post). When you see this from anyone, just remain calm and respond with composure. If you suspect there might be an underlying motive behind it... that's great. Pay attention to it because there might be. But don't automatically assume that must be. And don't base all your judgments on that single factor because this could distort your view of the game and our view of your role in it.
