Khush, I was already upset in the first place, you are nothing special in that regard. If defending what I said (because that's what you do in an argument, I know, it's a fucking revolution, isn't it?) is getting "upset" then what has everyone else been doing when they argue?
Well, for me personally, I've been doing it in a way that doesn't involve swearing or calling someone an asshole just because I disagree with them. As Apdude said, it's the tone of your posts. However, you also mention that you were already upset so that is probably why they are coming off that way.
And while I really should probably just stop, I'm going to try to point out one last time why people are viewing you negatively because ultimately that's why I'm engaging in this discussion with you in the first place to try and show why you are not connecting with everyone else.
The first problem is you are telling everyone there is a problem with the way they are playing the game. They are just bandwagoning the same individuals and no one is putting much thought into their votes. Fair enough. Others have made a similar complaint already. However, those people have questioned the bandwagons asking for answers or trying to give out another name to vote for and garner support for that vote or explain why people should change their vote. You have not. You just keep telling everyone they are playing poorly and that you don't like the way they are playing. That's it. Here is all that you have posted in the past 4 days:
I wish I was told that I was in this game. I was only a backup.
In any case, I'll make sure I message everyone now.
He wasn't even supposed to come into work today!
wat
Vol. 1 for action, Vol. 2 for those great character moments?
Am I alive?
Vote: No One
I won't be online until tomorrow.
And this is why I really didn't want to keep playing. The wagoning on this site is fucking ridiculous, and if any of you were playing on EpicMafia or another forum you'd be banned immediately.
The mafia and/or is directly or indirectly causing the wagoning to happen and you townie sheep are following their every whim. This happens every time.
Alright. Up to this point, nothing really major going on. A lot of fluff posts really which is part of the problem. You’ve shown nothing so far in trying to guide the vote or point out any suspicious behavior or suggest possible candidates or anything really to indicate a willingness to participate in a meaningful way except for maybe your first post.
But now, you attack how everyone else is playing thereby opening yourself up to criticism when they look at how you have played so far up to this same point. You make a fine point in the second part of your post but people won’t care about it because of the tone/attitude of the first part of it.
Moreover, you talk about playing mafia somewhere else and being banned for this behavior but you don’t mention what should be the proper behavior or how people on those sites play this game or nor do you show any willingness to try and change the current play style to these other shining examples. You just want to tell everyone how bad it is here and that they are playing bad and leave it at that. That’s why no one is taking you seriously or listening to you.
Anyways, let’s finish up.
I can't remember, do we know who the KIller is who he's sided with? If he's maf-sided, he's an idiot.
I'm not complaining. I'm commenting on how stupid the Killer was. Those earlier rants are legit ones, considering all the wagoning that was going on. That, more than anything, pisses me off.
And voting for "no one" is scummy? Bullshit. It's a valid strategy. Let me reiterate what I said in another thread:
I voted random because I wasn't going to be at the computer in time and I needed to get some sort of vote in. I didn't want to vote for someone without looking at everyone again, but I didn't have the time. I'm a bit more active today, but you don't need to be an asshole.
Voting for no one is a lot better than wagoning on a townie three days in a row. Get your priorities straight.
Jesus Christ. Fine. Good game Mafia.
Vote: Oblivion
Again, you state the killer is stupid and an idiot even though you admit that you can’t remember what the killer’s affiliations are but you are just going to make a judgment call on the situation anyways. You get into a bit more of discussion of how your way is right and other players aren’t which I will mention a bit more of in a moment. Finally, when faced with a bit of adversity and a few votes but a whole lot of time left in the day, you decide to not fight or argue for your game life but surrender.
Here you’ve got a moment where players are fully focusing on you but instead of using this opportunity to make a difference, to point out someone else who might be more worthy of voting out than you, to make some headway and get people to start listening to you more, you leave.
That’s the first problem. No action to back up the talk.
