Brian why are you upset
I was upset too and I'm sorry for laying into you a bit
I'm not. Sorry if I seemed that way.
Molten - Has contributed some to discussion, and with them being kidnapped I'm more inclined to believe that he's town. Of course, it's still entirely possible mafia kidnapped their own, so that's not the biggest point. At least we knows he's not kidnapper himself, right?
Mmm. I think that kidnapper can kidnap themselves.. maybe? But we're not even sure if he's lying.
Brian - I still think that Brian was trying to subliminally assert that Alisha wasn't trustworthy. The only reason I can think of for a townie to employ such an underhanded tactic would be if he was the remaining cop who got a guilty read on Alisha. Maybe I'm wrong, and he wasn't trying to be underhanded, but I'm pretty convinced. | After reading what just transpired, Brian still doesn't seem to be taking things very seriously. And he seems almost paranoid.
1. "I still think that Brian was trying to subliminally assert that Alisha wasn't trustworthy" I'm not that good at this game, haha. And also, it's not like I'm trying to make it seem like she's not trustworthy, but it's my personal opinion that she seemed like Mafia.
2. "The only reason I can think of for a townie to employ such an underhanded tactic would be if he was the remaining cop who got a guilty read on Alisha." Very incorrect. I'm claiming villager, I most definitely am not cop. Go back to the first bit of the game, I jokingly claimed she was mafia, I wasn't IMMEDIATELY sure she was mafia. That only came later ;P
3. "After reading what just transpired, Brian still doesn't seem to be taking things very seriously. And he seems almost paranoid." I'm busy, I've got other things to do and I'm trying to do the best I can but when this chat moves at 1 page every 15 minutes it's a bit hard to keep up, so I can only go on by what other people are saying at the time, and my quick reading of what came before. I'm also not paranoid, you're probably getting that from how defensive I was being.
Something that's important to realize is this is all text. There's no emotion, there's no punctuation, there's no pauses. Sure, you might be able to be with someone for a long time and guess how they type in certain situations. But what's important to remember is that it's all text. This means that it's like.. You said "He seems paranoid." that means it's SOMETHING about the way my text is coming out that looks like it's paranoid. What does it look like to you? Be honest. Probably how quick to the point I'm being and how many periods I'm using.
For example, if I type this: "Yeh I'm not sure so much haha lol
"
And this: "I'm not sure."
Looks different, right? And while it might be blatantly obvious right now, when you're in game and not dissecting each sentence, this can slip right past and end up how you look at me, emotionally.
Adding on to that, it also means that anyone whose good at the game will be able to perfectly mask how they're feeling. Once you realize it's all text, rather than trying to actually put what you think, simply lie. Not lie with your words, lie with *how* you put your words. Just like with the example above. Right now I'm typing, and as I type, I don't go back. I type and I type and it's exactly what I'm thinking in my head. What if I stopped doing that? What if I premeditated every single sentence I put, trying to formulate it to give you the emotional response I want?
That's what it looks like Alisha is doing, to me, for some reason. Again, not sure why, but that's just what I'm getting.
Another thing with text that is important is that people can
interpret it differently. This is so important to realize. What might look happy and fluffy to me, might look serious and straight to the point for you. That's why it's hard to formulate a correct emotional response for so many people. But when someone focuses on one person at a time, that's where they really get you.
Just things to keep in mind.
