Okay no we are coming from very different places.

I’ll be the first to admit that these follow ups from Somber are a barrel of laughs, but you are the one who is confused friend. Somber thought he saw something.

I don’t know if I buy Somber’s explanation. He said he saw the same thing as me. He then said that he thought the response was coy, which would mean there is nothing in the original post that Somber saw. But I declared my desire for murder right after Anon’s initial post, and anyone who would have been reading anything into me would have thought I saw something in the original post, not any response. I probably didn’t explain that clearly but whatever.

I doubt YPM would be so on the nose if he was scum, and me missing somber's post makes sense of the rest, but does make somber look curious in YPMs place

What has happened? AA does this at least three times a game, and it seems like a bunch of non-content overall. Bif had a weird response to it, but not much I can do with that until she comes back.

After. Seemed like the usual grasping at straws that people do to transition out of jokephase, just extra weird because everyone kinda figured out it was grasping at straws so quickly. You did give us a lot of insight through people's reactions to your misunderstanding though!

Maybe some of the resulting discussion was crossed wires, but I felt like YPM made his point against me pretty clear and was surprised that it didn't merit comment.

I'm good enough at making myself sad without hearing about the high school experiences Something Awful forums users, thank you very much.

I see the point YPM is making about anon and I mostly agree. If I remember correctly I think I just like bullying Anon though.

This is the isolated interaction that led me to believe Somb was joking.

That he comes back and tries to explain it really makes me wonder what it is he thought he saw, as mentioned by other players, sorry I'm late to the party.

If somb hadn't come back to explain this bolded bit, I would have 100% taken it as a joke.

Well, I don't think it can be settled so neatly, somb calls what YPM was doing pressure... and we know that's not what YPM was doing (right?)

I feel like somb was parsing that exchange a bit more seriously than need be, but if idiot isn't joking, then he looks funny for overreacting???

I mean, I was pressuring but in a very ineffective way. I would be hesitant to hold it up as an example of pressuring, because pressuring has a connotation that it was a plan of some sort. It was me fooling around while also being somewhat curious how Anon would react.

It really doesn’t matter what you call it and I’m making a bigger distinction than I need to, I just hate when people do something stupid and then act like they are a puppet master, so I’m trying not to do that here.

It does though, I further explain it.

He said he saw YPMs point

Then first chastised YPM, about being aggressive since he knew the player was new.

Then admitted he thought idiot was acting coyly wrt a series of posts from YPM, that until he himself explained as pressure did not in any way look like pressuring.

What it all boils down to is that inferring tone is not a good idea. But I still am not sold on the sincerity of the entire series of interactions. Willing to not let this take up more of the day though.

You can trust me to overreact to things happening, and trying to hide it in an improv linda was. I lose the mood something and I'd head for me to tell what's a joke. I'm very dry.

As i said, i've only just started playing their mafia ganes and have always been eliminated in the first round. The memory that stuck to me was when someone dayvigged me for being playful on the forum, even after explaining myself.

When i heard you had a story about how you attended multiple proms i got curious. Then you reacted with wanting to murder me. The only thing i could think of for why was that it must've been a personal story and that i had overstepped somehow. That me asking you ticked you off.

I get the impression that these games get very personal and i can't tell who's joking or who isn't.
