Working my way through posts again....
Because I don't want to hurt the side I'm on with the way I've played. When that happens I feel really bad, and like I've ruined the game for others. Sometimes to the point of not wanting to join a new game, to avoid ruining other peoples fun.
In the SG game, I got myself outed as scum, and slipped up even more with revealing there still were people left in my group. In the NCIS game I outed myself as doc, to save our backup-doc. Basically if I died, the backup doc would receive my doc powers. In other words 2 docs outed, and quite early at that. In another game again, I made a major slip. IIRC I was scum and someone tried to miss-quote me to present me saying something I didn't, someone else pointed it out, and I basically said "Phew, glad I didn't make that mistake!" or along those lines.
Or are you asking what I'd consider a major screw up in this game?
I started that way, because I decided to answer the question in general, and not specifically related to this game. I always am nervous/worried about screwing up. Mafia, town or neutral, doesn't matter. I don't like making a mistake that will end up hurting my team. Besides if I had started "Because I don't want to put the town in a worse position." then I'm basically stating I'm town. And you guys won't know for sure if I'm town, so what's the point? At this point everyone in this game can scream off the top of their lungs I'M TOWN!!!! But we can't verify it, so it doesn't help the town at all. Also by answering the question in a more general (I guess OT/out of game sort of way), I can prevent this question from arising again in future games. It saves the town time that can be spent scumhunting instead.
@Pyro: Was the question aimed at getting a response specifically for this game? Until answered...

Putting these two quotes together. Ok, I get the part where you don't want to "hurt" the "side" that you are on, but in actuallity by stating multiple times that you are trying to be cautious doesn't make it sound like the side that you are on is the towns side. By proclaiming that your trying to be catious its like saying that you are conciously making an effort to not be caught. This then leads me into my second question, which was what you would consider to be a major screw up. It was directed toward getting a reponse specifically for this game, however I did expect you to say something along the lines of the above (wouldn't want to put the town in a worse position yada yada), your actual response is however much more interesting because instead of coming out with the standard response you essentially all around avoided the question and referenced previous scenarios almost as if you don't want to seem like your town or mafia in this game. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it was in no way expected.
Thank you so much for answering a question directed toward Leo.
@Leo - My question to you is still asked.
That's twice. Why are you covering for Leo and Moar?
Sorry Gory, from when I read it the first time it sounded like you were addressing the question towards either me or kegs since we saw the reference and that you would like one of us to try and fill you in on what the reference was. I didn't know it was directed toward Leo.
As for the second part, I was trying to be humorous, but if you had to point it out, I guess it wasn't.
You skipped the paragraph where I mentioned "wild theory." There was a lot of talk about a posting restriction in the sign up, so why not? And what if this post restriction does nothing but render their vote meaningless, and the mafia are using that to try and hide a tree stump for the first member that gets heat on them? If that were the case and they did have the ability, they probably wouldn't use it the first day.
BTW, you breadcrumbed it first in my quoted post. And did you confirm a post restriction with your first question I bolded?
I think I'm lost on your thinking, you post a "wild theory" in which a whole bunch of people are connected through the use of various restrictions/roles/whatever, but then go on to say that they probably wouldn't use it on the first day? Which is it? Do you believe this is happening or you don't?
At the moment I really have nothing to base suspicions upon.
There have been some silly/odd posts but I fail to see how people can read so much into it on the first day.
My vote on postrestrictstegs stands
Wow, ok. Your almost as good as the great noodle at lurking, except he never votes on the first day.
Interesting.

Trying to make a case for me posting and save your lesser posting scum buddies?
Also, I don't have posting habits, as they have been different every single game.
A lurker pointing out other lurkers, and even though you may think it, everyone has a posting habit.
