Oh ok, I said it out loud and determined if I use the full phrase as a subject it is just a type of game.

Thanks for carrying, team. My reads were pretty awful but the game was fun.
I remember talking about the idea I'd save something for postgame. It was @ DaisyCloud actually. None of the things I did in this game were intended to make you feel bad. Don't know if you have any hard feelings or not.
what happens in a TvM stays in a TvM.
wait, mafia game*
I keep forgetting u guys don't call them TvMs.
yes it is. to me it makes sense? I do try very hard to not hold grudges in mafia games iirc I say I might get salty post game but I rarely do. there has been a few games where things went to far. not this one though. and never in this community.
hosts and mods never asked me anything nor said anything to me about anything in this game. nor did I ask them or communicated to them that I thought things went to far. I thought about it when I was called a douche, but I didn't because I knew that Gavial was reading me wrong.
idk what to do about my AtE. since my first game I had people talk about how I have alot of AtE. maybe I word things wrong. and I do get genuinely confused about things alot and ask alot of questions. to me I feel like I follow through when someone answers them. and if someone ignores it I make note of it. if thdy weren't rhetorical questions then I ask again. maybe I pressure people wrong too. I hope I wasn't to agrivating to everyone. I like playing games here.
TvM= Town vs Mafia
iirc I used these other 2 acronyms and peeps had no idea what I meant too:
vtl= vote to lynch
vtnl= vote to not lynch
Sorta like how PoE makes no sense as a noun, but it’s just accepted as such.
As for the AtE,

In general I would say if you’re not actively feeling belittled, put down or just plain taking offense to something in thread, then everything is hunky dory. I have a lot of faith in this community that if the games go down that route, the resources are there to settle it.
I enjoy playing with you- and I chalk up the perceived AtE as your playstyle. I would objectively say if you post in the moment you can have a more feeling-type approach. And that’s fine, but it can also grind someone’s gears if they are playing a more blunt, direct game. Playstyles are different and I appreciate that aspect of the game- it’s a social one after all.
Name calling is generally looked down upon in any game, and can come out in these games in tense moments, but if no one feels personally attacked by them, that’s the game. I think my personal gripe against AtE is not knowing if it is genuine or faked for angleshooty reasons. It’s a perception thing and makes everyone not involved feel bad if they don’t know what to do. Like if your parents are fighting over something that doesn’t relate to you, but you’re stuck in the car with them. Mafia games can feel personal sometimes, and (‘specially in me not knowing you) AtE makes me want to turn the other way if used excessively.
That’s my view anyway
