I think firewater had a lot to do with this thread, as well as a little bitterness that could have been avoided had all of the townies just been more vocal and cooperative. At any rate, I tried apologizing for my part in the bitterness, but there was some firewater involved that night as well and I believe it went unnoticed. But I digress. To the point, a bit of advice to improve your Salem gaming experience: hermit. I like to think I got to know a bit about your gameplay style in the short time we played together, and it seems you're like me in that you expect people in your town or group to play their role and stand by their word. And then when it doesn't happen that way for whatever reason, we tend to get angry at them and let the resentment grow until we're lashing out (in this case, quite publicly) or avoiding them altogether. So my advice? Hermit until you have murder, then kill everyone you hate. Seems to be the trend in this game. These new friendships will probably last as long as our group did under these distrustful and backstabbing atmospheric conditions, and once everyone has murder, the old world will be reborn and everyone can sit in Boston wearing clothes they bought in packs and waxing poetic about the proper way to play Salem, all while being too nervous to forage anywhere off the Boston claim. Hope this helps.
