Avatar Question (look in thread)

I think in Myko's experiment when he posed as a girl with a flower as his avatar, he found that he got lynched much less in games.

Shucks, I wanted to do that As an experiment. Meh. Is there a thread or anything with his findings?

No. It was a private study done years ago, unbeknownst to the general public for obvious reasons.

You could probably do it as well with a secret alt if you think you can post like a female.

Actually, you could probably just ISO "Purple Rose" and piece together the results if you're really curious.

Are you suggesting there is such a thing as "female posts" in Mafia ?

Posting in a style described by Elbirn in 20 is such an example.

Oto and cc, you misunderstand. It's not whether you can successfully imitate a posting style of the female gender; I'm not sure whether such posting style even exists.

Rather, it's more of posting in a certain style/personality geared to certain people who find such posting style and/or personality enjoyable. The posting style described by Elbirn in 20 is an example of posting style that may come off as "feminine" and enjoyable to some people. I would imagine that a better example would be found in the Purple Rose ISO, if you're interested.

And no, I never encountered a female player posting like that either.

I doubt people would actually believe that the player is a girl, but I can certainly imagine people being thoroughly entertained, maybe to the point where it starts to affect their read on the player.

Just lay your weapons down and walk away.
