Second.

I think it is really mature of you to admit mistakes and be willing to work on being better. Kudos.
Not like I can, though. 6:20-7 pm, on Tuesdays and every other Thursday, not exactly a good way to actually prove it. :P
(Besides...being able to admit you made a mistake and actually being able to CORRECT it are two different things entirely. I know what I did wrong. But I've run through my head...how exactly would I play, if not the way I did?
Now, being a writer, I can envision many possibilities...but no matter how many times I tried, I always saw my style as imperfect, scummy in different ways. Meaning that I would've failed that hypo-game, regardless of alignment. In some, I was too serious, to the point of being anti-town. In others, I was far too light-hearted, not doing ENOUGH scum hunting. In others, despite TRYING to balance the two, I still imagined how hard it would be, and how many mistakes I could make.
I honestly fear what I'd do in a new game. As in, I fear I'd fail worse than what I had.)

I think I'll pass on the title.
I'm back! Well, kind-of.

Try not cutting up peoples posts to fit any argument you pick out of a hat. Thats usually a good start. Not posting for the sake of posting is also a good one.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

This is a fallacy. I always read ABR as scummy but he's a damn good mafia player. I haven't played with you, but based on your writing style in this thread, I think your problem is verbal diarrhea. It takes you way too many words to say what needs to be said.

Mastin, I'd recommend writing up your posts as you usually do (at worst), and then cutting out all repetition.

When I last played with you I noticed that you repeated yourself a lot.

It's this really. I think you just get too involved sometimes in fleshing out what you are trying to say, as if you were thinking aloud. Read more Hemingway and Faulkner to get a sense of portraying meaning without a lot of words.

I think consciously recognizing an issue is the first step to correcting it.

I agree with the last sentence, but I don't think Pom would like the title.

I don't find it particularly funny. Perhaps a variation. She's not my alt at all and this was the only behavior like that between us (which was wrong and I've sworn off). Sister drama is more like it. Alt-related titles should be actually funny and alt-related (see Empking's Alt's Alt).

It's okay to make an alt related joke in a title, even if she really isn't your alt. If you ask me giving alt related titles to actual alts is even less funny (see Empking's Alt's Alt) and encourages purposeful and systematic abuse of this thread.

Mmmmf. My real point is that alt-related titles/titles calling someone someone's alt are rarely very funny. Empking's situation was of the minority.
