First and foremost, let me explain the difference in noob-ness. Check out the ww sign up thread. I've been on SDN for a total of 2 months. I started looking at the lounge out of total boredom because I was fed up with premed forums, and so i've come to learn a little about people from the lounge. Then, I saw a WW thread coming to the top, asked a bunch of questions about it, read a few past threads to get the hang of things, and then it looked fun so I PM'ed jojo to sign me up. I used the SnS abbreviation because that's what my group members did, and honestly everyone uses abbreviations.
The reason I asked jojo about wolves is because that was honestly not information I could gather from reading past threads.
The reason it wasn't a private PM is because when the rules were explained to me, I was told that PM's outside of the game for info are Verboten, so I didn't want to get modkilled for being dumb. It didn't seem like that big of a deal to me.
I played up the "I know how to play" business at the beginning because as it's been said, I'm Chillbo, and my role message summed up to something like, "you've played a few games and now get all the roles? what?" so my role was telling me to act experienced I guess. Is that enough? Anything else? I'm vanilla. If you lynch me, I'm gonna throw stars around a big "I TOLD YOU SO."
