When I see a PM waiting, my response is "Oh, what's happening in the Mafia board?", which I guess isn't bad.
This pretty much. PMs usually are for me either "I wonder what my role is" or "did I die tonight?".

Whenever I see "My Messages [1]", I think "Oh crap, is Toady banning me for something?"

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

That seems like the sign of a guilty conscious Akura. What have you done.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Same, mostly. Although that was back when I was getting in heated debates with a certain someone and might plausibly have caught a warning or a mute for something or other. Mostly, though, it takes me forever to even notice that I've even gotten a PM.

I'm another mafia player who associates PMs with roles and dying.

 My thought processes.

 Thoughts about things for forum game update lead to thinking about mix between that and another forum game. Three minutes later and Im thinking of something that may have the same level of complexity as parts of DF.

When I see I have an unread PM, I get my intrigue gameface on, whether I suspect it's for a forum game or not. Since the messages are so... uh, personal, I type more deliberately and play with words more than in public posts. It's also a great feeling to have that gameface fall to a heartwarming message such as that one time when a certain someone sent me a hug after I mentioned some life troubles in the sad thread.

Huh...

Found out "Ping Pong" isn't racist... It is a brand name and its name refers to the sound it makes. The whole China connection is coincidental.

Whenever one wants to console/advise in a more personal manner than a public forum post. We're all friends here; there's nothing weird about it.

Am I the only person very surprised by the idea of ping pong being racist?

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

My WTF: People think ping pong is racist apparently.

I have made a habit out of not questioning how Neo sees things anymore. No questions, just accept it.
